M.I.A

Hello everyone!
Sorry I have been M.I.A! I have just been so out of it lately. The time that the girl's nap is usually when I stamp and post here on my blog, but all I've wanted to do was sleep as well. Today is no different, but I want to make a quick post to show off some cards I made. Here is a card I made for Dawn's challenge. Simple card but I think it's really cute. OK...gotta run!

Feels like summer...

It's hot and sticky in our house right now, which means summer is close by. =)
Unfortunately we don't have air conditioning so the summers can get brutal in our house. Especially last year when it was like 100 degrees for a record number of days. This year though we are determined to get to the beach as much as possible and have the girl's swim in the pool also!! We're excited for Memorial Day coming up, which is officially our beginning to the beach season. We plan on spending the whole weekend at the beach, BBQ-ing, and just hanging out with family and friends.
My card for today is another 2 for 1. I used the sketch from CPS 116 and the color challenge from Kristina's Color Inspiration #52. I don't have any SU! colors so I usually have to just work with what I have. The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket's Ever After line. I just love the colors in their paper. The rest of the paper is a mix of Martha Stewart and Bazzill. The butterfly punches were made with my Martha Stewart punch, love that thing!! The ribbon is PTI and the baubles are from Stamping Bella. The sentiment is from Damask Design stamp set. Have a great day everyone!

Two for one!

Hey everyone!
Hope you're all having a great start to your weekend. I had a blast this afternoon at a tea with my aunt, sister and mom! We had the tea at my aunt's house. We all dressed up and my mom and aunt even made big hats for the tea! We made all the traditional foods, like finger sandwiches, scones, fruit, and some mini quiches. Then we made some fun origami. The card today I made for my aunt to thank her for hosting the tea. I combined both Dawn's color challenge and Jen's sketch. I really love this color combo and the sketch was so fun to do. There are so many different options when it comes to the circles on the sketch. I'll have to try this one again! Well I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Take care and have a great night!

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #68

Yeah for Friday!!! I am so glad it's the weekend. This week completely flew by, I can't believe it. I have plans to go to a tea at my aunt's house tomorrow with my sister and mom, which I think is going to be so much fun! I can't wait. Nothing like some fun girly time, and my husband is nice enough to watch the kids! Bonus!
My card today I made for Taylor's sketch. I'm not completely thrilled with how the card turned out. I think I might have been pushing myself to finish it even though I had no stamping mojo left. =)
Maybe I'll try again later with another card! The patterned paper is the Amy Butler line from K & Company. I love all the paper in that collection, such pretty color combos. The stamp is from the set Scattered Showers by Papertrey. This set is so cute and can be used for so many occasions. I find myself wanting to use it all the time, but don't want to get too sick of it. =)
The flowers are from Prima. I love the selection that Michael's has of Prima flowers! Every time I go back I feel like they have more. Anyways...hope everyone is having a great day and looking forward to their weekend!

Naptime and my CPS 115 card!

Hello everyone!
So both of the girl's are napping and I had a little extra time to make my card for today. But this is going to be a quick post as I want to take a nap as well. =)
My card for today was a quick one I put together using this sketch. I really liked the easy layout and am happy with how my card turned out! The paper is from K & Company's line by Carolyn Gavin. I love the funky colors and designs. Anyways...hope everyone is having a great day, I don't have much else to say...sorry =)

Hello Monday!

After such a nice weekend spending time with the family, it's hard to get back into the swing of things. My card for today is from Jen's SFYTT. I love this sketch. It came really easily. Sometimes I have a hard time figuring out how to make them work but I really like this one. The color combo is nice and clean and fresh. My favorite part of the card is the picture in the middle. I had bought some perfume a little while ago and that was the box it came in. I thought it was so pretty that I saved it and knew I could use it some way. So I cut out a piece of it and put it on my card..easy peasy! Hope you enjoy my card!
