"A heartfelt thank you"

I've been making a lot cards these past two days. Play with Lyrical Letters cartridge is a lot of fun. If you have this cartridge but haven't played with these images yet, you are missing out on a lot of FUN!!!! :)

Here's 3 more cards that I did. They are very simple and easy. My cricut did the cutting of the image. All I did is added the paper and some embellishments. Again, I'm using my scraps, getting the basket to a smaller size... So you'll see some of the same colors, papers used.








I used CTMH stamp for the sentiment on this card.



Thanks for looking!!!

3 cards using Lyrical Letters cartridge!!!

I wanted to try those card shapes that Lyrical Letters cartridge has sense I got the cartridge. But haven't done it till last night. I really don't know why I waited but I'm glad that I finally decided to try them out.

I have so many cards to share with you all but I think that I'll keep some of them for tomorrow.:)

I used my scraps of papers these projects. I'm on a mission to get that basket full of paper scraps smaller A LOT smaller!!!!

Used only Lyrical Letters cartridge and some word stickers that I had laying around. Actually I think I got those stickers in the mail with some scrapbook magazine subscription or something like that.
Start Dust stickers, pearls, ribbon, button and scrappers floss.
Hello Kitty sizzix embossing folder. I used baking rolling pin thing, to get that blue paper embossed. Don't have a cuttlebug or a bigshot and yes my hands were hurting after words. But I LOVE the way it came out.

OK here we got... Hope you'll like these!!!! :)









Thanks for looking and I hope you'll give this cartridge a try!!!

Flower Soft and Practical Scrappers Challenge!

I posted yesterday that I got my first tin of Flower Soft and BOY do I LOVE IT!!!!? :) It's is so AWESOME!!!

I found these two videos that are very very helpful. The lady has a very nice teaching voice and she explains everything so nicely!!!!

Flower Soft video #1
Flower Soft video #2

Make sure you watch both of them if you want to learn more about Flower Soft and awesome ways to use it!!!! I'm just starting out with it so both of these videos have been so helpful to me.

I had a BLAST working with Flower Soft last night. My husband and my brother in law who is visiting us right now even liked the cards that I did.. LOL :) It was SO easy to use and so much FUN!!! Now I need to get more colors!!!! hee hee

So here are the cards that I did plus a layout using Flower Soft. It is so windy outside today that I could not get the layout and cards to stay still. I take my pictures outside for better lighting. So I'm sorry if the pictures didn't turn out all that great.



Used on both of the cards:
Flower Soft Heather.
Aleene's tacky glue.
Flowers stamp from Garden bouquet collection by Posh Impressions.
CTMH Ink pens, Hydrangea, Topiary and Holiday Red.
Scraps of CM embossed paper that I had left over.
Bazzill Olive green card stock.
White card stock.
Star dust stickles.
Eyelets by SU.
Rub-ons.





They layout is simple. Some paper STMH stamps and Flower Soft. I just had so much fun playing last night!!! :) The layout is also a Challenge page for Practical Scrappers. We had to use 5 eyelets on a layout. Go check out their blog and what their DT team came up with for this challenge.

Here is my layout. The 4 eyelets are on the two pink strips at the bottom and the 5th one is on a circle. For the title I used Lyrical Letters cartridge the Capital font.

Thanks for looking and I hope you liked my projects!!!

Lita's sketch #4 and Scrunchy Flowers...

I have two projects to show you today!!!!

First is the Scrunchy Flower or paper flower or the flower that everyone is making these days. :) I've seen them EVERYWHERE! There's a lot of great tutorials out there for these flowers. I found this tutorial at Christian Paper Crafts to be very easy and simply to follow.

I finally took the time last night to make couple of these flowers as I was waiting for my husband to finish up his home work. If you haven't done these yet, you have too. They are so easy to make and are so CUTE!!!

Here is a card that I made for a boy birthday for a friend with the first flower that I did.


Up close of the flower.


Second is Lita's #4 sketch. To see her sketches please visit her blog at Embracing Imperfection.

I had a lot of fun doing this sketch. I just love how these little scrunchy paper flowers turned out!!!! I started working on the Volume 2 album for our friends and the photos are of their oldest daughter. She is such a good kid!!!!


And the corners with the flowers.




I just LOVE how these flowers turned out!!! I see my self making more of these that's for sure!!!

Thanks for looking!!!!
