Shine

Just popping in to share a card I made with some glitter I got the other day!  
I have been having way too much fun playing with it.  
I used my Silhouette to mask the 'SHINE' and Photoshop to print the rest of the quote.  I masked my Silhouette mask with the die-namics chevron die shapes so the 'SHINE' also has a gradient, chevron-pattern in the glitter.  

I'm so happy how this turned out.  
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Just popping in to share a fun Mother's Day card I created for the mom of true boys!
I definitely did not start this card out with this in mind... 
I had intended to make something sweet and pretty.  

After I got the flowers and leaves together, 
all I could think of were army men nesting in a mom's flowers.  
At my house, it's not necessarily army men, but instead dinosaurs or super hero figures.  
I know it's only a matter of time before I start finding army men.  

So, I went with it.  The army figure and the stars are from Paper Smooches Little Fella.  
The flowers and leaves are from Paper Smooches Reflections and the background is Geo-Graphic. 

I also added a little Studio Calico mist in the background.  (One drop landed on the gun of the army man so I was bummed about that but I think you still see the army man... or i hope!)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Moxie Fab World Gingham Challenge Part 2

As promised, I'm back to share my 2nd card for the Moxie Fab World gingham challenge, honoring Paper Crafts Magazine Card Creations Vol 10.   
I pretty much am OBSESSED with Paper Smooches Reflections.  
Seriously peeps, best stamp set ever.  

I like that it is still cute-sy but can lend itself to more serious occasions.  :)  

Just like in my first card (here), I 'kissed' my gingham with the leaves to create these gingham leaves.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Simply Said.  

Hint: It took a LOT of tries to get these leaves to stamp the gingham crisply.  If you have troubles with your ink looking blotchy, try using Versamark.  It definitely helped!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
