Bird Trio

Hello all and hope you are enjoying your weekend! Today I'm sharing a card for the current Catch the Bug challenge:  Birds, Bees, Butterflies

I'm featuring birds and butterflies using Bugaboo Stamps' Bird Trio Summer digi stamp.  A little bright and colorful...using up some older papers.  I'm trying really hard to use up my stash, but temptation is everywhere!!  So join in if you can!

This meets the following challenges: Crafting With An Attitude: Anything Goes, Crafty Sentiments Designs: Anything Goes, and Through the Craft Room Door: Always Anything Goes.

Mad for Science Birthday

Yay - it's almost Friday!!  It's been a long week for me - still recovering from a respiratory infection, Beanie starting softball, Bit's piano lessons, mid-week services, Beanie's art class, and the beginning of 4H.  And I LOVE it all!!

So I'm able to play along this week with From the Heart I Heart Sketches (also known as Designed 2 Delight) - a card for Bean's 10th (not till May, but I've been super organized this year (so far), even have Easter Basket goodies on their way from Amazon!!).   My card is flipped to put the circle on top.  I'm featuring From the Heart Mad for Science stamp.

Why this for a 10 year old girl?  Because she won 2nd place in the science fair this year!!  And 1st place last year.  Obviously a proud mama moment.  That's it for today!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  This meets the following challenges: Crafty Creations: Anything Goes, Inspiration Destination: Anything Goes, and Simon Says: For a Special Lady/Girl (my baby's birthday!!).

Girl with Heart Balloons

Hello all and Happy Tuesday!  I've been in bed for a couple weeks with a respiratory infection - and I'm still exhausted!!  But I'm here to share a card for this weeks challenge at Catch the Bug blog which is ANYTHING GOES!!

I did one of those die cut gate folds from Splitcoaststampers tutorial found here.  It closes with a tuck under the circle/heart.

The picture makes it look like the opening is crooked, but it was die cut and looks pretty good IRL.  I always like anything goes - since it makes it easier to make a card with a purpose.  This was obviously for Valentine's Day.

Another project for Valentine's Day are these little origami pockets for the girls' teachers.  I found the super simple folding instructions on Pinterest.  All of these feature Bugaboo Stamps' Make it Snappy Girl Valentines Day.  This image also comes without a sentiment so you can personalize with your own sentiment.  So join in this week if you can!!

Heart Monster Gate Fold

Hello all.  Today begins a new challenge at Catch the Bug: Bingo (please see post for Bingo card)!

My Bingo is Bugaboo Image/Red/Sparkle.  I saw a technique on Splitcoaststampers that I HAD to try - Die Cut Gate Fold.

Isn't that cool?  I just love that opening!  I'm featuring Bugaboo Stamps Heart Monster.  The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin.  That's about all for today - hoping for a relaxing weekend.  Thanks for stopping by and join in if you can.

This meets the following challenges: Crafting with Friends: Anything Goes, Making Memories Crafting: Valentine, and Simply Papercraft: Anything Goes.
