Beautiful Wings in Pink Pirouette

A friend of mine has a birthday today (Happy Birthday Karla!) and she likes pink, so I had to pull out my Pink Pirouette since it is returning and will be one of ur core colors starting in July 2010. I totally cases a card on Stampin' Connection by Maurita Wilkerson. I changed to pink and added sponging (I tried not to sponge, but just couldn't control myself) I stamped the sentiment in Regal Rose to make it pop more, so thought adding sponging in Regal Rose on the butterflies and around the card tied it all together.

Just Baseball, Tanner's Birthday card

This is the card I made for my grand-son's birthday using the Just Baseball stamp set I received for FREE during Sale-a-bration. I think it turned out kinda cute. The stitching on the panel and the baseball were done free hand.

Flower Fancy Mother Day Resist

When I saw the border that Marie-Josée Trudel in Canada did on a scrapbook page using Flower Fancy and the Resist technique I just knew I had to make a card with the same technique. Her blog is in French but you can view her card here: http://alapause.blogspot.com/2010/01/page-coup-de-coeur.html. Thank you Marie-Josee for your great card and inspiration. As you can see I was a little heavier with the sponging than Denise. We also decided that the Hodgepodge Hardware was a great addition to the card. I think my mom will love it. Now I just had to find the time to make another copy for my sample book.

Mothers Day Frame

I saw a cute frame with three ribbon flowers in the March online extras of the Demonstrator only website. Join my team today and you can also have access to this wonderful resource. Denise and I opted to put only one flower on our frame, then added a photo and sentiment. This project will be part of April's stamp camp. I hope you like it.

Don't you just love these watercolored roses? This beautiful card features the rose from the Fifth Ave Floral stamp set that is on sale this month only for 20% off. The sale ends on April 30th, so order your set today!

My inspiration for this beautiful card layout came from Sandi MacIver, but Denise and I opted to leave the sentiment off the front of the card. We also changed the colors, paper and I used a different punch.

Simply Adorned Chain and Charm

I have been wanting to make one of these charms for quite awhile, but never seemed to have the time. Both of these are cased (copy and shared everything) from samples I saw at leadership and convention, I just changed the color.  So Thursday, when I needed a gift for a friend of mine, I immediately thought of the Simply Adorned. Now that I have made one I will definately have to make one for myself. I really love the way the back turned out and will have to do that again on mine. The really great thing about the Simply Adorned Charms is that they are lockets so you can change the insert to fit your mood, the season, or your outfit. Can you imagine having a necklace to match every outfit you own, and it only taking up the room of a small box. You can even put a picture instead of your stamped art.
