Happy Thoughts

It's finally Friday!! It has been a long and busy week for me. I have also caught a cold which is zapping all my energy. Not fun :(

I am excited to share another card that I coloured for Cheryl at Sassy Cheryl's stamps!  This one is called Noah's Tire Swing.  You can check it out here.

I added in this sweet little ladybug that comes with this set!

I made a mini banner to use for my sentiment, which I stamped!  I also did some detailing with a black marker around the outside of my card.

I added a couple of mini brads and some stitching on Noah's shoes.

I can't wait until the weather is nice enough to swing in a tire from a tree.

Hippity, Hoppity, Happity Easter!

I am so excited to be back on the Little Red Wagon challenge team. Each Wednesday one of 'The Girlfriends' will post a new challenge that we hope will inspire you to try something different with your scrapbooking supplies.

This week it is Rosanne's turn and she is challenging us to use a window! I didn't have an actual window in my 'wagon' of supplies, so I headed to Pinterest for inspiration.  I came across an idea for an Easter card and here is what I created.
Bunny Hole (1)

The 'bunny hole' is the window in my card!  I created the rabbit using the shape tools on my Silhouette.....yup, I didn't even buy a file.  The tail is actually a cloud that I had purchased a while back and I just re-sized it to fit.

Bunny Hole (3)

The grass is also a Silhouette file that I had from a previous project.  I found this Stamping Bella stamp in my stash and thought is was perfect for my card.

Bunny Hole (4)

I hope you will give this challenge a try.  It was a lot of fun and I am very pleased with my creation.

Bunny Hole (2)

You can visit the Little Red Wagon blog and see what the other 'girlfriends' have created.  Be sure to link up your project so we can all see what you created too.

Bunny Treat Box

I just love when Easter is approaching. There are so many different paper crafting ideas that I want to try.

This week at The Cutting Cafe, I worked with the Bunny Treat Box.  It is perfect to hold some Easter candies or even a coloured egg.

  Bunny Treat Box 1

I added a ribbon and then a little tag tied on with floss and a bit of bling.

Bunny Treat Box 3

The back is just as cute as the front!  I added some stitching to accent his tail and then I popped it up using foam adhesive.

Bunny Treat Box 2

Thanks for stopping by.  Tomorrow I will be posting an Easter card for my first project for Little Red Wagon.  Hope you drop by again.

Hello!

Hope you all had a great weekend. I did!!! The weather was nice and mild today and it was light out until almost 7:45 tonight. Sure makes it feel like Spring :)

I want to share a card that I made using another one of Sassy Cheryl's awesome digital stamps. This one is called Noah is all Ears! You can visit her online store here.

After I had this one all coloured I added the red and black cardstock mats and some stars for embellishments.  I stitched his shoelaces with some white floss and the border around the card with red.

I added a bow with some bakers twine and crinkled ribbon.

I used a tab with 'hello' in it for my sentiment.  I found this on my Silhouette.  Love that machine.

IMG_9985

I also added some black brads for his buttons.

I just love him!

Lets Go Rangers!

I am so excited to share my latest layout for my Ranger album. It has been quite a while since I have had the opportunity to work on a page for this book.

This is the second page for the game on October 21st against Kingston.  I had a lot of photos and they didn't fit on one page......so I had to do two.  I incorporated one of our tickets into the layout too.

IMG_0045

I used some 3D stickers and these skates were a perfect accent for my journaling.

IMG_0046

I used a star set that I purchased from Silhouette and some star buttons I had in my stash.

IMG_0047

I love banners so I created a bunch for the backdrop of my design.  I added some 'Ranger' red stitching to accent the border.

IMG_0048

I did some hand stitching for my title......which I am very happy with.

IMG_0049

Hopefully I am on a roll with some layouts and will have more to post soon.
