Paper Pretties Monday

Good Morning!  I hope you all had a great weekend.  Recital was fabulous!  The girls did so well - they looked beautiful in their costumes and I am sooo proud of Hollyanne.  She danced so well!

My camera doesn't do so well capturing movement.  This is Hollyanne is her ballet number, I tried to capture her in the Jazz number, but that was a complete failure.  I don't have permission to post pics of the other girls so that's why their faces look like they do.

Sunday was spent just resting, relaxing and recovering.

Now I know you're here for the Paper Pretties Monday challenge.  So we'll move on to that.  This week we're making Father's Day cards.  So my card features a new digi set by ARTish called Got Tarter Sauce?  Isn't that cute?  I used the Z-Card technique to create my card.  Added some sweet paper and I made a matching envelope (not pictured).

Here's the inside of my card.  Just a simple little message and you can even glue in a gift card behind the image and viola!  Card, gift and cuteness all-in-one!

I hope you enjoyed all that I had to share with you today and that you'll join us at Paper Pretties.  Have a great Monday!

Raisin Boat Friday Feature

Hi everyone!  We're all excited here at my house.  Tonight is opening night for recital.  Hollyanne is anxious and a bit nervous.  She and the other dancers looked great during rehearsals yesterday.

I have some exciting news to share with you all.  It was announced in the newsletter that I was selected to be a Boat Crewmember!  I am soooo thrilled to have been given this opportunity.  I shared here and there my enthusiasm for Raisin Boat.  I think their concept is fantastic - I love being able to rent stamps, stamp all I want with them for a month and then send them back for new ones!  Rubber stamps are so expensive and let's face it we all get tired of them.  Being able to rent stamps is a way to keep your stamping fresh, new and stay with the latest trends without investing a lot of money.

So I created a card to share with you featuring one of the sets I just received in the mailbox.  This is Central Park.

I created this card to play along with a few challenges, too.  Truly Scrumptious (Flower Power).  Sadly, this is their last challenge.  Sweet Sketch Wednesday (sketch).  ColourQ (Real Red, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise) the colors I used are from Raisin Boat and I think came really close.

If you've not checked out Raisin Boat yet, you really should.  Say hi to Kim and Bobbi!

Supplies:
Stamps:  Central Park
Ink:  Rich Cocoa, Tuxedo Black, Pear Tart, Bahama Blue
Card stock:  Brighton Beach White, By the Bay, Sky View, Red Delicious
Paper:  Nana's Kitchen (DCWV)
Embellishments:  flowers (StampingScrapping.com), brad (Bazzil), ribbon (Red Delicious - Boathouse Collection)

MTME Pretty Pattern Review

** Scroll down for Digital Delights **

Hi!  Thanks for coming back.  This week we're doing a Pretty Pattern.  You get to choose which sketch you want to revisit.  I revisited MTME PP #39.

My card features some new images at My Time Made Easy.  Oh my goodness, I am in love with this set.

Meet So Much S'more and Smore Smores digi paper.  I love my card!  I did alter the sketch just a little.  I didn't include the bow element which I think would've been been completely out of place on the card.

Delightful Challenges

Good Morning!  I hope you're all doing well.  Today is dress rehearsal for Hollyanne's recital.  So we're off an running in a little bit.  And a little shout out for my Mom.  It's her birthday today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

It's release day at Delightful Digi's by Louby Loo.  This week we are going to Hawaii.  The challenge at Delightful Challenge is Summer Fun.  Here's my card....

I created a side step card featuring Ukele Lani and the Luau Digi papers & Accesories.  This card was really easy to create.  I printed the digi paper and then cut and folded the card.  Then I decorated with a couple of accessories and Lani on the side.  I made my own sentiment with the only Hawaiian word I knew.

Paper Pretties Monday

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you had a fantastic weekend.  Mine was fairly enjoyable.  I didn't get in as much crafting time as I'd hoped, but that's just how it goes sometime.  I have a short week, Hollyanne's dance recital is the end of this week so it's still busy with a different agenda.

This week at Paper Pretties we're adding one of our favorite embellishements.... BLING.

My card features ARTish's new image, Ladybug Trio.  So sweet....

I found this fun stuff at Michaels on clearance.  It's called Bling on a Roll.  How great is this?  The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches.  Love the blocking.
