Heidi Grace card

This is a card I made a few days ago and I have to say that I LOVE the way it turned out!!! The colors go together so much better IRL, such a pretty card. The main image is a rub on by Heidi Grace and I got it at Archivers a few weeks ago. I used my nesties for the white and blue layers (LOVE those nesties!!!)

I have decided that this is really my style, and I love it! I am not one who can make tons of layers and different patterns work for me....this is me and my style! Let me know what type of style you are, I am very curious to see if there are a lot like me or just a few. Thanks for all of your comments, they always bring a smile to my face :)

Paper Askew Inspiration Challenge

I finally am getting back into finishing cards in time for the challenges!! This is one I made for the beautiful inspiration picture at Paper Askew. I am still not sure I love how it turned out, even though it was what I was planning on doing.....oh well, I am sure it will grow on me. You can't see it very well, but on the side it says "grateful".

The majority of the card is from my scrap bin, slowly chipping away at that pile:) I did use some silver triangle eyelets from Eye-Let's Etc. for the ribbon to thread through for the lattice effect (at least that was my intention) I am having a lot of fun incorporating all of the fun different types into my projects, keep checking back to see what else I can do with them :)

Hope you all have a great day and maybe I will get some more pages posted soon!!!

Kazan's Sketch

Here is the card I made for this weeks sketch, I really love how it turned out. It does not follow the sketch exactly, but it is only a starting point!!! The papers are all SU! and I got this ribbon and the flower sticker at the top at Michaels in the $1 bins. Not sure if you can see my little snail along the buttons, but he is there, he is one of the many designs of eyelets you can get from eye-lets etc.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, we are gearing up for another pool party tomorrow. Let's hope I can create a little bit more before I have to clean up my area for the guests ;)

That candy got my attention!!!! A big congrats to you!


Please email me at 4rumins@gmail.com with your snail mail and I will get out your goodies to you all!

This card is one I made while playing with some of the goodies I got from Pam's RAK, the page pebbles, flowers and a few plain round eyelets from Eye-Lets Etc. The paper is just from my scraps bin, still trying to make a dent in it!

Thanks for checking in today and for all of your nice comments, they really make my day!

Happy Birthday Papa (Ron)

Today is my wonderful FIL's birthday. We got together last night to celebrate and give him his gift (of course I forgot to get a picture of that) and card. Sorry about the picture of the card, we were leaving and I had to take it quickly.

I just kind of started playing with this card, not sure what the finished product would be, I am still not sure I love how it turned out, but I do like it! I used the top of a cupcake box that I got from my BBB Pam (might have to take a picture of it so you understand what I am talking about) and used 4 different inks with a sponge for the middle. I then stamped the cake image and added the green paper along the bottom which I stamped Happy Birthday on. I have a lot of these felt stars which are not too feminine so I used those to finish off the card. I was trying to channel in Kazan's sketch for this week, but don't think I got close enough to make it count. Oh well, it worked for the occasion and I know he loved it!

There are still a few days left to enter for some blog candy, the pile of stuff is starting to get bigger :)

Hope you had a great day and I will leave you with some pics of my girls in a mashed potato eating contest from last night.....

Hello and a Challenge

I seem to always be a day late in life, and this is another example..... I made this card for the 2 Sketches 4 you for last week and did not get it up on Saturday as I originally planned to do. Of course, I had the picture taken but had to go to the Doctor to have my wrist and hand xrayed, so that put getting it uploaded before we headed out for the evening, not happen! Oh well, I really like how it turned out so I am going to post it anyway :)

I found this hello stamp in a little set by scenic route (it also has thanks and 2 designs) at my LSS and knew I needed to use it right away!!! I also got the dp there as well, love the bursts of color on the scallop piece, I will have to get the exact name of the paper and update this later.
