PDCC #175-Thank You

Morning everyone or should I say Good Afternoon!
  I created a card for The Play Date Cafe Color Challenge. This was probably the quickest and easiest card I have ever made. My children didn't distract me at all...lol. Usually it takes me a little over a day to complete a card or project because I have to constantly start and stop. The colors for this weeks challenge were so soft and just beautiful. I used and tweeked a sketch from Mojo Monday. So let's get right into it.

 

Lavender ... Buttercream ... Vanilla

 

 

Here is my take...

 

 

Supplies:

Paper: MME The Sweetest Thing-Lavender, Recollections

Fiskars: Seasons Greeting Sentiment

MFT: Royal Rolled Rose

Martha Stewart:Leaf punch

Pearls, Ribbon, Lace, Handmade flowers

 

Thanks for stopping by!!

You and Me

Good Afternoon!

 I would like to share with you today a layout I created of me and my grandmother. The photo was taken at my son's 1st birthday party about 3 years ago. This was the last photo we took together before she had a stroke. The stroke took a toll on her but I thank the Lord that she is alive. Okay enough enough, let's move on to the description of my layout...lol!

 

I am entering Color Me Scrappy#32 and C'est Magnifique Kits challenge.C'est Magnifique Kits has monthly sketch challenges which I love! Here are the sketches:



 

 

Here is my layout:

 I used so many different elements on this layout. I don't know where to begin...lol!
I first white washed the edges of my paper and photo with vanilla craftsmart paint and water. I then used a damask mask and all purpose stucco to give some dimension to my layout.

 I tore some pages from an old book and some brown Recollections cardstock to mat my photo. I fussy cut some doillies from My Mind's Eye Love Me collection. I also used some paper from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found II Breeze collection.





 I used some flowers from my stash as well as some handmade ones. I used my Ek Success decco flower edge punch...I believe that's the name of it. I also die cut some flourishes using my Sizzix Flourish #9 die. I stamped the birdcage with a Ditto stamp. I tore the side of the page, rolled it back, and stuck some Hobby Lobby lace in there. My title letters came from Studio G, Colorbok, and American Crafts. I also used buttons, pearls, and a handmade stick pin.

Hope to inspire you! Thanks for stopping by!

Best Wishes...

Good Morning and Happy Friday to All!!
  I have a card I'd like to share today! My husband has another coworker leaving and he needed me to make him a quick card. Since I'm following the sketch at MojoMonday #283, this was an easy card to make. I chose to go with the more creams and browns. The sketch was created by Carole Burrage. I am also playing along with Cardsformen-Monochromatic challenge and The Shabby Team Room#156-Frame It.
 
Here is my creation:

Colorbok:French Prep
Recollections Cardstock
Distress Ink:Walnut

Spellbinders: Lacey Circle
Handemade flowers, Printed sentiment from computer

 

 

 

 

 Use the photo for inspiration, with a frame, and use white with one other color!

 

Enjoyed creating this card! Hope this inspire you to create and play along as well!

 

xoxo
