Bellarific Friday 6/25/10

This week's Bellarific Friday was a sketch challenge. I just love sketches! I used my new Mavis stamp called Mavis Builds a Sandcastle. Isn't she just adorable. The design paper is all from a beach stack of paper I got last summer and just now opened.

Have a great weekend!

Viva La Verve June Week 3

I have been having trouble posting this to SCS all day, so I decided to post it here instead. I used LuLu's Wedding Cake for this card. This is mostly the sketch from VLV this week, but I changed it a bit to go with the gate fold card I had started.

Have a great night!

Wednesday Stamp Club 6/16/10

Yesterday the new Wednesday Stamp Club challenge was posted in the MFT Forum on Splitcoast. The challenge this week was a color challenge of red, green, and yellow. I went with a mish mash of papers for this card. The yellow is from MFT's Spring Paper Pack and the green is from Basic Grey. I used Joline for this card since she reminds me of me outside watering my geraniums. I used the sketch from yesterday's sketch challenge on SCS. Each of the flowers is accented with a little yellow rhinestone.

I am also throwing in another MFT card I did today. I used Mud Buddies to complete Tuesdays challenge on Mercy's Blog. The design paper is from Basic Grey. Can you tell I am on a gardening kick lately. I just love flowers!

Enjoy!

Father's Day

I finally finished the last of my Father's Day cards for this year. My dad is a huge train guy. Him and my mom plan vacations around seeing trains and train layouts. I used a digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil for the main image and Clearly Sentimental about Vacations from MFT.


The second card uses TV Riley from Riley and Company. I used some of the left over baseball paper from my boys birthday invitations, as well as some baseball stickers I have had lying around for years.

I figured it was safe to post them on here since none of the men in my life ever read this. If I am not back before Sunday, enjoy a great Father's Day with your men!

Summer Mode

Even though it is not summer yet, I am already losing my crafting momentum. I began an exercise plan yesterday and it is kicking my butt! All I can think about afterwards is a shower, some ibuprofen, and a nap. It is also baseball playoff season here and that is making for a hectic schedule. Plus the fact that I am trying to catch up on paperwork that has been long neglected. I have a project sitting on my table waiting to be completed so hopefully I will get it done soon and have time to post it here if, that is, I can walk down the stairs...
