Enjoy the Ride - PCC #84

TGIF!  I am a happy happy person today! It's Friday AND last night my husband booked our belated honeymoon/1 year anniversary trip to DISNEY for September!!!!!!!!! I went to Magic Kingdom once back in 2000 and he's never been at all so it will definitely be a magical trip!

Back to the reason you are here - PaperCutz Challenge #84!  We'd like to see your cards, layouts or projects using 3 patterned papers with any colors/themes you'd like!

Here is my take~

I've had this card done for almost a month now with the exception of the buttons on it...when I had the bright idea to make a bunch of cards using the PTI Everday Button Bits set, I forgot to pack buttons LOL! So I'm slowly finishing them up now that I found buttons to match (BG Jovial collection!)

All of the paper is from the TE July kit using KI Memories Paisley Parade paper.  The ribbon and pearls came from the TE store.  I used my Labels 9 nestabilities to cut/layer the image. I used the February Sketch for You to Try for the layout.

Flutter By Wednesday #145

If you stopped by earlier for my Flutter By Wednesday card, sorry about not having it up! {waving hi to Kimberly!} I've been having some router issues this week, hopefully my dear techy husband will resolve them soon {waving hi to him too if he's reading this!}

This week's FBW challenge is to create a card based on this inspiration picture

I was immediately drawn to the daisies, they are my favorite flower! I decided to use another image from last week's sponsor, Robyn's Fetish, called Daisy Days. Appropriate, right? :)

The paper and woolies are from the Basic Grey Green at Heart collection, one of my favorites from them!

I used the March sketch from Sketch for You to Try, I got to use up some scraps. Yay me!

If you'd like to play along with FBW, please link your card HERE and you can see more inspiration from the fabulous team, check out the links on my left sidebar!

January SFYTT

First ~ thank you to everyone that commented on my 'white on white' card! I so appreciate all of them!

With just a few days to spare, I am getting my January SFYTT card posted. I started it last Saturday at a friend's house and then I decided to add glitter to the frosting one night. Then the next night I was going to post it and then decided to add glitter to the candles lol. One can never have too much glitter!

This adorable bunny is from The Cat's Pajamas and is called Forget About the Cake. He was so happy to get out of the package and get inked up! The happy paper is from SEI called Happy Day. A tip regarding the sentiment, it was one long sentiment and I folded it over a clear block so I could stamp it on two lines.

Here is the sketch~

On the 5th Day of Christmas

Hi friends!

Sorry I'm so late with my Christmas post today. I had a very busy morning and afternoon, and then a lazy evening spent watching TV. Did anyone watch the Hallmark movie "Mrs. Miracle". It was based on Debbie Macomber's book and it was so cute! I really enjoyed it.

Here is the quick card that I whipped up after the movie. I found my fun flock to use on Santa's beard :)


During commercials, I checked The Daily Dare for today's challenges and found this SFYTT sketch to use, one of my favorite sites to play along with.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Candy Cane Santa ~ Hero Arts, Holiday Greetings ~ Amuse
Paper: DCWV, PTI, Paper Co.
Ink: Memento
Copics: R46, R89, N7, R01, R20
Accessories: Marvy punches, fun flock, spica glitter pen, Stampin Up ticket punch

Thanks for looking!

A Bouncing Baby Buggy

Happy Black Friday!

Did you shop til you dropped? I certainly did, lots of good deals out there and I managed to get everything on my list (and then some lol!!)

I'm sharing a card that I made a few weeks ago for a friend of mine on a Yahoo group. When I saw this adorable bouncing buggy from Squigglefly, I had to get it.

The new one did baby's room in black and white and it looks so very cool. When I found this Imaginisce paper in my stash, I knew it was perfect!

Here is the SFYTT sketch that I used.

And for once, I decorated the inside.
The sentiments are from the Congrats set from Stampin' Up. First time inked!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Bouncing Buggy ~ Squigglefly, Congrats ~ Stampin' Up
Paper: Imaginisce
Ink: Memento (for the inside), copics: RV11, N7
Accessories: Marvy Extra Giga Scallop Punch, zig writer, SU corner rounder, EK Success scalloped border punch, stardust stickles

Thanks for looking!

SFYTT with TCP!

I've missed doing Jen's SFYTT sketches! A new one comes out tomorrow and here I am just using this past Saturday's.

This adorable (IMO!) card is for my niece Grace. Tomorrow she is celebrating her 1st birthday! I am so excited. Her present (a Cabbage Patch newborn) is all wrapped and ready to go, and the card will be ready as soon as its dry. We are celebrating her older brother's birthday too since its in a few weeks, I still need to get his card made. Stamps and paper are picked out, just need to find a sketch to work with!

This is my very first card using The Cat's Pajamas stamps. I've drooled over them from afar for quite some time and couldn't find any local stores that carried them until recently. I bought one set back in March and the other just last weekend and used both on this card - You Say Its Your Birthday (penguin + 1) and Smells Like Cake (happy birthday). I did the cool thing that I've seen recently, making the sentiment look like a banner. I didn't pop it up though since I popped the main image up. Oh and I used more old paper! Yay me!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Recipe:
Stamps: Smells Like Cake & You Say Its Your Birthday ~ The Cat's Pajamas
Paper: GP, Making Memories (pink polka dots), DCWV
Ink: Tuxedo Black, SU Barely Banana, Copics ~ B14, YR16,V17,RV14
Accessories: star dust stickles, mini pop dots
