Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #60

This is my take on the sketch this week for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge. Lucky for me I had some precut ovals I bought on eBay as I don't have anything that cuts or punches oval....I know that's hard to believe!!

I used a mix of paper. The pink background is Sweet Blush Perfect Match from Papertrey Ink. Some of the other paper is Basic Grey-Two Scoops. I colored the cupcakes with my copics, added a bit of sparkle with some Spica's and some white from a gel pen. I tried to get a bit creative with the ribbon...it's not as smooth as I wanted but not too bad.

Today's Creativity...not so much!

I made another card like the one yesterday, but for a baby boy this time. I intended to make several more with this layout but had other things come up that I needed to do such as design a wedding book.

I also had a photo order come in so I needed to "pretty up" my wallet packaging a bit for a senior girl's order. You can check out my photo blog or my website.

Thanks for checking in! I always appreciate comments!!

A Baby Card

I made this baby card based on some cards I saw a while back on Michelle Wooderson's blog. I check her blog often for inspiration!

The patterned paper was Nana's Nursery from Hobby Lobby on Kraft paper from PapertreyInk. The stamp is from Stampin' Up set "Polka Dot Punches" and the heart was punched out with the Stampin' Up Large Heart Punch. The sentiment is from Bitty Baby Blessings from PaperTreyInk.

Card for House Mouse Challenge #29

This was a fun card I made for the House Mouse Challenge #29. The paper was Memory Box "Sprout." I stamped my mouse with Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored him with copics. You can't really tell in the picture, but I used Crystal Effects to make the little water drops on the flowers. I used Spellbinders Nestibilities to cut the circles. To finish it off, I punched out the corner piece and added the bow and the robins eggs.

TECC59

Can you believe I made two different cards for this weeks challenge #59?!? I loved working with this sketch of Taylor's!

Thanks for checking in!

Sympathy Card

I had a fun Stampin' Up party last night! Oh boy, did I ever have to hold on tight to my money. There are so many cute stamp sets, as well as accessories. I'm sure I really need one of most everything!

I do have a new stamp set from PapertreyInk called "With Sympathy." I had to try it out this afternoon and make a quick card as I needed a sympathy card any way. The paper is ocean tides, as well as the ink color. The brown is stampin' up and I sponged some Ranger distress inks around it, especially towards the edge. I also sponged on a bit of VersaMark Dazzle in Champagne to give it a bit of sparkle. I also used a gold Spica pen to add a bit of sparkle in the flowers. The ribbon is a satin chocolate chip from PaperTrey also. With Sympathy stamp is from Stampin' Up set "Warmest Regards."

Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55

This card is for Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #55. This was a challenge for me! Don't usually have to cut that many straight lines! :-) At first I thought I didn't like the card at all but then I added the embossed swirly and the ribbon and this really seemed to bring the card together for me. The plain paper is the Perfect Match paper from Papertrey in Aqua Mist. The patterned paper is "Let it Bloom" from Black Market. Ribbon is Ocean Tides from Papertrey. Sentiment is from Hero Arts stamped with Ocean Tides and the Swirly is from Stampabilities embossed in Whiskers Seafoam White. And, as a final touch the little robin eggs!

This week I also decorated a couple of cute photo boxes for wallets for seniors...but I let those go out the door before I took a picture. :-(

Be creative!
