Sweet Baby

Not feeling too wordy, and I should be cleaning so its just pictures today! (you lucked out eh?)

I entered these cards into Wee Memories' anything goes challenge and Get Sketchy's sketch challenge for this week.

Happy Thursday. 

Mr and Mrs

Hi there friends! Here's a little something I created for Get Sketchy's weekly challenge. 

I used some papers from Sasafrass Lass' Sweetly Smitten line. Love the vintage retro feel to these.. I kept it simple and I really like how this turned out.

Button button

Red, cream, black, and buttons. I love the vintage style button card. Especially with red buttons.

I was inspired by the  Shabby Tea Room challenge. 

"Classic Elegance" 

And The Play Date Cafe's color splash challenge.

I'm also entering this in Get Sketchy's 77th challenge.

Luxurious Birthday

This card speaks to my girlish fantasies of  vintage lace, pink, sparkle, and feminine glamor.

I kind of love it.

I was really inspired by the colors and the color board at CR84FN. Just look at this...If I had an extra house I might decorate it only in this color scheme. So elegant and feminine.

***Please use the 3 named colors as your MAIN colors.*

I used the sketch from Get Sketchy for my layout. 

I layered different sizes and types of doilies on top of each other for the layered circles of the sketch.

Chocolate Love

 Whats with me and chocolate lately? I'm not sure but this chocolate thing is not limited to papercrafting, last week when I was grocery shopping I bought a bag of Toffee and Almond Nuggets and guess what, they are gone. Yikes!

So this card came pretty naturally to me....;o)

It was inspired by this picture at The Shabby Tea Room

   

The challenge also included the use of hearts.

What a cute  set in the photo! I love wooden play food...my kids have a whole arsenal of Melissa and Doug play food. But be aware that wooden toys are heavy weapons. I've kissed a few boo-boos inflicted by some of these toys. My kids' favorite set is the Melissa and Doug donuts. I'll let you in on a little secret...I mostly buy these because I love them (shhh)..

I had such a hard time picking my favorite pictures of this card, so you get a few more than usual. I am a little picture-happy in general, I think. When I look at other people's blogs I just enjoy looking at the pictures the most. A lot of the time I will click on the photo to enlarge it, I love taking in all those tiny details that make the project. 

 The above picture shows the dimension on the card, thats so hard to capture with a straight on shot. I used pop dots to adhere the tag, and then also  to adhere the chocolate yumminess. 

I used Martha Stewart clear glitter on the cakes and chocolate. It reminds me of sugar. 

 I used the Get Sketchy sketch# 73 for the layout, again. Fun Fun. 

Butterflies should fly.

I made this card for a couple of challenges.

 The colors are from The Play Date Cafe

Let me tell you that was not an easy color combination for me. I did find some papers from the DCWV Mariposa stack that worked though. I love using patterned papers. A lot of the time when I make a card, I start with picking out patterned papers in the colors I need first. 

The layout comes from a Get Sketchy sketch for this week.

That one was also a challenge... So I decided to combine them. (what?)

Right before I went to take pictures of this card, my almost 2 year old son decided to "play" with the butterflies. All the butterflies were off the card, and he had torn one right down the middle...He was making them fly (AKA Throwing them in the air)...What a goober. lol. Well I got them glued back together, but he left his mark. 

Do I sound super whiney, or what?  I don't mean to. But its all snowy outside too. Yuk.

I promise my next hope will be so cheerful it'll induce smiles. 

Cupid cupid

Its my first time playing over at the Color Cue, I love this color combination and I this color combo, I could make cards with this combo forever!

I used my cricut to cut out the little cupid. I had fun layering the different pattern papers too.

 I used this sketch from Get Sketchy as  inspiration

I also entered this card in Crazy4Challenges72, this weeks challenge was to create something shabby chic.
