Spring Pastel Thinking Of You Card

I have a friend who is going through a difficult trial at this time. I really wanted to encourage her, and let her know that I had been praying for her. So, what do I do? Make her a card of course. :)

Once again I was inspired for the design of this card from a free printable. I loved the spring colors on this free printable tag, and the soft feminine vintage feel. I found this tag at the Lilac and Lavender blog. Her beautiful blog will have you hooked with all of her pretty free printables.   If your interested in getting the free printable tag I used on my card, then go here.

For this card I used Echo Park Sweet Day paper as my base, and the grid paper is from My Minds Eye, the rub-ons are from S.E.I. The glass gem in the center of the doily is from Prima Marketing, everything else is from my stash. And lets not forget the gorgeous free printable tag. 

As always, thanks for stopping by today,

                             

Victorian Bridal Shower Card

So, I think this must be a record for me... Posting three times in a row! Whoa! What has gotten into me? I would like to share another card with you all today. This card of course features a free printable. I use free printables so often as the inspiration for my cards. This vintage bride image has been kindly shared with us by Karen of the Graphics Fairy. 

I made this card for a friend of mine who just got married. 

I used Bo Bunny papers for this card, S.E.I flourish rub on, and Teresa Collins lace trim. The brown pearls and Resin flower are from my stash. 

I apologize for the poor quality of the picture... I am working on my photography skills. :) 

A special shout out to Karen for sharing the Bridal image with us.

wishing you all a wonderful week,

Whimsical B-day card

Just stopped by to share a Bright Cheery Birthday card with everyone. I actually used a little washi tape on this one. Washi tape is not usually my thing, but it was so cute I just had to buy it... and of course that meant I should use it. :) 

All paper for this card is from My Minds Eye, including the accordion pinwheel.

Yep, I made the pinwheel too. I'm thinking about doing a tutorial on how to make them. It's really very easy, I like to make my own, so I can customize them to my work. 

Please leave a comment and let me know if a pinwheel tutorial is something you would like to see. 

As always, thank you for the time you took to stop by today,

Very Girly Spring Card

Hello  y' all. My how time flies, I can't believe December was the last time I stopped by for a visit. Wow, I got tired of seeing the Christmas tickets at the top of the page, and thought it was time for a change. With the newness of spring and the changes of life, I thought it would be fitting for me to update the blog look too. I hope you like it, and find some inspiration here. 

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my niece Lupe, so girly and soft... 

I used so many products on this card: K and company chipboard letters, prima marketing flower, and beautiful definition tag, Websters pages bloomers flower, S.E.I. rose rub on, and Basic Grey paper. 

Here is a close up of the flower cluster. I cut out a bloom from the Websters pages bloomers ribbon and trimmed it down to size. Here is also a Prima marketing flower, Teresa Collins Tulle trim, and green glittered balls that I cut from a Christmas pick, just to add a little pop. :)

I hope the freshness of Spring is inspiring you to create something new.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
