TLC 178 on SCS

TLC 178. I used Cloud 9 Design Epoxy Brads that Lauraly sent me in blog candy because I couldn't fit 3 butterflies on. i also took the guide off my Wrought Iron Punch to make the bottom piece because I couldn't find my slit punch and my corner rounder broke! This is my first time doing this technique and I loved it! I don't have little, little ones anymore so I wet a paper towel. I'll have to pick up wipes next time I'm out.

Rockabella plays a special tune for SUSIESTAMPALOT at SCS

The challenge was to CASE SUSIESTAMPSALOT at SCS today. I chose this card. I thought the layout was way cute. I took the easy route and used PTI papers and ribbon. They coordinate so beautifully. I got this Bella image from blog candy over at Laurie Schmidlen's Thanks, Laurie!

I got the cute letter circles for the sentiment one day at Target's dollar spot I think. I bought it hoping they'd come in handy and I think they did! I love how the card came out.

Hope your weekend was great! It's incredibly hot here but we've had clear skies. I did some stamping with an SU club this weekend which was incredibly fun! I'll have to share those another time. My family (brother, sister, and sig. others) were here this weekend. We barbecued, swam in the pool and laughed as we always do. I love my siblings to pieces! I wish everyone was here regularly! HOpe you all have a great Monday!

Kwerner color inspiration 16 second attempt

Here's another try using So Very by SU. Hope you like it!

Kwernercolorchallenge15

This is an example of me wanting to combine an uninked set wit a color challenge. It definately does not always work (as in this case). The card seems garish to me in contrast with the inspiration piece.

Back to the drawing board!

On a brighter side, I got some wonderful candy from Laurie (Laurely on SCS). She packed the goodies full and included some GORGEOUS cards. Click on her name to get to her amazing blog!

Sympathy Cards

I had to make 2 sympathy cards this week: 2 too many. I try to keep them super simple. The first uses Sahara Sand with Versamark and an Old Olive ribbon. The sentiment is stamped inside with Old Olive.

The second card uses a butterfly punch, Take a Bough, and Cuttlebug embossing folder and die. I added some bling to the butterfly for interest, but tried to keep it all simple.

BILs Birthday

I needed a card for my BIL, so what better set than SUs Birthday Whimsy? I have barely used it, so I thought I'd ink it up with Tempting Turquoise, Chocolate Chip and a little Orange/Pumpkin. I popped up the middle panel to add texture. I left my mess in the background. Look familiar to anyone?

My Brother-In-Law is such a wonderful guy. We are lucky to have him in our family. Actually I feel like that about all of my in-laws. How awesome is that? I don't hear that from friends too often.

Hope ya'll had a good weekend. We saw Journey to the Center of the Earth and hung out by the pool. The movie was lots of fun with lots of 3-D action. The pups got to go out fishing with DH and had a blast. Have a good Monday!

Shout out from Tegan

Tegan featured me on her blog! That's a total first for me, and I'm so excited that she liked my cards! Anyway, check out her cute blog here

Here's a cute pic of D last summer at the beach. She's growing up so fast and I'm ready to put the brakes on!
