Bridal Showers!

I do believe that wedding season is upon us! What a wonderful time of year. I was excited to make this card. I need to make more wedding cards because they are so fun to make!

I made the dress using the Scallop Circle Bigz Die for the Big Shot. I have wanted to try this technique for awhile now. After I ran my paper through the Big Shot and had my scallop circle I snipped away a portion of the scallops on both sides to create a dress. It is so easy! I have seen this idea many times. This dress would also be cute as a princess dress or sweet sixteen dress. I embossed the bottom portion of the dress in my Big Shot, added some flowers and ribbon to the dress and of course I could not forget to add some  rhinestone bling! I also painted Dazzling Details at the top of dress to add more sparkle.

What has been going on in May.....see my photos below!

May Photo A Day Challenge
Day 1. peace - My kids were in bed and I was able to sit down and read. That was a peaceful moment for me that day!
Day 2. skyline - Downtown Denver. It was a gloomy day but I still love this shot.
Day 3. something you wore today - My favorite black ring. I love it, it is a flower and I think it is perfect for me! I bought it at Starlet a cute little boutique in Denver.
Day 4. fun - Date night with My Man, a margarita, and Mexican food. It was the perfect way to start the weekend!



Day 5. bird - The painting I made that hangs in my living room. I was inspired by a post at How About Orange. Such a fun and easy project!
Day 6. you - Me!
Day 7. someone that inspires you - My Mom, she is the best lady I know. She is beautiful, patient, loving, caring and creative. Hrm, I sound like I am describing myself! Just kidding. She is also taking college courses to get her degree in teaching. She also works full time and still finds the time to help me and my sis with our kids. I love her!
Day 8. a smell you adore - Pine-Sol. I love it. When I clean my bathroom, I MUST use Pine-Sol. When they mop the floors at work using Pine-Sol I am in heaven.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Boni, I adore this card. I've made this dress many times for Happy Birthday cards but never for a shower or a wedding. Love all your details.... the rhinestone placement on the ribbon and dress and the BoHo flower cluster. Great ideas and beautifully presented. TFS.

December Challenge: Brr! It's Cold!

Let's start December with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! The last Paper Pumpkin kit was so adorable. I can't wait to see what everyone is making with it. The Challenge this month is Brr! It's cold. I live in Colorado and it is usually really cold and snowy this time of year. Yesterday the temperature was 60 degrees. My son wore shorts to school. It does not feel like December yet! It is weird to see Christmas lights hanging with no snow. I don't think snow is even in the forecast in Denver. But, in the spirit of winter here is my sample this week! p.s. I am not complaining about the warmth, just noting that it is odd. ;) I used one of the cute snowflake cards to make this hot cocoa treat. I cut one flap off the card (the end with half a snowflake). Then I used sticky tape to tape the sides of the remaining snowflake piece, to make a pocket for the hot cocoa packet. I stamped some snowflakes along the bottom and embellished the centers with rhi...

New! Wishes and Stars Challenge

Let's welcome August with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . The theme this month is " Wishes & Stars ." It totally fits the July Paper Pumpkin kit. I love the options they provided in this kit and all the products too. You still have time to sign up for your Paper Pumpkin kit and to take advantage of the great deal going on now. Here is my sample this week. I made a star border with the different size star shapes from the kit. I traced the star outlines first, cut around my pencil lines then adhered the stars. (I thought it would look cleaner that way instead of having to cut around the stars and get in the tight areas.) The front says Make a and the inside actually says WISH, but I left my camera at work so I will show you the inside tomorrow. Don't forget to stop by the My Pumpkin Challenge today to for more inspiration. We would love for you to share your creations too! Don't be shy, even if you do not have a blog you can participa...

Inspiration Everywhere

Who knew when I sat down to watch the Big Bang Theory it would inspire me to make a card! Well, that is what happened. Every Thursday, My Man and I have a ritual: we have a yummy dinner and then sit back and watch the Big Bang Theory. We love that show. It cracks us up and we all know that laughing is good for you! I love all of the characters, though Sheldon holds a special place in my heart........ Yes, that is My Man. We were at a comic book store and I could not resist taking this photo, and then take it one step further by turning it into a funny inspirational poster! (So glad he has a great sense of humor) My mom, dad, and sister love buying him the same t-shirts that the Sheldon character wears. Do you see the resemblence? Ok, back to my card. As I was watching the show last night, Sheldon was wearing a Rubix Cube t-shirt, and in one of the scenes you can see a Rubix Cube cookie jar in the background, hmmm........it got me thinking. This wo...
