Flowers and more flowers

Hi!  I hope you're having a great weekend!  This is a scheduled post as I'm on vacation!!!!  :)  I hope I'm having a good time! :)

I've got a couple of floral cards for you...

These both were made using Floral Jug from Doodle Pantry.  FYI, this set is FREE with any purchase!!!!

I used a few different scraps of paper on these cards and several different embossing folders... Sorry, I can't remember what they all were.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!!!

Congrats Graduate -TMS #255

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!   I've showed you a few grad cards I've made, but this one is special... it's for my daughter!  We home school and are planning her graduation and party for next month, but she is ALL DONE!!  Both of us are excited!! 

Since we home school, we don't technically have school colors but she loves mint so that's what I chose to use!  She especially loves mint Chevron!  I didn't only make a card, but I made a little gable box that matches, too.   (These pics make them look a bit more blue than they really are.)

Our sketch is a great one by Melissa...

Our sponsor is Digital Delights by Looby Lou!

The grad image is Flower Power Daisy Graduates, the sentiment is Congrats Graduate Sentiment, and the box is Gable Box SVG Cut File all from Digital Delights.  The Chevron is digital paper from Lilly Ashley's Etsy shop.  The number DP is Recollections "Charming."  The image and sentiment were cut with Spellbinders Petite Ovals.  Regular burlap and brads finished it off.

We're taking off on vacation today so my blog visiting will be very limited for the next 2 weeks, but I'll be back and checking you out after that!   

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the rest of our DT...

Super Dad!!

This is the card I made for my kids to give my husband for Father's Day, then I forgot to post it! :P

 

My image is Super Birdbrain.  It is From the Heart's June Stamp of the Month Challenge image.  I've wanted to play along here for awhile and just never made it happen, but when I saw this image at a couple of friends' blogs, I knew I had to get this one and start playing along!   The DP is DCWV All About Boys,  the image is framed with Spellbinders Postage Stamp, and the huge brad is from Making Memories.

I am entering this in these challenges...

A Sweet Friendship - TMS #254

Yay!!!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!!  :)   Fun sketch, wonderful sponsor, and some amazing inspiration for you over at TMS!!

Here is my card...

As I'm posting this, I realized I forgot my original plan.  When I first saw the sketch, I thought it would be neat to make the oval a window and put my image on the inside.  Oh well!  Too late now! LOL   I used Doodle Pantry's Porch Swing for my image, sentiment, and BG paper.  The border punch is MS and I used Spellbinders Petite Ovals and Petite Scalloped Ovals.  I added adhesive pearls to the center of the tiny Prima flowers.

Here is the sketch...

 

Our sponsor is Doodle Pantry!!  Play long for your chance to win some awesome images!!  So many fun, or quirky, or realistic, colored and outline images, with digi papers to choose from!!  Yeah, I'm on the DP DT, too! :)

I've got a fairly simple but pretty card to send a friend who needs a bit of encouragement.

 

My image is Daffodil & Sweet Pea COLOR Plus from Doodle Pantry.   This card was one of several I made for a friend who loves "modern" communication like FB and texting but wants to get back to sending hand written notes from the heart.

For Dad -TMS #253

Father's Day is Sunday!!  Have you made your card for your dad and/or husband yet?   If not, I can help you.  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches and I think this week's sketch works very well for a masculine card.  It had better... this week is our Judged Challenge with a Twist and the twist is "Masculine"!!!

Here's my "manly" card...

My image is "Tools" from Beccy's Place.  The DP is 7 Gypsies "Venice."  This paper is wonderful for masculine cards!!   The sentiment is from Raisin Boat's "Time Flies" clear set.  Some black twine finished it off. 

This week's sketch is one that I designed...

And this week's sponsor is ME!  :)  Play along with us this week and if you follow the sketch and do the twist ("Make It Manly"), you will be eligible to win the prize.  What is the prize, you ask??
It is a set of Spectrum Noir markers!  It's the 6 pc set "Essentials."  You know you want them!!! :)  So play along!!

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the rest of our DT...

Sock Monkey Grad - TMS #252

Hi!  It's Tuesday and time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  I'm having fun making grad cards and this week I have another one.  This one is the best, I think, because I love sock monkeys!!!  They are soooo cute!  {I'll let you in on a secret... my hubby even bought me sock monkey pj's!! :) }

This is a wonderful sketch by Melissa... Remember that you can flip or turn the sketch, use different shapes, and make it your own... we just need to be able to see the sketch in your creation! 

 

Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Digi Stamps!!  Playing with Bugaboo images is always fun!!!  Play along with us and you could win some Bugaboo images!!
