A couple of Mother's Day cards

 I know its past Mother's Day, but I wanted to show you a little something I made for my sisters who are mommies. 

I all started with 7 brown bananas and some time to kill before going out to a late movie. Dun dun dun...

And then an adorable stamp set 'Everyday Treats' from Papertrey Ink....

And then there was the Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen Paper....

AND a perfect Mother's Day stamp set from Crafty Secrets...

So I made these cards with matching tags for the banana bread. I love the color combo SOOO much. So much, that my house is decorated in these colors... :o) 

Ruffles

Hi friends! I'm here again to help inspire you for this week's Shabby Tea Room challenge. I am this week's host and I thought it would be fun to use RUFFLES on your card or project! I found this delicious photo and went from there.... you don't have to use the colors in the inspiration photo, just the ruffles...but that cake looks amazing! 

(sorry for the awful picture, the light and my camera were not cooperating)

For this card I used a digi stamp (Happy Mother's Day Sentiment) by this week's sponsor- Digital Delights by Louby Lou.

Also I finally got my hands on some Melissa Frances 5th Avenue paper and had to use it right away, I seriously love that collection.

The Shabby Girls have some beautiful things to show you, so make sure to stop by their blogs too!

A couple of jars

 I used PTI Friendship Jars and additions, one of my favorite stamp sets ever, to make these two simple cards

.

This first one uses the marbles? or bubblegum? or candy? and jar from PTI and a noteblock stamp from Purple Onion Stamps. The papers are from October Afternoon- I love them.

I'm entering this first card in the Off the Wall Craftiness color challenge. How could I not be inspired by such a beautiful collage of photos? Oh how I love vintage...and the idea of vintage fairs and carnivals and parties that I get from this color board. (Okay IRL fairs and carnivals are stinky)

 

This card uses the PTI Jar and pickles, and Melissa Frances Kitschy Kitchen papers. This is my FIRST ever attempt at paper piecing. It was fun, I might (maybe just might) do it again...hah

I entered this card over at Moxie Fab World for their paper piecing challenge.
