Birthday Blooms

This card was a share from one of our Team Members and I love the soft feel of it.
The Carousels & Cupcakes designer paper and the Lace Doilies are both retiring at the end of this month.  I am so sad to see those doilies leaving — they were the best.
Birthday Blooms
The flower is stamped with Black ink and then colored in with Watercolor Pencils and an Aqua Painter to blend the colors out.
The edges of each layer are sponged with Soft Suede ink to round out the vintage look of the designer paper.

May Scrapbook Pages

I love May scrapbook pages — flowers, Mother's Day, soft – pretty colors!!!
I used the Succulent Gardens designer paper to get me started — I am going to miss this paper.
May Page 1
Don't you just love those pretty colors.
I used Grateful Bunch stamp set with Pool Party ink to stamp some leaves scattered around the edges of the page and then stamped flowers with Sweet Sugarplum on Whisper White cardstock and punched out with the coordinating Blossom Builder Punch to add some dimensional flowers.

I added Rhinestones to the center of the two smaller flowers and the new Clear Faceted Gems to the larger flowers (this are in the new catalog which you can start ordering on June 1st — you are going to love these!!!)
Flower Close Up
Very sweet, simple pages ready to add mom pictures — grandma pictures — or adorable little girl pictures.

Nailed It for Father’s Day

I know Mother's Day is coming up this weekend but today I wanted to share a great Father's Day idea.  The Nailed It stamp set has limited time left — it's retiring at the end of this month so you need to get it ordered right away.  Unfortunately the coordinating framelits are already sold out but the images are easy to "fussy" cut with your Paper Snips.
Nailed It Frame
Isn't this just adorable for that handy man Dad or Grandpa.
Or for that matter, change the colors and Moms and Grandmas would love it to.
Just add that special picture and you are ready to go.

Project Tips:
* Base — Thick Whisper White – 8" x 8"
stamp random tools with Black ink
add splotches from Gorgeous Grunge (so sad this is retiring too)
* Urban Underground designer paper — 4" x 4" or using Black cardstock
this is your picture mat
* Basic Grey — stamp saw with Black ink — cut out
* Black — 2" x 2"
* Delightful Dijon — 1 3/4" x 1 3/4"

I just love this adorable frame — team member Katie Campbell designed this one.
