Card Patterns #4

The weather here is so dreary.
High winds with off & on rain.
The girls are bored,
with not much to do,
so they're stuck inside with me:)
We have dinner plans later,
so they'll have a little reprive.
Since there's not much to do,
I've been trying to scrap,
but even that is coming slow.
Amazing how the weather can affect your mood.
Regardless, I did a card using Card Patterns #4.
A simple card using Amy Butler butterflies,
Daisy D rub-on & a K&Co. border topped w/rhinestones.

Hopefully your weekend has been more fun-filled than ours:)
At least we still have Sunday!!

Color Inspiration #43

I bet some of you are saying,
"Thank goodness it's Friday?"
Since I'm a SAHM,
I especially love Fridays
because I don't have to be up early on Saturdays.
Ashlyn is having a sleep-over tonight
& we're going out to dinner w/friends Sat night.
It's going to be a good weekend,
despite the rain & cold we're supposed to get.

I haven't done much scrapping the latter part of this week.
I've been too tired & my mojo went south.
Having said that,
Below is my take on the Color Inspiration #43

This is actually my 2nd card
because I don't like my first one
& will have to make some changes.
I used SEI's Oasis line of papers,
& they really are some gorgeous papers.
It might be hard to see,
but there are some blue stripes
& blue mixed in where the sentiment sits.
I also moved the word "with,"
as I didn't like where I placed it:)

I'm off to play with some new stamps now.
Stamping is definitely not my forte,
but it's something I need to work at it.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

more 2 Sketches 4 U projects

*WARNING ~ PICTURE HEAVY*
As promised,
here is my final project using product from
Creative Cuts and More & the current sketch.
They were more than generous &
I hope you will go visit & see what all they offer.
For this card, I used the Clear Acetate A2 fold card.
Now, I covered the entire card,
so you can't tell it started out clear, but it did.
My intention is to use this as an envie type card.
You will see the band w/flower, ribbon & stick pin
easily slides off & I want to add the words "For You"
on the flower, but haven't found exactly how yet.
I also used a velcro closure,
which I really didn't need, as it has the band.
Laura Craigie (2Sketches Spring DT)
used some Basic Grey magnets.
Either works just great

And that's all for today.
It's a GORGEOUS day today
& I hope you have a very blessed Wednesday.

Card Patterns #2 & #3

Happy Tuesday!!
Anyone attending any Fat Tuesday parades?
Not me..............I'm not a parade type person,
but the weather is perfect for a parade:)
Today I have 2 cards to show,
using sketches from Card Patterns.
This first card uses the Card Patterns #2 sketch.
As if you haven't seen enough of this Making Memories,
I went & bought some rub-ons & the stick pins.
I LOVE this line:)

This card uses the Card Patterns #3 sketch.
I had wanted to make a card using Moxie Fab's
grey & yellow combo, so I finally got around to it!!

That's all I have for today.
I'll be back later this week
with another project for 2Sketches.
Until then, have a blessed day!!

2Sketches 4 U - Lulu's Bonus Sketch

Have you gotten a chance to visit 2Sketches 4 U this week?
If not, I hope you will.
Not only does Laura have a fun sketch,
but the design team did a fabulous job
with product from Creative Cuts and More,
PLUS, Lulu has an awesome sketch. ....
did you see the card she created? WOW!!
So, I have a couple of things to show you.
First is my interpretation of Lulu's sketch.
I decided to use the same scallop card
we received from Creative Cuts and More.
Do you sometimes have a vision of something grande
& then it turns out par to below par?
Ya? That would be this card.
I loved it, until I added the birds & "straps."
The idea was similar to the birds you see
on Cinderella when they're carrying her dress to her.
and I just didn't quite "capture the image."
But I love my dress design,
with the beads on the bodice,
a small string of pearls in the middle
& a lace body.
The birds were cut using the Wedding Marriage cartridge
for the Cricut machine.

I made this next card using Laura's current sketch.
& then realized I forgot to use sponsor product*oops*
But, at least I got another card made:)

And as if that's not enough,
I still have two more cards to show.
Another using more Creative Cuts and More product
& a card using last week's Card Patterns 2 sketch.
Hope you'll come back later this week
& thanks for stopping by!!
But I'll post those later in the week.
