My Girly/Frilly Card

A closer view.

Photo inspiration

Thanks so much for taking time to view my card today!  Hope you are having a good week! TGIF!  It's time for another challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.  I knew the perfect background paper to use for this card.  It is from Crate Paper.  Such pretty little roses!  So, this is my girly frilly card.  When I finished the card, I thought uh oh is this too over the top girly/frilly? :-)  But, that's what I love about shabby cards.  It gives me a chance to add all the fun girly things such as trim, doilies, buttons, ribbon, and gems!  And, it's fun experimenting and learning at the same time.  I hand sewed the trim around the card.  The doily was distressed with antique linen and added pearl cotton.  I added tulle behind the doily.  Gems, buttons, and ribbon placed to finish off the card.  Well, I better scoot here.  I need to clean the house and prepare some food for dinner tonight before the concert.  We are going to see Keith Urban with my sister and brother-in-law.  I am so looking forward to it!  Thanks for visiting here today, take care, hugs!:-))

You're in My Thoughts

We have a gal at work who is on the road to recovery.  We are not sure when she'll return to work, but hope it'll be within the next few weeks.  I saw this darling stamp yesterday while shopping at Hobby Lobby.  I couldn't resist coloring those sweet little mice.  I colored the mice with an ink marker and a blender pen.  I'm sure I'll be using this stamp again!  Well, I'm making this post short and sweet today.  I'm off to the grocery store.  Thanks for viewing my card today!  Take care, hugs!:-))

Hope you all are doing well!  We finally got some relief from the very HOT weather!  We had some thunder storms this morning.  It was actually quite nice to walk outside to put a card in the mailbox!  I have another card today for the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room.  I just wanna reach out and grab that pretty little bracelet from the inspiration photo!  I thought, OK,  I think I have some charms laying around in my stash.  And, I just received some "happy" mail yesterday from PTI and was "happy dancin" when I opened up the musical stamps...la la la!  Ok...I'll stop...lol!  Anyways, I distressed the piano and sentiment with antique linen.  I also used antique distress stickles for the pedals, music folder, and legs of the piano. I prettied up some flowers, added a border, pearls, ribbon, and a little piano charm.  Well, off to do my Saturday chores!  Thanks so much for visiting here today!  Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!:-))

PDCC#90 -Thank You

Welcome Back!

It's time again for another card challenge at The Play Date Cafe.  Such bright fun colors this week!  This thank you card is for a co-worker who helped me with some training at work.  She is so sweet and patient.  So, I thought I'll just make her a card.  Isn't it great to get your "crafty side" on to brighten someone's day to thank them?!:-)) 

I tried to go with the sun idea for this card while looking at the inspiration photo.  The sun  is actually a doily from my cricut(lovely floral) cartridge.  The sun/doily and gold paper was distressed with Ranger(spiced marmalade) ink.  I used a die from MFT for the scallop border.  The friend stamp is also from MFT.  It's a perfect stamp for my sweet co-worker/friend.  Thank you for visiting here!  Take care and have a great weekend, hugs!
