Happy Friday!

No new card to display! I am waiting to get my key ingredients kit from Taylored Expressions and I know that I'll be crafting something once it arrives!  Summertime is so busy!!

I've been trying to read as much as possible and my list of books to read is unending. But that's okay! :)

Have a blessed weekend!

Blog Hop Fun

Welcome Blog Hoppers! I'm excited to be joining again in Taylor's Blog Hop! I used a cute ice cream cone from her Sprinkled With Love stamp set. I purchased it at CHA in January and use it often.  It has a
lot of cute images and sentiments in it.

The sketch that I used is a modification of TESC 111.

I only used red from the color palette as I couldn't seem to get the hang of using the other colors with what I was wanting to make. I'm very much a beginner!!

Here's the Recipe:
Paper: Real red, black and white cardstock (SU)
Ribbon: bargain bin at Borders bookstore (after Christmas find!)
Other: Oval and Scalloped Oval nesties, white gel pen, Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder, corner rounder punch, ek border punch.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Hopping!

Birthday card

TE Blog Hop

I made this card for my brother who's graduating next week from Medical School! I'm so proud of him and all that he's accomplished! I used the sketch below from Taylor to do the card because I thought it would look great with the stamps from The Places You'll Go set.  I used SU colors: Not Quite Navy card base and matting, topped with Always Artichoke. I used two cuttlebug folders on Bashful Blue and Close to Cocoa. I stamped the image and sentiment in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored the image with prismacolor pencils. Then added some bling and called it done.
