Classy and Fabulous Card

It's Sunday evening and I hope you all had a great weekend.

I felt the need to get into my room and create tonight, so here is what i came up with.

I used Unity stamps of course ;) The shoe is from the Melody Ross set, "All Worth it," and the sentiment is from "Undeniably You."

The paper is My Mind's Eye and Pink Paislee.

These gorgeous buttons are from Lost and Found by My Mind's Eye.

The die cut was cut using a Nestability. I left it in the die when I sponged the edges with Old Paper Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I also stamped the shoe with the same ink so it would look like it was in the background. The cream panel was embossed with a Stampin' Up embossing folder. So pretty :) It was also sponged with the Old Paper ink.

The flower was off white, and it was sprayed with Tattered Angels Olive Vine Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for looking in, and I hope you all have a fabu week!

Card Patterns Sketch Card

I am making an effort to submit cards to more challenges. It helps me a lot, especially the sketch challenges. So here is my first card for the Card Patterns blog. There are lots of pics in this post because I love this card ;) I think it's the colors.

Here is the sketch.

I love Echo Park's For the Record paper. So retro and bright.

This little retro button is from my stash. No clue where it came from. And that giant rose is a sticker from a sheet that you can get to coordinate with the papers. Yummy!

The little row along the bottom is a rub on from Kaiser Craft. Cute!

The black polka dot paper is layered on a chipboard square that I painted to coordinate with the paper. I don't know about you, but I love polka dots, especially tiny ones like this ;)

And the little happiness ribbon is from Unity, of course, colored with Copics.

I hope you like it. And I hope you have an awesome day!!!

Thanks for stopping by! And Thanks for the Comments!!!

All Things Unity Challenge Card

I made this for one of my friends, but also for the All Things Unity Challenge. You should give it a go too. It's a sketch challenge. My favorite :)

I started with this Unity stamp and Pink Paislee's 365 Degrees paper. The stars are actually Unity also. I stamped yellow on yellow,
The buttons are Stampin' Up, as is the cardstock.

Thanks for visiting :) Have a phenominal day!!!

Unity Bird Tree

I hope you are all having a great Easter weekend!

I'm spending some time in my craft "studio" ;)

This image is from one of Unity's Kits of the Month. So cute! I colored them with Copics. The paper goes so well too. It's from My Mind's Eye Bloom & Grow line.

The inside is also decorated so I can submit it to the Unity Place Outside Inside Challenge.

I'm also submitting it to Unity's Bird Challenge.

The buttons are Stampin' Up, as is the Early Espresso cardstock.
Have a great weekend, and Happy Easter!

Family Banner

I was looking for something to make, and I found these banner pieces that I found in Michaels sometime last year. Perfect! Just the right number to spell Family!

Here are some closeups.

I had nothing to spell out family. All of my chipboard letters are far too small, as are my stickers. I have no letter stamps big enough either. Soooo I printed them on regular copy paper and very carefully cut them out. After die cutting the shapes from paper from Echo Park's For the Record to mount them on, I adhered the letters using my Xyron. I was inspired by the My Minds Eye blue papers. Love the colors. I used flowers from Prima and Stampin' Up. The tiny little vintage style tag is from Stampin' Up also. The letter k is staped on it (for our last name). The ovals and die cuts were sponged with Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. The die cuts were cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities. The borders were punched using various punches. After assembling I laced some seam binding through to hook them all together to hang.

This was submitted for the Moxie Fab World's Home Decor Challenge. The deadline has passed, but there are some great projects that were submitted if you want some inspiration.

Thanks for looking! And have a great day!

Another Gift for Eli

My sister's baby shower is this weekend, and here is another gift for the little guy.

These letters took a little work because I changed my mind about the color after painting them blue. It just didn't work, so green it was! Since there is brown in the room and in the paper I used (On Holiday by The Girls' Paperie) I wanted some brown. I didn't want the heaviness of more paper, so I used washi tape! Love it! It worked perfectly. I sanded all of the edges, which let the blue show through, so that worked. I Mod Podged over the paper and tape. I am becoming a Mod Podge Queen! Of course I had to add Buttons!!! I think it'll work great in his room.
Thank you for stopping by! And have a rockin' day!
ETA: I submitted this project to Moxie Fab's Home Decor Challenge. The deadline is tonight, April 21, at midnight!

Moxie Fab Card!

Every Tuesday over at Moxie Fab World Cath has a Tuesday Trigger. You use the trigger as inspiration. Here is this week's gorgeous trigger! I want this porch! I love the color combo too.

And here is my take on the Tuesday Trigger! I took the colors from the trigger, as well as the cozy home feeling. The rikrak and print are inspired by the apron. The lines of the tag are inspired by the lines of the rocking chair. I used Echo Park's For the Record! YUM! I so love this collection!!! Gorgeous! The teal paper is from Basic Grey, and the red is from Pink Paislee 365 Degrees. I sprayed two of the crocheted flowers with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.

Play along with us! It's nice to have a little inspiration sometimes.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a phenominal day!
