Lets Go Tropical

I decide to do a little something different this time. I was visiting the Mojo Monday Blog and I decided to give one of the layouts a try. This was the layout this week.


This got me motivated to work on the challenge that was going on at H2H. The challenge is to create something tropical. Here is what I made to share with all of you.


To create this card I used the following products (all CTMH  unless noted) :
  • Surf's Up paper packet
  • stamp set included in the Surf's Up Workshop on the Go
  • Dream Pop paper packet(no longer available)
  • Cricut Artiste
  • Chocolate, Outdoor Denim and Sunset stamp pads
  • Adhesive Gems
  • Burlap trim(Michaels)
Be sure to check out H2H and Mojo Monday to see all the other creative ladies work. It is very inspirational and motivating.

Jenna's Wedding Invitations

Just wanted to share the latest wedding invitations that I had the pleasure of creating for the bride to be. All my invitations are hand made and were created specifically for the bride.



I wanted to share these invitations as an introduction to what it means to be home made.  The technique used for these flowers was one I had learned a long time ago. To help make these flowers really stand out and still compliment the shimmer pocket design, I chose a deeper color lilac to ink the edges of the petals.


After cutting and inking each petal for the flowers, each petal was folded to create 120 flowers. To top them off, I added some bling to make them just for Jenna. With a few steps in between, the final outcome was Jenna's wedding invitations.

National Scrapbooking Month

Hello All :)
The sun is shining and I have all the windows open in the house. I just love this time of year. It really has me in the creative mood, so I sat down and starting creating with CTMH "Dream Pop" paper packet. It is just wonderful! Here are a couple cards that I whipped up so far.




There are so many options with this paper. As graduation season is upon us, this paper would work great to create a card for that special graduate in your life. There are 6 double sided patterned papers and 6 different colors of resist cardstock. This allows for so many options. This paper packet is only available during the month of May from CTMH. You can get your very own for only $10! If you would like more information on this, leave a comment and I would be happy to assist you. You can also visit http://accreations.ctmh.com where you can find more information on this awesome deal.


Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful weather too!

  • Glamour lowercase and Trinity alphabet stamp sets
  • Olive bakers twine

Hard Challenge

Hello all! Thought I would share with you real quick what I made for the challenge on Heart 2 Heart this week. The challenge, Clean And Simple. Well, this challenge for me was NOT simple! Ha. I am usually one to just pile in the detail when it comes to making cards, so when I had to make it simple, lets just say it took me a bit to get it together.



I used the surf's up paper packet for this weeks challenge. This paper is one of my favorites because I absolutely love going to the beach. The paper yo-yo I used is from the Surf's up assortment and I added a touch of sparkle by using the Bitty Sparkles. I used Versa Mark to stamp my saying and then sponged ink over it with CTMH lagoon and chocolate ink.

Make sure you check out the Heart 2 Heart blog this week to see what others have created.

Tags

This weeks challenge over at Heart 2 Heart is tags. I love, love LOVE making cards, so here is my card with a tag.



I just love how this tag fits into the little brown paper bag. It was a perfect embellishment for a masculine card. I am still hooked on the Chantilly paper packet! It is so versatile that I can make girly cards or masculine cards with it.


I simply stamped our friends name on the tag, so that if his wife chooses, she can reuse the tag! You should now head over to H2H and see what other creative things are being crafted!
