Thinking of you Card ... an embossed embossing technique

Hi and welcome to my blog! I love trying new techniques for papercrafting and this week over at The Friday Mashup they have a challenge for us to try  heat embossing on a dry embossed card... there's a link for those who haven't tried this technique yet.
Here's the info:

 

 

This week's Mashup Challenge:

• Create a project with an "Antique Style, element or theme".
• Create a project using the "Embossed Embossing technique" (tutorial) .
• or Mash it Up! and create an "Antique project using the Embossed Embossing Technique". 

 

I'm combining my card with the current  Friday challenge over at Frosted Designs which is to use recycled materials and homemade flowers. 

 

This is my card for both challenges........

 

 

 

I had lots of fun with this technique!!! First , I embossed a piece of leftover ledger paper with a Tim Holtz embossing folder and then used my brayer to layer some Versaink before sprinking  TH embossing powder in Old Paper and then heat set it. To give it a more aged look, I stenciled some stains and then distressed and inked the edges. This certainly has an antique feel to it already. I made some flowers using a Stampin Up! punch for the larger flowers and my Cricut and the Art Philosophy cartridge for the smaller ones. The sentiment is an oldie from Close To My Heart called Thoughtful Seasons. My recycled items are some cheesecloth ,some dark brown hemp and buttons. To finish up the vintage look, I added a metal key and flower and a few gemstones.

 

 That's my card for today... thanks for stopping by!

 

 

 



Jingle Belles -here we come a- sketching !

Hello! I love to use sketches when I'm making my cards ( really simplifies the process!!!) and Stef over at Jingle Belles has a lovely CAS sketch for this week's prompt. Here it is....

And here's what I did with the sketch....

Once again , I turned to my scrap papers for this card. I still have so much Christmas dp that I can't justify buying new stuff ( oh, but I sooo want to!!!!) . I'm trying so hard to resist adding to my Xmas stash until I've made a decent dent in what I already have!! This sketch is perfect for using up my bits and pieces of paper!! Gotta love that! That glittery green snowflake paper is from DCWV paper pack and the  cardstock ( red/brown) is from Stampin' Up! ( so is the brad) . The snowflake was cut at 2 1/4" with my Cricut, using my go-to cartridge , Art Philosophy . I have the new Artise cartridge from CTMH on the way.... can't wait!!!!  The sentiment is from Michaels' Recollection stamp line.

So that's my JB card... hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for dropping by my blog today! Have a great weekend!

Tiddly Inks digi stamps- Valentine's cards

Hi, I'm back to share with you a couple of Valentine's cards I made using some  digi images I purchased at Tiddly Inks. They have some of the cutest images around and are so much fun to play with!!

I just fell in love with this image...it's so adorable! I'm still learning to use my Copic markers ( no instructor aoround here! ) so my technique is still very much a work in progress. But still, I have fun coloring!!! I used up some of last year's SU dp for the mats and  the sentiment is from Verve's Small Sayings, which are perfect for the word window punch from SU!

This image reminded me so much my eldest daughter when she was younger so I had to have it!!!! BTW, she loves her dog,too! I cut the heart out with my Cricut ( Art Philopsphy), which I then embossed with a Cuttlebug folder, and the bone is from A Child's Year.The sentiment is from a retired SU set called Chit Chat. The cute hearts background paper is from one of my favorite paper companies, American Crafts.

So those are just a few more Valentine's cards I've made!!!

Thanks for stopping by and  have a happy crafty day!

Fall 12x12 layout

Good morning! Fall is my favorite season... I just love the crispness in the air and all those gorgeous colors! My layout is a tribute to the beauty of fall.....

I had a bunch of these leaves already cut out from another project. The leaves were from a cutfile I purchasesd online. I used Glimmer Mist ( Tiger Lily) around the edges and then inked it up some more with Chocolate Chip ink. The base for the layour is Crumb Cake from Stampin' Up! and the strip of pattern paper is from a Colorbok paperpad.

Thanks for stopping by.... until next time, Happy Crafting!!!

Halloween cards

Hello!  Happy Thanksgiving Day to all my Canadian friends... hope you had a great long weekend!!! It was busy at our household this weekend... the kids threw a suprise birthday party for me on Saturday! There was lots of balloons and decorations everywhere!!  Then we enjoyed a yummy Turkey supper with all the fixings .Mmmmm, so good!!!

This window was created from the Advent calender die . The stamps are both from the dollar bin at Michaels and the dp is retired SU!

A quickie card made with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and a label from Spellbinders The sentiment is from  a SU set ( retired) , Scary Skeleton.

I just adore this set from Stampin' Up! Out On a Limb. Lots of masking used for this card, but I think it's was all worth it!

Oh, how easy was this card!! Just cut some strips of scrap cardstock, inked the edges and then "wrapped" the front of the card and a few googly eyes and it's done!!  

 

Thanks for stopping by!

My scrapbooking inspiration.

Why do you scrap?

Happy Saturday everyone, thanks for stopping by my blog today! I hope you're having a great start to your weekend!
I started scarpbooking over12 years ago when I was having my second child. Back then my pages consisted mainly of photos cut with fancy edge sissors ( freestyle, ugh!!!) and matted  on some cardstock , with a few stickers to finish the page up. I look back on those pages and think how much my style has evolved over the past decade... now it's all about the more I can squeeze on a page the better!! But , I wouldn't change those  early layouts on single bit because they remind me how important it was  to record my family's journey in the first place! Over the years I have managed to fill over 40 albums and numerous mini books in addition to the various other papercrafting projects I've made at Cropping events and classes.
While I love to venture out in other branches of papercrafting, scrapbooking will always hold a special place in my heart. I still love to scrapbook and I've made it a point to dedicate some scrapping time each month .... I so seriously need to catch up!!! It doesn't hurt that it's so much fun shopping for all those fun papers and embellishments out there!!!

So I thought I would share a few more pages with you ....

I started this layout more than three years ago when I saw a similar layout at my local scrapbook store. I bought the papers, cut out the rope paper, glued in down and that was it .... until now. The photos of my son's guitar performance seemed just right for this layout. It only took me three years to finish it!!!

I'm really loving the October Afternoon line right now. The 5&Dime collection has a little bit of everything, which I tried to incorporate onto this layout. I pulled so many things for this layout... my sewing machine, the Cricut and even some stamps ( Heidi Swapp) and of course OA papers and chipboard /stickers.

This layout features the travel stamp set form the Summer Mini from Stampin' Up!, which I bought specifically with scrapbooking in mind. I kept it simple for this layout, just a stamped border and tags with even more stamped accents.

I diecut the floral label and coordinating mat on my Cricut for this page with my DD and her BF's.The pleated border is from a recent tutorial on Splitcoaststampers but I made it longer to fit my page. It didn't want to stay flat so I stitiched my green polka dot ribbon directly to it ! Now it's not gonna move at all!!!! I stitched a couple corner edges to the girls pic and used a funky style " Friends" sticker for my title.

I have a bunch of these flowers in various sizes in my stash that really need to put to good use. They actually matched quite nicely with some jumbo buttons from SU's Spring mini. The accents are from Making Memories as is the floral paper which is custom diecut to that fancy shape thanks to my Cricut! The title is made with Thickers stickers. I hid my journalling underneath one photo.

 I am so blessed to have such wonderful inspirations( aka. my kids) in my life!!

Have a great day and thanks so much for visiting..... hope to see you again real soon!!!

Friday Mashup #14 : Vintage Flowers

So, this week for the Mashup Challenge we invite you to:


1. Create a project with Flowers.

2. Create a Vintage project.

3. Or "Mash It Up!" and create a project with Flowers and a Vintage feel!

I often visit this awesome blog but it seems that I'm always a wee bit late in getting my posts up in time , and that was almost the case for this week's challenge , but I did get mine finished just in time.   **woot-woot**

The paper reminds me of old fashioned wallpaper ( how vintage is that!!!) and the fabric flower adds a soft feel to the card front, but I couldn't resist adding some glitz with the rhinestone flourish! I inked the edges of the label  and the inside sentiment tag with Blushing Bride ink.

Supplies for this card:

Fabric flower: Michaels

Rhinestone flourish : unkonown source

Card base: Very Vanilla from Stampin' Up!

Patterned paper: Basic Grey

Sentiment label : cut form Cricut Cindy Loo cartridge

Sentiment: Close To My Heart

Jingle Belles : Lonely This Christmas

Hello and thanks for visiting my blog today!!! I nearly missed this week's prompt at Jingle Belles !!! Tomorrow is the deadline and I'm just getting my card done tonight!!! Stef and Lauren have partnered up with a cool  team, The Order of the Opus Gluei for this challenge so go check it out , but ,before you go , here's my card for this week's challenge. All we need to do is make a card ( your imagination is the limit!!!) and just so it won't be lonely we can make a tag, giftcard holder, box,etc, etc... to go along with it.

I haven't made a card with transparency sheets in so long but I had this dp that was strips of these cool snowman designs and winter-y  sayings and since it is part of my older Xmas dp stash , I decided to put it to  good use for this challenge.  I made the box with my Cricut and Wrap It Up cartridge. For my card I stamped  a few red and white snowflakes on the front and inside of the card and added mini rhinestones to random snowflakes. The sentiment is on the inside only. The giftbox is stamped in snowflakes and I used more of the dp for the band, along with a piece of red cs, punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.

 Now I have a card and matching giftbox all ready to use this December!!  Yay!!!

Thanks for stopping by .... see you next time!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #78 : Wedding Card

Happy Friday!! Just a few more hours and the weekend is officially here...* *woot-woot**!!! I would love to be outside right now , working in my garden ( such as it is!!!) or even lazing in the sun, but the weather is just not cooperating!!! Since it's pouring out there , I decided to enjoy some quality crafting time!! This week at Cricut Cardz Challenge we are invited to make a wedding card.... any cartridge and color scheme. Already there are so many lovely cards posted  by the DT and those submitted. I love looking at the gorgeous creations each week  don't you? It really gets me using my Cricut for more than just layouts.

 Anyhoo.... here's my card for this week's challenge.

I used the bride image from Wrap It Up and instead of using the layers , I kept it as a silhouette image and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist ( Marshmellow) for a little glitz. I sanded the dp ( Heidi Swapp) to achieve the  faded edges. The Baja Breeze seam binding matched perfectly to the paper ( yay!!!). The ring brads are from Making Memories and the stickpin in the bow is from Jenni Bowlin . The kraft cardbase is from a stash of papers my SIL gave me ages ago! Oh, and the sentiment is from SU's Word Play stamp set.

Well, that's my card for this challenge.... hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by !!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #77 : Flower card

Happy Friday! I've got a couple of posts today, since it seems like forever since I sat down to my computer. I was too late in posting for last week's challenge at Cricut Cardz Challenge , but I really enjoyed looking at all the great entries! There is so much talent out there!!!! This week I did manage to get my card done in time and I'm gonna post it in time,too!!!! We are given lots of creative liberties with this one..... we can use any cart, any theme , any color we like as long as we use the card feature. I wanted to use some of my newer cartridges , so I searched through Wrap It Up and found this cute little flower card.

I cut the card at 6 inches using SU's Concord Crush as the cardbase and So Saffron for behind the flowers. I added a little pearl to each flower for a little detail . The sentiment and rosette ( I inked with Concord Crush) are from satmpin' Up! and dp is a piece of scrap paper I found in my stash. I cut the label, for the sentiment, from Just Because cartridge.

So that's my card.... pretty simple!

Thanks for stopping by my little spot in blogland!

Jingle Belles: We Three Kings

Hello !!! Wow, it's been a week since I last posted!!! I had all these plans to get some projects up on my blog but this past week seems to have flown on by and it's Saturday again!!!! But I did manage to finish my Jingle Belles card this week. This week Julee Tucker-Wolek joins JB as a guest designer and she has a fabulous prize for one lucky participant. Go check out her blog ( you can get the link from JB) to see all her wonderful artwork!!


This week's theme is We Three Kings. When I first read that, I was thinking how in the world am I ever gonna find three kings????? But thankfully as I read on , it means that we just need to use three (or more, if your heart desires!!!) patterned papers on our card. Whew! That sounds like  alot more fun!!

My card is pretty simple... I followed the rules : three  patterned papers, all from a really old stash of Doodlebug papers .I used my cricut to cut the labels for the sentiment ( SU) , a little bit of silver cord for the bow and a snowflake brad and that's it!!!! I think it took me a whopping 15 minutes to make this card!!!!

So now I'm off to enjoy this lovely spring evening.... have a great rest of your Saturday!!! Thanks for stopping by .... hope to see you again,soon!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #75 : Masculine Card with wheels

Hi , hope you're having a great Saturday! It's a long weekend here ( Victoria Day) and it's the first time in quite awhile that we're not gone camping with a large group at Ole' MacDonald Farm campground . I'm really missing the crazy chaos that is ten families camping together for 4 days. We moved from Alberta ( where we lived and camped for 15 years!!!!) back home to Newfoundland and even though there are so many spectacular places to camp here, we're not going out this weekend.  :(  My DH leaves for work on Sunday or Monday so we couldn't squeeze in camping this year. I was feelin' kinda blue, but as I watch my kids cruise around our property ( lot's of space here!!!) with their quads / dirt bikes  , I felt happier just knowing that they were content to hang around home this weekend!!! And as an added bonus ... the sun is actually shining!!! We've had so much rain here this past month,  we are overdue for for some nice weather!!! I really hope Slave Lake , AB gets all our rain.... they sure need it right now. The town has been devastated by massive wildfires. Please keep them in your prayers.

Okay, this post is supposed to be about my card, right???  Sorry about all the rambling!!! I haven't played along with Cricut Cardz Challenge in awhile. They've had so many wonderful prompts but time just wasn't on my side! I even got so far as to make my beach card, but I missed the deadline!!! Not this time, although I'm getting close to it!!!!!! With Father's Day fast approaching , and my Dad's bday is in in June, too, I figured that this is the perfect challenge for me to get a card made  in time to mail it to my dad!!!!
I was inspired by Barb's card ... I really love the truck on the embossed background. I embossed a peice of sheet metal with my Cuttlebug folder that looks  alot like a toolbox.

The truck image is cut at 4 3/4"  with the sticker feature on. The sentiment base is the modern label punch from SU!.

I used leftover strips of the embossed metal for the inside to complete the look. The tire rim is actually a small grommet from Stampn' Up! and it fit perfectly !! I used a little splash of red for the sentiment base , with craft white inked sentiment.

Now all I have to do is mail this card to my dad!!!

Thanks for looking and visiting my little spot in Blogland!!!

Have a great & safe weekend!!

Cindy Loo Cricut Cartridge: Thank You Card

Hi again!! I'm back for another post! After I made my Mojo Monday card I looked at the creative mess on my desk and though I really should clean this up or...... I could make another card instead!!! That sounds like a lot more fun to me!!! If Paisley Prints DP ( SU sneek peak ) is any indication of Stampin' Up!'s new paper line, then I can see me buying tons of new paper very soon!! My paper pile just seems to be getting bigger and bigger.... !!! I love the color combinations of this line.... it works with such a great variety of my current favourite inks. I even pulled out some long since retired cardstock, Buckarro Blue, and it matched quite nicely,too!

For this card , I wanted to make a special thankyou card for my  sister-in-law and husband who have so graciously made room for us , each time we visiedt, not to mention all the other wonderful things she does for us!She loves to stamp  and just recently got her very own Cricut Expression,so I wanted to give her a unique card. I combined my stamps and my Cricut for this card.

The frame is made with the Cindy Loo cart . It's the Flower 1, using the frame setting, , cut at 2 3/4 ". I colored the rosettes ( really, it's the easiest thing to do , but kinda messy for me anyways!!) with SU markers and added a little Stickles to each flower for a little shine. The frame is cut out of Cajun Craze cs and the edges are inked with the same color ink. The inside is lightly sponged with Cajun Craze and the sentiment , from Close To My Heart, is also done to match. I really distressed the edges of the DP before I stitched it , and of course I inked it with Buckaroo Blue very lightly. It's matted on Buckaroo Blue , again inked the edges, and finally adhered to Cajun Craze cardbase. The seam binding is Baja Breeze , which I think complements the darker hues of the DP .

Here's a closer view of the rosettes with the Stickles added and the beutiful stickpin from Jenni Bowlin . Aren't they lovely??  I have a small package of them so I'll have to use them wisely!!!!! But I think that stickpins might just be my new favourite embellie!!! I bought several different kinds during my recent trip to The Paperie scrapbooking store last month!  I live over 8 hours away to the nearest craft store so each trip is very exciting.... I love seeing, in person, all the new products! My recent purchases( I must confess I had so much fun shopping while DH waited in the car for me!!!) will have to do until I can get there again ( sigh)!!

I feel so accomplished today, as I completed these two cards and a few more that had been just sitting on my workspace waiting to be finished!!!  Yay!!!

Now, I really should go and tidy up this mess!!! Have a great one and thanks for looking!!

Until next time, ......happy crafting!!!

Cricut's Wrap It Up : Disney autograph books

Happy Monday !!! Hope your weekend was fabulous!!! Today , I thought I would share something I made for my friend's children. They are going to DisneyWorld this week and I offered to make her kids their very own autograph books. I made one for a boy and one for a girl using one of my newest cartridges: Wrap It Up.
Here they are:

I made these simple books by cutting thin chipboard into 53/4 squares and for the inside, I used the white sheets that came in my scrapbook albums( trimmed a little smaller). They are the perfect weight and I don't have to use up my precious cardstock ( I live in a very rural area, so I can't afford to run out!!!). I bound the books together with my Bind-It-All.

I didn't have any pirate DP on hand so I searched through my stampwheels and found this one from SU... it matches the Ahoy Matey stamp set which has been retired for a few years now. It's been so long since I used a wheel on my page! With all the details on the ship , I really didn't need need much more on the cover , except his name, of course!

I really love this Disney paper and so it became the starting point for this book. The color palette is girly , but not too girly! Iused Stickles inside the windows for a little bling and outlined Maddison's name so it would pop off the page .

When we went to Disneyland I didn't have the tools to make these books, now I wanna go back just so I can make them ( oh, and also because we had soooo much fun there,too!!!!!!)!

Until next time..... happy crafting!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #70 : Easter cupcake holder

Good evening crafty friends! Despite all those fab design recipes out there, I haven't felt  like making too much the past week  and what I did make felt .... well, they were uninspiring to say the least!!! So last night I sat down and browsed through some of my fav blogs again and then  I started cutting, and stamping and the next thing I know  I had made a card !!!!!**** woot-woot**** This week at Cricut Cardz Challenge the DT have provided us with a yummy spring recipe ..... we are invited to make a Easter cupcake ( or treat) holder and we can use whichever cartridge we like!!!  I recently purchased Simply Charmed and it has so many adorable images on it!!! I found this cute little chick and I just had to use it for this project!

The little chick, I just love his googly eyes, is cut a 1 3/4 " and fits nicely on this basket cut at 4 3/4 " from Sweet Treats cart. I cut a 1/2 " strip of brown cardstock for the handle and decorated the basket with dp ( Reminisce line) that I've had tucked away in my stash!

The little flower on the band is from a diecut from Stampin' Up! which I dipped in ultra thick embossing powder for an epoxy effect and then added a metal flower brad ( also from SU) to it. I covered the band in Marina Mist grosgrain ribbon and made my own paper shred with scraps of cs and my crimper.  this is the perfect sized container for mini chocolate eggs or even a mini cupcake , if I were so inclined as to bake some!!!

Anyway, now I think I'll make a companion card for this little fellow!! Yup, I think my mojo's back!!! Yippee!!

Until next time.... happy crafting!!

Jingle Belles: Diecuts challenge

Hello all! A week has come and gone since I last posted.... I really couldn't seem to find my creative mojo this past week! Everything I made just felt so blah and lacking!! *** sigh*** Have you ever felt like that? What's a gal to do???!!! Get crafting!!!  I was thrilled to see my blog friend, June Houck as the guest designer this week at Jingle Belles!!! I love checking out her blog regularily ( hmmm, is that spelled correctly????) 'cause she's got oodles and oodles of great projects posted!!! This week, June gave us a recipe for our JB challenge this week to use a diecut ( think Cricut, Sizzix, purchased, whatever ya got!!) for our card and of course she posted an adorable sample !!!
I don't know if my mojo's back, but I am so determined to stick with JB weekly challenges!!!! I love seeing my ever-growing stack of Christmas cards just waiting to be mailed!!! I feel so accomplished already !!!!! :-)
 Anyhoo , back to the challenge; here's what I made ....

Lot's of diecuts for this card! I used my SU scallop circle die for the card base and my Cricut ( George cartridge) for the circle which I embossed with a Cuttlebug  snowflake folder. The tag is from Winter Frolic and is inked in Marina Mist , the same colopr cardstock for the circle mat and all the inking. SU snowflakes die are spritzed in Glimmer Mist ( really wish they would show up better in the photo!!! urgh!!) and I added a glimmmer brad to hide the foam popdot I put on each snowflake. Oh, and of course, I stitched the circle mat and the ribbon.Finally the sentiment is  SU's Christmas Greetings set.

Thanks June for the inspiration!!!!!

Until next time... happy crafting!!!!!

Give A Hoot : Nature Lover birthday card

Hello all! Welcome to Monday, I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Mine was pretty hectic..... my daughter turned 12 on Saturday and she had a group of girls over for a slumber party! A room full of giggling preteens equals one super noisey,crazy and fun night!!!!
Rebecca is a big time nature lover.... quite often she packs her camera and notebook and heads outdoors to enjoy the beauty of nature , no matter what the season. So, for her birthday I wanted to make a card for my little naturebug!

 The Give A Hoot cartridge has  this really neat earth image, all wrapped up in a bow! I cut off the "s" from Nature Lovers . I used my Cricut marker( in brown) to draw the heart earth , for the inside of the card, instead of cutting it out and the greeting is cut from another cartridge, but I really can't remember which one!!!!! I used DWV paper for the background and the cardstock, border punch and birthday sentiment are from Stampin' Up!. So that's my card for my little Nature Lover!!

 Thanks for looking!

Until next time.... happy crafting!!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #68: House card

Hello all!  Welcome to Friday... te first of April ( already!!). Hope you didn't have too many April Fool's Day tricks played on you!! :-) Mother Nature is playing a trick on us with yet another storm!!!!  This terrible weather just gives me a good excuse to stay all cozy and warm inside..... and , of course I'm gonna play with some of my favourite blog challenges,too!!!
Cricut Cardz Challenge 's DT has come up with a challenge to make a card using a house image and lace/flourish . Well, ever since Wednesday I've been thinking about what kind of project I would create. This one had me really stumped, but I don't have much time to play around with it as my daughter's BDay is tomorrow and I have a ton of things I must do before her party!!!

So here's my card for this challenge....

 I used  the house image from April Showers , and the clouds are cut at various sizes from this cartridge as well. For a little dimension, I used Liquid Applique on the small cloud and heat set it so it would be puffed. The fence is a border punch from Martha Stewarts crafts and I handcut the grass. The cardstock , DP, label, lace ribbon ,ink and sentiment are all from Stampin' Up!. The brads are from Michaels.

So there's my card for this week and  now I'm off to make some cupcakes and decorations for my DD!

Have a great evening and until next time....

Happy Crafting!!!

Mojo Monday 184 Sketch Challenge : Round or Square

Good morning! Welcome to another Monday , the last one of this month! You know what that means? It's round or square time at Mojo Monday and designer Teresa Kline has provided us with a great sketch to work with. I always admire the talent of Mojo's DT... they come up with some fantastic sketches and this one is no exception! Here it is......

I don't normally make round cards, as I find them too fussy for me, but Julee Tilman has a post on her blog on how to make these round cards super quick and easy!!! So , for this week , I'm gonna try round!!

It was easy to make!!! *** woot-woot!!***

This is my first attempt at a twisted ribbon rose ( so much fun to make and easy,too!!) and I can see that they are gonna be a fav! You can find tuttorials for this technique on YouTube. I made the frame with my Cindy Loo cartridge / Cricut , cut at 3 inches with Real Dial Size on. The DP is from MME and is soooo old !!!! But I thought it coordinated pretty nicely with  the SU! retired Dusty Durango and Buckaroo Blue cardstock , don't you? The ribbon and pearls and the butterfly sizzlit die ( I used the other side of MME paper for it ) are all from SU!,too. The sentiment is from SU's Occasional Quotes.

So there's my card for Mojo Monday..... hope you enjoy!!!

Until next time....... Happy crafting!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge:Green, blue and white Valentine's card

Hello! I hope you're having a fabulous day! This week's challenge at Cricut Cardz Challenge is to make a Valentine card using non-traditional colors of white, green and blue. The design team sure came up with fab ideas, but I struggled with this one. After searching through my cartridge inventory, I pulled out an oldie. Walk In My Garden was one the first carts I purchased , and even though it doesn't see the use it once did, I can't seem to part with it. I'm glad I didn't , because it was the only cart I could use for this challenge. I kept this carrd fairly simple and although it is designed as a Valentine card , I could probably use it for another occasion as well.

I added pearls to the flowers for a little extra, but other than that, it's a pretty basic design. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart and the crochet ribbon is SU!.

Until next time.... happy crafting!
