Flowery birthday

This is for 365 Cards'Day 186 - Pick-a-Pattern Challenge. I decided to make the curvy pattern the focal point of this simple card. The hubby likes this card the most among those I've done so far.

Blue patterned paper from an old old kit from AAS, foam flower from AAS, embellishments are punched from scrap paper using Carl Sakura punchers, ribbons from Carolina's, sentiment is cut out from DCWV Spring Glitter Stack.

ETA: I sent this card to Mrs. P for her birthday.

Buttons and bows for Christmas

A Christmas card to be used for 365 Cards' Day 182 - Buttons and Bows Challenge. It was a bit of a challenge because I had to go out and get a green button--didn't have any!

Red ribbon from Divisoria, green ribbon was recycled from an old gift, patterned papers from Craft Express, cream cardstock from Veco, red buttons from AAS, green button from Carolina's.

beautiful birthday

For one of my dearest friends. The sentiment refers to her admirable inner beauty, her sheer gorgeousness, and to her beauty spa business.

Flowers, patterned paper, butterfly and button are all from All About Scrapbooking. Cardstock from Veco, gold ribbon from National Bookstore crafts section.

This is for 365 Cards' Day 184 - White Space Challenge. Here's the sketch. Although I think I made the circle a bit too big. Hee.

Cruz Family Home-warming

I wasn't inclined to make anything for 365 Cards' Day 183 - Imagine This: Wrinkled Challenge. But I found this old paper--some may remember it from the heyday of Tickles when we were younger--when we were cleaning over the weekend, so I decided to use it for this card for the Cruzes' housewarming gift.

Sentiment detail:

The hubby likes this because it is a bit masculine, or so he says. Even if there is a flower with a pearl and gems. Heeehee. Cream cardstock from Veco, black cardstock from Prestige Paper Products, wrinkled paper from Tickles circa 1992 (?), flowers and pearl brad from AAS, and gems from Mark Richards.

I'm also entering this in CPS 233. Here's the sketch:

For Stella's birthday

Tried to do a little clean-and-simple on this card. I just wanted to use this leftover cute patterned paper. This is for my niece's birthday.

I found the trim on sale from AAS at P10 for a meter (!). Cream cardstock from Veco, pink cardstock and pink heart embellisment from AAS, little girl PP from an old Craft Express stash, and the pink rhinestone is from the crafts section of National Bookstore.

This is entered for 365 Cards' Day 181 - Super Sketchy Sunday Challenge. Here's the sketch.

Birthday card for Aubrey

365 Cards' Boy Meets Girl challenge was to use papers for a boy on a girl's card or vice versa. Found these grungy papers in a "Little Boy" collection in my stash. I thought about imagery for little girls and thought of unicorns (!). So here this is.

Patterned paper from All About Scrapbooking, silver cardstock from Star Paper Stardream, cream cardstock from Veco, blue rhinestones from Divisoria, blue ribbon from SM. O diba. This also fits 365 Cards' Buried Deep challenge. because I have never used the patterned paper, ribbon or rhinestones on a layout before.

Strawberry Lemonade birthday

For 365 Cards' Mixed Drinks challenge. I found the drink chipboard embellishment in a pack that Yen gave me. I'm sending this to Tenten in a bit.

Patterned paper from DCWV Spring Stack, chipboard embellishment, lace, and green cardstock from AAS, cream cardstock from Veco, grosgrain ribbon from Carolina's.
