Using My Tools Thursday # 28 - Summer Congatulations

Welcome back for another Thursday Using My Tools Posting! We are in the midst of another snowstorn and a snowday for the kids so I thought with the not so nice weather here some warmer thoughts were in order. I purchased these Recollections stickers, OH MY!, many moths ago. My sister actually found them first at Michaels on clearance and then I went hunting for them a few weeks later. lol

 

I used quiling Bee from My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pad and bazil cardstock. The sentiment is from Hero Arts

The sketch is from Mojo Monday 3/2007. Mojo Monday Sketches can be found here.

I added a little extra bling on the orange and lime slices. It's such a simple design but it fits so well and the card is so cheery.

Thanks again for visiting. Please leave a comment below letting me know what you think is your favorite part of this card. I hope you come back on Saturday for my Scrapbook Page Saturday posting!

Tip Top Tuesday -These are for you

Hi all and welcome! Here again with another DT sample for Tip Top Tuesday. This weeks challenge is girly. That's easy for me! I love girly cards. I love adding the ribbons, flowers, bling and the list goes on an on. With this card I dove right in and added pink too! What would be girly without pink?! It was also a treat to use one of the digital images by our sponsor for this week, Heather Ellis; I chose Pure Innocence 20.

Since I typically send my cards to Operation Write Home (a non-profit organization that takes handmade cards donated to them and sends them to our deployed heros so they can write back to their loved ones-go check them out!) I kpet the design simple and without lots of dimension so it is easily pout through the US mail. 

This is the Deconstructed sketch I used for inspiration. 

You can find more sketches on my Sketch Blog tab above.

Products:

MME- Lost & Found Blush 6x6 paper pad

Jollee gems

bazzill cardstock

Copic markers

I hope you enjoyed viewing my card and take the time to browse some of my other postings and pages.
