Love Angel...AKA Cupid...

Theres a great challenge going on over at SCS to create a collage card...I had a scrap stack I found at Walmart a while back for only 4.99 which I got out to make the card with...I think the colors in this stack are so pretty...I layed the different pieces out in a way I found pleasing to the eye then added punched out butterflies and an angel, some bling and ribbon that I threaded through the hole on the tag...Popped some of it up on dimensionals and thats it! This is my second time doing a collage type card..I really had fun with it...TFL!
Supplies: Scrap Pack from Walmart, Pop Dots, Bling, MS Cupid and Butterfly Punch and Ribbon
Ok now I have that song "Cupid Draw Back Your Bow" on my mind... so heres some Sam Cooke....Enjoy!

Friends give full color to our lives...

I love designer papers and whenever I go out to the craft store I tend to flip through and oogle over all the pretty colors and patterns...I have been blessed to have my Aunt Lori keep me stocked up on some great designer paper stacks (Thank you Aunt Lori if your reading this :D)
This paper is from one of those DCWV stacks and I just LOVE the colors in it...They are so happy to me, reminds me of springtime...There was a challenge over at SCS Clean and Simple Challenge #51 to use this type of paper and make a card so I covered the whole card front with a sheet of paper then punched out butterflies in coordinating colors and added some bling for sparkle with a vellum sentiment I matted on white...I wanted to say a special thank you to MissBoo who hosts the challenges every week to give us inspiration along with the design team for all their wonderful creations! This is my favorite challenge and I look forward to it everyweek! Thanks for stopping by today! Have a Wonderful Week....
Supplies: DCWV Papers, MS Butterfly Punch, Bling, Vellum and Pop Dots

Wild West

Hey I am finally putting up a card thats not Valentines! I had a request from someone to make her a card for her son in law who works for Wells and Fargo and to somehow incorporate that into the card...she had mentioned maybe a horse and buggy...so with the help of google ( I LOVE google) I found this image and I thought it would make a great masculine card pairing it with black and kraft....It needed some oomph! And I remembered a wonderful idea I saw from Momis Mama over at SCS on this fantastic card she made here...Its one of my all time favorites by her....I need some lessons on how to make it look as good as her rope but I thought it added alot to the card, then finished it off with four black sticker brads (I just love those because they are so easy to use and no bumps come through and they look like real brads) So thanks to Momis Mama for her wonderful inspiration for this card!
