Instagram May Patterned Paper Party Hop

  

I'm really enjoying playing along with these hops.  I was sad to miss a couple of them [last month].  That said, I'm playing in today's Patterned Paper Party Hop.  The side theme; distress.

I used one of the retired Elizabeth Craft Designer Paper Pads.  I am loving the mix of colors in this pad.

Add a geometric die, and yep, I'm loving this card.

As you can see I distressed the edges of both the panel, and the card base.  

Do you have a lot of DP hanging around?  Want to see more ways to use it?  Pop on over to the Patterned Paper Party Hop and check out the designers creations in the hop HERE.

Instagram May ATC Hop

This challenge/hop is so fun for me!  I went a digging and found these feathers I had pre-cut and then never used.  Well, I get to today!  I also went into my paper box and found scraps to use for the background, and the sentiments were in my extra sentiment box.  There's a complete win for this hop.

Once again, I am thrilled with these tiny works of art!

Memory Box Day

I'm back today with a new release for Memory Box, !  While it's a small release, it's pretty awesome!

For my card today, I used almost the entire release.  Don't worry, there still is another surprise you will see next week.  That said, let's get to today's card:

I used the following [new] products to make this card; Cinched Frames, Wild Leaves Dies, Rustic Watering Can Die.  I used the 6x6 Greenery Solid Colored Cardstock Pad for the leaves, and Birthday Greetings for the sentiment.

I'm kinda loving the bright green colors with the neutral background too.

I'll be back with the last of the new release next week~

CutCardStock Day

We are off for another CutCardStock Saturday!  I needed a masculine card, so graphic it is!

I used the following CCS card stocks; Textured Peach, Textured Adobo Orange, Textured Rubber Ducky, and Black Eclipse.  Of course, the card base is my standard, 130# White Heavy.

I'm hoping my son likes this card!

See you next week~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #308 - Travel

I thought about creating a card with a plane for this challenge.  However, I always use a plane for this type of challenge.  So, I went a digging into some really older stamps I have.  I found one from Innovative Stamp Creations.  [I was on the Design Team back in 2010!]. I was happy to see she is still in business!

This image is called Summer Vacation, and is perfect for this "travel" challenge (IMO).  I also used a butterfly from Clearly Besotted, and a sentiment from Tim Holtz.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to ATCAS #308, and show us how you use travel with your card.
