An Apron for You

Hello again, Friends!  Today's card is one of my favorite shape templates--an apron card.  Being a cook, I love to share recipes with friends.  This card uses double sided designer paper, a MS border punch, a McGill vintage label punch, a TAC sentiment, and a recipe card template I found online.  Although I have many sizes of ribbon, I come back to the thin, solid color ribbons over and over again.  The card opens so I can put a nice message inside. I will enter it in the Tuesday Throwdown  this week because the theme is "Don't be square!" and the apron shape card fits that challenge.

I will also try to enter it in the following challenges:

Shoe La La

Today's first card is called Shoe La La because a girl just can't have too many pairs of shoes.  The images are from The Angel Company and the sentiment is computer generated.   It will be entered at Mark's Finest Papers/SpeedyTV Inspiration challenge.

Hello Friendly Gull!

Hello, Stampers and Bloggers!  Today I have a card that sends a greeting to a friend.  Even my gulls seem to be saying hello.  I cut out clouds, stamped the flying gull (SU), stamped the gull on the pier (MFP), and added a sentiment from The Angel Company.  This card is based on the Sketch with a Twist challenge at MFP/SpeedyTV. It will also be entered at Aud Sentiment Challenge--for a guy, and Creative Card Crew Challenge--clouds.    I hope you enjoyed stopping by and will come again soon!

Happy Bunny Day!

Hello again, friends!  Thanks for stopping by today to see what I've created to celebrate spring and Easter.  This  cheery little hopping bunny uses one of my favorite color combos--pink and green. How I love this color combo!   A corner punch, a Cheery Lynn flourish die, and a favorite polka-dot bunny image, and some dry embossing through the Cuttlebug were used to complete the card.  I will submit it to a MFP/Speedy Fox and Friends (Bunny or Easter), Alotta Rubber Stamps (Spring), Cheery Lynn (Celebrate),  Cuttlebug Mania (Easter), and Loves Rubberstamps Challenge Blog, and Sweet Stamps Blog.  See you again soon!
