PTI Swap Card #2

Hello!
I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter weekend. I had a great time with my family. It was truly a blessed weekend for me!

Here is the last card for the PTI swap card that I did. Jen- the cards should be in the mail by Friday or Saturday.



We're halfway to the weekend! WOOHOO!!

Have a great night!

Color Inspiration Challenge #2

**eta- Kristina posted up 40 cards using her color challenge and mine was included. It's pretty cool to see my card up on her site. She's definitely one of my paper crafting inspirations!**

Kristina Werner http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/ issued a color challenge using these colors- groovy guava, blush blossom, so saffron, & wild wasabi.

So, here is my card.



Details-
Stamps: Beautiful Blooms & Green Thumb- Papertrey Ink
Paper- Groovy Guava, Blush Blossom, So Saffron, & Wild Wasabi- SU!
Ink- Wild Wasabi- SU!; Versamark
Other- Twill ribbon- SU!; thread- Martha Stewart; Build a Brad-SU!; Clear Embossing Powder-SU!

You can barely see it, but I used Blush Blossom for my card base. I feel like the punched circle needs something, but couldn't figure out what to add, so I left it as is.

Have a great night!

Hello Again!

I'm back!!

I have really been missing being able to update my blog, but we're back online! :)

Here are the first set of cards for the Papertrey Ink swap over on SCS. It's being hosted by Jen. I can't wait to see everyone's cards. I've got my other set done, I'll upload that photo later this week.



Here is an Easter card I made for my grandmother.



Here is a card I made for my Dad. He's a Harley guy, so I found this stamp appropriate for him!
The little track at the bottom is actually a rub-on from SU!
I thought it made the card look great!



Here is a frame I made for my Mom.
I found the frame at Wal-Mart after emailing Beth Silaka (freckled fun) and asking her where she gets her frames. She makes the cutest name frames.



If you want details on any of these cards/frame, please leave me a comment and I'll get you the answers. Be sure to leave your email if you don't have a blog! Thanks!
Ahh, it's so nice to be back!

Now, I'm off to watch the movies I rented- Enchanted and Atonement. Anyone seen these??

Have a great night!

I hope all of you have had a great Friday and are looking forward to the weekend! I know I am!

Cody is home and it's great to have him back. I'm so proud of all of the hard work those guys and ladies did to help those who were affected by the tornadoes. I love our military men and women!
