Easter Cards (I realize these are very late)

These are a couple easter cards I made for my family. I used SU's From the Garden retired Hostess set and Tangerine Tango and Baja Breeze CS. The ribbon is some satin ribbon from walmart it matches the Baja Breeze pretty close. Anyway I think I'll repeat this card in a few different color combos.

So here's the most recent layout I've done. It's 12 X 12. And I used this adorable paper pack from My Minds Eye called Garden Party. It came with a few sheets of cardstock and some diecuts. I loved it.

Anyway it's a pretty simple layout with some hidden journaling.

(Okay could not get this pics to line up, drove me crazy!)

I used some Pebbles In My Pocket Cardstock for the base and Stampin up Corne

r Rounder Punch.

Ok last couple of days were crazy! So I've got a few things lined up ready to go and am hoping to get some scrapping done as well.

Until Next Time.

Puffs:

CS: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Cameo Coral.

Ink: Just Navy

Access: SU Stampin Pastels, Stickles crystal, Blue Satin Ribbon (walmart)

Peek A Boo Voila and Voila

OK, so I realize it has been an extremelly long time since I have blogged. I have just been out of the loop I guess I fully intend to be better. Promise.

So here's a post I've had ready.

Here's a Peek a Boo card. I saw months ago on Dawn's Blog.

I had kindof a hard time with it but I thought Mr Chef was absolutely adorable. I just love him. So it's a standard 5 1/2" X 4 1/4'' inch card. Here is the front of the card, keep in mind this was my first attempt.

This is what the peek a boo looks like as you open it.

And this is the inside of the card.

This is a paper piecing card that was a Splitcoast Challenge a while ago.

Until next time...

SASSY SUZIE

Oh My Goodness, I love this set. When I saw it I had to have it. It was in the SU Occasions Mini Catalog. And of course I haven't even inked her up until now. Ridiculous right. Isn't she cute though.

Puffs:

CS: Pink passion, Soft Sky, Whisper White

Patterened Paper: Miss Elizabeth

Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Chocolate Chip, Pink Passion, Orchid Opulence, Tempting Tourquise

Access: Brads(American Crafts).

Holidays in July?

Do you see all these Holiday in July sales and things? I think that's kinda crazy but I was inspired to make a holiday card so I guess sublimanly it worked.

Here is something I came up with it's non SU. The Patterened paper is from Scenic Route it's the Laurel Seawatch Drive, I sure love their paper. I love double sided paper. It's the best. So this paper inspired the card. The dimensions of the card are 3" X 6".

Ok So a little Holiday in July. It makes me want to start Christmas shopping.

Until Next Time....

Paper Album

I saw this on Dawn's website. Here's her tutorial, she has all the measurements and she used all SU products. I just adore her site she always has fun posts full of inspiration.

I used this paper pack I got at Target it's Stemma, for mine as I didn't have any SU papers to match the graduation theme.

So here's my take on it.

This was super simple. And it's a great way to send photos to Family. Instead of just an envelope of photos. I intend to make one for my Grandmothers with recent photos of Lilly. I just think they are so adorable.

Puffs:

CS 2 sheets cut at 7 1/4" X 5"

Patterend Paper cut at 4 3/4" X 6"

Accessories: CS Sticker, Boho Blossoms Punch (SU), Glitter Brads ( Making Memories), Ribbon (walmart), 3/16" Eyelets (Zision)

Until next time....

Lazy Sunday!

Don't you just love lazy sunday's. It was windy and rainy here yesterday and we just kinda hung around. Lilly made a card for her Aunt Britt today. Isn't it cute, she picked the papers, stamp, glitter and placement. She loves scrapping with me. It's fun to see her creativity and she beams with pride.

I also made a card today, tried to get a couple done but my juice seemed to run out after the first one. So I'll try again tomorrow.. I am still rolling ideas around for the cute little board books I got at the dollar store.

Also had to run into target for some things and saw these cute ribbon packs in the dollar spot.

Until next time....
