birthday wishes - CR84FN21 and Birthday Sundaes 2

Just a quick post and run!  Monday's are always a very busy day at work, and I'm exhausted, but I really wanted to get this card made and not miss the deadline like last week! :)

This card was created based off of this weeks elegant color scheme at CR84FN - Garnet, Chartreuse and Cream.  Again, color's I haven't worked with before - so somewhat challenging! :) I am also entering this card at Birthday Sundaes - Spring is the theme.

DP's from MME and October Afternoon, stamp from Hampton Art, ribbon, button. twine and sentiment from PTI, Copics, misc. paper doily, rhinestone adhesives and journal spot.

Thanks for taking a peek - have a super week!  Cathy xx :)

farm fresh Eggs - The Kraft Journal - Oh baby, it's Spring!

Oh baby, it may be Spring, but I'm not feeling it yet here in Chicago! Atleast the sky is blue and the sun is shining - but very deceiving!  It's cold outside. 

This card was created based off of this week's challenge at The Kraft Journal - "Oh Baby - It's Spring!"

DP's from Girl's Paperie, diecuts, twine, buttons and mason jar/sentiment from PTI, chicken stamp from Stampin' Up, misc. Raffia and seam binding ribbon.

Thanks so much for taking a peek - hope you are enjoying your Sunday - Cathy xx :)

Blessing - CR84FN20 and CP108

Hey....it's me again!  My Grandson will be here in less than an hour, and I wanted to get this card completed!  Hopefully, I will get one more in before he arrives and then it's off to the tune "Of The Wheels on The Bus" (his favorite)! :)

This card was created off of this week's beautiful colors at CR84FN and Card Patterns sketch.  The two fit perfectly together, so voila' my creation! :)  **I just realized I missed the deadline at CR84FN! :(

DP's and pin from K&Co., stamped sentiment from PTI, paper flower from Prima, misc. pearl adhesives altered with Copics and seam binding ribbon.

Off to post my card before "the little guy" arrives!  Thanks for taking a peek - Cathy xx :)

Thank you - PDCC74

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you!  I'm starting early this morning....we have our Grandson for a sleep over tonight, so I won't have anytime to create later. :)

This card was created based off of PDCC's photo/colors for inspiration.  Such beautiful colors....I would love to sit in that lovely scene with a cool glass of iced tea with a slice of lemon!

DP's from Jenni Bowlin and Fancy Pants, diecuts and stamps from PTI and Spellbinders, twine from The Twinery, Copics, flower from Prima, misc. paper doily, pin and butterfly charm.

Let's play Bingo with The Shabby Tea Room #54

It's Monday and it's time to play B-I-N-G-O with The Shabby Tea Room.  What fun - there's something for everyone! :)

The idea of this week's challenge is to following the Bingo card pictured and include three of the items listed in a row...up/down, left/right or diagonally.  I went with gems, flowers and diecuts.

DP's from Girl's Paperie, mason jar, decorative border punches, twine and buttons from PTI, Copics, misc. tulle and paper doily.

Thanks for taking a peek - have a great week!  Cathy xx :)

Happy Birthday - Birthday Sundaes 1

There's a new blog on the block.....Birthday Sundaes!  This week is "Anything goes", but to make sure you include a birthday sentiment on your card.  One can never have enough birthday cards, and the fun thing about it is you can cover just about everything under the sun from Mom to Dad - boy to girl - Grandma to baby!  How fun is that! :)

This card was created using the new line from Girl's Paperie - Kitsch.  I just love these yummy papers and I will be going back for seconds and possibly thirds! :)  Cardstock, twine, banner diecut and stamped sentiment from PTI, paper flower from Prima, paper doily from Martha Stewart, misc. trim, buttons and shabby seam binding ribbon.

Off to post my card! Thanks for taking a peek and have a wonderful Sunday!  Cathy xx :)
