TSTR Week #68 'My Favorite Things'

Hi there!

I couldn't resist entering the challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room again this week!  I had so much fun making this card!  We were to use our favorite paper and embellishments.  I just kept adding so many of my favorites to this shabby card!  I have many favorite papers and embellishments, but I so love Girls' Paperie soft beautiful paper.  I picked up the doily when we were in Amish Country.  I trimmed it down to fit  the card.  I used distress inks of tea dye, antiue linen, and walnut stain for the lace.  I added batting under the muslin fabric for dimension.  Scor-Tape came in handy for that little task.:-)  I thank you for visiting here today!  Take care and enjoy the rest of your week!:

The Shabby Tea Room #67-'Classic Patterns'

Photo inspiration with yummy colors and patterns!

Hi Everyone!

I'm just getting under the wire here to post this card for the challenge over at The Shabby Tea Room.  Such pretty colors with yummy cupcakes for this week inspired me to make a card.  We are to use the colors in the inspiration photo and polka dots and/or gingham.  I did quite a bit of sewing on this card.  It all went well until the top of the card.  But, that was OK since I planned on adding some lace trim.:-)  Well, I better get the deck swept and some weeds pulled while we have great weather today.  It's in the 70's and sunny; perfect weather!:-))  Take care and enjoy your day!  Thanks for visiting!

Hi Again!

It was time to get out my 4th of July stamps for this fun card for the Play Date Cafe Challenge!  Before ya know it July will be here. We always look forward to a fun summer evening in town along the river to watch the fireworks!  I added a combination of papers and distressed them with Tea Dye ink.  The Cosmo Cricket paper looks like it could pass for fireworks, ya think?!:-)  I added some striped paper and glitter.  A few stars of course, and there ya go for a patriotic card!  Thanks for visiting here today!  Take care and enjoy your weekend!:-))
