Just Us Girls #189 - Color ChallengeHappy Saturday! Today is a special day for my family because my nephew is finally graduating from college today! Mark is such a great guy...full of fun and adventure. I wish him all the best and am so proud of him! Today also begins a new challenge from Just Us Girls. It's a color challenge and Vicki has chosen some great colors.  Here's my take on the colors. The stamped design was created using Papertrey Ink's Modern Basics in Cameo Coral and Sahara Sand inks. I mounted it on Cameo Coral cardstock. The banner is Sahara Sand and I stamped the sentiment from Happy Trails in Versamark and embossed it in white. The butterfly was cut with the Heart-2-Heart #10 die and stamped with the coordinating stamp in Cameo Coral. I added bling to the antennae and some to the coral panel. It's mounted on white and the base is Crumb Cake. I'm going to send this to the mother who chaperoned our field trip yesterday. She was a great chaperone to the kids, and it was nice having her on the trip with me.  I used this Clean and Simple sketch.  The JUGs design team has some great inspiration for you. Check out these blogs.

Some Mother's Day CardsHi all! I forgot to post these Mother's Day cards I feverishly made last Friday for my mom and MIL. This one was for my MIL. I made easel cards because she likes them. She always complains that my cards are too heavy and fall down all the time! So these are the perfect fix for that! The stamps used on both cards are from the Motherly Love set from Flourishes.  This one was for my mom. She loves yellow and I like it paired with the blue. I used two different paper packs for these and don't remember which ones are which. I think the first one is from Pebbles Family Ties line. The second is Authentique's Lively.  I used Verve's sketch for both cards.  Thanks for stopping by!
Just Us Girls #188 - Technique ChallengeHi there friends! It's been a few days since I last posted....busy week! But I'm here with a new technique challenge from Just Us Girls. This week, Tangii came up with a great and easy technique...use some kind of white medium on your creation. It could be white ink, white pencil, chalk, etc.  I recently took another class from Online Card Classes (His & Hers), and Jennifer McGuire made the coolest card with white pigment ink and dye inks. I did something similar with my card. I stamped the solid tree from PTI's Layered Postmarks: Holiday in their Fresh Snow ink. I overstamped the postmark print in Always Artichoke. Then I added too many snowflakes (I never know when to quit!) and used the ink to shade around the kraft card stock. I stamped the sentiment from PTI's Stylish Sentiments: Holiday in Versamarkon velum and embossed it in white embossing powder. I added a couple of sequins to the sentiment. It's all mounted on an Always Artichoke base. A sheer ribbon bow tops off the tree.  You can see more great inspiration from the JUGs DT at these blogs.
Thanks for stopping by! I have Mother's Day cards to share. Hopefully on Monday! See you then!
My Time Made Easy - Year in ReviewHi everyone! Have you seen the new products from My Time Made Easy? You can see them here. Today is our Year in Review post where we use old and new products. I chose to use this new cut file called Tiny Tucker Tab. It is the cutest little box!  Here's the box. It's all one piece, cut from one piece of cardstock. I printed this print from the Bee Mine digital paper pack onto the cardstock and cut out the template.  On top is this bee. I stamped the bee from Bee-Loved stamp set onto the bee cut file from the My Bee Loved cut file. I added some glitter to the wings for some sparkle. I also added a button on the front threaded with some black and white baker's twine.  I created a tag to go along with the box. The tag is from the BFF Valentine Tags cut file. I stamped the flower from Bee-Loved stamp set in Crushed Curry ink, then stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set . I added some of the decorative paper on the bottom and finished it off with some ribbon and a button.  You can see more My Time Made Easy inspiration at these blogs. I also have to mention the winner of the MTME template of her choice: Lori Aragon. Please go the Lauren's blog to find out how to claim your prize! Congrats! Thanks for stopping by!
     My Time Made Easy - Release DayToday is the day! My Time Made Easy release day, and you can see all the new products here. Did you guess what the template was in our peek giveaway contest? Well today we get to tell you that the new template is a grill called Great Grillin. Perfect timing for Father's Day. This is the cutest little template to package up some grillin' stuff. I cut the top of the template from S'more S'mores digital paper and accented it with Marina Mist and Early Espresso SU cardstock. The mits were cut using the Sizzling Servings cut file.  When you open the lid of the grill, you will see a grill that can be lifted off to reveal a box that you can put your gift in. I put some red filler paper inside to make it look like the grill was in use.  The entire team is posting today. You can see what they created with this template at these blogs. Tomorrow I'll announce the winner of our contest from yesterday, so come back then! Thanks for stopping by!
