You Have an Awesome ...

This was a fun card that I got to make at a recent CTMH event, held at the end of April in Vancouver.  A van-full of us went over to Richmond and spent the day having fun & learning with the other consultants and also getting to know each other better as well - a day well spent!  I'll post some of the other projects from the event in future posts.

Happy Retirement!

Sure wish it was me but my turn will eventually come ... in the meantime I get to make some fun cards in whatever time I can get in!  

This one uses the stamp set Happy Times which is only available for the month of May!  I don't usually go for the flower stamp sets but I'm lovin' this one so far!  And better news, it comes with a complimentary paper pack which is gorgeous!  You can get it for free with a qualifying $70 order or for $17.75 to purchase outright.  The stamp set is $21.25 and is a not to miss set!

Watercolouring Fun with My Anchor

Playing around with some watercolouring for the background using our wonderful watercolours and brushes.  I also used My Anchor and the My Anchor Thin Cuts (retiring Apr 30th), Pacifica ink, Saffron ink, 3D foam tape. Sentiment is from Teacher Appreciation D1612 (retiring July 31st).  This is a 4x4" card, using White Daisy cardstock.

Have a fun day!

Regatta I Just Love Card

Loved this card when I saw it so of course had to make it ... it is part of the Regatta Workshop Your Way, using the Regatta paper, My Anchor stamp set and My Anchor Thin Cuts ... all set to retire this month  :(  I love this set and papers and am sorry to see them go.

I also used mini-glue dots to attach the White/Gold Ribbon and 3D foam tape to attach the large heart to the card.  Inks used:  Pomegranate, Flaxen and Sapphire. All CTMH except for the red paper.

I can see using this layout with other papers and stamp sets in the future!

Have a great day!

Out of All the Mom's in the World ...

The beginnings of a project ... using Memento Black Ink, Ruby ink, Honey ink, Liquid Glass, B1509 My Mother (retiring Apr 30th) ... haven't worked out the final use yet but I love how this is turning out!  I also used our wonderful Daubers to apply the colour to the flowers.

Have a wonderful day!

Beloved Bouquet Happy Birthday

I used the January Stamp of the Month, Beloved Bouquet (retired) for this card.

The 'Happy Birthday' is from the May Stamp of the Month Celebrate with Cake so you are getting a tiny sneak peek!

I used various reds and greens and forgot to write them down ... I did just put away Topiary and Pear, Ruby, Pomegranate and Pixie so I strongly suspect that's what I used.  I propped up a couple of the flowers with 3D Foam tape.

Hope you managed to snag this set when it was available!

Have a wonderful day!
