October Card Challenge & Special Card Event

Today is a special day for two reasons. First it the day I post my monthly card challenge over at Scrapping the Moments. Also, it is World Card Making Day. So this is a great day to make some cards. Here is some information about this world event. World Card Making Day

This month's challenge is a fun one. I call it a "die cut" card. Join me over at the challenge site for more details. October Card Challenge

Here is how I did mine.


I used one of my Nestabilities die and Spellbinder to create this shape in my card.


Then, I used adhesive to affix this pattern paper to the inside of the card.


Added the flower sticker and sentiment and that is it! Easy peasy!


Used pink cs, Echo Park pp and flower sticker and green ink for the sentiment.

Here are a few more I made.

Used yellow cs, Cosmo Cricket pp, flowers and tag and black ink for sentiment.

Used pink cs, Echo Park pp and flower, bling circle and green ink for sentiment.


So I hope you join the party and enjoy this challenge!

My Birthday Blog Party

Welcome to my Birthday Blog Party! I am starting my celebration early to fully enjoy my day. My actual birthday is May 29th but why not start early right? :) When I think of birthdays past, they were always such exciting times for me. Many of my birthdays were celebrated with fun parties from my childhood to my young adult years. I loved all of those special parties and to this day, I still love it. Maybe this is where my love for event planning all started. At my 3rd birthday, my parents gave me a big one. I don't really remember but the pictures are so cool. I had lots of kids there, a clown, a little merry-go-round ride and lots of games. I had a white little outfit on and was looking so cute for a Spring party. Boy, I looked so happy! Also, I was brave not to be afraid of the clown, too. My mom was holding me as I blew the candles out. Another year, I had my first slumber party. That was so fun! I invited several friends and ...

Vintage Layout

I wanted to share this layout with you all. I recently submitted a design team application and I had to make a layout. I haven't made a layout in years so it was a nice challenge. I enjoyed making the first one so much I wanted to try another one. This one is dedicated to my sweet grandmother, Thelma Cobbs. This was her college picture back in the 1930's. I just love this picture of her, the sepia tone color and the style is so classic.  Her style has influenced my artistic approach.  I loved all her lace handkerchiefs, hats, gloves, purses and jewel. So I have taken a lot of her traditional, glamours style and use it on my cards and now layouts.  I know she would be so proud to see her fashion sense in my work. Maybe it is my way of keeping her alive and close to me.  Love and miss you Nana! Supplies used are: Webster's Pages patterned paper, Scenic Route rub-on words, Prima flowers, leaves from Michael's, form adhesive on the lady images, cream ribbon and white...
