It seems my scrap pile is higher than my unused paper pile. So I decided to do something about that… I used some of my scrap paper to participate in Card Patterns Sketch #8. The colorful polka dots on the patterned paper seems as if they’d go with a “happy” theme so I used the familiar “Don’t Worry Be Happy” saying.
Well, I’m off to use more scrap paper. Until next time…

This week I decided to participate in one of the Cuttlebug challenges at The Cuttlebug Challenge Spot. This week’s challenge was to use the ever so popular cupcake as part of the design.
I LOVE making shaped cards so I chose to do a Cupcake shaped card and use the Cuttlebug embossing on the frosting as well as the cupcake wrapper (pretty hard to see with the patterned paper)…
The cupcake was cut with my Pazzles machine using the DB Love Pastries font. This was a fun challenge especially since I use my Cuttlebug on most of my cards.
Until next time,

This is the third card in as many weeks that I made with this design. Why…??? Well, number one, I like the design. And number two, the original design of this card didn’t quite turn out the way I envisioned. So in cases like these, I always go back to the FAMILIAR.
That's another card down with more to come.

Well, I had a request to duplicate a few of my cards. I’m only posting one of the three because the other cards were the same as the original (same paper, same embellishments, same sentiment…). For the dress card below, I changed the paper and embellishments. This is such a fun card to make. The dress is cut from the DB Sweet Baby Clothes font.

Here’s a simple little birthday card for my friends son. It’s such a struggle to do masculine cards, but I think this paper looks really “boyish”… Anyway I used the Cuttlebug for the top part of the card and I used the Freedom pattern from the Crate Paper (Hampton Collection)… The star was cut from a pre-loaded Pazzles shape… And I added a little jute around the star…
Until next time...

This is cool! I log on to my computer and I have a blog award given to me by Jess. I love her work and I'm sure you will too. Check her out @ Basic Jess. You're sure to love her style.
Well, I have the honor of acknowledging ten of my favorite blogs.

I was asked to make a new baby card so it was off to the sketch sites for some inspiration. I found a great sketch on the Card Patterns Sketch Blog and decided to use it for my card. Two birds… One stone.. (right Kay???) ;-)
Enjoy…
