Love and Hugs!

Hi everyone!

It's time again to show you my Design Team creations with our February kit from the Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique (FB). You can find the boutique by clicking on the badge in my right sidebar.

This month's kit came from Echo Park and boy was it wonderful! I love all the colors!

Here's one card I made. I love the sticky letters that came in the kit! I added my Natural White card base (SU!) and some black crochet thread. In the corner I used the lace as a stencil and sponged some ink on the card stock.

If you follow my blog, you know that I like to layer accents to add to my cards. The heart piece is a cut out from the kit. I layered it onto Natural White c/s and Real Red c/s. Then on top of it I layered 3 of the flowers from the kit with one of the pearls. The banners are sticky accents from the kit along with the black baker's twine.

I also made a 6x6 album. I want to put pics of hubby and me in this and it be just for us. We had our 15th Wedding Anniversary on Feb. 7th. I have made pages in this for that occasion. :)

(or I can add a pic and journaling to this and add more pages. I have plenty of the card stock left!)

What do you think? Did I do the kit justice? :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

The Gals Are Getting Punchy!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a fantastic week.

Today's the 5th! I'm so excited to see what's in store for the Crafty Gals September Challenge!

Jeanette is our hostess this month. She challenged us to use a paper punch somewhere on our creation. She also said a bonus would be if we made our punched pieces into a piece of punch art...you know, make it something that it's not. :)

Well, I used my scalloped oval punch to make a.....well.......a fan, I guess?! hahahaha

But, knowing Jeanette like I do, I added a little something. The scalloped oval pieces are cut from an old recipe box divider! I know Jeanette loves seeing recycled items on projects. 

So, here it is....

 

 I have attempted...for the first time ever....to use the SunBurst (starburst) technique. I love it!

I used the Be Mine Echo Park papers for the technique. I inked the edges with Basic Grey Ink.

Oh look! No stamping! *GASP*

I also used my new (new to me anyway) Art Philosophy Cricut Cart for the rolled flower and doily heart.

 Here's a close up of what I did with the Art Philosophy cart. I just got it last week.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today!
