Butterfly Wishes ...

Good morning!
We have a new sketch challenge at The Outlawz Challenges located HERE.

This month’s sketch provided by me. You can find all my sketches in the tab bar above. Feel free to use but please credit me and link back to my blog if you use one.

This layout is quick and opens up a few possibilities for adding embellishments,

I am sorry as I tried multiple times to get a good picture of my card but my light box is not cooperating with me but this card is full of shimmer and looks so pretty in real life. So pretty!

It's a Girl ...

Good morning,
Today I am sharing a baby card I made for a co-worker preparing to start maternity leave.

Many people would be signing this card so I made it using a full sheet of 8.50” x 11” cardstock. The final card was 8.50” x 5.50”. A bit larger than my normal 5” x 7” cards to be sure.

Supplies

Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base) and Stampin Up!
Design paper from Sandylion (Atomic Daisies). The polka dot papers in unknown
Dies from Balloons from Papertrey Ink (Best Birthday), alphabets, sentiments and cradle unbranded

Glimmer paper from Neenah
Glitter glue from Studio G
Sequins from my Stash
Vellum for Stampin up!

Thanks for stopping by!

65years strong ...

Good morning,
Sharing a card I made for a work birthday. She’s turning 65 and they asked me to make a funny one so I used this hilarious image from Close to My Heart.

I did some masking and a bit of paper piecing on her skirt and shirt.
