Inspiration from a Kleenex box

Today you are going to learn something new about me. I can be like Martha Stewart sometimes in the way I like things to match. I had horrible allergies this spring and was using tissues all day long. I needed a box to have in the car. I was shopping at Wal-Mart and had to pick a decorative Kleenex box to match my car. My car is dark gray with a medium gray interior. This box looks amazing in my car. I was on my way to my mother's last night I glanced over looking at the box on the seat. I thought to myself what a great color combination for a card - gray, denim, light & dark blue, turquoise, and pale yellow. My mind started working.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on Fiskars new Threading Water punch. I used that on the edge of this card and layered a narrow piece of pale yellow cardstock behind it. The leaves were done with my Sizzix. I cut out the leaves from dark cardstock first for the background shadow and then cut them on light blue and used the diecut to layer over the background. The patterned denim paper (Hot Off The Press) I've had for like 5-6 years and never used. It finally came in handy! The flowers are from Prima and Bazzill with a button in the center from Doodlebug. The cardstock is from my favorite company, Stampin' Up! Their cardstock is by far, the best I've ever used.

I hope your weekend was fun and you had time to create.

Take care and God bless!

Back from CKC Buffalo!

Hello all! I had a great time in Buffalo today at CKC. Very fun!!! I took a class sponsored by Paper Crafts Magazine called Pocket Full of Cards. The class taught how to incorporate pockets in your cards. Very clever, let me tell you! Here is a peak at one of the cards we made.

I would love to share more, but I'm exhausted. When I got home, my husband was spreading woodchips and had to leave for work. He wasn't done and it's supposed to rain tonight. Guess who got to finish? ME! I am not a fan of gardening work whatsoever. I'm already starting to feel sore. More tomorrow!

Oh, have you noticed anything different on my blog??? It has to do with my announcement I mentioned the other day. I'll tell you tomorrow.

Good night!

My baby!

I got my pictures back yesterday of my baby that were taken a few weeks ago. He's growing up fast!!! I still like to call him my baby even though he is a full blown toddler.

We are going to visit family this weekend and he'll have a blast playing with his 5 & 3 year old cousins. I'm sure it will give me lots of scrapbooking material!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend & I'll be back next week.

Be safe and God bless!

Camping with Riley

Good morning! One more day until the long weekend. I can't wait! I am going to visit family over the weekend. It should be a lot of fun and the weather is looking good.

I had some leftovers from my layout I posted the other day so I thought the paper would work perfect with this Riley stamp. I may use this card for a Father's Day card. We have a firepit in our backyard that we love to sit around and roast marshmallos. I love the burned ones! How about you?

Have a super day! God bless!

I got a little monkey on the mind!

My husband drives me crazy from time to time. Men and women are so different! All in all, I do love him. I am always making cards for other people and he kinda gets left out. Not tomorrow! I am going to leave this for him on his desk tomorrow morning. The front reads "always on my mind" and inside "forever in my heart". I think he'll appreciate it especially since we haven't been on the best of terms this week.

The stamps are Changito from Stampendous and phrase from SU! Always. Punches are SU! Patterned paper from Reminisce. The card size is a little one, 3 x 3.75. Cards come in all shapes and sizes so try playing around with different dimensions!

I hope your week is going well! Enjoy!
