Have a Sun-Shiney Birthday Card

To enter my Blogaversary giveaway, please go here to leave a comment.

I needed a quick card for my nieces birthday so I used a a simple cut from A Child's Year cartridge. The water was punched from the Fiskars Boundary Waters border punch.
I used some Blue Berry Trendy Twine to create an outline for the swimsuit and added a bow to the pail.   A little bit of doodling with my white gel pen was added to the die cut and my card was finished off with a hand cut flag and a sentiment from Docerela stamps.

Docerela Creations "Color Palette" Challenge

Today is challenge day over at Docerela Creations and we have a color palette challenge.
My card was created using the "Cool Summer" Carta Bella paper pad.  I used the Life Is A Beach cartridge for the flip flops.  Bubblegum Taffy Trendy Twine was used to outline the straps with some bling accents.
The edge of the card was punched with the Boundary Waters Fiskars border punch.  The sentiment is from Docerela "Summertime" stamp set and stamped on a handcut flag.
We have a fun kit available this month which includes the "Cool Summer" Carta Bella paper pad and Docerela "Summertime" stamp set.

My Craft Room

Tara over at Craftin Dessert Divas is having a linky party with a theme to show off your craft space.  I thought it would be fun to join in and share mine.  I use the Expedit system from Ikea to organize all of my crafty stuff.
Those of you who follow my blog are probably well aware that I love bright colors and my craft room is no exception.  I used different shades of magenta throughout my room even though the pictures may look more purple.
My room is definitely not this clean ever, I took these pictures some time ago and have even outgrown my twine shelf.  I have another crafting chair now to support my back, other than that everything else looks the same.
I hope you enjoyed checking out my craft room.  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there!  In honor of this wonderful day I have a card to share.
The flowers for my card were cut from the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge and "Mom" was cut from the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge.  I used Posy Trendy Twine to stitch around my card and added a small bow to finish it off.

Mother's Day Card

This card was created using the Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art cartridge for the word "Mom".  I outlined it with Twisted Lime Trendy Twine.  The twine was also added to the edge of the card and to a tiny folded fan.
The card was embossed with the Darice "Simple"border embossing folder and embellished with some Stickles.  A small border punched with the Effervescence Fiskars border punch was added to the bottom of the card.
We have a Mother's Day special on Docerela Stamps for both the english and portuguese stamp sets.  The word heart is such a fun and unique stamp set, pick them up before they're gone!

Enjoy Card

Today is my design day over at Trendy Twine and I created this card for my project.  I added a clothesline to my card by using both Twisted Teal and Tickled with Teal and anchored it with a ribbon bow on the other end.  Teal is one of my favorite colors and I love it with the kraft!
A doily with a scallop circle embellished with some bling was added to the card.  A heart, tag and some washi tape was used along the clothesline with some clothespins and clips.  The "enjoy" sentiment is from Docerela Stamps and adhered to a washi hand cut flag.
Please stop by the store to check out all of the twine colors and remember we have another fun challenge going on this month.
