More vintage Easter...

I stayed up entirely too late (early!?) again last night, and here's a card I made during my moonlight crafting.

I was inspired by the color combo at The Play Date Cafe, and all those lovely vintage Easter images at the Graphics Fairy. I thought the image I used went perfectly with those lovely colors.

Well I better run...

Wish me luck, I have to remove a whole bottle of pink nail polish to remove from my bedroom window and window sill. Whoo hoo! Kids, gotta love 'em....

(happy Saturday)

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.

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. 

A splash of purple

Its Play Date Cafe time! 

I really love how this card turned out. That rose stamp from PTI is so pretty and inspiring.

 This might not be a secret but I love using doilies.

This weeks challenge was to use black, white, and a splash of purple. I guess I took the inspiration picture literally.... 

 I colored the rose with Copic markers, I think it has a vintage, worn look. I like it.

Birthday Banner card

I finally broke into my PTI "library ledger" patterned paper....I love love love that aqua polka dot paper. Love it.  I don't know why I dread cutting into paper I love, I mean thats what its for right?

This card was made for one of my favorite challenges, The Play Date Cafe.



Its hard to tell that theres any demention in the straight on picture...

I'm really loving that PTI banner set, its so much fun.
