Serene Butterfly Card

With all the chaos of the school year ending and vacations starting, I feel like I am worn down.  I am desperately seeking some peace, quiet, and serenity. Unfortunately with summer vacation and 3 bored kids that doesn't happen much. Wouldn't you just love to be this butterfly sitting on a gorgeous flower?

Today I am sharing this card not only with my readers but the readers at 3 Girl JAM.

This card is a 4 by 4 square card.  The image is from Northwoods and it was colored with Copics.  Of course no card is complete without 3GJ Crinkle Ribbon in Ice Blue from the Hot and Cold Bundle.

Have a creative day and I will be back Friday with another project!

Grunge Thank You Tag

Tonight I had fun getting out paints and stains for this project.  This week at Pink By Design Blog, there is a challenge for "Thank You" themed creations.  I took this Maya Road acrylic shape and using my Vagabond and a Sizzix embossing folder, I gave the frosted plain tag a kick.  I then used layers of Staz-On to create a base.  Then I used the Distress Paints to add some opacity.  My final step was to brush some Distress Crackle paint in Antique Brass sparingly.

I tied a simple bow with 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon and made a tag stamped with "Thank You" from Pink By Design Fresh Goodies.

If you would like to join in the link up is below or you can stop over at the Pink By Design blog and see more inspiration from this week and link up. Have a great weekend! I am going to a crop so hopefull I will have lots of projects to share in the coming weeks.

Pink By Design Thank You Challenge

This week at Pink By Design, we are challenging readers to make "Thank You" items.

Each Wednesday we focus on a tip or technique.  This week our tip is to think outside the craftroom and inside the office for supplies.  I used a binder clip on my card.  The sentiment is from Pink By Design.  The ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam.  The paper is from Girls Paperie.

Now head on over to Pink By Design's blog for more inspiration and to link up to the challenge that ends on Saturday night.

Sweet Girl Layout

I just love scrapping my nieces' pictures.  I have three boys so I don't get to use flowers and pink very often.  Today I am sharing not only with my readers but also the readers at She's A Sassy Lady.

This double layout was made for a class kit I made for Remember This in Gardner, Kansas.  I used Sweet Girl Echo Park paper.  The cuts are all made on the Cameo using Silhouette files.

The photo editing for the strip was done online with PIXLR Express.  I love using that site for my collage and photo strips.

The "LOVE" tiles are Thickers. I used seam binding for the ribbon on the side of the pictures. Washi Tape was placed on the bottom of the sheets.

I love mixing these patterns up! The large polka dots are my favorite!

I hope you liked my layout.  As always thank you for taking the time to comment and subscribe to my blog! Tomorrow I will be back with a project for Pink By Design!
