HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM

It was my mom's birthday last week and this is the card that I made for her. This is also another sneak peek from our upcoming catalog, using another design from our Gardenhouse Gala DSP. I really am loving this new DSP and seem to want to use it for everything! I used one of our new core colors Daffodil Delight {I really like this shade of yellow} for the base of my card and added some of our new 1/8" marina taffeta ribbon. This card made for a very quick and simple card.

Supplies:

Paper: Daffodil Delight, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Gardenhouse Gala DSP

Stamp Set: Short & Sweet

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: Trio Flower Punch, Modern Label Punch, Corner tag Punch, Marina Mist 1/8" taffeta ribbon

KING OF THE GRILL

Here is one of the father's day cards that I made for one the men in my life, this one went to my father in law. I'm a pretty lucky girl he's the BEST! We had a really great father's day, I hope that you all did too! Unfortunately my card didn't photograph as well as I would have liked, it's a bit on the dark side. I had fun coloring in my grill guy, I find that I don't use a lot of stamp sets that require coloring so this was a nice change. I'm going to run off now to enjoy this weather, until tomorrow. Have a great day!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Today we are all honoring our fathers. So I thought I would share a father /son scrapbook page that I made using our MDS {my digital scrapbooking} I used this particular page for a calendar I made. I thought what better place to use this than for the month of June. I really love watching our son playing with his daddy and capturing those candid pictures. Well I'm off to spend the day with my favorite boys but I leave you with this poem that I came across and liked. Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Dad's, you are all so very special!

God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree,The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea,The generous soul of nature,The comforting arm of night,The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight,The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed,The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need,Then God combined these qualities,When there was nothing more to add,He knew His masterpiece was complete,And so,
He called it ... Dad

CELEBRATE YOU!

Morning, looks like it is going to be a beautiful day today! I sure hope we continue to have this great weather, I'm ready to put all the winter clothes away for a while. I recently made this card for a fellow stamper and friend of mine, Alyssa! I had seen a birthday card similar to this in the grocery store the other day and thought I'm sure it wouldn't be to difficult to create a card like that, so that evening that's what I did. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to achieve the pom pom look on the top without having to buy them, so I decided to punch a 1" circle and crumbled it up over, and over again and started peeling apart the layers of the paper and voila I had my pom pom! I was pretty happy with the way it came out, I think I'm going to have to do another one using our Island Oasis DSP that I love so much. Drop me a line and let me know what you think! Enjoy your day!

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Bermuda Bay, Thoroughly Moderns DSP

WISH BIG!

This card was inspired by a sketch challenge I recently ran across, unfortunately I don't remember where. I didn't enter this card in the challenge, but I've definitely been having fun using them for new card ideas!

Do you ever need a idea for a new layout or color inspiration? Just look around you, you can find color inspiration in your home, maybe a bed spread or a decorative pillow might have a color combo that you never thought to use! A fashion or decorator magazine {my go to seems to be anything pottery barn} they are full of color combo ideas. Maybe your grocery shopping, and you take a peek at their cards and get ideas of new layouts, it's amazing how much inspiration you can be found all around you! Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Paper: Island Oasis DSP {summer mini}, Rose Red, Tempting turquoise, So Saffron

Stamp Set: Short & Sweet

Ink: Tempting Turquoise
