Flower Pot Pocket Card!

This is for today's Try a New Technique Challenge over at SCS. What a fun card this was to make! I decided to make a Mother's Day card for mine. You can get the instructions on how to make this HERE on Stephanie Luman's wonderful Blog! If you make one, stop back and here and let me know! I would love to see yours! ;)

I used some flower stamps by Inque Boutique, butterfly stamp by The Rubber Cafe, a Melissa Frances Rub-on, stick pins by Making Memories, and patterned papers by October Afternoon, Daisy Bucket Designs and the sheer polka dotted paper is by Ki Memories. I also used my Martha Stewart branch punch, ball trim, crocheted ribbon, buttons and some hemp cord. All the flowers are attached to a pull out card. I hope you like it!

I'll be back tomorrow with my White on White card for Jacksonbelle! See you then!! Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,

Happy Spring

Another quickie post today! I just wanted to share a couple of cards I made for yesterday's Limited Supplies Challenge over at SCS. You could only use 1 Cardstock Color, 2 pieces of patterned papers and 3 embellies! And of course a stamped image and neutral colors cardstock didn't count.

This first one took less than 8 minutes to make, but I love it! The colors are so me as my friend Lindsay would say!! ;) The striped DP is by My Mind's Eye and the Sheer Polka dotted DP is by Making Memories. I added some gingham ribbon, stick pins, Kaiser Craft adhesive pearls and the Happy Spring is a stamp by Inque Boutique.

This next card, I kinda cheated on! LOL I added some glitter which would be considered a 4th embellie by some!! Oh well! The DP's are by Pink Paislee, Office Lingo and Sweet Cakes, the Carousel stamp is by Whipper Snapper Designs which I colored in with some Copics. I added some gingham ribbon, rhinestones and a Melissa Frances Rub-On.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me! I love reading all of your sweet comments! And I promise to visit all of your blogs as soon as I get a chance!! ♥♥♥

Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Palm Sunday!

Dancing in the Rain!

Today is a rainy, yucky day here! So I am playing with my son, cleaning (YUCK!) and catching up on emails, blogs, etc! I have been so crazy busy, I haven't had time to do much of anything lately! The yucky weather reminded me of a card I did last week for a SCS challenge.
The stamped image is a House-Mouse stamp. I just love the cute little faces on these mice! And I love that Melissa Frances Rub-On! The bright colors are just what I need for this dreary day! I hope you like it!!

I have so many fun projects that I am doing right now for the April Dirty Dozen Reveal over at Splitcoaststampers! I wish I could show you, but we can't post any of our projects for 3 months, due to the Fan Club being a pay-to-see! If you are not a member, and you have a few extra bucks lying around (these days, who has $$ lying around though, right?) but if you would like to really be inspired, join the SCS Fan Club! You won't be disappointed! It is only $24.95 for a whole year or $14.95 for 6 months. And if you do, stop by and say Hi! I am Melissa1872 on SCS!

Well, I hope you have an awesome day!!

Hugs,
