This week over at the Shoes, we are challenged to be inspired by dear old Dr. Seuss. I decided to use a quote of his on my card and I just love how sweet it is. This quote would be encouraging and inspirational to anyone who received it :)
Other challenges used: The Pink Elephant: Add Green to the Combo; Lexi Creations: Anything Goes
Thanks for visiting!
Here is a quick cutie that I created for my Mother In Law’s birthday, using the Embellish Magazine color inspiration and the Sweet Sunday Sketch! Enjoy!
The Embellish color challenge this week is so perfect for Springy or Easter cards! These colors totally make me think of Mother’s because they are such bright, loving people in our lives — so I couldnt resist using it for my Mother in Laws birthday card! Along with the challenge, you also had to use a border or borders on your project. I simply used my new scalloped edge border punch at the bottom of the card and added a green strip of cardstock on the inside of the card so that it would add to the border. I also included the challenge from Cute Card Tuesday – Ribbon-Tastic. I’m sure you can guess what that means! I simply crossed two ribbons at the same length in an X and adhered to the card. Easy peasy!
I have two wonderful pieces of news to share with you all…
First and foremost, my precious new nephew was born yesterday afternoon– Levi Jett Plaster. He is SO adorable! That makes four handsome nephews for Garrett and I, and we love them dearly. Not to mention the fact that they are great birth control for the time being :) After watching our 2 year old nephew for the last two days (while mom had the baby), we both are very grateful for our free time!
And next, I made the If The Shoe Fits… Scrap It! Design Team! I really applied for this position on a whim because I had just finished my time with Pile It On. I had very few expectations on this one but I am so stoked to have made the team! Looking forward to sharing all of my creations with you all! This week’s challenge was to use the following ad as inspiration in some way. I bet you would have never guessed where my imagination went after first reviewing the ad! I knew exactly what I wanted to go for — Fashion! I have also been wanting to play with hearts lately, so I figured this was my chance (See other challenges used below)! Check out the results!
Other challenges used:
Rainy Day + Babysitting + Valentine Cookies + Frosting = One Great Day!
Today, I got to watch my little nephew, Seth. I had about two hours with him and decided to bake some sugar cookies with him. He absolutely loves cookies (not to mention frosting and sprinkles!), so it was the perfect activity. I couldn’t resist snapping some photos of our little surprise for mom and dad so naturally I needed to share them here too. Enjoy the slideshow! (And check back soon to see them scrapped!)
This week, Die Cuts R Us and Tuesday Taggers challenged us to use our Christmas Leftovers to create. So here are my little Thank you cards that I got from the few small scraps that I had leftover this year! Super simple and fun. I pulled out my border punches and my scalloped circle punch to get the most out of my scraps. The Belli Challenge was to use Rhinstones — and how can you not when you are playing with snowflakes :)
Today we are patiently waiting for my sister in law to have her precious little baby! She was due last Thursday, so as you can imagine, she is getting a little anxious :) Praying for a smooth delivery and healthy mom and baby in the end! There are A LOT of babies coming in to this world this year, not sure I can keep up with them all, but I am surely enjoying all the crafty things I get to do for them!
Have a Happy Monday!
