Kinda Eclectic


I found a similar card online and Cased it for my own. I love the sunshine, we get a lot of it here in OKC! I also love a beautiful butterfly. Why not mix them with Calypso  Coral and Marina Mist. Such a pretty color combo! Easy peasy.

CCMC318 - Color Challenge


An interesting and pretty color challenge this week. I started with piece of the Flashback DSP and built my card around that and the colors in this paper. I kept it very simple and made a card to encourage anyone. I love the new arrow punch and love how it adds a little something to a simple card.

Paper Pumpkin Gift Bag

A few months back I got the fun Paper Pumpkin kit that had everything you needed to make 5 gift bags. Well, that is a bargain for sure! Also as a subscriber they allow you to order more parts of some of the kits and this was one of them. I was invited to go to a church in Guthrie, OK to meet with their ladies for their monthly night out. We enjoyed a delicious Taco Salad dinner and got to crafting. We made 2 projects...this gift bag and a lovely fall banner (which I will show later). I think everyone had a good time. I know I did! And I took a friend with me from church. What can be better than meeting new friends and sharing what you like to do together! The kit did not come with enough letters for everyone to spell out hello so I went to my trusty computer and made sheets to punch and use. They have to choice of the word hello or love.

Age Awareness

Today I am 'case'ing the catalog. I am a bit behind and what faster way to make a few great projects and get them posted! It is fun and legal. I flipped over to the fun new Age Awareness stamp set and in the catalog it suggests that you can do all the birthday cards you need for a year using this one stamp set. Well, I doubt I would do that but there are some cute samples there. I chose two and copied them as they were. I am sharing one today and one later this week.


My colors are the new In Colors...Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey.

Playing with the Paper Players


I just love a clean and simple challenge! They are so fun and easy for me. This one is perfect because you can never have too many birthday cards. Everyone I know has a birthday! This one was inspired by the balloons above and the colors of the rainbow. Since school has started and music classes are beginning I was inspired to make a quick xylophone.
