Sunday Afternoon

It's Sunday and I finally got to spend some time down in the craft room!  Last week was very busy with company and I had performances with The Allegra Singers.  I so love to sing! I live a very charmed life in that I am married to a wonderful man, have an amazing child and get to do things that make my soul happy like scrapbooking and singing! A very charmed life indeed.

Today's little creation was inspired by "Dynamic Duos" Challenge #1!  This is a brand new challenge blog where you create only using the colours they suggest and neutrals.  For the layout I decided to try Freshly Made Sketches #33 where the aim is to keep your project clean-lined and fresh.  I am also submitting this card to CAS-ual Fridays #51 in celebration of their first birthday.


 I used Close To My Heart Pear and Lagoon for the colours and a scrap from my Dotty For You paper package (that wonderful $5 pack of paper is going to be used for a long, long time).  I also used my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to cut out the flowers and used the  "Just for You" stamp on them.  I also used the stamp from the "Florentine" Workshop on the go to create the scalloped strip.

    That flower is gorgeous and I love the little button in the center of it! Singing and playing the piano are favorites of mine next to card making, so I can relate to your love for paper crafting and music! :) Thanks for joining us over at Dynamic Duos this week!

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #301

I feel like the rabbit from Alice In Wonderland running around saying, "I'm late!".  Like everyone else a ton is going on in our lives and on the one hand I know I am totally blessed to have so much, but on the other hand, I really like to nap... As many of you know, I am a very proud member of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and hate it when I am late with my submissions (or miss them entirely), and well this one is a little late!  But super cute! Using the Something Fierce Paper Collection and our beautiful 2-toned cardstock this card came together quickly.  I wanted this card to be bright, clean and simple, oh and more "boy"! I think I achieved it although with clean and simple cards I struggle with wanting to add distressing and extra ink and extra embellishments and... The cupcake and sentiment are from the Years of Sweetness (D1827) stamp set, and the cupcake shape can be found on the Cricut Artbooking Collection (#M45678). I used the retire
