It's your day & more Wedding

Hello everyone!!

I had time to craft yesterday, YAY!! It's been a crazy, busy summer!! We either have people over or we're invited somewhere, yesterday was the first time in a long time that we were home and alone. I of course had to get some cleaning done before crafting, otherwise I'd feel guilty, and then made a couple of cards!

Here's my first card:

Here is a close up pf the tag, it says Wedding.

This card is a request. The wedding invitation had these colors, black, white and a touch of purple, so I went with that and a great sketch from Stampin' Royalty, here is the sketch:


I wanted to make a few masculine cards as well, here is one of them:

I used a great sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #48 (unfortunately I'm too late to enter it, OH WELL) and the little bug comes from Digi Web Studio, called angel butterfly. it doesn't look like an angel here because I cut off it's halo..oops!!

I will be entering the first card in the following challenges:
Di's Digis Designs, wedding
Sweet Stampin', wedding ( I stamped the Paisley pattern in purple distressed ink)
Stampin' Royalty, sketch #137, SR#137

And the Butterfly card in the following challenges:
Craft Your Days Away, farewell challenge, anything goes
Joyful stamper, Inspire me Friday's, 71 anything goes
Craft your passion, use 3 of something (the Robyn's dewdrops on left hand side)

Well I;m off to make more cards, hope to have time to come back and post!

Thanks for stopping by

Always & Forever - Wedding

Hello everyone,

Well we can't say we didn't have a great summer so far...they are calling for rain all weekend..the grass sure needs it and it would be nice to get some cleaning and of course crafting done as well so let's get started!!

I need to work on a few wedding card requests for September. I fugured I'd make a set and let the customer choose and the other would be for my stash. I've recently sold 2 of my wedding cards from my stash so I need to replenish!!

Here is card#1:

I used  a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #47, my go to place for great inspiration!!I took a close up picture to show you the cute couple in the car and the stickles I added to it for some shine. I also used this embossing folder for the first time, of course I had it or a while..LOL!! I think it adds some great texture to the card!!

Whenever I get an engagement or wedding request, I ask them what the brides colors are or what style the invitation was so that I can get some inspiration. This invitation was covered in very shiny cardstock in Navy, Light Blue and Ivory.

Here is a peek at card #2:

Same sketch but just twisted the colors around. I used glimmery gold background paper and embossed the navy with my small dots embossing folder.I also used a different sentiment, this one says "Just Married".

I'm entering card #1 in the following challenges:
Freshly Made Sketches, challenge Sketch #47
Simon says Stamp, Bingo challenge (DieCut/Free/Glitter)
DL.Art Thanklful Thursday - Wedding
Little Miss Muffet, Scallops challenge#41

Thanks for stopping by! I think I will be scrapbooking this weekend so I might pop by to show you a Layout or two!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!
Don't forget to...

30th - The Craft's Meow sketch

Hello!!!

As usual we are enjoying the outdoors immensely. We are in the pool everyday, today with my in-laws and yesterday with my side of the family including my gorgeous nephew, so much fun!! It's been very humid here so the pool helps a lot...and lets not forget air conditioning..LOL!!

Today a fiddled around with The Craft's Meow August sketch, I had a request for a female 30th b-day card, here it is:

and this is the sketch:

I just love their monthly sketch's, I sure didn't waste any time using it..LOL!!

I made an easel card using a 5x7 this time, here is the view opened and side view:

I finally used some chipboard embellishments that I bought from Winners, at a great deal I might add, love that!! I also used my bling every where and a great brad on the flowers.

Of course I had great inspiration from fabulous Blogs, here are the ones I entered:

The Craft's Meow, August sketch
