Thank You

Well, this card is PERFECT for today's post! I would like to say THANK YOU to all of you for all of your support, encouragement, kind words, and ... and... and... You have been FABulous! I have been tickled pink and consider you all friends. Thank you for believing in me!!! 

I definitely owe you some mixed media projects and they will be coming up probably in October. Would you believe that almost every day for the rest of the month I have something due for a design team so I can't squeeze them in at the moment, but I will get you something other than cards very soon! :) 

Thank You

Artful Delight September Card Kit (sold out, but there are a few scrapbook kits still I think!)

Picturesque Cartridge™
i-bond™ by Imaginisce

*Notes: I have NEVER used chipboard that is SO sticky! I was SO impressed by the amount of adhesive that is on the back! Make sure you have it where you want it before you stick it down! I loved it!*

*I also used my i-bond (cordless hot glue gun) to put all of the layers together so that they would stick. When looking from the side, this card is about 3/4 of an inch thick! It's so big!*

Don't forget to let the card evolve into what it wants to be. This card was originally supposed to go with the sketch challenge HERE. I was going to have the leaves pop out where the circles are and put the flower on the far right. Then it just started to want to take on it's own shape and I went with it and now I love it!

Happy Anniversary to my co-parents!

Happy Anniversary to my husband's parents (who I call my co-parents because in-laws has bad connotations and I LOVE them! I got so lucky).

Their anniversary is tomorrow so this is the card I made for them!

Mother's Day Card

Today at Betty Bee's Buzz, we have been challenged to make a Mother's Day card. Judy did a fabulous tutorial on Monday on how to make a three tiered slider card. I didn't have the instructions with me at the crop, so I just made a mother's day card. I still wanted to participate this week though! :) 

This is the Mother's Day card that is going to my mom this year. 

Some cards you just fight with and this is one of them. I was at Monique and Wendy's Crop for a Cure and this is like the 17th iteration of this project. I kept moving things and changing things until I liked it. I do like it now, but it was an ordeal to get here! haha.

• Paper: Echo Park Paper: For the Record: "Lace Strings" (yellow flower), "Advertisement"(black and white polka-dots), "Picket Fence" (teal damask), and "French Teal" (solid teal)™
