Birthday Blessings

ETA: Have been asked how I made the flower, it was burlap ribbon. I frayed the end and rolled it onto a Gluber, nothing special.  Made sure the frayed end was the center of the flower.  I hope this helps Christine!

Happy day peeps, well the yard sale shopping this morning was a bigggg hit!  We got lots of great bargains, it was seven of us, so you can say the SUV and truck was full....fun, fun!  I wanted to play along with the Fusion challenge again, trying once again to get the peers votes.  It is not working well for me though...lol.  I must say it is fast becoming one of my favorite challenges...luv the inspiration with a sketch; by far my two favorite types of challenges!  I went for broke and used both the sketch and photo, sweet photo; don't ya think?  I made the burlap flower from burlap styled ribbon kept it shabby looking.  I used the new Verve release set On Occasion.  Hope you Saturday evening is full of laughs...enjoy!

Waltzingmouse Blog Party-Thank You

I am sharing my take on May's Waltzingmouse Blog Party, it is teacher appreciation.  I do not have children, so I to not have a teacher to give a card to; I made a sweet "thank you" for someone special.  I have played along with a couple of other challenges as well.  I adore the pink and green color combo from The Shabby Tea Room...sweeeet!  I used a Bazzil chipboard pennant and covered it with Tim Holtz distressed paint and then Mr Huey's spritz.  The thank you sentiment is from the WM set Vintage Garden Seed Packet, a super sweet set! I am planning a huge yard sale day with girlfriends, I can't wait....woohoo!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend...enjoy!

Verve Diva Dare-Faith Can Move Mountians

The Verve Diva Dare is under way for the month of May!  There are Verve prizes to be won, so you don't want to miss playing along. I went with a favorite color combo and used a sweet printed chipboard star, luv these!  I used a combination of patterned papers with stripes.  The Verve set I reached for was Let It Be, this is a must have set; lots of versatile sentiments and sweet flowers.  I did not choose the CAS option, I did however tone down the distressing and shabby look.  I kept my luv for lace, sponging, and a mixed patterned turned down distressed corner.  I had a blast creating my Diva Dare card, I hope you have as much fun while in your creating zone too!
