Here's another card I made when I was working on the Divas' challenge!! It's almost the same as yesterday's card, but a tad bit different!! I used the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set for the sentiment. Then I just simply tied the 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain around the card!!!

And, here's my card:

Good afternoon!!! What a great weekend we're having!!! Busy,busy, busy, but all good!! I started with my Sweet Stems class yesterday, then spent awhile playing with my son's new dwarf hamsters, then a bday party and a Little League game! Today was an early day--8am baseball game!! We were out of the house by 6:30am!! But, it was fun--they won, and Cameron even had a couple of good hits! The boys are at a Mid-high Youth lunch now, then we're off for another baseball game. Then, we'll all crash!!! haha!!
On to the stamping! This is the card I made for Anna's birthday yesterday! I think my son was a little embarassed to take it--it's was kinda pink!! haha!!
I used the Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit, and the sentiment is from the "It's Your Birthday" set!
And, here's the inside:
I was finishing up the samples for my Scrapbooking In & Out of the Box class, coming up on May 9! If you'd like to come, click HERE to register! (yes, there is a "class by mail" option!) Registration ends on April 28, so don't delay!!!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!!!
It's time for another Sketchy Saturday!! As always, you can see the sketch at the Divas' Blog! And, here's my card:
I just love this color combo!!! I keep going back to it!!! Real Red and Old Olive!! And, for some reason, Heartfelt Thanks has become my "go to" stamp set lately!! It's so pretty, and very easy to work with!! Love it!!!
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!! Can you believe it's already the last weekend of April?!!
ood morning!!! I hope this finds you all enjoying the sunny weather!! Well, at least here in the beautiful southwest!! It's not even windy yet!! woohoo!!
Here's a box I made awhile ago, and just never shared with you!!
I used the hostess set "A Little Somethin'" for the tag, and the box itself is made with the Parisian Breeze Specialty paper. It's as thick and sturdy as cardstock and is perfect for our die cut boxes!!!
Don't forget to check out my retired stamps list!! They'll be available until April 30th!!
Have a great day!!
Good morning!!! Our challenge this Wednesday is a color challenge: Black, White, Vanilla and Gray!!! It was much easier than I had anticipated!!
I used the Echoes of Kindness Stamp Set and Walk in the Park Designer Paper. The ribbons are actually three layered: 5/8" White Grosgrain, Gray Taffeta and 3/8" Black grosgrain!! It looks so good in real life!!
The flower was stamped with Black Stazon, then watercolored using an Aquapainter and the Gray watercolor crayon from the Neutrals.
I really like this card!!!
You can see the challenge on the DCBD blog!
