Happy Friday!
It has been a busy first week of the Summer Break here, with the oldest at camp, hubby and the other two at Twilight camp, a new babysitting job for my daughter, swimming at the pool but I still found a little spot for crafting :)
I must admit I went a little overboard on this card, I just kept adding and adding and when I was looking in my pink embellishment jar I spotted a little crown brad and it fit so perfectly on the head of Forget Me Not Tilda from the brand new Special Moments Collection that I just had to use it!
Oh my Tilda looks so glammed up with her crown and she even had a touch of glitter, see I told you I went a little wild but I love how it turned out and I really hope you do to.
I'm entering the fabulous giveaway at Cheery Lynn Designs and this is week two of the 4 weeks of challenges so two more to go, I hope I win!

Happy Sunday!
I hope you are well and no too busy running around everywhere. Today we are taking our eldest son to camp. He will be staffing at a Boy Scout Camp and will be gone for 7 weeks! I am going to miss him so much but it will a great thing for him, lots of responsibility and we will get to go and visit about half way through the time.
So especially for that I made a card about love :)

This is an unusual card for me as it has no coloring but I loved the sentiment and I think with delicate die cuts and the textures that the card works without a colored image.

I've been so busy this week that it was lucky that I could make one card fit two commitments!
This card fits both my last Guest Designer spot at Cheery Lynn Designs and it features one of the New Releases from Inky Impressions!
There are two new rubber stamps, Nickie in The Rain and Christopher Riding Bike, and we have Golfer Boy as a brand new digital image!
I find that I don't use many of the fancy die cuts on boy cards so it was nice to challenge myself and I really like the finished result.
This border is actually meant to be rolled to make a flower but I think it coordinates well with the scalloped edge on the rectangles
I hope you liked this little guy as much as I do.

When you open up the book you discover a place to present a little gift.
I used borders from the Carnivale Border to create the frame around the opening inside the book.
You can't see well on the photo but I scored the parts of the book where the pages would be to give the look of a real book.
I added this great sentiment to the front and surrounded it with leaves, flowers and butterflies.
Be sure to drop back next week for my final project as May's Guest Designer.

It's time for another project for my guest designer spot at Cheery Lynn Designs
Today I'm using one of the very popular Mixed Media Dolls by Prima. These stamps are very large, perfect for paper piecing like I did today, a little large for a card so I went with a fancy bookmark. I used a couple of the dies a little differently on this project, the flowers are using just two off the rose strip and the border is actually one of the cutie dies that is meant to be rolled but I thought it was rather cool as a border, a little like a spiral binding edge.
Today I am sharing my first guest project for Cheery Lynn Designs
This card is very different from my usual creations, it has no image but instead is filled with technique
If you follow the trends in card making you must have seen the popularity of the "Frantage" range of embossing enamels and all the wonderful creations people are making.
Well I don't claim to be an expert (gosh this is my first attempt with the product) but this is what I came up with after many hours going from blog to blog to fill my latest Pinterest board :)
I wasn't sure whether the dies would work on the corrugated card, I have only ever used steel rule dies on product this thick, but oh my they cut through like butter! Even the border is cut from the corrugated card (although it got a little squashed as I turned it through the machine a few more times than it needed) If you can see on the doily the cardstock came pre-embossed, all you have to do is sand it down a little to reveal the color core, a great time saver.
I used some old products here, the paper ribbon and fiber must be close to 10 years old, but I think with the muted tones and the texture to this card that they worked well, good job I'm not very good at purging old product!
Anyway, enough of my rambling, I hope you enjoyed this card and I'll be back next Saturday with another project for you.
