A little clean up

I got an email from my sister last night showing me a view of a bloggers desk space after the creation of a card.  Well if you are like me, you can completely relate.  

I have a total MESS!

So today I did a little clean up and made these 2 cards.  Simple and inspiring for about any occasion.

I hope you enjoy and create your own journey.......

My Hubby's Birthday

So Bills birthday is today and this is the card I made for him.  

Very simple center fold card.

I used a simple black and purple color scheme with a few accents.

This is the front left side of the card

This is the right side of card as you open.  The Birthday sentiment is totally hidden from the front when it is closed.

Thanks for sharing in my Husbands special day.

More Mothers Day Inspiration

I wanted share this card that I made for my Son to give to his wife for Mothers Day.  This is the first year she can celebrate herself, as see is expecting to give birth by the end of the month.  (I'm safe to post this card because she doesn't follow my blog)

This was a fun card to make and the inspiration came from another blog that my sister and I follow.

I stamped the image on white cardstock and embossed with white powder.  I used Copic Markers and sprayed several colors over the stamped design.  Then I sprayed Colorless blender over the entire image and as you can see the Copic color has vanished and you have a very soft blended background.  I blotted the front of the card with a towel to remove some of the ink that was sitting on the white image.  You can spray as little or as much as you like.

Give this technique a try.

Mother Day Inspiration

I want to share this card today because we are getting close to Mother's Day on Sunday and we should all have those special people in out thoughts this week. My daughter-in-law still has not had her baby, but I know she is excited to celebrate her first Mother's Day.  The card for today features the Madeline Collection from Prima. (found at Hobby Lobby).  I had a special stick pin that I wanted to use and this paper was perfect.  I used an old sentiment that I had on file and made a copy from the computer.  I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by today.

Sunshine and Pinwheels

Good evening, I hope everyone had a good weekend and you're rested for tomorrow. 

I've been working on a few projects this weekend and got a couple of cards put together.

This fun little image is from Stampavie and she makes me smile with here sweet face and pinwheel.

Simple image to color and just a few sequins to add the bling.

Happy May Day

Happy May Day everyone.  This is an oh so simple card and a tribute to my sister.  She is just as crazy about card making as I am and she has been on the sequin path over the weekend.  I decided to join her, so I put a few on this little card.  

Usually we can say that April showers bring May flowers, but hear in the Midwest we are bracing for May SNOW.  How silly is that? Today is till nice for us in eastern Iowa, so carry on I guess.

Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
