2012: Celebrating the Past, Present & Future

I meant to spread these Celebration posts out more, but have minimal computer time to do it.

Sorry about that!

This is one of the reasons I don't allow the followers button on my blog.

It's feast or famine with my posts, and I don't want to drive peeps crazy! ;)

 

I have the Papertrey Ink set, Hello Sunshine, so I married it with a newer set, What the Doodle Waves for a gender-neutral card.

I'm thinking 💭 ...surfer guy or gal.

2015:Celebrating the Past, Present & Future

I am alll about angled panels~


I consistently park angled!


It's my defect, but I can use it on a card. ;)

Just like the angled pieces in Maile's inspiration~
for Celebrating the Past, Present and Future: 2015

  I used the angles for interest.


I made sure to keep my sentiment parallel to the bottom of the card, rather than the panel it sits on, so it also looks angled.



I had all these wonderful elements sitting on my desk, waiting to be used on a card.


They seem to get along well.


Have a good one~


 

 

Another Floral

I made it a point to stamp florals yesterday.

This was another I'm willing to share~

 Is it obvious I'm partial to orange? :)

Goodness, I can't seem to walk away from it!

 

Once again, my Big Shot is my go-to tool!

Small Things With Great Love

I stamped like crazy yesterday~and this was my favorite of the bunch.

Angling a die to crop a peek-a-boo print window gave the interest I was looking for (without compromising the simplicity of the presentation and sentiment).

I even popped the panel up because I'm so darn proud of it.  ;)

I can't imagine crafting without my Big Shot~

 This whimsical flower and patterned print window sing the same song as this sweet picture~

Thanks for stopping in!

I fit those sympathy cards in now and again~

 I pictured a Hawaiian dress when I stamped this one~with brown and tan colors.

Man do I miss Hawaii!!!

Have a beautiful weekend~

 

2013:The Past, Present & Future

Celebrating the Past,Present & Future: 2013

I don't own the sets highlighted at Papertrey from the 2013 post, but I pulled inspiration from a project to create another Christmas card.

(stamp: Papertrey Ink Wreath for All Seasons sentiment  dies: Papertrey Ink Tinsel & Tags Basics/Tinsel & Tags Scenery, Spellbinders Classic Circles,Avery Elle Elle-ments Double Pierced Rectangles)

The only reason I'm feeling Christmas in Feb., is because we've had snow the past few days.

I might as well use it to my advantage before I hear the birds chirping!

Here is  Ashley's creation, using stripes to back up a simple focal point~

 Here's an earthy combo that inspired me to use up patterned paper in my stash~

I don't have much else to chat about...I've got Friday brain!

Yayyyy for Friday~did I already mention that????

 Thanks for stopping by~
