Dreaming in Red & Yellow

Yellow, Red, and Neutral are the colors for today!

I love this color combo & am joining in on the fun over at CR84FN!



The sentiment is actually a wooden embellishment piece from My Mind's Eye - Indie Chic Collection. I used a fun Lifestyle Crafts "Label It" Die as well.

Also, if you like making cards please go and read this post:

Little Matthew wants to give cards to Shriner's Hospital. Please make some and help him out. It's a great way to get your kiddos involved in a great cause as well.

And stay tuned - I've got a new creation for ya tomorrow and HAPPY NEWS to share on my blog early next week!

Yellow and Gray = Happy

Summer is my friend right now. I've got no papers to grade, no lesson plans to prepare, no getting up early, and I can be lazy all day if I want to. It's my fave season of the year!

I'm taking advantage of all of this free time and have been making loads of cards. This one is for the latest CR84FN Challenge. I just had to enter this one after I saw yellow in the color palette. I love everything in yellow.

Here's a close-up! I used yummy Pink Paislee - "Daily Junque" and a Prima flower on this one.

And thank you all for the sweet comments yesterday! :) Be sure to join me back here on Thursday for my new Twinery project!

Polka Dot Pockets

I love the CR84FN & Paper Issues challenges, but have not had the time to play in a while. Well...it's Saturday...so I'm playin' along today!

Fab color choices this week too. I made some Polka Dot Pockets using my fave element...canvas. It's such a natural color and adds a bit of fun texture to any design.

So what do you all have planned this weekend? I have two non-crafty friends that want me to show them how to make a scrapbook. I think I'll take them to Archivers first to load up on goodies. They will be addicted before I'm done with them...LOL

Have a Happy Weekend! 

Authentique

I sooo wish I could go to CHA. Maybe there is a "CHA Fairy" that will grant me my wish one day. :)

In the meantime, I received my Authentique paper in the mail yesterday and immediately wanted to play with it.

Isn't this paper gorgeous? The design includes my fave color "Yellow" too. It's very classic and beautiful. {must get more!} I made my card using the Authentique "Blissful" Collection.

Since I looove {Yellow} so much I just had to play along with the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger - Perty & Flirty. {I really wanna order this coat now} :)

Love the "Blissful" cardstock icons too. Here's a close-up shot of the dress form and the "you make me smile" sentiment. Of course I added a flower and some beautiful crochet lace trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

I'm also playing with the talented ladies over at CR84FN.

Do you have a fave paper collection coming out? If so, please let me know. I'd love to check it out. {I'm such a paper fanatic!!!}

Cardstock (Bazzill); Patterned Paper (Authentique - Blissful Collection - Paradise Paper); Dress form tag, sentiment, and yellow/pink border (Authentique - Icons); Doily (Martha Stewart Crafts); Flower (Prima); Crochet Lace Trim (Really Reasonable Ribbon)

She's A Super Mama!

We were in Michael's yesterday and Rachel picked out some embellies for Nana's Mother's Day card! Since Rae is studying for exams...I made the card for her. There's nothing like teamwork! :) :)

I added dimension by layering doilies, a fabric flower, and the cute chipboard Super Girl that Rachel picked out!



I'm entering this in over at Card Patterns,
City Crafter Challenge, and CR84FN

Have a great week!!!!!

Orange, Yellow, and Kraft Yummies!

Two more work days then we are off for Spring Break. Yay! Yay! Yay! I am so excited that we are having a week off that a big burst of creative energy hit me last night. Here's one of my new cards.

I've been wanting to enter Mona's challenges at CR84FN for a long time.

I finally got a chance to play!

Here are the beautiful colors:



I actually cut out the scallop top of a kraft envelope and added it to the front of the card. You know I had to add a flower as well. :)

I also love these K & Company die-cuts. This bird cage is one of my faves. And it's just the right color.



And since my card also has a shabby spring feel to it I'm also linking this up at The Kraft Journal.

See ya back here tomorrow for another new card! :)

Card Supplies:

Kraft Cardstock (Recollections); Bingo card, Birdcage, flower, frame die-cuts (K & Company); Flower (Recollections)
