Happy Dad's Day!

I usually don't post the Photo Inspiration for the Card Challenge on here, do I? Maybe I'll have to start doing that!! Every month for the card challenge on Scrapbook.com, we have a category called "Photo Inspiration". It's where I post a picture that I took while I was out and about and you make a card from however the photo inspires you.. it can be color, texture, theme, technique, anything!

I found this chair at Anthropology.. one of my favorite stores to roam around in!! Can you guess how much it costs? This lovely chair could be yours for the low low price of $598!! wowzers.

My boyfriend said "I'll buy it for you for Christmas and for next years Birthday and next years Christmas and the Birthday after that!" lol. I said "Ah, that's okay, a picture is a lot cheaper!!"

On to the card!!

 eek! I looovveee this card, like you wouldn't believe! One, because it came out like it looked in my head and two, because I didn't use a sketch for it.

I don't make male cards very well, so the fact that this is a male card AND I love it is a big thing!

I used stretchy denim that I bought a while ago and tried to make it into a chevron pattern.. this was my 2nd attempt.. the first did not turn out so well!! I splattered paint on the card and on the denim.

 I used some burlap and some screen.. you read it right, screen! I added a couple fun stitches on top of them.

 

I used October Afternoon's Mini Market Stickers in Teal & Black for the sentiment and stitched that on as well.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there! I hope you all have a more than wonderful day!

The secret is out!

This card is for the May Card Challenge for Theme, which is Mother's Day or Father's Day & Product, which is flowers.

I lifted Kristine B.'s "Birthday Wishes" on Scrapbook.com.

There is a link under Kristine's card that teaches you how to make this flower.. it's SUPER easy and comes out so cute!

 

I knew I wanted to use yellow for the whole flower but it had 3 different colors on the other side, none of which matched my card! So before piecing the layers together, I painted the other side with grey!!

I found this sweet poem online.. I only used about 1/3 of it.

God could not be everywhere..

Here is the May Card Challenge Sketch for this month.

Feel free to use my sketch for your personal use, but please give credit where it's due, thanks!

 

This card is for the May Card Challenge for Theme & Sketch.

I used Echo Park's "a walk in the park" line & Echo Park's Summer Days on this card.

Happy Mother's Day Aunt Marlo

I lifted this card from Christine Collin's - Baby makes 3 card. I really adore how this card turned out!

I used Fancy Pants Wishful Thinking line, the paper is called Darling.. I simply put the frame around which part I wanted on the paper, but didn't press down. I lightly traced on the outside and on the inside of the frame. I then removed the frame and cut in between those two lines and that's it!

I used Glossy Accents on the flowers and some Shabby Shutters Distressed Stickles on the leaf. I wrapped it up (literally and figuratively) with some Grape Fizz Trendy Twine.

Mother's Day 4 Day Extravaganza!

I've had a bunch of orders for Mother's Day cards, yay! So, for the next 4 days, I will be sharing all that I've made. Infact, chances are it will pour over into next week as well!

These are all for the May Card Challenge for Theme, which is Mother's Day or Father's Day.

I lifted a Birthday card I made a while back for this one.. Her aunt loves bows, so I thought this would be perfect!

I used House of 3 and Crate Paper for this card.

Making Memories Tiny Type alphabet stickers.

One BIG bow!

For this card, I used Clean & Simple #189. I recently purchased 6 packs of Basic Grey's Bloomers for super cheap on ScrapbookSteals.com. They have a deal a day!

I made this Mother's Day card in 2009.

Here is my new one... quite a difference, don't you think?

This card is also for the May Card Challenge for Theme, which is Mother's Day or Father's Day & for technique, which is to make a pocket card.

It's also for The Paper Variety's "April Showers Bring...", which is to create a handmade flower on your card.
