Happy Mother's Day and a Tuesday Trigger Challenge

Hope all of the mom's out there that read this blog are having a wonderful Mother's Day!

Here is a card I made for my mom using this weeks Tuesday Trigger for inspiration:

I wish I had a larger Mother's Day sentiment but I guess the focus needs to stay on the butterflies anyway (and it took me a shockingly short amount of time to arrange them - normally that would be at least a 20 minute project!)

Here is another card I made for my aunt (who loves all things Nantucket):

Both of these cards were made using Hero Arts Antique Engravings set (and it is all LateBlossom's fault that I *had* to buy that set - I had an Archiver's coupon, what's a girl to do!)

This is the card I gave to my grandma (which has already been posted here but here it is again just in case you didn't see it the first time around):

That takes card of all the special women in my life - I am grateful for each and every one of them and all that they do to help me and my family!

Thanks for visiting today!

Have a Ball

This set from Papertrey the only other one that I actually completed my "use every image" plan for this month.  I don't actually have the All Star Team set that this is supposed to coordinate with but I think it's easy enough to use on its own and a super value at only $5!

First I knocked out three of the images with this birthday card:

Next I used the baseball image with the underlying circle stamped in Papertrey's Pure Snow ink:

(You know I like to use my hand drawn boxes around things but these cards are particularly uneven for some reason - I promise I wasn't crafting under the influence!)

So the only image I had left was the fill in image for the larger balls so I thought to myself "it doesn't really need to be a ball at all" and used it as a stand alone image on this card:

All that for $5!!

ColourQ Challenge #30

How about a little Christmas in April fun with this weeks challenge?

I wish I would have picked a little bit bolder sentiment for this but I just couldn't find a "thank you" I liked better:

ColourQ Challenge #29

One of the things I love about the ColourQ Challenges is that not only is it easy to find inspiration in the colors but very often the inspiration piece can provide great design ideas too.  Like this week - all I could imagine was finding some flower stamps and copying that plate right onto a card front:

So that's pretty much what I did:

Stamps:  Hero Arts, Papertrey Ink, Studio Calico, Technique Tuesday
