Fusion 30th Birthday Nephew

Hey there!

 

I needed some inspiration for my nephew's 30th birthday, and found it over at Fusion Card Challenge.

 

I decided to "fuse" both the sketch and colors together, and this is what I came up with.

 

I can't believe my nephew will be 30 soon, 

my the time does fly by quickly!

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Fusion#12

Happy Wednesday!

Today's card is inspired by the 

Fusion #12 Challenge:

 

Again, I fused both the sketch & colors together,

and here's my take on it:

 I started out with my SU! Crushed Curry Textured cardstock, put the Whisper White bg through my Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The flowers were made using my Spellbinders Rose Creations dies,  

(SU! Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango & Melon Mambo), and anchored them with some pearl-brads I had in my stash.

The sentiment is from TPC.  There ya go, clean & simple!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you'll join us over at my A.R.T. Card Challenge tomorrow 

(Thursday at 10am) for a new challenge...it's "anything-goes"!

Graduation & Fusion Enjoy

 Hey there!

I hope you had a good weekend!  I had a very special Friday evening attending my nephew's Graduation ceremony, and yah...NO rain!  Then Saturday we had his party here, and although it did rain, we all still had a good time.

Now on to today's creation...

it's another clean & simple card I made for 

this week's Fusion #10:

 Again, I chose to fuse them together.

My waves were created using a circle punch that I embossed with the Cuttlebug Swirls folder.

Thanks for stopping by today,
 I hope you have a good week!

Fusion With Sympathy

Hey y'all!

The last couple weeks, I wasn't able to get my creation done in time to participate in the Fusion challenges, but this week I did.

Here's Fusion #7:

If you're not familiar with the Fusion challenges, you have 3 choices: create using the sketch, use the picture inspiration, or "fuse" them together.

Again, I chose to fuse them, and here's my take on it:

The sentiments are from my new set of stamps (I recently won a gift-certificate to Our Daily Bread Designs), and decided to use them today.  I stamped them directly onto my paper, as this week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is to "stamp on DP".

And this week's challenge over at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday is to use butterflies.

Sympathy cards are (emotionally) tough to make, yet important to have some on hand.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Cheveron Birthday

 Hi again!

I had so much fun with the Fusion Challenge #1, that I decided to play along again this week.

I don't know about you, but I really love a sketch challenge with a color inspiration.  Sometimes I need that to get my creative-juices flowing.

Aren't those colors cool?

Even though the "chevron" style is really popular right now, the only thing I had was this chevron-green paper from DCWV.  I cut it out and matted it against the white.  For the gray circles, I just used 2 different sized circle-punches and glued those down.

Now that it's finished, I think it'll be a perfect masculine card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
