A Pinwheel Thank You for CCMC249

Today's card is made using the great sketch for the challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary.  Here is the sketch for the week.



Since I've had the pinwheel sizzlet out this week, I made a card using it and more of the Sunshine and Sprinkles DSP that I am loving.




I used Marina Mist CS as my base card, embossed with Cloudy Day EF.   The Whisper White CS layer is also embossed with Cloudy day, and blends in nicely.  I wanted to represent nature in the layers, so I added in layers of DSP from Sunshine and Sprinkles.  The yellow for the sun, green for the grass, and the blue with clouds for sky.  Finally, a fun pinwheel is added to the top of the layers and a greeting from Wishes Your Way.  This card is fun and looks like Spring to me!! 

I hope you will join us for the sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.  Just hop over to their blog for all the details and to add your card!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad

The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confetti Star Punch an
