Elephants, Hooray!

Happy Wednesday!  

Today I have a little card to share that I made using some simple dies I ordered from Avery Elle.  I gave you a sneak peek over on my Facebook Page a couple of weeks ago, and oh my has the time flown by!  Be sure to like my page to see my sneaks!  :)

This card uses just a POP of color from the Close to My Heart Adventure Fundamentals paper that is retiring this month.  I used a gold foil from my stash for the starry circles die from Avery Elle...

Oh my word, could this little guy be any cuter???  He is sporting the shades of the Copic Toner Greys. That "hooray"word die is also from Avery Elle.  I lined the inside of my card with a piece from the Uptown Fundamentals so just the gold foil would show through...

I love the way it turned out, and it was pretty quick!

A Lawn Fawn Cheerful Get Well Challenge

Hi friends! 

I made this adorable little card for my aunt who is bravely fighting cancer and receiving chemo for yet another week this time around.  I am doing my best to write her more now that the summer leaves me with a bit of free time.  I'm linking this one up with the Lawn Fawnatics Get Well Challenge...

This was a super easy shaker card to put together.  I used the Get Well Soon and On the Mend stamps and dies, Into the Woods sequins, Lobster Ink Pad, and a rainbow plaid paper pack that I adore...

These images are pretty easy to color with ShinHan Touch Twin and Copic markers.  I also added some flags using Willow and Sea Glass CS (on sale NOW!!!), along with a spotted purple paper from the Fundamentals Adventure Paper.

I set up my foam tape like this in order to make the shaker feature...The die I used helps me to line up the foam tape on the edges of the heart...

This heart Thin Cuts I used was from Close to My Heart, but is not currently available.  It includes an outline of the heart that I was able to use on the inside sentiment...

Thanks for taking a look!

Fundamental Friday Layout!

Happy Friday!  Today is also a FUNdamental Friday on which I share a new creation with these FUNdamentally versatile papers from Close to My Heart.

I just adore this cutie pie...and the layout isn't bad either!  ;)

I used several strips in various widths of the Adventure Fundamentals as well as the coordinating Good Life Complements...

Keeping it Simple!  :)  Enjoy the weekend!

Still available!

Only in January!

Jeepers! Just Two Days!

Jeepers Creepers has been such a fun paper packet to use, I had to show you these last few layouts I made with it before time runs out to get yours in two days!  It is SO much more than Halloween!

I was able to use the cute little monster zip strip matted with some Emerald CS in this one too...

This next layout has baptism pics just to show how versatile this paper really is...definitely not JUST for Halloween!

Adding a strip of ribbon from the Rustic Home Pack adds some texture and pattern...

Bathtime can even be captured with the great patterns in Jeepers Creepers along with papers from the Adventure and Enchantment Fundamentals papers...

Those waves are found in the Baby Boy Complements...

Make sure you grab your pack of Jeepers Creepers before they are gone in two days!  :)

A Fundamentally Purrr-fect Birthday Card

Fundamental Friday has quickly become one of my favorite posts so I hope it is one of your favorites too!  This card is just too stinking cute for words if you ask me...that cat! 

I used the current Stamp of the Month from Close to My Heart...Purr-fect Halloween and the cute little size M Bitty Birthday sentiment along with a GREAT little wagon cut from the latest Cricut Cartridge...Flower Market!

The cat is stamped on the Adventure Fundamentals paper in Tangerine.  If you aren't into coloring images, patterned paper is definitely the way to go!  ;)

These products are BOTH on special this month from Close to My Heart, so don't wait to check it out!

FREEEEEEE!!!

A Freshly Made Present

My dad's birthday is tomorrow...and his card is just going in the mailbox tomorrow too, ooops.  I sure am glad it's the thought that counts!  I'm also thankful for my phone, lol.  I went back to work this week, but I was finally able to squeeze in some time to make his card this weekend using the super-fun sketch this week over at Freshly Made Sketches.

His favorite color is orange!  :)

I used the new Adventure Paper Fundamentals from Close to My Heart for this one...the new colors Tangerine, Emerald, and Lemon really pop!  The bow is cut from the new Cricut Flower Market Collection and the sentiment set in white embossing powder is included in the same set.  I hardly EVER stamp a sentiment in inks other than black, so this was a fun change of pace!  I added a bit of twine to the gift for another fun detail.

I love how the present works perfectly with this week's sketch!  Thanks for popping in to see!  :)
