My "not really a LSC card"

Today's post is a little different then it was supposed to be. I PROMISE I was going to make this card in line with this weeks LSC. However, after doing a little cutting here and there I just was not " feeling it". So this is what I am presenting instead. Sorry I do not have time today to start over. This card took 2 hours to make as is and I have a BIRTHDAY PARTY to get to soon.

My Friend Tanis turned the big 3-0 today and I needed a super special card for a super special friend. So before we continue I have to say another friend of ours is surprising her with a "wonky cake" or mad hatter cake whatever you want to call it. So i thought it would be incredibly fun to make a card that was in the same shape.

The top layer of the cake is glued together. Since the card is almost 11 inches tall I had to have a way to make it fold so that is what I did. The top layer is stamped and embossed white with a pattern from Papertrey's Retro Background set. Then it is dressed with a summer sunrise bow, a teal crocheted flower (made by yours truly) and a new leaf button.

The middle layer, although not chocolate like the cake will be, is still very delicious. I used my Damask Designs set to clear emboss on new leaf card stock. You know a little lace, little rick rack....mmmmmmmmm!

The last layer is complete with sentiment, more crocheted flowers and more ribbon. I REALLY hope that she likes it....and regardless I think I am going to submit this to Papertrey's GSS...so no copying...LOL I'm kidding.

Thanks fr coming folks, sorry it is not the proper LSC but I will try and make one this weekend. Gotta run...Thanks for stopping by today!

LSC...

I am so sorry. I am delinquent again... I am hoping to be back really soon with a special card for my friend's 30th birthday....

A "Dude" Card

I have a hard time making cards for guys, so I am vowing now to try harder. Every time someone asks me for a guys birthday card I NEVER have any on hand. So here's hoping!

Thanks for stopping in today! See you back here tomorrow for the next installment of the Loonie Stampers Challenge....all I have to say is...It should be interesting to see what comes of this weeks task!

Thanks So Much!!

Hello all and happy Hump Day!

I had to make a few cards last week which was weird I have been so busy I barely have time to visit the most sacred room of my house. Its sad really. But I had fun making this card.

I used my Marvy Punches to punch out some pattern paper. Then I added the stem from this really awesome vine ribbon from Taylored Expressions. She has it in Brown and Black and Papertrey Ink has it in Green.

Of course the inside...and oddly enough it is almost y favorite part of the card.

OK well I don't have a whole lot left to say, I am hoping to get into my craft room today to make a super special 30th Birthday card for my bets pal Tanis....cant show you though, I think she still reads my blog from time to time. Wish me luck, my mojo has been hit and miss.

Spring Seed Packets

Every Month My Friend Sarah arranges a basket for the local Sylvan Learning Center to use as a raffle. She bakes and decorates amazing cookies, My friend Tanis makes the most adorable chocolates and I always do a card and some sort of paper project. We all stay within the theme of the month. This month was obviously for Mother's Day and since we are only just getting around to having spring I thought Seed packets would be super cute....SO I did a couple sets and here they are!

This packet is adorned with 2 of my new colors of Crocheted Flowers. The blue is completely new and the Goldenrod Yellow is a slightly brighter version of the yellow I ran out of a few months ago.

On each of the sets the band just slides on and off but works perfectly to keep the packet tidy and closed for great presentation.

Thanks for stopping to check out my blog today. Remember, if you would like some flowers you can always check out my Etsy Store or you can EMAIL ME for a price list and color samples to make a custom order!!!
