Stitched card :)

The challenge this week at Cricut Cardz is to stitch on your card. I made this card using (my fav) Create a Critter and my My Minds Eye "Lost and Found II" 6x6 pad. I love the pinks!

I stitched my greeting using a Bazzill template. I love the look!

I can't wait to see what you create for this challenge. Stop by Cricut Cardz to link up and see what the rest of the design team created :)

2 Cards :)

I've been working on design team projects that I can't share today - although I'd love too! But I *do* have quick (but cute I think) cards I've made for a few challenges.

First up, inspired by the sketch at Card Positioning Systems:

I flipped the sketch on it's side and used scraps from my *favorite* Authentique's "Uncommon" line. I added a few liquid pearls, too!

Next, is a card inspired by the sketch at Frosted Designs. I just loved the layout and stuck close to it!

I'm just now joining the 21st century and am the owner of a Martha Stewart scoreboard. What did I do without it?? I am addicted to these little rosettes! The Throwback Thursday challenge at My Creative Time (where my "be my valentine" sentiment comes from) is to use a bug, so I've used the cutest little bee from Create a Critter.

I'm also entering this cute at Pumpkin Spice for using "my style" of layering, patterned papers and a die cut for the "love" challenge.

I hope everyone is having a great Saturday! My hubby is taking me to dinner and a movie tonight. I talked him into "The Vow" :)

Mom

My layout "mojo" has been missing this week. So busy at school and everyday life getting in the way of my scrapbooking time :) I did, however, make a clean and simple layout tonight for the Basic Grey sketch challenge:

I used my new "Little Black Dress" papers and embellishments. This is my Mom and I posing at my wedding. It's been a while since I worked on that album! It was a nice change of pace.

TGIF! I hope to make a couple more layouts this weekend :)

Today's the Day! :)

Good morning! I'm so excited that I'm being introduced at Quick Quotes today :) I would love if you stopped over!

Be sure become a follower of the Quick Quotes blog so you can meet the rest of the new design team (they rock!) and not miss any of the new releases from CHA.

Thank you so much Rhonda for inviting me to the Quick Quotes team! :) I'm so honored to be a part of it.

Have a great day everyone! :)

Folded Flower Tutorial :)

It's my turn for a tutorial on The Paper Variety's blog today. I'm showing you how to make a fun folded flower embellishment. Pop over see!

Isn't that pretty? I layered my folded flower onto a die cut doily and added it to my embossed, white card base.  I'm loving the pink, grey, and white color combination.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

I'm also sharing this card at Cardz TV's "think pink" challenge.

Have a great Saturday!! :)

Cards Times Two :)

I created 2 cards tonight using sketches at Cards Positioning Systems:

The first one is a landscape fold card for Valentine's Day :)

I used an awesome calendar stamp set by Jillibean Soup to create my February scallop square, with a brad on the 14th ;) Papers are "Lost & Found: Union Square" by My Minds Eye.

The second card is a portrait style card using this sketch:

I used American Crafts' "Springtime" collection, including a fussy cut flower from their fabric paper. Loved working with that!

I'm also entering this card at Frosted Designs for using twine - that's "Caribbean" from The Twinery! What I wouldn't give to be on the beach right about now ;)

What a week! Glad it's the weekend, how about you?

Flashback Friday

Although the below card makes me cringe, I love the challenges at Flashback Fridays. How fun it is to look back and see how our crafting style has evolved :)

This week's theme is "black and white". I dug through the archives and found this gem:

Circa March 2009.

Yikes.. check out the staples! And... I do love that pop of color, but red and gold with black and white.. really Suzanne?

Things I like:

1. That fabulous camera angle..  just kidding ;)

2. The vellum.. I should break that out again sometime.

3. That I embellished the inside (even with the hideous corner punch lol!)

And the best part.. IT'S FRIDAY! :)

I thought this week would never end lol.
