Bee took a pencil covered it with wax paper

put glue on her twine twisted it

around the pencil and let it dry.

My craft room is in the basement and I was

all set and realize I forgot the wax paper upstairs

not want to go back up I looked around for what else I could use

Happy 4th

Guess I am not as techie as I thought because last night worked to schedule this to post today at 1 EST....
got to the airport to pick up my daughter's college room mate and nothing UGH!
 Her friend is visiting from Austraila and of course they lost her luggage.
We wait for quite a while but finally they said someone would bring it tomorrow.
Got a little dinner and now home at last...don't you love how life gets in the way?

Thanks to Sheri at My Sheri Crafts

for asking me to be a guest designer a true honor for me. She ask for a 4th of July card

I don't know why but I really struggled at first but happy with the way the card came out

The card started with a A2 Base

First mat Papertrey Ink Vintage cream

Second mat from Basicgrey Lemonade 6x6 stack

Main layer from FancyPantsDesigns

I used Tim Holt's distresser on all the edges

And inked them with Dune by Color Box

the stars on the left were done on my

Gypsy WildCard page 69 I hide the inner star

So the stars would cut solid

Cut them out of navy DCWV at 3.75

And DCWV Christmas glitter mat stack 3.50 I also use this to cut the 4th and background

I dabbed some red stickles on the stars and smeared it around for some sparkle

Happy 4th is from SVG cuts Made in the USA collection

I cut this from a scrap and inked it with Dune

The ribbon is some I tea dyed and crinkled myself

Some buttons from my jar and a little faux stitching

Happy Birthday

With Sympathy

I think one of the hardest card to may is a Sympathy card. I just try to keep them simple. This is from Wild Card page 32 cut at fit to page 3.75" this will fit in an A2 envelope. The paper is from K & Company with eyelets and ribbon from Making Memories. The With Sympathy on the front of the card is from Scrappy Moms Stamps Everyday Greetings the leaves are from BasicGrey and the inside sentiment is from Inkadinkado.

Together Forever

Cream card stock cut 8.5 x 5.5 scored at 4.25

First layer 4 x 4 1/8 run through cuttlebug embossing folder stylized flowers. Attached ribbon.

Bottom laye r 1 1/8 x 4 paper by BasicGrey Wisteria. Leaves cut from Wild Card page 57 cut at 4", 3 1/2", and 3". I crumble these in my hand then glued with Tombow at the base this makes them look like the are blowing. The saying is one I have had forever think it may be from Marcella by K that I purchased at Target.
