saturday

That nice weather we had this past week is now a thing of the past and we are looking at cold and snow mixed with some sleet this weekend.

Archiver's had free make n' takes starting today so I went and made the card and the tag and then I shopped. They had just got in all the new My Minds Eye Stella and Rose collections and I picked up all 4 of them in the 6x6 pads.

My first card uses papers from the "Hazel" collection. The sentiment is a sticker from SRM "wishing you well", the lace is May Arts mixed with some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon in tiger lily. The stamp is Hero Arts which I also picked up today along with a couple others.

I used this weeks sketch over at Just Add Ink for my inspiration on my card.

The next card I created is a just because card and then I found a new challenge blog called Use it Tuesday and new I had to enter this into their first challenge which is to use a new image that you have never used before. I bought a new Hero Arts  stamp at Archivers today and wanted to play with it...so I created this card.

The stamp is called "large blossom" and I colored it with distress inks and water. The ribbon is my handmade wrinkle ribbon, sentiment is an SRM sticker from the "wishing you well" collection and the embossing folder is SU "vintage wallpaper".

Now this last set of cards is 3 of 5 that I made for my older sister Sharon. She told me on the phone she needs more kids birthday cards so that is one of my projects this weekend.

Isn't that little monster cute? I love the googily eye I put on them. I colored them with copics, embossed the backgrounds with sizzix embossing folders, the balloon is a QuicKutz die that I picked up today. The sentiments are rub-ons by Pebblesinc.

Enjoy!
