Paper Rosette

Hey there! You know how much I love finding a fun challenge. The Friday Mashup is one that I've been spying for a while, but have never gotten around to doing... I'm finally playing along with the Everything's Coming Up Rosettes Challenge! Oh how fun!


It's an exciting day because I also pulled out my Simply Scored for the first time to create this rosette (I'm not sure I love the name, but I do love the style!) I've made them before (I called them acordian flowers - Hee!) but it sure was labor intensive! The Simply Scored is a fantabulous tool! :)

Here are the DEEts:

I started with a Baja Breeze card and added a piece of card stock of the same color for a little textured piece. Not sure if you can see it well in the photo, but I scored a grid on a piece of Baja Breeze and added it under my ribbon strip. Then I took some book print, stamped with the sentiment from PTI's Think Big Favorites, and matted it with some Not Quite Navy card stock. I added a strip of Not Quite Navy Striped Grosgrain ribbon and my paper rosette, made with some Pocket Full of Posies DSP and embellished with a simple Not Quite Navy button tied up with Linen Thread.

Congratulations Erin!

Sorry for the terrible picture. It has been dreary here the past few days and I haven't been able to get a good photo. Today is the baby shower of a co-worker of mine, Erin. I was excited to create a cute card for her and baby Emily after I picked up this sweet monkey musical toy from her baby registry.


I used the layout for this week's Mojo Monday challenge for this card.


Here are the DEEtails:

I started with some Crumb Cake card stock and layered on some Chocolate Chip crad stock, edged with the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border and some Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing plate. Then I stamped the sentiment from SU!'s Swirls and Curls Verses in Chocolate Chip ink on Very Vanilla card stock, matted with som Blushing Bride. Then I added some branches punched with the bird punch and stamped the cute monkey from SU!'s Fox and Friends. I hung her upside down and embellished her and the branches with some Itty Bitty punch flowers. I added a Rhinestone Jewel for a little sparkle. Hope you like it!

Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge

Well, hello there! I see you've popped in to check out my card for this week's Pals Paper Arts Challenge. Here it is!


I'm so pleased about my creation for this week's challenge. Our talented Pal, Margaret Moody, is our in house sketch artist. I love her sketches, even though I normally struggle with sketch challenges. But this one turned out quite favorably, if I do say so myself! :)


Here are the DEEtails:

I started with a Soft Suede card and adhered a piece of Pool Party DSP to it. Then I stamped the image from SU!'s Just Believe on some Whisper White card stock and trimmed it to size. I stamped the flower images from the same stamp in Pool Party and cut each flower out. I adhered them over the original image with Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I added some Soft Suede Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and the sentiment from SU!'s Spring Solitude stamped in Lucky Limeade. I added some butterflies made with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit to finish off my card.

Be sure to play along with us at Pals Paper Arts this week! You can use your favorite products to play! I can't wait to see your creations! :)
