Butterfly Card

I decided to enter a few challenges today.  Here's the card I made for them:

I think I may have gone a little pattern crazy with this one, which is way out of my comfort zone, but so be it.  This card measures 5.75" square.  The butterfly came from Hannah Montana, and the circle came from Birthday Bash.  I added some Stickles to the wings (which didn't photograph so well), and then I put a few stitching lines to help the butterfly and circle stand out a bit. 

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Challenge #41--Pick Your Challenge (Pink and Glitter): Paper Playtime

Challenge #1--Pick Your Own Holiday (Learn About Butterflies Day): Scrapbookaholic by Abby

I hope you like my little card.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!



Guitar Club Binder

My older daughter is just SUPER excited because she just joined the Guitar Club at her school.  She's going to be learning all about the strings and some simple chords and simple songs.  Then, in May, she'll get to give a little concert.  Well, ever since we got the application to join the club, it's all she's been talking about.  So, we decided to make a cover for the binder she'll need for the club meetings.  Here it is:



She wanted it to look a little like the You Rock Card I made a little while ago, so I used the same guitar cut from the Hannah Montana cartridge and cut a background circle from Birthday Bash.  The lettering and the music notes also came from Hannah Montana.  I just wanted to share our little project with you...now I'm off to make my first waterfall card!  :o)  Thanks for stopping by today!

You Rock Card

Well, I finally got the chance to make another card today. I go a few days without creating anything, and it just feels like FOREVER!!! I think I was getting a little "V-Day"ed out...too much pink, red, and heart-shaped stuff!  But I finally got some inspiration...and I have a lot of inspirations for this card.  First of all, I've been saving bunches of card sketches from The Sweetest Thing, and I've been dying to try one out.  This is the one that inspired me today:

Also, Card Creations and More by C is having a challenge in which we are supposed to use black, white, and one other color, and My Pink Stamper is challenging us to participate in her blog hop by using black and other colors in a project. Finally, I REALLY need some Thank You cards!!!  So, here's what I came up with:

Sorry, this isn't the best pic...it's a really gloomy day today.  It may be hard to tell by the lighting, but I did use only black, white, and teal.  I designed this on my Gypsy with the sketch above in mind.  The guitar came from the Hannah Montana cart, and the circles and rectangle came from Birthday Bash.  The sentiment is computer generated.  I got to use my new Cuttlebug on this card, too.  I used the Seeing Spots and Stars embossing folders.  I added a few stitching marks, and I was all done.  I hope you like this simple little card!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
