Date Night

Yesterday I really enjoyed starting my day off with a bit of crafting so I decided to do the same this morning. It really gets my creative juices flowing and prepares me for my day of design team work. 

This card was made with one of my all time favorite collections...Chickaniddy's Date Night. I love the color palette and that it includes all the accents you need to make beautifully layered and embellished cards.

While I was assembling this card, I couldn't help but think of my hubs. We schedule regular date nights and I believe it's one of the reasons we are so close after 23 years of marriage. How about you? Any date nights in the near future? Maybe today's the day to plan one! 

Hello Love

Hello! Today I have a lovey-dovy card share for you that I created with an old favorite, Date Night from Chickaniddy. Can you see why this collection is one to dig up and use again? Great colors fun accents and patterned papers. And I adore that little dancing couple!!!

Another thing I love, and one that's real trendy right now, is the foil paper. Just a little shimmer makes such a pretty touch! 

Make a Wish

I miss summer already! Do you? It's been cloudy and wet here in North Carolina for four days now and it's making me miss summer! So I thought I'd set aside the autumn, Halloween and Christmas crafts for a bit and play with Chickaniddy's Twirly Girl collection.

I love all these colorful floral prints! They make me think of spring...my favorite season. :) Don't get me wrong, I love fall too, just not so many cloudy days in a row. :)

Notice the little paper bow on the mini clothespin? That my dears is a darling little accent included in Reverse Confetti's Tagged Tote Confetti Cuts. Too cute, right? It's all in the details! 

Thank You Teacher

Hope you have a creative day!

Twirly Girl

It's feeling like a Twirly Girl kind of day!  Chickaniddy's Twirly Girl collection that is. I created this girly birthday card with the line and I'm tickled with the results. I love that vintage style mom with cake sticker along with the calendar piece that allows you to personalize the card.

I think the Twirly Girl colors looks fantastic with Kraft stock too. You know what else I like about this card? The mini wood clothespin! I was out of those little suckers and for a couple projects so I turned my office upside down trying to find a stray one....or one I could easily steal from another project without ruining it! Desperate times call for desperate measures, you know? ;) Thankfully I found a pack when I was at the craft store buying yarn recently. Ahhhh...more mini clothespins. Happy dance!

Before I head out...have you herd of the Curtain Call? It's a challenge site for card makers and one of my friends from the card making world asked me to join them for their July 1 - Birthday Bash inspiration challenge. Click here to play along.

Hope yours is a happy twirly girl kind of day!

Hello

Hello! I have a card share for you today that I created with both Chickaniddy's Date Night and Twirly Girl collections and this month's card sketch. This is the third sketch of Pam's that I've worked with and I must say she makes it so easy to create gorgeous cards just by following them as is.

Supplies: Paper (DN140S06; DN140S11; TG140S08) Clear Stamps (DN14ST01) Stickers (DN14EB02; TG14EB02) Brads (TG14EB06)

(Buy Now - $4.99)

Can you tell which papers and accents are from which collection? If I hadn't made the card myself, I wouldn't be able to tell...everything works together seamlessly.

Mom

Hello Chickaniddy fans! I have a Mother's Day card share that I created with both the Date Night and Twirly Girl collections. 

Supplies: Paper (DN140S05; TG140S07; TG140S08) Silver Foil Paper (CN14SP002) Mini Sticker Banners (DN14EB03) Stickers (TG14EB02) Brads (TG14EB06)

I couldn't resist using this image of a girl on the phone for my greeting since those of us who live far from our moms call them on Mother's Day.

One of my favorite things about both the Date Night and Twirly girl collections are the sheets of paper with printed images and sentiments.  A crafty little secret of mine is to cut these sheets up entirely before I begin a project so I can easily mix, match and play with them. 

Another thing I love about Chickaniddy are the accents! Here I've mixed the Foil Paper, Brads and Alphabet Stickers to create a textured sentiment. 

Hope all you moms enjoyed your day!
