May All Your Dreams Come True

I've used Lavinia Stamps' fab image Dragonfly Keepers and used Print 2 Cut to print it on the card shape. Kind of a fun thing with this fantasy genre - no need to color.....it's all in the contrast. I used We Are 3's Under the Sea papers for the front and background. The gorgeous doily is from Monica's Creative Room. I order a kazillion pearls from Amazon - so how could I resist adding those to the lacy front? LOL!  I also used a sentiment from We Are 3's Dreams set.

Here's the front.  I had to actually cut this very thin line up the center of the doily - I am amazed I was able to do that!

             

Merry Christmas

I used paper and embellies from my stash to create a second gatefold card inspired by the card we made in Susan Bossiere's class. 

Here's what the inside looks like.

Thanks loads, Susan, for the inspiration!  I'll be CASEing this design again!

The SALSA Gift Bag Swap

This month at our local SALSA group, we are beginning a gift-bag swap - this month's theme is Hearts Galore. I enjoyed making this gift bag and am pretty pleased with the results.

Fairy Box Card

Here is my design for Get Creative Challenges, sponsored by Nikki Burnette.  Her fairy images are so beautiful!  This week's theme is Bingo!  I chose to go diagonally with Glitter, Printed Paper, and Blue.  I hit the jackpot with all three of these in the dotted blue cardstock - hard to see in the pic, but the dots are glitter embossed!

Be sure to play Bingo with us at Get Creative Challenges!

Catch the Bug Challenge

Love a challenge that takes only a few minutes to create.  The sketch challenge from Catch the Bug is just that.

Christmas Cactus

What's a crafter to do? I was playing with my new cactus images - made a few cards that ended up in the trash. Got up to get a cup of tea - and pretty much simultaneously knocked over my packet of Christmas paper and red bling - What's a crafter to do? Make some cards with Christmas Cacti, of course! Just a couple of quickies.

Florida Move

I love embossed embellishments - and I have just a few go-to die/embossing kits.  These quickly give a plain card a pop of personality!  Today's cards make up a gift for my hair stylist who will be moving to Florida.  I thought they'd make great cards to send to her friends with her new address - but I left them blank since most people just text that info nowadays...they will still be perfect for anytime notes from Florida.  

And, as usual lately, all made from scraps!  In fact, after messing up a couple of cuts, I found myself in the garbage looking for real scraps so all my cards would coordinate.  LOL!

Diamonds and Butterflies

In the true spirit of love, I thought I would make a card with the well-known symbol of love - a diamond ring.  This ring is available for download at Little Scraps of Heaven for free.

Circles of Memories - Scrapbook Challenge #444

Hi, All!  Happy Wednesday!

Today's post features Sketch #444 from Scrapbook Challenge.  Such a fun layout - with photos in circles!  Just had to use it!

I used the title from Miss Kate Cuttables - Magical Words Set.  And besides circles, I used a topper from SVG Cuts One-Piece Boxes.  The hearts are also from Miss Kate Cuttables - Jar of Hearts.
