September Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

It's the 25th of the month and that means it is time for the PTI Blog Hop...I almost forgot about it this month so this was a quick little birthday card for a sweet friend.  This month's theme is wreath's, I did not have a wreath stamp so I am using this delightful "wreath" from Think Big Favorites #19 and embellished it with a few roses and there you have it!  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...there is still plenty of time to play along and so many wonderful cards to see over at Capture the Moment if you need a little inspiration.

Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #95

My sister asked me to make a wedding card for one of her co-workers who is getting married later this year and thought this would be the perfect challenge sketch to try and make something special.  It took me two attempts to get it right, this card has to be special.  The first card I made last night and I was just not happy with it...earlier in the day I cut out and made Ashleigh some new pj's and the leaning over just seemed to do a number on my back, and it reflected in my card. So needless to say that card hit the trash and I started fresh this morning and had much better results. Thanks for taking a peek!

Make It Monday #50 Shaker Card

I haven't made a shaker card or embellishment in so long...this really brought back some fun memories for me.  Several years ago when I was scarpbooking and this was the new trend, my friends and I would try and come up with some pretty wild ideas for shaker boxes and what a mess did they make! Glitter, sparkles and confetti everywhere but it was fun...so night before last I could not sleep so I was up at 3:30am and working on my card and this is what I ended up making. So instead of using glitter or confetti I oped for buttons and I am very happy with the way it turned out.  Thanks for taking a peek!
