Summer Sweetness (CBI18)

Cuttlebug's Challenge was to make a card using different shapes. I thought this would make cute invitations to a summer get-together. It wasn't hard to make at all...unlike the pictures of the watermelon below! I used the Cuttlebug folder Script to emboss the green.



I also found these while searching...I have no idea who created them, but aren't they an absolute work of art? Who woulda thunk?
Would love to hear from you...

The Latest Buzz

I love teddy bears! I've had this retired Stampin' Up set for awhile, but haven't used it! I thought Mojo Monday's sketch was perfect for it. I added some Stickles to the wings and some Crystal Effects to the jar to make it look shiny. The bear is layered and heat embossed/water colored. The cute butterfly brad is from Spare Parts and the ribbon is another $0.25 deal from Michaels. Paper is from My Mind's Eye.

2 "Just Because" Cards

I got a new stamp this weekend from our local scrapbook store. They carry the Magnolia stamps now and I was so excited to see all of them...trouble was limiting myself to only buying one!
This cute frog image is from Pink Petticoat. I didn't start out with this layout in mind, it just sorta happened. I love the Spring colors! It's simple, but cheery! This last card goes along with Tamara's recipe: patterned paper, 1 or more hearts (look on the frog), & ribbon.

Both images were colored with pencils. (Can you tell where my mind is with the colors I used today! LOL!)

High Hopes Challenge 17

I used the sketch over at High Hopes for this one. I don't currently have any of their stamps...they're on their way in the mail. I can't wait!!!! They are so adorable!
I love this little elephant from Craft Lounge. He comes with all kinds of accessories. I heat embossed and water colored the image. Added some crystal effects to the balloons. There are many layers to this card, as well.Also, check out that glittered dragonfly from Dress It Up embellishments. So cute!

Grow Old With Me

What better way to make a "love" card than to make a card for a wedding? This would constitute as a bargain card!! The pearls were $1.50 for 24 yards, the ribbon was $0.25 at Michaels, and the stamp in the background was out of Jo-Ann's $1 section!!!!
I heat embossed the back layer cardstock (Bazzill Aqua) and used my Birls & Swirls Cuttlebug folder for the white cardstock. My "genius" idea of adding the pearls turned into a "dumb idea" when I realized I was "growing old" with getting them on the card! LOL! I designed the quote on the computer. Following SCS214 sketch, I also was able to get in the challenge this week for Cuttlebug.
