Catching Up...Summer Card Camp-Week 2

I don't know about you but I always feel like I just can't catch up. That's why I wanted to participate in an online class because I knew I can go at my own pace. Better late than never, right? So this week I will do just that and catch up on the fun color combo for week two of summer camp....

Here's my take on the color scheme...

The butterflies were cut out from a piece of cardstock that had THIS hero background stamp heat embossed in white. Then I covered each one with a different ink that resists the heat embossing...

I also wanted to do something really different with the card. I cut an 8 1/2 piece of cardstock in half to create a card. Then I cut out a 1 1/2 strip from the right top layer of the card ONLY. This way the butterflies lay flat and only the small strip on the left with the greeting lifts up to reveal a pop of color. Something different...was getting tired of the same old thing...

I will be back to catch up with Week 3 soon. Hugs! :)

Toes in the sand...

Hello friends. Just wanted to pop in and say I'll be back soon. Just got home a few hours ago from a much needed week long vacation at the beach. I have lots to share. See you soon! :)

Graduation Invites and Thank You Notes...

I wanted to share Alex's graduation thank you cards and I realized that I never shared his invitation. I did pictures from baby to his senior year for his invite...

The party was so much fun. Here are the thank you cards I've been working on for Alex to write in...

I cut that cute graduation guy from my silhouette along with the bubble. It's hard to see but I used a Hero Arts Grid Stamp and stamped it in red for a tone on tone background for a little added dimension.

Thanks for stopping by! Be back soon. :)

Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop...

Hello and welcome to the Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop! (If you want to start at the beginning of the hop, click HERE.) You should be arriving here from Jamie's blog. I was thrilled when I was asked by my sweet friend Britta to be a part of this hop.

So what makes me a young crafter? It has nothing to do with my age but my memories associated with this hobby. Ever since I was little, my favorite aisle in any store was the craft aisle. Why? Because they had aisles and aisles of markers, crayons, scissors, notebooks, pretty paper and I remember just being smitten with it. In fact, I made my first scrapbook when I was seven using a three ring binder, loose leaf paper, a pen, and a glue stick. Oh how far I've come! ;) So no matter how much older I get, I still feel like a giddy little girl when it comes to this hobby. I'm happiest when I'm creating.

So now I want to share with you my project for today...

This is one card in a set that I made for my sister-in-law who is having her fourth child TODAY! Baby Molly will be here very soon and I thought what mother of four has time to even go to the store for thank you cards!?

I chose to share a card set today because it is my FAVORITE thing to do. My signature. Why make one card when you can make a bunch at one time! :)

So I made a set of these cards and included the envelopes and stamps...

I packaged them up and added some fabric to create a bow...
