Best. Dad. Ever.

A very simple Father's Day card for my husband from his little boys this year - but it says it all. Who knew that the For the Birds set could be so versatile? :) I used the "thanks for your support" stacked birds as the focal image for this card because it just seemed so appropriate... Daddy on the bottom, (little) boy on the his back, and (baby) boy hanging out on the top :)

Best Dad Ever

 Stamps: For the Birds, Best Dad Ever

Colours: Midnight Muse, Baja Breeze, Raspberry Ripple

Embellishments: Baker's Twine

The colours are from Play Date Cafe this week - and I haven't played with them in so long! I was just dying to get back into it.

I could spend hours talking about how amazing Derek is, as a father and as a husband, but I'll spare you all. It all sums up like this: he's an outstanding father, a supportive and nurturing husband, and a kind friend to all (Love you, Derek).

Edit to add: So excited that Derek's Father's Day card got a "Fab4" nod from The Play Date Cafe! :)

House gift box and card!!

Hello everyone,

Today I come to you with my June project for Craft Project Central!

This box is perfect for that friend that is moving into a new home, or for a neighbour who has just moved in near you. The finished size is 4" x 4" so it's perfect for a small gift (like a nice candle!) or some treats (like some Super Duper Chocolate Kisses)

Please visit Craft Project Central for all the other wonderful projects this month - and don't forget; everyone who places an order with me in the month of June will be entered into a draw to receive a free subscription to June at Craft Project Central!

Merry Monday and Freshly Made Sketches

When I saw the Happy Hour stamp set in the new catalogue, I fell in love! I was open to all the possibilities, but I knew the first time I used it would be for a Christmas Card.

Christmas Cheer

Previously, I had only owned one Christmas set and I didn't want to keep making the same card, so I didn't participate with the Merry Monday challenge created by Lesley. Alas, now that the new catty is out (and I've had a sneak peek at the Holiday catalogue coming out in August) I know that I will have a surplus of holiday cheer to choose from :)

Here's this week's Merry Monday sketch.

I also played along with Freshly Made Sketches to make this pretty little birthday card for my sister-in-law who turns 30 today. I LOVE the Stippled Blossoms set SO much. I knew it was pretty... but I didn't know how pretty it was until I actually used it. For this one, I used Primrose Petals on the bottom layer of the flower and Raspberry Ripple on the top. For the leaves I used Lucky Limeade on the bottom and Gumball Green on the top.

Birthday Wishes

Here's the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.

I have some cute Father's Day cards to share as well, but I'll wait for tomorrow for those :) 

Edit to add: So excited that my SIL's birthday card got a "Perfect Princess" nod at the Freshly Made Sketches - Thank you! :)

Get out your snips!

Hello friends!

Here it is; my first time hosting the challenge at The Friday Mashup! as a designer. I'm really excited about this one, not only because it features some bright, fun colours, but also because it showcases one of my favourite techniques - paper-piecing.

Support

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project using the " Paper Piecing " technique.
2. Or Make a project using " Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight & Pool Party ".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a " Paper Piecing Project using the above colors."

If you've never tried paper-piecing before, do give it a go! A tutorial can be found on The Friday Mashup! "Mashup Tutorials" page along the top header. Each time there is a technique as part of the mashup challenge, one of the design team members will create a Friday Mashup tutorial for you to follow along!

Can't wait to see the fun, patterned-filled project you come up with this week! :)
