Hello Friends!
I hope you all have had a wonderful week and are as ready for the weekend as I am! I was able to spend a day with my best friend (my husband) at Disneyland, and we had a great time there celebrating our 21st wedding anniversary! The longest wait for a ride was only 15 minutes, and we were able to go on all the ones that we wanted right away. We went shopping afterwards, and I can't wait to dig into the stuff I brought home! Hopefully, I'll be able to work on a couple of new projects I had in mind for them and share them with you all next week!
In the meantime, I will share a few cards I made today. The first one was inspired by challenge #97 at the Shabby Tea Room. Here's the inspiration photo:
The challenge calls for a project using the colors GRAY (or silver), LILAC, PEACH & PINK PLUS LACE (paper or fabric) AND A METAL EMBELLISHMENT.
And here's my card:
The patterned paper is from My Mind's Eye, and the sentiment and swan stickers are from K & Company. The card is embellished with a Tim Holtz ornate name plate, Prima flowers, a doily colored with Ballet Slipper Shimmerz Pearlz, and seam binding and lace.
The next card was inspired by this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger photo:
I loved the soft, pastel colors so I went with that as my inspiration. Here's my card:
The background paper is actually the backing from a package of K & Company die cuts. It was too pretty to discard so I used it on this card. The sticker and sentiment are from K & Company as well. A heart-shaped doily, Prima flower, Recollection swirls, and a Making Memories metal border complete this card.
That friendship card then inspired me to create another one:
The patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye and K & Company. The sentiment sticker and green vellum corners are from K & Company, and the flowers, swirls, and felt die cut are from Prima. The card is made complete with a length of lace and aqua seam binding.
Well, that's all for today! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend!
