Son, So Proud of You

Woohoo! It's Friday!
There is a new sketch up on the My Scraps & More Sketch Blog.

Happy Sunday Scrappy Friends!

I chose to do a layout about Sierra and her friends. I used the Kreaxions 4 in 1 Punch #305 for my border, pleated it and then stitched it. I added the negative piece to the top of my layout and then took the same punch, along with the Star Stencil to create the doily:

Stand Tall

Hey there scrappy friends!
There is a new sketch up at My Scraps & More Sketches today.
I used a new manufacturer to me- Lawn Fawn and I love their stuff! I used the Hello Sunshine Collection for this layout along with a few embellies from the Fancy Pants As You Wish Collection (ticket, label sticker- watch out, & ephemera pack- camera, filmstrip and the word explore) of Austin at the lake a few years ago:

 

I used a Kreaxions Punch for my border, popped up the ticket in its natural state and stitched my title:

May Flowers

Hello and happy Monday!
Today we have a new challenge up on the Cards In Envy Blog.
The challenge is May flowers.
 Please make sure your card is an A2 card (4.25" x 5.5" and that card is relatively flat (no thicker than 1/4")

I embossed the top blue paper. I stamped the flowers and then used watercolors to paint them. It's hard to see, but I added Stickles to the centers of the flowers. I finished it off with some twine and a SRM sticker (Get Well) and added some rub-on letters that have been in my stash for many years:

 

Hope you will join in the fun and play along with us!

Sea Life

Hey There!
Happy Monday!
There's a new sketch up at LGS today!
I am trying to use up a little of my stash, so I grabbed the Barefoot and Bliss collection by BoBunny for this Spring Break, 2012 layout:

 

I added some watercolor to my background, fussy cut some fish and added some Thickers and a sticker to hold my journaling:

 

Here's today's fun sketch:

 

Hope you have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Saturday!

It's my day up on the Just Imagine Blog today and I want to share my card here as well.
I created this card for a challenge last month at Turtle Soup.
I used Kreaxions Punch #604 (butterfly). I cut strips of patterned papers and punched them with the punch. I adhered the strip of paper with the negative of the butterfly to my card base. BTW, this is a great way to use up those small scraps of patterned paper you have laying around. I then took 3 of the punched butterflies and added them to my sentiment block, super easy!

Here is my card:

 

Here is the punch I used:

 

 

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
