Papercraft Star and Creative Scrappers

This last week at Papercraft Star the theme is Spring! I must say that I absolutely love SPRING and the colors associated with Spring! The challenge was to use one or more of these colors in your project! I, of course, chose the purples and pinks!

And for the sketch that I used, it came from Creative Scrappers!


I decided to turn the sketch so the photos went up and down.

At the end of February, my husband and I went to a tasting with some friends, to help them decide on food and drinks for their wedding! We had such a good time hanging out and had fun at the photo booth that was set up there!

I included a little Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and of course, I love the purple flower ribbon! I was just waiting for the perfect project to use some of it! I also drew the stitches on the circle...

Materials Used:
Patterned Paper/Stickers/Die Cut: Echo Park's Springtime
Border Punch: Fiskars
Cardstock: Bazzill
Polka dotted stamp: Hobby Lobby

Have a wonderful Sunday!

New Blog Look and Card Patterns sketch featurning Pink Paislee's Soiree

Happy Saturday! And I gladly welcome Spring Break! It's been a hectic semester, but I am excited to say that when I return to school, we will have new computers and they will be hooked up to our new SMART boards! We are such a lucky district, in which voted on a new bond to retrofit some of the older campuses! I will actually be excited to return to school in 9 days!

I have started off my Spring Break with a little bit of craftyness! Yesterday, I updated the look of my blog and brought in some super fun yellows and greys, let me know what you think! And this morning, I created a card for someone's birthday using Pink Paislee's new Soiree collection! Absolutely fabulous line of products!

I used Card Pattern's Sketch 106!


Great sketch, love the diagonal divide!

Papercraft Star Challenge #35 and Cardablilties Sketch #26

Happy Friday to you all!

Today, I took off from work for some much needed R&R! It has been nice, I finished a card, sent in a Design Team application, and a few other things... Hope you have a joyful weekend. We are attending a wedding of some of our closer friends and we are so glad to see them start their new lives together.

I wanted to play along at Papercraft Star mainly cause I really like the theme and the American Crafts products have some super cute stickers with song titles from movies! I knew I had to use of them! And I chose The Wizard of Oz's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Growing up I absolutely LOVED watching anything with Judy Garland in it. I just love musicals in general! :D

Here is my card!


I thought it would be fun to photograph it in it's "natural" environment, my scrapping table! lol!

I also used a sketch from Cardabilities for this card! Here is the sketch.
As Jan suggested in her comment, I linked my project also at The Kraft Journal "Cute as a Button" challenge! Thanks Jan! 

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
