Hi there everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your long holiday weekend! I've had a little time to spend at my craft desk. I made up some really easy cards to send out in packages I have to get out this week. Here's what I came up with....
This first one I made completely "borrowing" Sarah's design from
liveloveandscrap.blogspot.com I've been trying to think of a way to use the mushrooms from the Paisley cartridge and I thought Sarah's card was just too cute. This is also using a scallop for challenge #40 over at
cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com The circle and scallop are from Mini Monograms which I grab all the time for scallops and circles. I didn't realize it until this post but I think it's the exact same stamp as Sarah's. Ack! I hope she believes that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I really do love all that she does! Thanks for the inspiration. The patterned paper is ancient Chatterbox (are they even in business anymore?) from my stash.
The next card I cut the little birdie from Cherry Limeade. I just love this bird. Same papers used here. I am the worst with ribbon! Ack! I think I need to force myself to use it until I get better with it.
This one the patterned paper is from DCWV Summer Dream stack and the cut is from the Home Decor Solutions cartridge.....
Lastly -- this card is using the same DCWV Summer Dream stack and the cut is from one my new cartridges I got a few days ago Rock Princess. Butterflies are just so pretty and this one is a great one. I need to try the stained glass looking butterfly cut from the Rock Princess soon... that one looks gorgeous.
That's all I've got for now. I'm heading out for a family BBQ in a bit. It's really hot today here so I'm sure I'll take a dip in the pool as well. Tomorrow I've got nothing planned but spending time on my scrapbooks and I'm really wanting to try to make a post-it note holder. We'll see how it goes :)
Thanks for looking and have a Blessed Sunday!
Cheers
