On My Mind ~ Fusion, JAI267, CTC35

Hey everyone!  I hope your having a great Saturday so far!  I have a fun card to share today...I just love this new set from the 2015-16 Catalog called {That Thing You Did}!  I especially love this saying...it just makes me laugh!  I actually made this card for my good friend who recently lost her dad and I wanted to do something to lighten her mood.  I think this did the trick!  I think you can't help but laugh at this saying!  

I combined a couple different challenges with this card.....

For the Fusion Challenge, I incorporated the inspiration photo colors and the turquoise butterfly, plus the sketch. 

 For Casing the Catty, this weeks challenge is to use the Thank You section of the new catalog as inspiration...I used the the card in the upper right-hand corner on page 13 as my inspiration.

  

Lastly, Just Add Ink calls us to just add typography.  I'd say this saying qualifies!

Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!

Springtime Window - MOJO242

This card qualifies for Mojo Monday 242 sketch challenge.

This sweet little scene is going to be sent to my Aunt and Uncle who recently moved into their brand new house after their old one was flooded in record setting flood of 2011 in Minot, ND.  While they miss their old home, they are thrill with the beautiful new place they have.

 I wanted to keep the card light and fun for them.  I used a stamp set from Close To My Heart called "Flower Pot".  After embossing it with black embossing powder, I watercolored everything in and sponged some clouds inside the window view.  I fussy cut the flowers out and popped them up with dimentionals.  I added the embosslit butterflies, paper button (cut from the buttons #5 die), and a tiny tag to bring it all together. 

I hope my Aunt and Uncle enjoy this card as well as their new home!

Here's a list of supplies I used.....

Stamps: Flower Pot, Say It In Style, Polka Dot backround

Paper: Bashful Blue, Pretty In Pink, Wisteria Wonder, White

Ink: Versa Mark, Pretty in Pink, Bashful Blue (sponging on clouds)

Accessories: Watercolor pencils, black EP, swirls EF, Buttons #5 sizzix die, Beautiful Wings embosslits, Wisteria ruffled ribbon, tag punch, white string, dotted scallop ribbon border 

Thanks for taking a peek!

Mojo 331 Just Believe Butterfly

This card is for Mojo Monday Sketch 231.  I used my large paper doily for the half circle part of the sketch and I must say I'm a little dissapointed with the way this die cuts.....it takes alot of work to get all the little cut-outs poked out.  It just doesn't work they way it should, I feel.  Does anyone else think this? 

I colored the butterfly with chalks after I stamped the black image on it.  I also embossed the butterfly with Glassy Glaze to make it extra special.  Here is a list of the other supplies I used with this card..........
Stamps: Just Believe
Ink: Black
Paper: Black, Island Indigo, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, White
Accessories: Chalks, glassy glaze EP, bigz beautiful butterflies, floral fusion die, large paper doily, black 1/2 pearls, 1/8" organdy ribbon, big designer button, in-color brad, circle punch, square lattice EF, stripped grosgrain ribbon
