Seriously Clean and Simple

I went seriously clean and simple for today's card.  I love the crispness it has!

Told ya it was simple!  I don't usually go THIS simple, but this works!


Garden boots


The inspiration for this card was two fold.  First, I wanted a simple card to send a nice note to my Aunt.  With it being the end of summer and lots of gardening is still going on, I planned on using GIFT FROM THE GARDEN.  But, I need a little more of a push, so the second bit of inspiration came from the color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary.

Not much explaining that needs to be done with this, huh!  The boots look so pretty in Watermelon Wonder with small Pool Party Flowers.  I used the TREE BUILDER PUNCH for that sweet little flower, it's nice to have a tiny flower to use for accents!

    Love that your card is so simple, clean and to the point. There's nothing to detract from the clear and concise message to your aunt. Wonderful all the way around! Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary!

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

I wanted the sentiment to show through, so the shaker shows through the card front.  To make this happen, I used two stars die cut from window sheet along with Frosted Se

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. 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
