Celebrate Your Day

Today's card: Celebrate Your Day
This is just a quick little card using up things I had on hand. My wonderful hubby made me a peg bow maker and it works like a charm, kind of like a third hand.  For those of you that do not have one of those, the BowEasy will work just as well, it's just a bit more difficult.  This was the first time I tried to make a circle with a string of sticky back pearls.  Using the edges of the scallops it was not too difficult.  I used my favorite Dizzy Doily by MFT Die-namics again! I promise to use something else for my next card. The sentiment scalloped circle is from Spellbinders.  The netted flowers are available locally at School Adventures as are the Dizzy Doily. BowEasy and Spellbinders. Stamp sentiment by Papertrey Ink.

Satin Roses Card

This is my card for the Shabby Tea Room Week #67 Challenge.  It had to have checks and dots! Also had to have a pink, green color scheme.  The color just would not photograph correctly. The green in the photo has too much yellow in it. It is really more of a pale sage green. Anyway,  I just used what I had laying around my scrap room. Would like to have shopped around for a different dotted paper but oh well sometimes you just have to "go with it".


I made the roses using satin fabric. I just cut different sized circles and then burned the edges using a butane candle lighter. I really like the way they turn out.  Some satin works better than others and you have to be careful not to set them on fire!  The background paper is from Websters Pages. The checked doily is MFT Dizzy Doily which I seem to use a lot. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.  The little embellishment on the ribbon is from Websters Pages Min Petals Whimsies.
