Get Well Soon

Hello, Friends! I made this card for two challenges. The first challenge is the current JUGS color challenge. It was a challenge for me to even find these colors:) Thankfully I had some scraps in my stash and a great dp with the colors in it.

The second challenge is Crazy 4 Challenge 92 to use twine. I love all the luscious twine colors and plan to use them more often!

For the sketch, I used one of my favorite magazines, "Go to Sketches," Volume One. The sketch is one of Maren's and is on page 38. I'm really happy with it and plan to use it again. The flower panel is popped up for dimension. I added a vintage button that I found at an Antique Flea Market. It was so easy to use because the holes were really large. I hope to find more of them soon:)

I hope that you're enjoying your Sunday! Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there:)

Oh! One more thing....because I'm a teacher I feel the need to say that I know you are supposed to underline the titles of magazines. Can you believe that I can't figure out how to underline text in Blogger? Good thing I don't teach tech:)

Friends with Flair!

Hello! Today's card is based on the April Sketch for You to Try. I just love sketch challenges because they give me an idea to think about and play with. Speaking of love, I LOVE the border stamp that I used from Unity's Jan 11 KOM! The text and the flowers just speak to me. I can't believe that I haven't used it before, but I plan to get it inky again in the near future. I used lots of matting and some cutting with deckle edge scissors to make my card. I cut apart the sentiment so that I could fit it just where I wanted it. Don't you love that twine!?! It's called Cappuccino and you can find it at the Twinery! They have lots of fun colors.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Balloons make every brithday better!

Happy Saturday! I am so thrilled that the sun is out and that I saw my first robin yesterday! There's no denying it, spring is in the air.

I fell in love with this bike and balloons image the minute I saw it in the Feb11 Kit of the Month from Unity! It is such a happy little image. It reminds me of being a kid and getting a bike for my birthday. The saying is so perfect too!! Who couldn't use a few balloons on their birthday, whether they're getting a bike or not??
