Rub-On Flowers and a Sketch

If you follow my blog, you probably know I'm on a mission to use up Table Scraps these days. So today I decided to use some rub-on flowers my sister gave me way back when.

I started with a design from the Power & Spark Challenge at Power Poppy.

Love a Little Neebish Patriotism

Today I am sharing a card for my sister who lives on an Neebish Island and bleeds red, white, and blue.

Paper Ala Mode - Scrapbook Layout

Hello there!

I'm using digital papers from We Are 3 for this layout - Nature Blends and Burlap Beach. For the Paper Ala Mode Challenge this week, I chose Cascading Hearts to use in my design.  First designed the layout on the computer to make sure I got all my hearts in the right place. 

                   

ASAP

How are you today?  Today I'm sharing a very simple card - but beautiful because of the spectacular colors in We Are 3's digital papers.  I love Spring Letters - the colors are truly exquisite that can be used for any occasion.  Love We Are 3 digital papers!

               

Dreaming Tree Notecard Holder with We Are 3 Digital Papers

I'm here today with a super fun Mother's Day gift using Dreaming Tree's Notecard Holder.  I've posted the holders before - but today am showing the finished product with notecards to match.  It was awesome to be creating with We Are 3's Dreamy Creamy Butterfly Overlay.  The butterfly accents look fabulous.  For Ashley's set, I used green (her favorite color).  For Shelly's set, I used other papers from the Dreamy Creamy collection - including printing a Dreamy Creamy pattern on the actual notecards for fun.  Looking back, I should have used Spring Brilliance Shredded Grass to make the notecards for Ashley.

Grandson's Birthday Card - Digitally Made

Today I am sharing a totally digital card for the new challenge blog Digitally Made.  It's amazing how much is out there now to create digital cards and layouts.  This card is for my grandson's birthday - he wants a new lawn mower - of course, Grandma and Grandpa will oblige.

Papers used are from the Spring Brilliance Collection - We Are 3.

Great Inspiration from Featured Stampers

Card made with Table Scraps - inspired by this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers.

Sketch Challenge with Atlantic Hearts

It's another beautiful week here in Sunny Sahuarita!  So today's Table Scraps are some awesome southwest flowers left over from a class I taught many years ago.  Today I thought they'd fit well on Atlantic Hearts' Sketch #209 - to be sent back to Michigan friends.  I was inspired by the sketch (turned upside down) - though any resemblance might be a stretch now.  LOL!

Precious Memories and Sketch in Thyme

I just love Sketches in Thyme.  The site is such an inspiration to so many.  The sketches, samples, and entries show how to create beautiful layouts.  Here is my entry for Sketch #274.

Precious Memories of Summer

I like scrapbooking my grandkids.  Towards the end of an album, I often find myself short on coordinating papers, so I challenge myself to find Table Scraps to that they work well together.

Table Scraps and Neebish Island

My little sis needs cards - so here's the first - of many to come - LOL!

Notepad Holder with Dreamy Creamy We Are 3 Collection

Happy Saturday!  When I first saw the Dreamy Creamy Collection, I couldn't help but fall in love with the Dreamy Butterfly Overlay.  I knew I wanted to play to see how I can use that overlay to fit a project just perfectly.   I chose the latest free file from Dreaming Tree - Notepad Holder.  Wanted more control as to where my butterflies landed, so played around with Print2Cut feature on my eClips - sized the paper and the butterflies - then moved my svg file around the butterflies to get them to print and cut in just the right spot.  Voila!  I love how it looks so much, on my way to make a few more for Mother's Day gifts.  Think next I will try to resize the file to hold some of my cards - then make them to match.  Be watching for them!

Afterthough!  Trying to think of what I will put in the container for Mother's Day - my kids are not card senders, so cards would not be appreciated.  My afterthought is fill it with my own created notepaper to match with butterflies.  Can't wait to play!

Fishing Birthday Card for Brother-in-Law

Spring has sprung!  Are you getting outside?  I know I would find my brother-in-law on the lake during his free time - so today I'm sharing his birthday card.  I used Pastel Burlap (We Are 3) for the background - love how it looks like jean materials.  

Also found if using Color Correction on Word, you can make the "jean" look more or less distressed - kind of fun....but beware, tough to make a decision as to how your want your jeans to look! LOL! Here's just three examples of how one digital paper can have different looks with just a couple clicks on the mouse.  

Down the Rabbit Hole - Card

Paper Ala Mode - Celebrations

Today's challenge at The Outlawz - Paper Ala Mode - is Celebrations.  So I'm celebrating friendship - using Little Angel Friends from Sami Stamps and the sentiment from Drehi is Angels Part 5. I had some fun with this one because it's one layer - I don't often make one-layer cards.  I did from time to time before I knew cardmaking as a hobby!  LOL! Do join the challenge at Paper Ala Mode!

Easter Card - Quilled Flowers

Hello!

Today I am sharing a simple and quick card using Table Scraps.

Paper Piecing with Spring Letters

Hello there!

Today I want to share my DT inspiration made using the beautiful new We Are 3 release digital papers.  Spring Letters are beautiful papers that can be used in lots of different ways.  You can see here, I used Sweet Scents for both the flower and the background on the left side.  I enlarged the paper for the background - and shrunk the paper for the flower - different effects, but well coordinated.  The image I used is Ladybugs by Bugaboo.

Challenges:

•  Perfect Time to Craft #04 - Anything Goes
• World Wide Open Design Team Challenge #21 - Anything Goes

Table Scraps from We Are 3

Today I created a simple flower to add some pizzaz to a journal for my 10-year-old neighbor.  The flower is made from Table Scraps featuring the Inspirational Collection; the leaves are leftovers from the Romantic Garden Collection - all, of course, from We Are 3.
