Je T'aime

Same time last year, perhaps earlier, I ordered a wonderful set from Papertrey Ink called Sweet Love and it mistakenly had this sentiment missing from it. So Papertrey, being the most outstanding company I know of, made sure they sent the image to each and every customer that had ordered the set. I have never used it....LOL. This is my most favorite set as well as it helped me win my first (and last so far) Papertrey Ink Guest Star Stamper which lead me to meet my good friend Char as she won the same month.

Ok so how was that for off topic! The card is stamped, from the with sympathy set, in true Black on vintage cream c/s, matted on true black & sweet blush. Accented with these cute black & pink flowers from Making Memories and also has some divine true black satin ribbon. As always the inside of my card is stamped to match but this time I wanted to show you the stamped envelope to match. Loves it!

I also wanted to mention that my Crocheted flowers are still up for sale. Yo can contact me via email from this page or you can click onto my Etsy shop which is now conveniently located in the right hand column on the blog. Thanks for stopping in and see you tomorrow when I announce my latest goal. I know a boring post but it means a lot to me and maybe I will share another card as well....lol

Friend Card

Here is my friend card dedicated to my girl Sarah, she really does crack me up. Even at my lowest points in life, I still laugh like a school girl because of her.

CPS102

Papertrey has paired up with CPS this time around and I HAD to do the sketch. I love it and it was so simple. Why do I not do more sketches? Anyway this is my interpretation of the sketch.

I used PTI Dark Chocolate card stock, the pattern paper is from a "Fashion District" Me & My Big Ideas mat pad, Matted on PTI Ripe Avocado card stock, Vintage lace, Homemade crocheted flower with a Que Sera Sera K&Company gem in the center. I stamped Feel better soon from Papertrey's Last Year Anniversary Set Simple Things!

This particular Flower is actually Crocheted Ribbon and edged with a delicate thread border. I wanted to show you this picture so you can see how flat they actually are.

2 for 1 Papertrey Style

Have you been following the countdown to one of the biggest, most exciting releases ever at Papertrey? If you have not, you should be! Today's post is two of the last challenges they have had. I didn't have time to do the color combo for the contest but decided to do the current challenge using the last challenge colors.

The challenge was to do the connect the dots puzzler which revealed a card sketch. So using the colors in the previous challenge I decided to mix it up a little by making the sketch into a 6x6 scrapbook page for my yearly book. I started by stamping polka dot basics in versamark onto Ocean tides card stock. Then added the center note paper from Making Memories, dressed with some pure poppy grosgrain ribbon. Then I added some huge square jeweled stickers from MM on the right hand side. Next I cut away some of the packaging that the jeweled stickers came on to layer my title. A little bit of going green, but it matched so perfectly I HAD to do it. I used my new favorite Fresh Alphabet for my title and out the year in my own print (I hate my handwriting but whatever...lol) Last but not least, I added a handmade crocheted flower using a variegated thread that matches the summer sunrise perfectly. Are you sick of my crocheted flowers yet? Don't worry that post on getting some is coming soon, I promise!

I love dimension!! Thanks for stopping by to take a peek and good luck to all participants that enter...can you image 95 rolls of ribbon for free?!? I would die! See you again tomorrow!

Loonie Stampers Challenge #26

Welcome to the 26th Loonie Stampers Challenge......This week was my selection and I thought it would be fun to do something we have not done before. I decided we should CASE any of the Loonie Stampers Previously posted cards. So you can blurf the blogs of our girls and find a LSC card you love and case it.

I looked through EVERY single LSC card and I decided on this one of Char's. I love its simplicity and how the heart is a focal point yet does not take away from the message.

On my card I cut some Spring Rain card stock, wrapped my ribbon around it and punched the Martha Stewart border and attached it to my card. Then I pierced it around the edge and drew in the "stitches" with a silver pen. I also drew in the top line of the border punch. Then I used my new FAVORITE alphabet stamp set, Fresh Alphabet from PTI in night of navy ink to make my sentiment. Last I added a hand crocheted ribbon flower. My Mom is brilliant. She found this funky thread like ribbon from Michael's and made a bunch of these flowers for me. I am in LOVE with it.

I also wanted to show you that the flower looks big but actually lays quite flat!

Thanks for coming to see this weeks LSC card and be sure to go and visit the other ladies.

WENDY CHAR REGAN DEE MARIA
