Country shabby card

I've been busy doing digital designs and spending most of my free time in front of a computer. It was nice to get away from that and create something with my craft supplies instead of a mouse. :-)

Today's card uses my latest Gina K Designs sets, Grand Damask and Fanciful Tags. The card base is GinaK Kraft, the patterned paper is Fly a Kite by October Afternoon. The lace is from my stash that I bought from a flea market a long time ago. The cream buttons are also GinaK.

Have a happy Thursday!

Thankful for You

This card is for you all, my visitors, who encourage me daily with your uplifting words. Thank you for taking time off your busy lives to visit me, even only in cyberspace :-).

This card is from the Card Patterns' sketch this week:

The delightful swirls and leaves are from our sponsor, Prickly Pear Stamps. The prize is a $25 gift certificate to their store. The sentiment is from two SRM Stickers sets (the word "for" was handwritten). The cardstock is GinaK's Pumpkin Spice and the pretty background paper is from Pink Paislee's brand new Old School collection.

Butterfly Shabby

Today's card is a shabby-fied (I know it's made up, but you know what I mean :-) butterfly using my latest sets, Grand Damask and Fanciful Tags. The damask is stamped with Vivid Straw. The polka dot paper is from the Bright and Grungy Dots digipaper pack. The butterfly is by Martha Stewart.

The Lean On Me Blog Hop is going on. You can start on Gina's blog for more info.

Everyday Girl

Today, the SRM Sticker blog is featuring the Everyday Girl stickers. Here's my feeble attempt at scrapbooking. It's a 6x6 layout with my daughter. The papers are by Bo Bunny.

Here's a close up:

Have a great weekend!

Busy, busy...

...but lots of exciting things going on here that I can't share yet. I've been busy designing and working, in addition to my wife/mom job that I love. I have to hush-hush with all that for now, but there is one exciting thing I can share with you today. ;-)

The Moxie Fab World blog has a new challenge today and Cath featured one of my cards in the Paper Crafts Sep/Oct issue. Go check it out and give it a go. Cath is very generous with her prizes and it's just plain fun.

My card today is from Card Patterns' sketch this week:

And our sponsor is my good friend, JenMarie, who is an Ippity chick. She provided the CP DT with stamps that are so fun to work with. The paper is Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather.
