Thinking of You

I'm a breast cancer survivor and I love all things pink. The size of this card is a change for me because it is 4 x 4 instead of my normal A2.

Life is a Rose Garden

Just popping in with a quick card featuring a sentiment from Paulette at Create with TLC.

I started by embossing Kraft cardstock with a Paper Studios embossing folder. Then I added Close To My Heart "Daisy White" ink over the embossing. The piece of rose petal paper is from my stash. I cut, embossed and stencil the sentiment with Spellbinders Nestabilites "Labels 13" and Close To My Heart "Baby Pink" ink. The bow was made with white "bridal tulle" while the roses were made with the Cricut Close To My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge. The final touches were the pink pearl bling and foam dots.

No Monkeying Around

Is this the cutest card or what. Paulette at Create with TLC has created the perfect sentiment to go with the Cricut Create A Critter character. Creating this card was a "no-brainer" but a little out of my comfort zone. 



For the most part I gear my cards towards adults and usually include a colored digital image. This card with the cute critter could go for either children or adults and as you can see, no Copic coloring.

This week's challenge is "Going Round." We want to see your creations made with circles. Be sure to to stop by the Krafty Krew blog to see what the rest of the design team has created and to enter your own project.



This was an empty make-up compact that I decided to turn into a girlfriend "pick-me-up." I tried a "new-to-me" technique of "no line coloring" after viewing this fantastic tutorial. I love that it gives the image a watercolor look.
