Cute, with Ladybug

Hope you've had a great weekend! I had a request for a cute card with a ladybug. I think this fits the bill! The papers are from My Little Shoebox. I've had the paper for quite sometime. I had almost forgotten about it. I buy paper when I see it, but time is an issue, so...paper often sits around until I can get to it.
The frame is from Tattered Angels (sprayed with Mint Choc Chip Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, then glittered) and the ladybug is Martha Stewart. Thanks for dropping by!

Love that Silhouette!

Hi, everyone! There is still a few more hours to comment on this post to win two free sets from The Cutting Cafe. You can check out that site for more giveaways (just scroll down the main page). I love, LOVE, this silhouette stamp. It's from a retired Stampin' Up set called Vintage Postcard. I also really like the frame around her - it's from American Crafts.
The papers on this card are GCD Studios. The feel of the paper is awesome - like old wallpaper. I stamped pink dots using a background stamp from Papertrey Ink. Added a vintage button, a paper rose, and some of my crinkle ribbon. I hope you've had a great week. I'm ready for the weekend...how about you?

Guest Designer at City Crafter

Wow! How exciting...I'm the guest designer over at City Crafter this week! The challenge: I left my HEART in San Francisco is a fun one! The project has to have hearts of course. I designed a card with a scalloped frame and a heart that's slightly crooked attached to it. The hearts were created with Spellbinders dies. The image is a vintage image I found at a local antique store.
The papers are October Afternoon and Making Memories. The inside stamps are Verve.
The sponsor of this week's prize is: thechipchopshop.etsy.com The prize is $20 to spend at the store. They have some lovely things, like the hand-dyed doilies. A big thank you to Kirsty for inviting me to Guest Design this week, which is a big honor!

Mojo Monday Sketch

I love the sketch at Mojo Monday blog! I couldn't wait to get started. Then I was so busy and went out of town that I just now got to it. I hope I make it in time to link my card. The darling vintage image is from The Vintage Warehouse and the papers are My Minds Eye.
The frame is from Tattered Angels. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Monday!

Cutting Cafe Giveaway

Hi, everyone! This is great - The Cutting Cafe is having a Giveaway! Just leave a comment on this post before August 14th telling me that you would like to win and by random selection you could win TWO Cutting Cafe sets:

Apron Card

From My Kitchen

Check out my project using both of those files. I bought this CHEAP recipe box at Michaels. It was not pretty, but I could see some potential. A friend of mine has been asking for several of my recipes, so I decided to give them to her in style!
I checked out The Cutting Cafe and found just the right sets. Then, I couldn't believe it, but the City Crafter Challenge this week was food! Are we on the same wavelength? I covered the recipe box with cute Bo Bunny papers. Added that great rooster stamp from Basic Grey and die cut a circle stamp from the Cutting Cafe. That cute little boy is a stamp from Crafty Secrets. Then...the fork! I really wanted to use a fork as the handle, but I couldn't figure out how to shape it. We visited my in-laws this weekend and I took my project with me, whined around a very little about the fork, and guess what? A simple project was completed by my husband and father-in-law...a wonderful bent fork with curled prongs for the top of my recipe box! (Worked like a charm!)
The inside divider cards have those wonderful circle stamps from The Cutting Cafe and cute Crafty Secrets stamps.
I decided the apron card was a perfect addition. I wanted it to match, but wanted it simple.
Just added some of my crinkle ribbon and a button and I felt happy! Don't forget toleave a comment to win two sets from The Cutting Cafe - winner will be announced August 14th.

Thank you City Crafter!

A BIG thank you to all the ladies at City Crafter Challenge Blog. I'm so excited that they chose my birthday caledar book (in the previous post) as the winning project for last week's challenge! I loved that challenge... the book was so fun to create. This card is part of the special order for puppy cards.
I think he's so cute pulling those darling puppies in a wagon. The papers are My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon. Hope you have a great day!
