I made a wall hanging for you today (using 12 x 12 Decorative Sheet Style A) with a quote that I made up myself. It's sort of my life motto.I adhered the patterned paper using GlueGlider PRO+®.

Here are some close up photos so you can see more details. I inked the Chipboard Alphabet- Stylish with white pigment ink.

I used tons of Want2Scrap and Melissa Frances products on this. I highlighted the word "God" with the Swirls, Finesse - White Pearls - 2 Pack - Self Adhesive and a bird resin which, along with the flowers and letters, was attached using Adhesive Squares™ Brand Adhesives-PermaTac.

It's hard to see, but I used the Silhouette - Lady with Flowers as a stencil and sprayed with Clearsnap Smooch Spritz Spun Sugar  to capture its shape and create this subtle background for the Chipboard Charlies Birdcage Silhouette.

Card for Papa

Happy Wednesday, friends. We're trying to recover from the sickies this week and I hope the worst is over. My poor girls haven't been able to keep anything down.

My card today is for a very special man, my Father-in-Law, whom my girls call Papa. He's a big GA Bulldog fan, so I had to use the Red and Black color combo. The phone and sentiment are from TCM's For My Dad stamp set. The border is Spellbinders Fleur de lis Accents dies. 

The papers are by Prima. I love ribbon and don't always feel they look good on a masculine card, so I came up with this. The Scortape comes in hand making this bow.

I have two hops coming up this weekend. My project on Friday is something that is not a card and I'm staring at it while I type this :). In the meantime, check out the Want2Scrap blog for more info on their hop with GlueArts. Want2Scrap is giving FIVE $20 gift certificates to their store. Enjoy your day!

Crafty Friends' Vintage Tag and Winners!

What a fun release The Craft's Meow just had. Have you checked out the new stamps? I think this was my favorite release so far. There's so much versatility and I enjoyed using them all.

Today, I have a tag for you that I created for the Crafty Friends Challenge, which is to make anything but a card. I enjoyed making this tag and should do it more often. I used my TCM's Fly Free stamp for this.

The papers are My Mind's Eye. The little sticker sentiment is Cosmo Cricket.

Please check out the rest of the CFC's ladies and see what fabulous on-cards they created for this challenge.

The Craft's Meow's May Release Blog Hop

Hi, crafty friends! I hope you have enjoyed the previews The Craft's Meow team has been showing the last few days. If you came from my friend, Michelle Bertuzzi's, blog, then you are at the right spot. Please check the TCM blog for the list of participants.

The release is finally here that includes two sets by me. Flower Garden and Sew Lovely. For my project today, I made a card set that uses many of the new sets. The first two are the more feminine ones. I stamped several images from the  Flower Garden set to create a colorful background on a 4" x 5.5" white cardstock. I then cut it in half and used them on two cards.

I used a sentiment from Sew Lovely on this one. The patterned papers are from scraps I had laying around. 

This one uses a sentiment from Typically Teen set.

Here's a close up of the butterfly embellished with buttons.

I also made two masculine cards using the same concept. I stamped the borders from Retro Foundations using inks that coordinate with my card set.

This sentiment is from Dads & Grads. Because they're meant to be masculine, I didn't put the butterflies, but big buttons instead.

This sentiment is from Typically Teen. Twine in coordinating colors are perfect for this card set.

Here are the new sets by me that are now available in The Craft's Meow store.

Flower Garden

 Sew Happy

Sew Happy coordinates with my Spellbinders Licensed Design, Sewing Elements dies.

I am the last stop on the hop. Don't forget to comment here and everybody's blog for a chance to win the new stamp sets! And if you want more opportunities to win prizes, my NinaB Designs blog hop giveaway ends tonight. I will announce the winners tomorrow!
