Verve Thank You

Hey there!

This card was a ton of fun to create, using different color inks and stamps.  

I used the large and small flower stamps from the Verve "Because of You" collection.

Thanks for popping in and visiting today!

CAS Twirls of Thanks!

Hey there!

I hope everyone had a fun holiday weekend filled with good food & good times with your loved ones!

I am super-excited to share today's card with you, as one of the challenges I'm entering it in is the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge "Material Girl"; to use material, fabric, canvas, etc. 

Well, I went searching thru my crafts looking for some canvas, 

and what did I find?

Some cross-stitching projects I'd done many moons ago!

And I figured this lil' ballerina was just the ticket!

Isn't she just adorable?

I cut her out, popped her up using foam-adhesives, and anchored her with that cute button and floss.

The layout is from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch, 

but I had to turn it to fit her in.

My "splotches" were created dabbing a paintbrush into some inks.

There ya go, CAS!

Thanks for stopping by today, 

I hope you have a great week!

**Thanks Mary for letting me know this also qualifies for the 
Mixability Challenge #23 at SCS!

Baby Shower Thank You's

Hey there!

I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend!

A few weeks ago, I shared some baby shower invitations 
that I created for my niece.

Today, I'd like to show you the "thank-you's" I made for her.

These really were quick & easy!

I had some of that paisley DP left over, 
so of course I incorporated it into these too!

Thanks for stopping by today!

I hope you'll join us at the A.R.T. Color Combo Challenge this week...


 but hurry! Our linky closes Tuesday at Noon (EST).

Mojo Thanks!

Hey there!

Things around here have been busy-crazy, but I was still able to squeeze in a "Thanks!" card for this week's Mojo Monday.

Here's a look at the sketch:

 

And here's what I came up with:

It's hard to tell in this photo, but those black circles that are tucked in have been embossed using my Cuttlebug.

I really liked the sketch this week, and am really excited because since it's the first Monday of the month, Mojo Monday is also having a contest.

Thanks for stopping by today!

CAS Thank You

Happy Friday!!

A friend of the family has asked me to make her several cards, and specifically some thank-you's.

This one was quick, easy and a ton of fun...I love this color-combo from this week's colorQ challenge to use Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, Real Red & Cool Caribbean (I substituted & used Bermuda Bay).

This was also a fun layout, which is from the CAS(E) this Sketch for this week.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope you have a great weekend!  I know we will, as tomorrow is my baby-girl's 23rd birthday!
