Boo To You!

Happy Monday! I'm really dragging since the weekend! I thought my dentist appointment was this morning and showed up at their office bright and early at 8 am only to find that my appointment is TOMORROW! That hasn't happened ever!

That's ok because getting up early gave me more time to get to work on other things! Today I'm playing along with Send A Smile 4 Kids Challenge where they're looking for Halloween cards for kids!

This card starts with an inked stenciled cloud panel in yellow orange and purple. I splattered it with some blue to add a little more color and contrast.

Next I die cut a circle from the cloudy panel and added an inky yellow splattered panel underneath. That helped me with the placement of the Happy Halloween sentiment stamp.

All that was left was to ink color and die cut that fun bear and bats from the Waffle Flower

I hope your smiling and that you find some time to play today!

Baseball Dad

Today I'm playing along with the Sisterhood of Crafters where this time it's all about the die cuts! I LOVE die cuts!!! I think that they are my number one favorite craft item ever!

This one is for the boys! It starts with the Dashed Rhombus panel die that I cut from light aqua cardstock and then inked with the Two Step Rhombus Stencil in darker shades of ink.

Next I added a die cut Wooden Frame to create a focal point and then added the baseball bat, ball and hat from the Baseball Dad die set.

The sentiment is from the #1 Dad stamp set.

I love how all the different elements come together to make this a perfect card for the #1 Dad in your life. I can picture my Dad painting the trim on the house, or waxing the car and listening to the baseball game on his portable am radio.

Baseball season is coming to an end but I'm still rooting for the home team!

Fluttering By To Say Hello

Wow this week is just flying by! LOL! Today I'm playing along with Freshly Made Sketches where this is the sketch this week...

I love that fall leaf but I'm not ready to give up on the warm weather yet so I substituted it with BUTTERFLY!

I started with a watercolor rainbow background - I used my Distress Ink refills for the colors so they're nice and BRIGHT!

Next I die cut the butterfly shaker element and stamped the sentiment before running the panel through my die cut machine to add the 'X' texture to the design.

To make the layers even more tasty I added a stitched die cut background under the shaker. It was hard to photograph the white on white, but if you look close it's there!

This one is really clean and simple, but has all the little extras I love in a layered card.

I hope you have a great day and that you find some time to play!
