friend...

I'm seriously patting myself on the back for this card. I was able to combine 3 different challenges...unheard of in my blogland...

CPS131

for the sketch

Card*A*Licious 26

for the color combo of green, pink & orange

Secret Crafter Saturday

for their Flights of Fancy challenge, anything with wings...aha....thought I'd use an owlie, huh?

I've recently discovered Bazzill Swiss Dot paper {I used it as my 6 x 6 base}....oooohhhhh....love it. The other papers are ala American Crafts. I actually found the SU butterfly diecut piece on my work top and added that onto the card, which worked perfectly with the CPS sketch :) I've gotten to the point where I have to finish off buttons, what's wrong with me? I'm really quite the "lazy crafter" but now when I see my nakey buttons it just isn't quite right for me.

Did you notice the corners of the orange houndstooth panel...yup, used my SU corner ticket punch...didn't mean to and didn't want to trim the panel down {LOVE that pattern} so I "went with it" and added the kaiser pearls....dontcha love when that happens? That really is the beauty of paper crafting...the ability to "go with the flow"....Now I gotta find a ginormous envy for my card...LOL.

Thanks for stoppin' by!!!!

Happy 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!

I really enjoy Pam's sketches...they make me work outside my box. This sketch initially stumped me...I knew I wanted to work with my gorgeous Hambly papers...I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to use in the upper left hand corner. Then I broke out my Stampin' Up butterfly die and Martha butterfly punch. I call it my clean & crisp with a twist!

I hope that you will join us over at 365 Cards!!

Live in the Now

This is for the Caardvarks Kraft Macaroni & Cheese challenge...How fun is that?!! I absolutely adore the look of Kraft...love working with it. This is a dimensional filled design...each of the SU Top Note layers are on dimensionals along with the SU Butterfly. The sentiment is ala Jennifer Pebbles' garage sale last summer which is Rhonna Farrer Spendor word art clear stickers. The Kitchen Pink Polka dot paper is ala A Muse and the preppy striped grosgrain is M's $ spot. Whenever I team up that striped grosgrain with kraft it just screams "Preppy" to me...how about you?
