Sip & Relax - CP163

Happy Sunday - I hope you all had a great weekend!  Yesterday, my daughter Courtney and I along with my sister, niece and Courtney's friend all went wedding dress shopping.  Yes....Courtney is getting married June 2013.  After 5 bridal shops, she finally said "yes" to the dress.  She looks absolutely beautiful and the dress is perfect! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Card Patterns.  The sketches that are given each week are absolutely wonderful and so much fun to work with - this one especially! :)

DP's are from Echo Park (This&That), diecut, stamps and twine from PTI,
resin embellishment from Melissa Frances, paper flower from Prima, decorative pin from Maya Road.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card.  Have a great week!

Just a quick post and run.....I am exhausted after a day of baseball, basketball, kickball, football, golf and LaCrosse.  Did I tell you, he loves to play with balls?

Enjoy your weekend - Cathy xx :)

BOY - Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger - Sweet Surprise

Happy Saturday!  I finished all my preparations for tomorrow's big Easter dinner, and I thought what better way to relax than to create a card.  So....I went looking thru all my favorite spots in "blog-land" for some inspiration, and came upon Cath's "Tuesday Trigger" at Moxie Fab World, and it was a "Sweet Surprise".

I just love ginghams, and blue is my favorite color, but when I saw this picture, I thought "baby".  The white so fresh and clean and the pale blue so.....well, b-o-y of course! :)

I had some gingham scraps laying around, both ribbon and paper, and those little beads...a jar filled with them that I used ages ago and never used again.  Diecuts are Spellbinders, felt and stamp from PTI.

Thanks for stopping taking a peek - off to post my card.  Have a blessed Easter.  Cathy xx :)
