City Crafter Challenge

The City Crafter Challenge this week is to use Red, White, Blue + Rose. Also talked about was England. So I put England together with rose to come up with the seed packet idea. The big pink roses look like English roses.
The papers are Kaisercraft and I've had that paper for quite some time. I tend to buy papers that I really like and then it might be years before I actually get around to using it. That's one reason these City Crafter challenges are so good for me. I've been looking through my stash to satisfy the challenge. I had just enough blue crinkle ribbon, have to make some more. Well, it's Monday morning...off to work...hope you have a wonderful week!

You're Sew Lovely

I just love the sketches over at the Mojo Monday blog. There's just something a little different about them. I also like that for most of the month they don't do any judging...I can just try to do something fabulous with the sketch and link it up. Having said that, I must say it was great fun going to the Verve website and picking out the stamps I would like for last week's prize! Here's the sketch:

And this is my card:



I used Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl and stamps from Lawn Fawn. They go together so nicely. What do you think?

You're the Cherry on Top

This cherry on top card started as chipboard from the $1 bin at Michaels. I love the shape. I think it's from Mary Englebreit. Added Pink Paislee paper on the cherries and a cute tag with a vintage image cherry.
I made this birthday card for Glen, who is a driver at work.
I used all Jenni Bowlin papers on this one. Love that brown and red combination and of course, that red vintage button. Hope you're having a great start to your weekend!

Cutting Cafe Teapot and a Mojo Win!

Wow! This is my lucky week! This card is a winner over at Mojo Monday! A big thank you to everyone at the Mojo Monday blog.


The Cutting Cafe's new sets, Tea Time and Teapot Shaped Card, are terrific!
The papers are from Girls Paperie. Inside, I used a sentiment from Tea Time: You're my cup of tea. Oops...forgot to take a picture of the inside! The teabags are made from a vintage tea label image from The Graphics Fairy.


Hope everyone's having a nice week...I'm just trying to stay out of the heat!

A Winner at City Crafter Challenge!

How exciting! I just found out that I won last week's challenge at the City Crafter Challenge Blog with this card! Thank you so much to everyone over there...I'm absolutey thrilled! I've enjoyed participating in your challenges. Thank you again!

Mojo Monday

This is a great sketch! Found it over at Mojo Monday, a challenge blog. I'm really happy with this card!
The pretty butterfly is from a digital set at Land of Enchantment.
The papers are My Minds Eye. The pretty shape I used instead of an oval is Spellbinders Labels 4. On the left I used a butterfly stamp from an old Maya Road set. The ink is from Papertrey Ink.

2Sketches4You #56

Hi, everybody! I'm posting a card that's my interpretation of the sketch over at 2Sketches4You this week.
The image is the front of a Portugese postcard. Behind the cute kids, you can see its actual backside (the Portugal part is covered).
Instead of dots, I did a zigzag stitch on my sewing machine.
Look at this fabulous vintage button...I hit the jackpot yesterday!
I bought at least 1000 (maybe more) vintage buttons at a local antique store for a REALLY great price! The papers on this card are old (but still terrific) K&CO. Hope you're having a great Saturday!
