Best Friends

Best Friends

I hope you are all having a great 4th of July.  Nice to have a holiday and celebrate our wonderful Free nation. Sometimes we take for granted the privileges of our freedom. We are surely blessed in the USA.

 

 Friends sharing lunch, secrets, laughs, ideas, that's what friendship is all about. Sometimes we forget to take time to enjoy friends and family. Today is one of those days when we all get together and celebrate what is important to us all, our freedom.  Lets all remember the men and women who have sacrificed to protect that freedom.

Just For You

This is the my challenge card for MFT Getting Sketchy #24.

I have been trying to use up some of mountains of paper that I seem to have acquired. You know how it is, see it, gotta have it, put it away, forget it..... well this card evolved out of some black and cream paper that I have no idea when or where I got it. Actually I most likely got it from School Adventures (my LSBS).  Anyway it really makes me feel good to use up some of what I have.

The doily is my favorite MFT (My Favorite Things) Dizzy Doily. Spellbinders Labels 20 is the center tag. An EK Success border punch was used for the scallops and circles border. The flower is another of the Satin Roses that I made using several sizes of circles and burning the edge.  

Have a super day!

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.

I Love America Card MFT Getting Sketchy #23

This was my entry for the MFT Weekly Getting Sketchy #23 challenge on Splitcoast Stampers.  I used the MFT Pure Innocence, Love You With All My Heart stamp and colored her with Copic Sketch markers. I cut her out and placed her on the MFT Dizzy Doily. I free-handed the flowers on her dress and the flag within her heart using my Copic Sketch markers. She wears a tiny blue ribbon bow in her hair.  Don't you just love these little Pure Innocence stamps. They are quite adaptable to many different themes. The Red white and blue sticker is from K&Company's Americana. Bazzill cardstock and Jillibean Minestrone Paper make up the card base. White cardstock was embossed using a Cuttlebug musical folder.

For those of you in my area you can purchase all of these at School Adventures.

You can order a nice set of 72 Copic Sketch markers from Amazon.

Honey Bee "Buzzin By"

This is another fun to make card. I am so in love with MFT Pure Innocence Stamps. I have a friend who has honey bees and the honey they produce is just fabulous! This is the perfect card to send her.

The inside of the card just completes the front saying, with lots of room to add a personal comment.

Cardstock by Bazzill, Stamp from My Favorite Things, Pure Innocence Line, Honey Bee. There are quite a few of these adorable little girls and I will be posting more of them soon.  The stamp was colored with Copic Markers and with my next Copic colored card, I will give the color numbers for you. I am getting more organized at blogging with each post. All these things are available at School Adventures except for the Buzzin' By sentiment, that is from Stampin' UP.

I hope you are enjoying viewing these cards as much as I am enjoying posting them for you. I hope you have a spectacular day.
