1995 Playing with Mom's Easter Decorations

I made this for ScrapFit challenge 18!  The instructions were to use Jillibean Soup. Check.  You were not to have a title. Check.  This was fun!

All of the patterned paper is Jillibean Soup.

Cardstock was DCWV.

Jewel in sun is Kaisercraft.

Grommets are We R Memory Keepers.


 I thought I had the two pages together on one "line" but when I posted it, they separated. One of these days, I will figure out how to take a GOOD picture of a 2 pager, but until then...

Wedding Time -- You Made It!

I made this card for my cousin Ted's first marriage. When you consider that he is going to turn 44 the day after his wedding, you can see how it fits the http://www.couturecardstock.com/blog/ to celebrate a milestone!  This card uses their wedding colors! Solid blue is vellum. Print is flocked Anna Griffin. Flower is 8 layers of vellum flowers that I cut with my Sizzix.  There is a Kaiserkraft diamond jewel in the center! Thanks for looking I hope you enjoy it!

scrapFIT Challenge

I had a lot of fun with this challenge! I blog hopped this morning, and I was immediately excited to spend part of my day off from work creating this beautiful layout! I used all of the required elements set out by all of the lovely FIT girls!  I loved the ideas they presented! It was fun to make the paper flowers and also use the lovely butterflies along with the other elements. How can you go wrong with pink and green?! Hope you can see the details well enough! Some of the butterflies have Tim Holtz crackle paint and the others were on glossy paper which was first inked and then salted and left to dry to create a cool look!

Hope you enjoy this layout!

UPDATE:  I ended up being the winner of the Blog Hop! What fun!

"Moxie Fab World Challenge: Diggin' on Doilies & Lace"

Moxie Fab World had a cool challenge.  I used red floss to sew my doilies to my card  I thought the addition of the diamond Kaiser jewels in the lower left added a modern touch to the card.  Butterfly and Red hearts have a little silver shine added. Hope you enjoy it!

CPS 157 - Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger - Lovely on Green - Stamp Something

I was inspired by Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger : Lovely on Green to create the card for CPS's Sketch 157 and vice versa.  I loved the gingham on the chairs on the Moxie blog.  It made me think more of St. Patrick's Day than anything else (probably because it is coming up soon).  I also thought it would go perfectly with CPS's challenge this week and Stamp Something's challenge.  I normally don't combine challenges, but this one seemed to fit.   Hope you enjoy it!
