BBTB2 Challenge- Card using Sunglasses

The BBTB2 challenge this week was to make a project using sunglasses.  I was going to use the sunglasses on Paisley and then I found this cut on Pack Your Bags.  Since I haven't used it yet I cut the flip flops and crab from  Pack Your Bags.  The wave is from Life's A Beach.  I used a MS PATP  for the edges.  Used Stickles on the waves, added tiny flower beads to sandles,  chalked all the edges, added ribbon, and two tiny shells I found on a recent beach trip.

Wedding card

Today I made a card for a wedding I am coordinating that is August 4th.  It actually started to be the shower card which is in two weeks but I decided to use it for wedding and make another one for shower.  I love all white cards.  I used the Brocade Window embossisng folder and a rose 5 x 7 Cuttlebug folder.  Then I used a textile folder for the flower embossing and a different one for leaves.  The flower is from Sweethearts and was cut twice to give more depth.   I stamped Congratulations with silver and embossed.  Added some diamond stickles and pop dotted the flower 3 out of 4 of the layers.   I am entering this in the My Craft Spot challenge this week.  

My Creative Time Challenge- Doodlecharms and blue

The challenge this week at My Creative Time was to make a project using Doodlecharms and blue.  I decided to get a head start on my Cards for Soldiers and so I cut out 5 of the cupcakes at 4 inches.  Then I embossed everything.  The pink paper was cordinations paper so I embossed it and then sanded and added a little Stickles.  I spent a great deal of time this weekend organizing my stamps and  found this one that says Indulge Yourself in a huge set of phrases I got from HSN.  I really like this cupcake and I also think Doodlecharms is a great cart for making a bunch of the same card.  Simple cuts and easy layers.  

Lighthouse Long Card with Wall Decor

This is a card I made using Wall Decor for a challenge this week.  The challenge was to make a long card which is 4 x 9.  I have made this before but have always made the design go the other way.  I used DCVW paper Lace and Linens, MS sand dollar punch, Tim Holtz ink and pearls.  I stamped the sentiment.  I had to trim some of the curvy edges on bottom as they hung over edge of card and glue them other places.  

CC Blog contest- Show a picture of you in your craft room.

There is a contest on the CC Blog to post a pic of your craft room.  After National Scrapbook day and the 12 challenges with Robyn at Pink Stamper I could barely make it to my chair,  Decided to clean up a little before taking pic.  This is actually the 2nd time I had pic taken in my room this week.    The first time H took 3 pics and not one  was any good-  I don't think he even looks to see if your head is in pic.  This time I checked before he escaped to make sure I got one.  This is my crafting buddy my 6 month old grand daughter.  She loves to watch when the machines are cutting.  Behind me are my nonholiday MS punches.  All other punches and holiday MS punches are not on the wall anymore as I ran out of rods.  

Wedding and Anniversary Cards

This card was made using Tie the Knot and my new MS fancy heart punch.  I embossed the wedding dress with two embossing folders and used pearls and Stickles to bling it out.  

Both my daughters were married in May.  I made matching anniversary cards using Sweethearts for the front. On the inside one has one towel for ours and one two depending on how many kids they have.  The one with two actually won't have second baby until July but since we already know her name I made her a towel too.  Towels are embossed and  I monogrammed them with tiny stamps I have.
