Pink Birthday Balloons!

Today I have some happy birthday balloons for a cute little birthday girl! Altho it could totally work for a grown-up birthday girl too! I used the color combination from TGIF Challenges for this one. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Arched Wishes, 2016 Paper Pumpkin, even older Paper Pumpkin

Ink: Bubble Bath, Melon Mambo, Memento Black

Paper: Bubble Bath, Basic White card stocks

Accessories: Vintage Crochet Trim 

Pink Roses

Hello and happy Monday! ...still. I have a sickie home but I think she'll be at school tomorrow. I actually had two sickies home this morning but one was okay after some meds, lol... 'tis the season. And there's actually a storm blowing in, for once. I hope it brings a lot of water!!!

Today I have a card using the inspiration photo from SUO Challenges. I picked the colors and the roses. I started coloring with Stampin' Blends but I felt like that was way too bold. So I used Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens to color in just the blooms themselves. I also distressed it a little with the Timeworn Type embossing folder.

Supplies:
Stamps: Layers of Beauty, Sunny Sentiments
Ink: Smoky Slate, Flirty Flamingo
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Basic Beige
Accessories: Antique Pearls, Crochet Lace, Watercolor Pencils (Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, Cherry Cobbler), Blender Pens, Timeworn Type embossing folder, Dimensionals, Big Shot

And, I liked, and had a variation idea, so I made another for another day, ha!

A Valentine card

Hello and happy Monday to you!
It's Groundhog Day today, but we celebrated yesterday, haha. Yep, we celebrate! We've kind of always watched the Bill Murray movie every year, more like as an indoor date night. One year my daughter heard lots of people talking about the Super Bowl food they were going home to enjoy after church, ha, so we made Super Bowl food to celebrate Groundhog Day that year. And the tradition stuck! 

But most of February, especially in the crafting world, (and the mom world) means Valentines. So today I have a Valentine-y card that I made last year and never shared! Handy! ha! I am pretty sure I designed this for a class and changed my mind. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Perfect Pairs
Ink: Memento Black, Real Red

Paper: Basic White, Real Red, Basic Black card stocks

Accessories: Transparent Adhesive-Backed Dots
