Birthday card at S:CY

Today we have card inspiration on the Sketches: Creatively Yours blog. Here is mine:

I used American Crafts Heat Wave paper, Core'dinations cardstock, SRM sticker sentiment, Pebbles button, Little Yellow Bicycle Boardwalk Clear Cuts, October Afternoon chipboard dots, SU! embossing folder, and unknown ribbon. Placing those circles took longer than anything else...

This card is based on a sketch by Vikki Whittington:

Disney layout

I'm ready to attack the Disney pictures from 2010. It was the boys' first time there and we also had cousins visiting. I have a lot of pictures for just one weekend, so I'm thinking 4 or 5 pages will be good :)

Fancy Pants Childish Things paper, Colorbok cardstock, EK Success stickers, American Crafts badge (Margarita).

Happy Spring

I still had my winter wreath  on the door and people were starting to blame me for the unusual cold weather here in Florida. So I put together this spring wreath to move us into the correct season:

Jillibean Soup Southern Chicken Dumpling papers, twine and sticker from the Card Kitchen March 2012 kit. Other: October Afternoon Sidewalk buttons, EK Success scallop circle punch, Stampin' Up! butterfly punch, SU! heart trio punch (for the leaves), Ranger liquid pearls, Glossy Accents, Martha Stewart chalk ink, Glue Arts glue gun, unknown ribbon. I cut off the center of a paper plate and used the rim as a frame for the ribbon. Here is a closeup of the layered flowers:

And I just love the little bunny family:

Birthday wishes

I was looking through my scrap file and found this strip of paper. Instead of making a St. Patrick's day card, I tacked on a birthday sentiment. I can always use another one of those...

Little Yellow Bicycle Lucky Me paper; Jillibean Soup stamp; Colorbox white pigment ink; AC white embossing powder; SU! pinwheel die, WRMK stitch piercer; unknown cardstock, floss, brad and button. I finally got the Cuttlebug I got for Christmas out of its box.
