You Are My World

Happy Sunday!  Today I am super excited to share my card with you!  As a paper hoarder I love the loads of paper that arrive at scrapbook stores after CHA.  Friday I managed to pick up one of the new Six by Six (Vanity Fair) by My Mind's Eye and actually put it to use immediately for today's card.

Isn't that paper gorgeous?!  And of course that little gem of a girl, Being Cute Is What I Do:

 
This week's challenge at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog is our amazing Sundae Bar where you get to pick your favorite toppings!  You just need to use at least two of: green, buttons, banners, and/or twine.  I've used buttons and twine on my card.  The layout is this week's sketch for My Favorite Things and the card is for my darling husband who tolerates all my crafting as best as can be expected!

Thank you for looking!  I look forward to seeing your favorite toppings from our Sundae Bar on Paper Sundaes!

Lea and Lucy

After spending Friday evening playing with Christine, I have two cards to share.  Both cards are featuring one of my favorite stamp companies, Paper Makeup Stamps!  Not only is Katie always so cheerful to deal with when placing orders, but the red rubber always stamps so beautifully - even without mounting!  (I know - shocking!)  Of course if you prefer, Katie offers an amazing selection of digi images which 'stamp' perfectly every time!

Right now Paper Makeup Stamps is looking for design team members for their new digi challenge blog starting up in September!  Read all about the DT call here!

My first card is following the layout at Cupcake Craft Challenge using Lea:

With the bright colours and the crazy stitching, I decided to skip any embellishments:

I followed the same layout on the inside of the card:

My second card features the adorable Lucy Mouse:

For this card I've followed the layout at Sketch and Stash.  The beautiful bow was created with my new Bow Easy from Stamp and Create.

Thank you for looking!  Join me tomorrow for Paper Sundaes' Challenge!

Simply Bronto

Happy Thursday!  I'm joining in on the fun at Paper Sundaes Challenge Blog late this week.  Darling hubby and I took the two little monsters camping up by Lac La Biche, Alberta.  Wow is the campground amazing!  I managed to colour this gorgeous little dinosaur, Bronto, from Paper Makeup Stamps:

The challenge this week at Paper Sundaes is "Just saying hi".  Keeping it simple, I used chipboard letters for my sentiment and popped them up with foam squares I cut smaller to fit more discretely behind the letters.

The papers are from my stash - a fantastic line from Little Yellow Bicycle for the boys in your life, Generation Z.

Thank you for looking!

 

Ally Welcomes a New Baby Girl

Welcome to my little stop on the Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop!  If you have arrived here from Randee's blog, then you are on the right track, otherwise hop on over to Paper Makeup Stamps Blog for all the details of today's blog hop.

Thursday was a day of special blessing as a friend with two sons, welcomed a beautiful baby girl!  To celebrate, I wanted to create a special card - feminine with lace and flowers.  As this month's hop is all about the older PMS releases, I decided to use Ally:

I have paired up Ally with the sentiment a dream is a wish your heart makes as I know my friend was hoping for a little girl to balance out all the boys in the house.  The layout is from The Sweet Stop.

I simplified the basic layout for the inside of the card and typed a congratulations message on the computer.

Your next stop on the blog hop is Stephanie.  Thank you for looking!
