Back in the groove...

So, we're back for reallsies!  I got all the laundry done and the house cleaned.  I just didn't fold the laundry.  Is that bad?  I'm one of those people who feels that as long as it's clean, you can fold it yourself or else grab it out of the basket.  I need to make things--namely cards and crafts! ;)  So, that's what I did!  I made FIVE cards today!  One is a DT card for later, but I'll show you 2 of the other four tonight!

Here's the first card~

Digi Haven: Yummy in My Tummy

(Find my scrumptious digi HERE)

Dynamic Duos: Color Inspiration

Tuesday Throwdown: Sweet Treats

This card was fun to make.  I started by creating a panel with a photoshop program using the delicious strawberry digi from Free Vintage Digital Stamps and then printed it out.  I then colored the strawberries, dry embossed the panel with a folder from Stampin' Up!  I then added some ribbon, a twine tied button, and a cute sentiment from the Fresh Fruits set by Fiskars.  Voila!  Card finished and it looks oh so delicious!  And now for another card!

Hero Arts: CAS w/ sketches
 (I've used a sentiment by Hero Arts & Basic Grey

 from the Kissing Booth Collection

in a set called "Friend Your The Best".)

 

Creative Craft Challenges2: Just a Sentiment

BasicGrey Challenge: Bright and Bold

This was such a fun card to make!  I just grabbed a bunch of bright cardstock and ribbon, dry embossed the blue panel with a Darice folder, put the papers and ribbon together, added a sentiment and some rhinestones, and here you go!  SO much fun!

Thanks for coming by and saying hi!  I've missed everyone and cannot wait to really get back into the groove!  I hope to be back tomorrow night with some more cards, but it's my first day back to work after summer break and we'll see. BOO.  I want more summer!  Happy stamping! ;)

PS: I had to post this darling picture of my fur baby!  I've missed her so!  Isn't she a doll?!

Another two...

Yep, I'm back!!! ;)  I've got two for this post. ;)  Let's get to it, shall we?!  I'm so in trouble with all the cards I need to blog...I think this will be my last post tonight, though.  You'll have to come back later to see more! ;)

Hero Arts: Create Your Own Flowers

This card was inspired by Lucy Abram's AMAZING punched peony (I just KNEW I had to do this when I saw her card) and I was also inspired by Julie Ebersole's layout on her coloring with markers card.  LOVE the way this turned out!!!  I LOVED the colors in the SFTW photo and knew I would have to use those! ;)

Thanks for taking a peek--I'll be back in a few with yet another card!  Happy stamping!!! :)
