Thursday Card

Happy Thursday,

Yesterday I had a great me day!  The kids were at summer camp and I went and had a wonderful pedicure, eye brow wax and then came home and had a little mini marathon of my crazy show that I  like ( housewives of new york).  This show is so terrible but for some reason I love to watch it.  Hubby hates it and it is not appropriate to watch when the kids are home so I had a me day!  It was so fun!  I am all caught up now and boy oh boy those ladies are crazy!  It really makes me appreciate my life!

Today I have a quick card to share using the Authentique Fresh collection.  I really loved this collection and used every sing drop of it from my kit from Cord Scrapbook Studio.  I added some fun pearls and bling to the card just to give it a bit more something something!

Wednesday Thinking of You!

Happy Wednesday,

Just popping in today really quick.  My allergies/cold are not letting up but I wanted to share this fun card I made for Cord Scrapbook Studio.

Are you getting tired of the Bo Bunny Ambrosia projects yet?  I hope not!  This is the last of my projects.  I am ending my 3 days with a cute and simple card.  To make this cute I layered my paper, cut out a scalloped circle and butterfly, added some gems, sewed around the edges and then added my sentiment!  Very Simple and Very Easy!  I love it when things come together so easily!  It makes me so happy!

Supplies
paper, gems- bo bunny
stamps- hero arts
ink- hero arts
tools- silhouette, sewing machine, border punch

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with a new project.  See you then!  Have a wonderful and crafty day!

Tuesday Spring Wreath

Happy Tuesday!

How is your week going?  So far so good here but I have been struggling with either a cold or allergies- I am not quite sure.  Whatever it is it sure is kicking my butt! 

As I mentioned yesterday one of my assignments from Cord Scrapbook Studio was to create using the Bo Bunny Ambrosia line.  Yesterday I shared the layout and today I want to share my home decor piece.  For this Spring wreath I used my Silhouette to create all the layered flowers.  I cute out 74 flowers in different pattern papers. Here are directions to create this beautiful wreath.


Instructions:

1.  Start with a 12 inch base- I used the base from Michael's.
2. Cut flowers out of 3 coordinating pattern sheets of paper.  I used a 2.5 inch 3 layer flower from my Silhouette.
3. Cut 1-12 leaves.
4. Arrange on the base alternating patter paper and color. 
5. Tuck the leaves randomly around the wreath.
6. Use any fake flowers that are seasonal and glue on. 
7. Cut a coordinating element.  I used a 5.5 inch butterfly from coordinating cardstock.  I also cut a second image out of thick cardstock to give the butterfly a little substance and glue on top of the flowers. 
8. You can make this for any season.  It is so fun to make!

A Monday Thank You and Best Friends

Happy Monday!

I first have to say Thank You to Everyone who took the time to go over to the Jillibean Soup  blog and voted for my Layout.  You all are awesome.  I can't wait to see the results!

How was your weekend?  Ours was so busy on Saturday, but then I had some relaxing time on Sunday which was so awesome.  I was able to get my last project completed for Cord Scrapbook Studio and clean up my room.  You know me I hate to leave a messy area.

Last month Cord Scrapbook Studio gave me  the Bo Bunny Ambrosia line to create with.  This line is not the usual type of paper that I work with because it is very feminine so I felt a little out of my comfort zone.  However, as I started working with it I really started to like it!

I made 3 projects using this line- a card, layout and home decor piece.   Up first is my layout.  This photo was taken of my mom and I last year.  I have mentioned several times that my mom is my hero and my best friends. So this layout is for her!

supplies
everything is Bo Bunny Ambrosia
tools- ek success border punch, sewing machine

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I will be back tomorrow with the home decor piece from this collection.  See you then.  Have a wonderful and crafty day!
