Embellish Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge

Hi sorry not post for a whole. I am recovering from my baby shower last Saturday. We had so much fun. Thank you my dear friend, Allison and Kerry for a great great great party. We are so blessed.

I just realized that I forgot to [post this card. It's been sitting on my desk for a while. Got to post it before the deadline. I made this card for Embellish Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge. Also got my new Spellbinder dies arrived at my front door. Got to open the package right away.

Here is the inside of the card.

Thanks for looking.
Happy Friday tomorrow.

Wedding cards

Got my Waltzing Mouse stamps in the mail box yesterday. Can't wait to play with them. I use Very Vintages Labels NO10 pair up with Spellbinders Label 10 dies and sentiment from Hero Arts AR141 Cherish set to make 2 wedding cards for Paper Crafts April 2011 Gallery Challenge.

First one (Sorry for a poor quality photo. The light is not my friend today. Hard to get a clear shoot.) I run a light pink card base through a Sizzix emboss folder. Adhere doily and black ribbon. Adhere die-cut black label. Die-cut white scallop circle, stamp sentiment and clear emboss. Stamp swirl and adhere on card with foam tape. Adhere gems.Pink and black what a beautiful color combo.

Second one, use the same card base and doily. Tie on ribbon. Stamp frame and sentiment on cardstock, die-cut and adhere on card with foam tape. Adhere roses.
Love the soft tune on this card. Which one do you like?

WMSC43+CTD137

Hi, how is everyone's weekend going?　We had a very productive one. Even thought it's not craft related, I have no complain at all. We finished some project for the baby and the extra storage shelf in the kitchen that I always wanted. Hubby even found some time to have his golf in 2011 when I spend my time if the craft room. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Just want to share a card really quick I made for WMSC43 and CTD137.

Stamp:flowers from CG290 Four Flowers and Sentiment form CL514 Life of the Party Birthday both from Hero Arts (I cut the sentiment in half to rearrange them on the acrylic block.) Pattern paper is from BasicGrey.

 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend.
