Let's Scrap Blog Hop

This layout was created with LYB's new spring line. I used Tattered Angel's glimmer mist on the Prima flowers, canvas banner, & Maya Road chipboard arrow to "match" them to the pretty spring papers. I also broke out a punch I purchased a few weeks ago-EK Success flower border. It's really pretty and delicate. Shelley H. took the photos last July.

This was a Valentine's challenge on the hop. Don't tell Mark you've seen his Valentine before him!


Reminisce's newest Graduation line of papers & stickers. Their new papers are printed on heavy cardstock which makes them PERFECT for cards! I love it! Also used a Stampin' Up punch for stars & notebook paper. This challenge had to include a list!

This pretty butterfly came buy last summer, created his/her chrysallis just under our mailbox about 1 ft. from the front door. We watched as it turned from green to black, black to black, sparkly gold, and orange and then emerge. It dried it's wings, hung around for quite a while and finally flew off over our neighbors house. It was a great experience for Julianne & Charlie, although I think I was the one most excited. Bo-bunny papers, Prima flowers, coffee-filter die cut flowers (Tim Holtz die) with Tattered Angel's glimmer mists & other hand made paints (reinkers).

Let's Capture Our Memories Card Challenge

Original LCOM Card Challenge Post: http://letscaptureourmemories.blogspot.com/2011/01/card-sketch-16.html

This was a fun challenge because it made me leave my comfort zone (which could also be called my LAZY zone)! The challenge was to create a card with either stitching or stars. I choose the stitching and created three stitched flowers using a Bazzill template and embroidery floss. I used the Basic Grey Curio paper & sticker line, Prima stems and packaging, Tim Holtz "Love" die & distressing tool, Marvy Uchida punches, EK Success piercing tool to create faux stitching, pop dots, and Xyron adhesive. The completes card measures 5.5x8.5". Thanks for taking a peak at my "Love" card!
