Lastly, I'll leave you with a fun little project I made for the May Dirty Dozen/Fan Club Gallery over at SCS. It is a little wire birdcage that I picked up in Michael's awhile back. I just added some ribbons, string pearls and some clear acrylic butterflies, that I also picked in Michael's in the wedding section. Add a little votive and a little stick pin with your message and it makes a cute little gift.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Shimmery Vintage...Want to win some Shimmerz??

Well, I didn't get to do my post on Saturday like I wanted to...another crazy weekend! I am also finding it hard to think and sit down to design things lately. My mind is somewhere else! But it's a really good thing! More on that at a later date! (and no I'm not pregnant! Not yet anyway!;) This past weekend Shimmerz Paints was the sponsor over at Triple the Sketch. You can see the post HERE. We had a fun sketch to work with. So this is what I came up with.

This card uses a beautiful stamp by Flourishes stamps called Peony. I "colored" it in with some Pink Poinsettia, Hotty pink and Celery Shimmerz. I used some papers by Melissa Frances and Bo Bunny(polka dots). The pink card base was sprayed with some Shimmerz Spritz in Truffle and then when the card was finished I gave it a quick spray of Baby's Breath Shimmerz Spritz for some added shimmer.

If you would like to try and win some Shimmerz, all you have to do is visit this post HERE on the Triple the Sketch blog and leave a comment with a link to your card, LO, tag or altered item using the same fun sketch that I used. As you can see, I turned it around a bit for my card, which you can too!Good luck and most of all, have fun!
I will be back later today with my giveaway winner! My son is itching to pull the winner out of the bowl!! LOL Good luck, you still have a couple of hours left! ;)

Hugs...

Autumn Memories.... A Fall Card

Autumn is right around the corner...it will be here before we know it...pumpkins...corn stalks...mums...scarecrows...my favorite time of year! And one of my favorite seasons to make cards for, besides Christmas. So why not get a jump start! All the new Fall themed products that has just been released are so beautiful. I couldn't wait to use them!

Here is a card I made using paper and a postcard from Pink Paislee's new lines, the Twilight and Amber Road Collections. And the Autumn Memories stamp is also from their new line of stamps. What beautiful collections...but what else would you expect from Pink Paislee! The pumpkins are made out of white felt. I just trimmed them out with pinking shears and then added some Marigold Shimmerz and then some Spiced Cider Blingz around the edges. I then added some more brown felt, green ribbon as the leaves, a button and some more hemp cord. Hope you like it?!!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I usually don't do posts on the weekends, but I will have something for you tomorrow. Shimmerz and Triple the Sketch have teamed up this weekend for some fun shimmery layouts with their awesome sketch! So I will have the card I made here and on the TTS blog! Oh, and Monday my blog candy winner will be chosen! So good luck! See you tomorrow!

Hugs...
