Tag Wall Calendar

Hello! Happy Monday! Thanks so much for all the comments and emails from my last post.  I just love my super fabulous blog friends!

The Twinery and My Little Shoebox Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to The Twinery and My Little Shoebox blog hop event.  All week, designers from both teams will be showcasing these products together.  I just know you will be inspired by all the wonderful things everyone came up with to share with you.

You should have come here from My Little Shoebox blog.  If not, and you want to start at the beginning, head on over to The Twinery blog!

Here are a few cards I made to share today.   LOVE:  The first card was created by folding the round scalloped Lovely Day-Flower Ring Circle paper in half and then cutting it in half the other way and trimming the side.  I used several flower stickers from Lovely Day to add along the top of the card and then I added the large flower (that I made by stacking two Happy Go Lucky 3D Roll Up flowers).  Each of the smaller flowers has a small twine circle layer in the center (Pink Sorbet, Buttercreme).   I added some Buttercreme yellow inside the larger flower.  The labels (Lovely Day Sticker sheet, and Lovely Day New Story) are stacked up to create the background for the sentiment.  I inked all the edges of the card with Distress ink.

 

HI:  The next card uses more stickers from Lovely Day. I layered the stickers over the patterned paper (Lovely Day: Let the Sun Shine) and ran some Charcoal and Pink Sorbet baker's twine up and over the layer to "hang" the birdcages.   I also used some Honeydew baker's twine to add a bow under the sentiment stickers (Lovely Day Cardstock sticker). I cut some Happy Go Lucky: All A Bloom paper to add some fun to the bottom of the card.  To complete the card, I  rounded the top corner and added some colorful rhinestones to the centers of the little flowers.

ALL You NEED IS LOVE:  Finally the last card I made uses some Happy Go Lucky: Ride Along paper.   I cut the adorable little couple from Happy Go Lucky: Out and About paper.  I punched the heart form the coordinating red paper (Lovely Day: Raspberry).  I popped up the cloud stickers (Lovely Day Stickers) and then created grass by wrapping the Honeydew baker's twine over the green coordinating paper (Happy Go Lucky:Cricket).  I stapled a few of the edges to keep them all in line:

 

Hope you enjoyed these cards. I LOVED playing with My Little Shoebox paper this week.  I especially love that they include coordinating solid sheets of paper for their collections!  What fun designs and what a great match for The Twinery baker's twine!

Princess Timmy and Bubble wrap fun!

Hi there!  This week is one of those weeks where I am perpetually confused because the kids had off on Monday.  I really have to look at the calendar every day to keep on track.  Am I the only one?  

So I had to share this picture of our bunny, Timmy.  Lauren dressed him up in a Cinderella dress and tiara while I was working on the computer.  I turned around to see this:

Sigh! At least Timmy is a girl (despite her name) so she is good.
I don't know if she enjoyed it but I swear, she lets Lauren do anything to her.

I have been really really busy but I do have a little card to share today.  I have some other posts going on in other places this week but I can share this "created-for-a-pub-call-but-it-wasn't-loved" card:

 

My favorite part of this card is the background.  I made it by inking up some bubble wrap I had lying around and then stamped on the white cardstock. Love the look! Ok...I also love the little flower popped up over the heart :)

Supplies:

Patterned paper: Heartfelt: Gigi (My Little Shoebox)

Stamps- Fabulous (Ali Edwards, Technique Tuesday); French Script (SU!)

Bubble wrap

Ink- Memento tuxedo black; Faded jeans distress ink (Ranger)

Adhesive pearl (Recollections, Michael's)

Heart punch (Marvy)

white cardstock (Gina K Designs)
