I Heart Spring Colors

Hey everyone. This weekend brought another great sketch from BEATE. I wanted to do a happy card for my boss since I will be leaving work in a couple of weeks. I owe her a lot of gratitude for being a great mentor so I hope she enjoys the card.



The SKETCH was fairly simple and let a lot of room for creativity. Just the way I like it :) The base is 4 1/2 inche square piece of basic black. (Can you tell I am using my stash? Almost all of my cards have had black bases.) The polka dotted paper came from a kit paper pack, although I am not sure what kit is was. It was a gift. I just love it! The strip of squares is actually a sticker adhered to basic black and comes from the same kit. I stamped these great flowers on white cardstock then stamped the hello sentiment from Stampendous below. After coloring those in I mounted it in pink cardstock then adhered it to the card. For some space filler, I stamped 'Just a Note' from Studio G in the top corner and added a ribbon at the main image.

I just love these bright colors and I hope you do to. Mahalo for stopping by!

Hey Friend

Aloha ladies and gents! I hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start. I have a Beate sketch to show you but I am not quite sure which weekend this was for. Everything just runs together as school starts to wind down.



I just love how this turned out. The card base is 4 1/2 inch square of basic black with a 4 inch square of this great American Traditions flower paper. Very Hawaiian =) I scalloped the edges of a piece of Bazzil green and added it to the left side. My main image is a kitty from Studio G stamped on white then layered on black. The words "you're purrrfect" are beside the image, also from Studio G. I stamped 'my friend' from Stampendous on the bazzil green and added a piece of wild ribbon around the card. I finished the card off by adding doodles on the scallops and the main image, which I am not sure you can actually see.

More V-day

Aloha everyone. So I am freakin' out! I have set my thesis defense date which is March 12. What that means is that I have TONS AND TONS of work to do before the end of February. I am so stressed. I have been in front of this computer for the past 4 1/2 hours typing my research. I NEED A BREAK!

So, I have a couple more Valentine's Day cards to show you both of which are pretty simple because they are for the men in my life-my boyfried and my dad. This first one is for my boyfriend. I ticket punched the corners and rounded others then stamped I Love You on the bottom left. The heart is a brass-toned charm that I received in a Christmas package.



This second one is for my Dad because I am daddy's little girl. I'm not sure what this particular fold is called but I had seen it on SCS before so I decided to give it a try. I kept the colors the same as the above on but changed it up a bit. I added this scalloped heart as the center and two photo corners.



Mahalo for stopping by and listening to my panic attack. :D
