Clownin Around

Thought I'd share a layout I finished using Treasure Box Designs cutting file "Clowin Around".

Click on the picture for a closer look!

I embossed the icing on the cake with the cuttlebug and "stickled" the streamers.  Love that clown!
(oh shoot!  I'm missing a purple stickled streamer in this picture   It is now on the layout IRL....between Birthday Girl and the mat underneath it.)

Pink Orange Aqua Challenge

There's a color challenge going on over at The Pink Elephant!  Make a project using these three colors - PINK, ORANGE, AQUA.

I never would have thought to use those three colors together but once I pulled out the papers I loved the look of them!!

Here's a Valentine's card I made using the colors!  I stamped the "I" and "U" in aqua, cut them out then "stickled" them in orange stickles!  (My card is aqua but kinda looks green in the pic.  I think its because the card is glossy)

Enjoy!

Dress Up Those Trees!

Here's my card for the "Dress Up Those Trees" challenge at Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential.



Seeing how we are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend I thought I'd create a "thankful for" card. This card will go on my table and just before the meal is served we will all write, on the inside of the card, what we are most thankful for. Hmmm, this could become a family tradition!

The left side of the card is embossed with the D'vine Swirls embossing folder, then inked. The paper on the right side is from Deja Views Home For the Holidays collection. The tree stamp is from imaginisce and the sentiment stamp is from inque boutique.

Now the BEST part. I decorated my tree with STICKLES to create some gorgeous fall leaves! I am So addicted to those little bottles of glittery glue! If you haven't tried them yet, be sure to pick up a bottle soon and give them a whirl. You too, will be addicted!











Happy Thanksgiving.

Wishing you........

GOOD MORNING! I love Sunday mornings. Everything just always seems to be so peaceful. Most Sunday mornings (September - May) my sister and I go online and chat! She lives 3000 miles away from me so the internet makes it so much easier for us to chat and share creative ideas! (morning Sis - I know you're up and wanting to talk!!)
The above card was made with patterned paper, lime green cardstock (my fav color), some ribbon, flowers, My Sentiments Exactly stamp, bling and stickles! I filled in the flowers on the patterned paper with silver stickles rather than bling (which I used on the fabric flowers).
TIP: When using stickles if you give the underside of the paper a couple flicks with your thumb/index finger the "points" left by the stickles will settle down and looks more even and a lot nicer!

Another reason I love Sundays is the traditional Sunday Dinner! A big meal to end the weekend/start the week, with a yummy dessert is always looked forward to! I think today I'll make a lemon meringue pie - YUM - to go along with my pot roast!

Enjoy your day!
