All Things!



Happy Sunday!  I had a moment to play in my crafty space today.  I need a card for a  friend who is getting ready to have knee surgery.  I am using this week's MOJO Sketch(MOJO315)!

For my card I am using Verve's  Philippians 4:13 Plain Jane and Curvy Cross Plain Jane. 
I am also using Verve's Cut Above Scalloped Trim Trio die set.    I finished my card with a seam binding bow using Verve's Spring Fling Ribbon in Sunshine.  


As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Together Forever! Crazy 4 Challenges and a MIM!







Happy Saturday!    It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenge with the Crazies!   Check out the C4C blog for more challenge details at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C208).  



This week's challenge
  is to use the Sketch & Inspiration Colors 
below to create a WEDDING CARD!





For my card I am using Papertrey Ink products.  
I started with rustic white card stock which has become my go to paper for the past several months.  Not a crisp white and not a true vintage cream.  Just a soft color with a bit of rustic charm.  Love it!   I added Pretty Pastels pattern paper in the aqua.  I combined with Delightful Doilies set and dies, Half & Half set and dies, Meadow Greens set and dies, Sending My Love stamp set, Limit Layers: Hearts die, Together Word die, and Birds & Bloom die collection.   I gravitate to the B die in this collection often to finish off a project with a little circular touch of detail as I did with this card.   I am playing along with this week's Make It Monday #136.  Textured Stamping.  I swiped my Meadow Leaves to add some subtle texture which I feel creates a bit of movement with these particular leaves.

For my card I am using Verve's Borderline and newly released Birthday Bots stamp sets along with Verve's Cut Above Mini Bookplate die.  Who said robots are for boys?  For a more girly robot I opted for some sparkle and bling.  I added some silver glitter with a quickie glue pen.   I combined some patterned papers, added some stitching, and finished it all off with a pink seam binding bow topped with a button.   I am using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch (Mojo314).

Welcome!  If you just got here from Amy's blog you are in the right spot.  For my card I am using Verve's Shining Star and Wishful Elegance stamp sets.  I combined these sets with Verve's Cut Above Scalloped Trim Trio (stars) die and the newly released Award Banner Trim dies. 
I added some sewing machine stitching mixed with some fun pattern papers and a few touches of glitter for added star sparkle.

As always thanks so much for hopping by!  Next on the hop is Jessica!
