The weekend's activities


Who could resist this beautiful spring wreath, and I thought it would be perfect with this sketch.  Initially I had flowers on the wreath but  it didn't work so opted for butterflies.

I think I will also enter it into the Basic Grey challenge - Spring Flowers.

What you need
Cardstock - SU Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink
Patterned paper - Basic Grey Sweet Threads
Stamps - WMS Asian Gardens
Ink - SU Early Espresso
Punches - MS Butterflies, Medium Branch
Gems and Pearls - Kaisercraft


*****

The next challenge I chose was this great PPA sketch and my neutral patterned papers were still out, so I am hoping that my Dad will love this card in September and not think it's too girly - I don't think he will, he is a pretty artistic guy.



What you need
Cardstock - SU Choc Chip, Very Vanilla
DSP - SU Neutrals Collection
Vellum - PTI
Stamps - Wplus9 Woodgrain Silhouettes
Ink - SU Choc Chip, Creamy Caramel
Punch - SU
Die - SB Labels
Ribbon - Craft Supplies
Pearls - Kaisercraft
Glitter Dot - Pebbles

*****



This one is so out of my comfort zone but really wanted to have a go at it.  Maybe Dad would like this one or perhaps my daughter could give it to my husband.  



What you need
Cardstock - SU black, white
Patterned paper - MME Miss Caroline - Dolled Up
Stamps - Wplus9 Woodgrain Silhouettes
Ink - Memento London Fog, Lady Bug
Die MFT tab
Pearls - Kaisercraft

*******



And finally, this one took the longest.  Not sure why as I loved the colour scheme and the sketch from Stampin' Royalty.  Perhaps I was completely out of personal inspiration by then.



What you need
Cardstock - SU vanilla, Early Espresso, Creamy Caramel, Pretty in PInk
Patterned Paper - PTI Dearest Jane
Stamps - Gina K Great Sayings
Ink - SU Pretty in Pink, Creamy Caramel
Die - SB Picot Edge Circles
Ribbon - SU Pink Pirouette Striped Grosgrain

  6. I'm back! I'm so far behind I don't think I'll ever get caught up, but wanted to be sure to tell you how much I've enjoyed the cards you made since I last visited. They are all wonderful!!! And a few standouts REALLY caught my eye, like the one with poppies (I think it was a cQc challenge), that gorgeous one with the corner turned up (just, WOW!), the Sweet Sunday one using Rosie Posie (mind if I CASE?), the fabulous CASE study in pink, black and vanilla, and of course the cards you have posted today. That butterflies-on-wreath idea is fantastic! (Wish I hadn't broken my pine bough punch)--it is such a fresh idea!
