September 2-8 Trend Watch ... PaperSmooches!!!

So I finished this card on Friday and filmed myself making it, it turned out very different than I planned, but sometimes things you make do that. I haven't figured out how to upload the video from my phone yet because it's so large ... argh....

Anyway it's Trend Watch week at PaperSmooches Sparks.

Here's the inspiration shot:

I did make a card this week, for a baby shower that's coming up later...

I do love that Hero Arts Neon Pink flower from the Calico set stamped over the polka dot from the Kate and Co MME 6x6 paper pad. And that paper pieced baby from Chit Chat set....

Those silver dots remind me of those little silver fancy dots for cookies... know what I'm talking about?

Hugs and thanks for looking!

A few of my favorite things

Lawnscaping Challenge #65 is underway and it's SUPER AWESOME, especially considering this past weekend I went to a Sound of Music Sing Along!

Here is the CAS card I came up with for this challenge... WARNING! This card totally brings up the 1980s to those of us who were there ;)

My FAVORITE THINGS: black cardstock, white ink (this is Unicorn from Hero Arts and is AWESOME... look at that white color on that black cardstock), Sharp Backdrops stampset and... THICKERS! I jumped into my stash and said what can I use! LOL, the aqua ones are Amy Tangerine Scene Thickers and the pink ones are way old from my stash they are Tiara and I have been deeply hoarding them.

So this is my submission for the favorite things challenge and I have a bonus card to share with you:

hugs!

Post Labor Day!

I had no idea my Labor Day weekend would be so awesome! My original intent was to finish up this mini that I'm prepping for a day visit I'll be making sometime soon, I just don't know when....
I did make a card this weekend, but I can't find it to photograph right now, go figure. So here is a quick Pudding Camera Shot of the mini in progress, I finally got all the pages adhered to the chipboard, I wish I was off work today to finish it ;).

Hugs all!
