The same night I let the kids play in my craft room and create cards for Grandma, I also created the following two cards. It's a great way to utilize those scraps. I find myself hoarding them more often than I use them. (I'm addicted to paper. Even my husband knows this. LOL)
Recipe:
Paper: Sweetheart (retired), Basic Paper Fundamentals, Glacier CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Cutie Pie (retired)
Ink: Black (Versafine)
Tools: Craft Heater, Craft Tray, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Shinhan Alcohol Markers, Chevron Border Punch, Journal Pen, Micro-Tip Scissors, Stitch Guide Ruler (CTMH)
Recipe:
Paper: Twitterpated (retired), Sorbet CS, Sweetleaf CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Hi (retired) CTMH
Ink: Black (Versafine)
Tools: Craft Heater, Craft Tray, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Shinhan Alcohol Markers, Chevron Border Punch, Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)

Cooincentally, after making the second card, I decided that I love the thick twine. Go figure. LOL

Good morning and Happy Friday to you! I have been enjoying warmer temperatures and watching the snow disappear. The kids are getting outside more and already looking forward to the moment they get their trampoline back.
Last night, in the midst of watching a shocking episode of "Scandal", I created my next card.
Recipe:
Paper: Footloose (retired), White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Hi (CTMH)
Ink: Black (VersaFine)
Tools: Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Craft Heater, Crystal Blue Alcohol Marker, Honey Alcohol Marker, Paper-Piercer (CTMH)
Other: White Daisy Brads (retired), White Daisy Grosgrain Ribbon (retired) (CTMH), White Twine, Blue Button (Jo-Ann's)
The colors, as much as the photo itself, inspired the papers I chose.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
1) Retro Sketches RS#109 Challenge
2) Colour Me CMCC#15 Challenge
I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend. Happy crafting!

Good morning. Here is my second card made with my adorable "Hi" stamp. A clear stamp that is just $2.95 is unheard of. I like the possibilities of this stamp with that whimsical flower.
I decided to try something different today with my next card. I was inspired by a sketch I found on Pinterest, and when I went to the sketch site, I scrolled down and saw a card that inspired me even more than the sketch. You can see the card that inspired me here.
Recipe:
Paper: Caboodle (retired), Sky CS, Sunny Yellow CS (retired), White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamp: Hi
Ink: Black (VersaFine)
Tools: Spots & Dots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), Scallop Die (Spellbinders), Circle Stax Die (MFT), Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors, Clear Detail Embossing Powder, Craft Heater, Sweet Leaf Alcohol Marker, Crystal Blue Alcohol Marker, Honey Alcohol Marker (CTMH)
Other: Spring Harmony Brads (retired) (CTMH)
I do not qualify for the sketch challenge because only Unity stamps can be used. But if you happen to have any in your stash and would like to play along, you only have until April 9th. I love how my card turned out. It only took 15 minutes to throw together, too!
Hope your weekend is fabulous. Thank you for stopping by again today!
