Fun to Grow Up

Rain, rain GO AWAY!!! I know we had three days of sun but I can't take any more rain so I feel it's my right to complain! Stuck in on a gray, rainy day I went crazy with my card making. I discovered Pile it On early last week but forgot where I found it. Luckily Dalis played along with this week's Unscripted Sketch and I found the challenge once more.

The whole idea behind Pile It On's challenge is to complete their challenge and combine it with other challenges. Not as easy as it sounds by here's what I did:

Pile it On! use 3 or more embelishments (I used ribbon, buttons, twine)

Our Creative Corner - red, white and blue

Sweet Stop Sketch Saturday - this week's sketch is found here

Created by Courtney challenge - use buttons

From Courtney's Closet 47 - inspiration from Libby's adorable daughter's outfit. So cute!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - cut it out, pop it up (I did with the words TV and cookies)

High Hopes Challenge 38 - use polka dots (paper and ribbon)

I'm pretty sure that's all, though I know there are more challenges to use red, white and blue. But I think that's enough! For now I need to turn the computer off because I'm hearing thunder and I think I just saw some lightning. YIKES!

Smiles,

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Brocade Blue

Ink: Real Red, Brocade Blue, Chocolate Chip, Black Stazon

Stamp: Inkadinkado Kid's Quotes, SU On Your Birthday

Other: ribbon, glue dots, cuttlebug, buttons, twine

Mother's Day Mojo

I heard that this week's sketch for Mojo Monday was challenging, and the rumors were correct. This is the exact opposite of a CAS card, but my husband's grandmother will love it:


What do you think? I don't have any Mother's Day stamps (and haven't made any other cards for Sunday!) so I printed this sentiment on the computer, using the Pristina font. This card is also for this week's Created By Courtney challenge to use flowers. We've got plenty of showers in NH, now we just need some of these May flowers to bloom!

Smiles,




Paper: Regal Rose, Chocolate Chip, Textured White, Green Galore, Candy Lane DSP, Pixie Pink
