Ha Ha snuck away to play!

I had a few minutes tonight so I thought I'd play along with the Hambo Hoedown Challenge. This week we were given the image of a basket full of hearts and a sentiment. The challenge was to use it along with flowers and lace. Since it said we could do any project, here is what I did.....

When I first printed the digi the size reminded me of those cards you get when you buy flowers. So I made some flowers out of paper, crochet, brads, and my big shot. The lace is wrapped around the bottom with a heart charm. I used a recycled can for the vase and wrapped it in designer paper. To hide the inside of the can I cut and rolled some green paper to look like grass. The hearts in the 'card' are sparkled and coloured in different shades of pink. I then wrote 'love ya mom' in pink ink. Since becoming a mom I don't see my mom that often on Mother's day,so I dedicate this virtual flower bouquet to her. (ps mom if your reading this, I love ya bunches)
Off to bed, have a great night!

Last post for today....unless I can sneak away later-lol

Another post for a Stamping Vacation Challenge! This one is called White space-attach a brad. This was a really quick card. The brad is in the center of the follower (from Basic Grey)
Have a great week!

Ribbon over lace

This digi image is from the TLC blog. Paulette is so generous with her freebies, but she also has some wonderful things in her store too. I made this card for the Stamping Vacation challenge called : Have you tried it? -ribbon over lace.
It's the royal wedding week, so perhaps that is what inspired me. I think this could be used as a wedding card or perhaps a shower card? The brown ribbon is laid over the lace. As you can see in this photo, the ribbon pushes up the image. I think I need to use a stronger glue to hold it down-or use pop up dots.I added glitter to the angels wings and a portion of the hearts :)

Grizzly Adams who?

The challenge at Stamping Vacation, due May 22nd, is called Watch this!-use the tv show Grizzly Adams as your inspiration. Ok, I'm in my late 30's and although I have heard of the show, I have never watched it. Have you? I assume it has something to do with a bear-lol. Anywho, here is an invitation card I made with a grizzly on it. Stamps used are from SU. Enjoy!

Bloom, a card for a gardener

The challenge at Stamping Vacation is : To Who? -make a card for someone who recently planted a garden. I think this card, which I cased from a SU swap, is great. The inside comes out so you can add some lovely words. It could actually work for many things, for example, there is enough room to even add a seed packet for someone starting a new garden. Here is my card:

You have 2 weeks left to play along! Have a great day.

Animal Applause-caterpillar

I was inspired to make this cute card for my daughter. This morning she jumped into my bed and gave me a big hug. But, she would not let go. "Sing mommy, sing." is what she said. Our favourite song to sing is 'you are my sunshine'. This song totally reflects how I feel about her, she (much like her daddy) can make me giggle even if I have tears streaming down my face. She truly is my sunshine :) Anywho, enough about the sappy stuff-lol. The challenge at Stamping Vacation is Animal Applause-use any animal associated with a cocoon. Here is my card:

I have to go back and reattach some of my words as my daughter was picking at it already-lol. The image is from Melonheadz. Thanks for looking!

No! No! Challenge with Trendy Trees

It's another fun challenge over at Stamping Vacation called No!No!-no using black ink . I have really enjoyed doing the challenges at this blog since it challenges me to think outside my usual box. For example I print all my digis in black ink, and stamp all my rubber in black ink. So what was I going to do? Here is what I came up with:

All images are from SU. Hop on over to Stamping Vacation and play you have 10 days left!
