Princess

So Pretty in Pink!

I think every little girl at one time or another dreams of being a princess.  When I think of little girls, I think of the color pink. A pink princess … what could be sweeter?

Oldie but Goodie

If you are like me you have a ton of digi images and have a tendency to use those newest ones when we make our next project.  I’m here to share a couple of “Oldies but Goodies” from Bugaboo stamps.  I combined two images to make this super sweet scene.

It’s tough to see from the photo but I used foam squares on each of the layers to add some dimension and interest to the card.

Bucketful of Sunshine

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday – my kids and hubby do a great job of spoiling me!  I hope your day was equally as nice.

This week we have another new sketch for you to give a try with the twist of using felt.  As you can tell, I opted to not use to the sketch but rather I opted to use the twist to use felt – I love PaperTrey Ink’s felt and I have lots of it but I forget to use it so this challenge was the perfect time for me to pull some of it out.  It was hard to decide which color of felt to go with but my all-time favorite color is blue – so blue it was!

For You…

I made this anniversary card a couple of days ago but I just haven’t had a chance to post it.  It seems by the time I get home from work and do a few things, the evening is over and it is time to go to bed.  I must say I am enjoying the longer daylight hours in the evening, for whatever reason I am so much more production when the sun is shining.

My inspiration for my card came from Lili of the Valley’s BINGO Challenge this month.  To make my BINGO I used ribbon, pearls and flowers.  The past couple of day have been bright and sunny – the temps are even warming up so I chose to use some bright springy colors to dress up these two lovebirds.  Aren’t they just adorable all dressed up in the Sunday’s best?

So Sorry

For your loss.

Not very often I don’t use a stamp of some sort.  I used a variety of dies and different papers for my card – I chose blue as it is my favorite color and I think it is a nice soothing, calming color.

This is one of those cards where the camera just doesn’t capture the beauty of the card – I love all of the texture to this card from the felt doily to all of the die cuts and layers.

It’s sad to say but it seems I never have enough sympathy cards on hand so I decided to take my new Memory Box dies and create a few.  I used the same die but different layouts and color palettes – just goes to show the versatility of these wonderful dies.
