These Flowers are Just for You

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Thanks for stopping by again! I hope you are enjoying your week. It sure has been a busy Spring Break week...made a few projects and bought a new vehicle (that took some time!). Hopefully today will be crafty productive...I plan on making various treat bags and I am going to try making a belly box. I just bought 9 patterns from My Scrap Chick yesterday. I know 9...I could not decide! They were 75% off which made it much more difficult. Take a peek and let me know which one is your favorite.

 

Today I would like to share a card that could be for any occasion, but I was thinking Mother's Day is not too far away. My Mother-in-Law will definitely appreciate it!  

Here is the Mojo Monday sketch that I used.

To make the banner...I adhered the twine along the paper line using a MS glue pen. Then I trimmed the yellow paper into 3/4" wide rectangles. Next, I cut the yellow pennants by hand with scissors.  Finally, add a little more glue and position evenly.

 

Red and white twine was tied around the flower vase. The flower vase was cut from Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge. This is such a sweet cartridge with so many feminine choices. Both Amazon and ScrapbookPal have it available if interested.

Here are some of the cuts available on this cartridge.

Materials:

My Mind's Eye paper

green and white card stock

Kate's ABCs Cricut cartridge ~ vase (p. 54) cut at 3"

American Craft twine

Docerela Creations stamp

black ink

Other Challenges:

Crafty Playtime ~ Twine

Bitten by the Bug 2 ~ Spring Flowers

My Sheri Crafts ~ Celebrate Spring

Crazy 4 Challenges ~ Anything Goes

My Time to Craft ~ Mother's Day

Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend!

Stay Creative,

This Sketch is Just for You

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

I made it through jury duty without being selected for one of the five court cases. Phew! I wasn't even called to one of the courtrooms this time for questioning. I am sure I will be summoned again in a few years. Isn't it strange how some people are called every couple of years and some are never called at all? That would be my hubby. He wants to go just once.

 

Today is a Die Cuttin' Diva day.

The new challenge is a sketch. Give it a try to escape from the regular square or rectangle shape card. A round card can be fun as long as it doesn't roll away! Since mine has scallops it doesn't move too much.

The March Sketch

 I used the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge for both the card base and hungry hippo. All the edges were inked.

 The "Just for You" stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and the distressed ink is Tim Holtz's Rusty Hinge.

Other Materials:

cream and black cardstock

Cloud 9 Design paper ~ Fiesta Glitter

soft orange pearls

wiggly eyes

 

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas for this challenge. Yes...it is a challenge, but give it a try! Check out the design team projects if you need some inspiration!

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
