My Crafty Round Up

Hello friends.  I've got quite a few cards to share today.  First up is a fun birthday card featuring a group of dogs from Picket Fence.  I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #9: Animals.

I used the colors at Color Throwdown #594 and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #436 to make my next card.  I am also entering it into the Ink to Paper Project Reach Out: Dear to My Heart challenge.

I am entering this next card at Addicted to CAS #185: Rainbows.  I used Concord & 9th Brighter Days stamps.

I am playing along at the Coffee Lovers Hop...maybe for the first time, but who can remember anything these days?  I used Mama Elephant Boba Tea stamps for my card.

Tracey sent me some stamped images from Lawn Fawn's Swan Soiree, and I used them to create this baby card for Lawn Fawnatics #77: Oh Baby.

My next card uses a die and some small images from one of my My Monthly Hero kits.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero #8: Small Joys, A Blog Named Hero May: Hugs From a Distance, and Addicted to Stamps and More #390 (I was inspired by all the watery images).

I pulled out Paper Smooches Baby Birds the other day, and kept them out for a while, where I made a few cards.  First up is this adorable flamingo that I am entering at Seize the Birthday #191: Totally Tropical, CAS(E) this Sketch #373, and AAA Birthday #13:  Things with Wings.

Two more baby birds are on the way to wish my friend a happy birthday, and I am entering this card at AAA Cards #166: Happy Birthday (it's their 6th birthday, and we want to squalk about it).

Last up for the baby birds is a trio of flat thank you notes.  I always like to have these handy, as they are my kids' favorite size for thank you notes.  I am entering these thank you's at the Paper Smooches Thank You Challenge

And, finally, a card using my newest MFT die, Say Hello that I am entering at the MFT Color Challenge #141.

That's it for me today!!

Dream Big....and More...

Hello friends....I have eeked out some crafty time already this week, and will start with my favorite card of the bunch.  The challenge at Stay Crafty with Hero #8 is Small Joys, and I found some tiny stamps in my newest Hero Arts stamp set to use on my card.  I stamped the trio of books 4 separate times, cut them out and stacked them up, resting the little reading mouse right on top.  I don't know why, but I love this card so much (I may never send it out).  I am also entering this card at AAA Cards #165: Up to One Third + Optional Twist of Repeating Image (my trio of books).

This next card is inspired by the challenge at Lawn Faunatics #77: Oh Baby and Perfectly CAS #9: Animals.  This sweet little baby deer is from Lawn Fawn Into the Woods.

Next up is a card inspired by the challenge at Paper Smooches:  Thank You, Addicted to CAS #184: Flower, and Retro Rubber Challenge #135: tic tac toe (die cut, embossing, flowers).  My stamps are Paper Smooches Blossoming Buds and I think they are 4 years old.

Last up is a card using these beautiful Chrysanthemum stamps from Uniko, and I am inspired to play along with Uniko Challenge #59:  Anything Goes with the optional twist of bright and happy.

My Crafty Weekend

Hello hello.  Another card filled post from me.  So many cards and so many challenges.  I'll just jump right in!

First up is this card using some stamps and dies I got for my birthday from Concord & 9th.  I will use this card to send to a friend to let her know I'm thinking of her.    I'm entering this card at Just Add Ink #505 and Addicted to Stamps & More #389: CAS.

Another card using birthday goodies from Concord & 9th.  I'm entering this card at The Flower Challenge #44: Monochrome (I used all of my Copics starting with R3), Addicted to CAS #184: Flower, CAS Colors and Sketches #370, Seize the Birthday #190: Monochromatic.

Next up, another graduation card.  I am entering this card at Perfectly CAS #9: Animals, Shopping Our Stash #420: Oh the places you'll go (my very favorite sentiment for graduation cards) and The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #160: Y is for Yellow (my 'yellow brick road).

Here is another card I can use for graduation or for someone who is embarking on a new adventure.  I am entering it at Cupcake Inspirations #493: Let's Roll and CAS on Friday #180: Use a Die (this card uses 3 dies).

.

This next card is inspired by the Thank You Challenge at Paper Smooches, the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #372, the colors at Just Us Girls #536 and AAA Cards #165: Up to One Third with optional repeating image (my paint splatters from I Heart Art).

It is always a challenge for me to create an anniversary card that is not too feminine.  I think I accomplished that with this card, and I am entering it at Paper Players #499: Men in Mind.  I combined elements from a Hero Arts MMH kit and PTI Gatsby Glamour.

Last up is a card using a fun stamp and die from Hero Arts.  I am entering this card at Stay Crafty with Hero #8: Small Joys (I used the tiny sentiments from Hero Greetings to stamp little messages behind each of the doors), and A Blog Named Hero: Hugs from a Distance.
