a big woo hoo for summer...

I have been on a huge creative streak and having sooo much fun! Today I have not one but two cards to share with you!!!

I'll give you one guess where the kids and I will be going this summer. You guess it! Hawaii! I made this card for my friend Judy, she and her boy will be our travel buddies. We have a friend that lives there with her son so we're going to have a ton of fun.

The black scallop base is ala Paper Source, the rest of the papers are from Cosmo Cricket's Snorkel line. I finished it off with the Stampin' up striped grosgrain...and of course, vinyl thickers.

Okay, you Hawaiian gals, let me know if there are any "must see" scrapbooking/stamping shops on Oahu :)

This is for the 365 Cards Paper Piecing challenge which also reminded me that SCS CAS Challenge #20 was also paper piecing. Well, obviously I can't enter it into the SCS challenge...sheesh, I was creating and having fun....one thing leads to another...2 rows of pom pom??!!! Life is good...LOL.

I really adore the Pink Paislee Vintage Moon line...seriously, if you haven't checked it out before, you really have to. The patterns and the sheen are over the top fabulous.

The crown & sentiment are via American Crafts MiniMarks. Check it out, I picked up the package at Big Lots for $2!!!!! I'm soooo going back for more...I wanted to try them out before stocking up :) The fantabulous black pom pom trim is from ScrapGal. They are by Bazzill...yes, I may have been the one to buy up the remaining stock of them but I'm crossing my fingers that they will get more in.

Remember to check back tomorrow for 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!!

Savvy Birthday

I'm very lucky to be surrounded by a TON of area stamp companies, Savvy Stamps is one of them. The inspiration for this card design was from the Savvy Gallery. The sentiment is ala A Muse {another local stamp company!}. Paper piecing is a great way to use scraps. I'm good at "collecting" scraps..I'm just not so good about using them. Picture this: I have both my paper cutter and paper scorer on my boy's air hockey table. With all this Holiday Gift Show prep, I have a TON of paper scraps basically covering every area that doesn't have a cutter or scorer on it. It makes it easy to use the scraps {there are literally "layers" of scraps..}. This Large Whimsical Outline Cake image is just screaming to be paper pieced...dontcha think?

stamps: savvy & a muse paper: k&co, speckletone kraft & misc black/white ink: versafine vintage sepia

My All Weather Friend...

Happy Monday!!!

I hope that you had a FABulous weekend. The weather has been gorgeous in the Pacific Northwest. I've been taking advantage of it by hopping onto my bike in the evening.

Yesterday wrapped up the Seattle Susan B Komen Breast Cancer 3 day Walk. I want to give a shout out to my friend E that completed it!!! It was a first time she signed up for it and I am so very proud of her...60 miles...high five sista!!

Those of you that have been following my blogging journey know that I'm pretty much a clean & simple design kind of gal. This MFT card is about as layer'licious as I will get...lol. I'm trying to use sets that are horribly neglected...never seen the light of day. I love the Rain or Shine set. Guess what? It is on sale...my favorite word, sale! This card will go postal today to a friend of mine that is a true animal lover. She has been consistently fostering dogs on top of volunteering at her local animal shelter. She holds a full time job...travels for that job...manages to even make time to make beautiful jewelry {I've been trying to get her to open up an etsy shop!}. She is actually one of thee most craftiest peeps I know...I think she's experienced in almost every crafting possible..lol...AND she's magnificent at everything!

I hope you all have a spectacular week!

Seattle Girl..

I finally bought this very sweet A Muse "Seattle Girl" image...I just think that she is a-dorable and perfect for a Washingtonian :) I dug out some old ki memories paper and used some of my hoarded Art Glitter {vintage shards/glass glitter}...dang, that stuff looks deadly in the little pot it comes in..I paper pieced the girl with the ki memories and her boots are colored with a copic marker....yes, I'm finally using them, I'm starting off "small"...this card is small too, it is 3x3.

-----------------------------------------

stamps: a muse paper: ki memories ink: versafine vintage sepia, copic marker accessories: art glass glitter, rabom grosgrain, scallop punch, coluzzle and quickie glue pen.
