Garden Fairy Katie Card PWC 117

This week's challenge included a sketch by Frances. I just realized, card making is so much easier if you follow a sketch. Since I was home today, I decided to put all chores aside and work on this card until Logan got off the bus. So without further ado, here is the sketch.

Cute sketch, right. Here is my card:

As always the card look better in real life. I used Paper pretties Garden Fairy Katie, Designer paper is Basic Grey Origins, Martha Stewart's punch, glitter, textured cardstock, flowers, Mango pearls, shear ribbon from Joanne's and colored everything with copic markers except for the doilie, I used my SU ink apricot appeal and used a mix of embossing powder and glitter to give it some shine.

With this week's challenge you have a chance to win Paper Pretties set "Simply Special". Come on get your paper and stamps out and make a card...who doesn't need a card. As always, thanks for stopping by!!!

I am also adding this card to the Oh, Alice! challenge. I just know I won't have enough to time to finish a second card.

Back to School card - PWC116

Logan is entering the 3rd grade!! I can't believe how quickly time is passing by, where did the time go? Logan will be giving his new teacher this card, yes I am buttering her up, I know I will get a phone call at some point about Logan not listen or talking too much. That's just Logan's personality, talk, talk, talk, play, play, play. He has too much of Daddy in him LOL.

For this card, I used Paper Pretties Look out World Cooper and colored him in using copic markers. For the sentiment I used part of the sentiment from Off to School Sophia. The DP is Kaisercraft Jungle Bug Collection. I love this paper, it has so many bright bold colors. I used SU orange and navy cardstock along with Red ribbon and to finish the card, I used these adorable orange glitter dots.

It's been one of the busiest weeks yet at work and home, so I am just happy to have this card ready for for his first day of school, which is Thursday. I hope you all have a great week, bring the tissues if your kids are getting on the bus for the first time.

Hugs

PWC 115 Summer theme

Another challenge from the Paper Pretties ladies and this time the theme was summer. I took an old page that I think I started with my SU demo Virgina, I think the page was suppose to be birthday but I forget now. I added some photos from five years ago...this is Logan and Grandma Rose. The page is plain and simple, no journalling or embellishments, I could add later but for right now I just wanted simple. I take too long making my pages and I need to break that habit, otherwise I am never going to get caught up.



For the page I used SU baseful blue, pumpkin orange and DP, for the images I used G studio (bathing suit) and Paper Pretties Beach Bum Cooper and copic markers.



Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your week.

This week TMS asked us to make a Diagonal Double pocket card by following this tutorial on SCS. If it weren't for the pictures, I probably would have given up, but I found this tutorial to be so easy. Here is my card:
I love all the colors in this card, I used Paper Pretties Cowboy Cooper, DP from American Crafts, SU cardstock summer sun and Twine. I hope you like and as always thanks for stopping by.

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge PWC114 ribbon

Here is my card for the Paper Pretties challenge. The challenge was an easy challenge all we had to do was use ribbon and enter our cards for a chance to win the Paper Pretties set "Angel Wings Sophia". Here is my card: This is the Paper Pretties stamp set dreamboat. It comes with three sentiments. Unfortunately I didn't plan out the card well, so when I finished gluing and looked down...I didn't have enough room to add my sentiment. So this "hello" from Firecraker design will have to do.

I tried the "out of the box" with nestabilities tech and even though I received great instructions from Jennifer at Glitter in my hair...I wasn't able to pull it off neatly. Don't look too close the mistakes are there. LOL. I embossed the leather jacket and the shoes of both, looks great in real life.

For this card I used Paper Pretties Dreamboat image, SU cardstock, Basic Grey Olivia DP, Glitter dots, Ultra fine glitter with that great Glue pen, black diamond ribbon, copic markers , clear embossing powder and shiny black cardstock given to me by Sandy. Thanks Sandy!!

Here is a thank you card I made for my friend Heather with my first Paper Pretties stamp.

I used Paper Pretties Giving Thanks Sophia and pearls, I also used SU orange card stock and oval punched. Sophia was paper pieced with DP and I used copic marker to color her in. Thanks for dropping by and don't forget to join the party and check out the blog hop. The cards that the DT came up with are fabulous!!!

New layout

My friend Virginia had an SU class a couple of weeks ago and we made a double layout. She came up with the color and the format. I just added a few more pieces to the flower, the scallops, title, journal and the embellishments. I really like how the page came out. Here is the first page: Here is the second:

For this page we used SU barely banana, real red and old olive, DP and red ribbon. I also used Jolee's embellishments, flowers were colored using copic markers. Title was made using the cricut to make the letters "WEED" then I print the word "Orchard" on a transparency and put it over the letters. Love how that came out. I also used Paper Pretties black glitter dots which added sparkle to my page. Love them, they were so easy to put on, mini glue dot fits perfectly with no extra glue sticking out.

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.
