June

Hi all, as usual it's been quite some time since I actually posted something here. It's been a busy month. I went to Camp Aldersgate for Muscular Dystrophy camp for a week, then lots of birthday festivities, my dear old friend Esther and her kids were in town visiting, I went to Memphis to see Wicked, and finally my nephew Will was Baptised this weekend.
Here are a couple pics from the Baptism.




Now seriously, don't I have the cutest nephews ever???
I was overstaffed at work yesterday and today. Monday I was completely lazy and caught up on some much needed sleep. Today I was actually a little bit productive and had a little creative burst.
This first card is a CASE of one I did a few posts ago. This time, I used tissue paper for the flower. Sorry, I can't remember which blog I got that idea from, but I love it!


Recipe:
Cardstock Lavender moon, ink raspberry fizz, button, DP, Sentiment (Handwritten Notes) all PTI. Flower tissue paper.


This card was inspired by this cardand she was inspired by the SCS Color Challenge #225, and a Monday Mojo sketch #93.

The latest

The past couple of weekends I've been pretty productive (As far as crafting goes; housework, not so much).
This is a CASE of Dawn's card's color scheme and layout. Check out her blog. You'll be glad you did.

Here's a close up of the sentiment- "Tanks a lot". How cute is that?

These next two cards were made with decorative paper scraps and a cute little chick.

This card was inspired by me wanting to try out this paper pleating technique. YaYa Kimberly shared this ribbon that worked perfectly with the paper and buttons.

This next card is my attempt at this Splitcoast sketch challenge:


Recipe: DP, ink, cardstock, stamps SU, sentiment PTI
Below is my favorite. It was inspired by this wide paisley ribbon that Kimberly shared. I also tried out this little technique I've been seeing out in the blog-o-sphere. I layered graduated circles/ scalloped circles. I crumpled the top black circle then straightened it out and distressed the edges. The cardstock actually started separating into two pieces. Very cool.

Anyway, that's about all I've got to share. Have a great week!
Happy crafting!
