The Hey Lady Insiders sentiment seemed a great landing spot for my ladybug designed card. I inked up the Taylored Expressions Hey Lady kit which included stamp, stencils, die along with a coordinating Happy Trails stamp set and foiled sentiment for my card. The ladybug background can be used as a total background or die cut the ladies out for multiple cards. So if I was making one background I might as well make two! Cute new set and glad I added it to my collection. I have no will-power especially when it comes to cute.

My card today will be shared with:

All that softball running was piece of cake after our 6 year old granddaughter made a visit to the “elf room” and made her first card. I told her making cards is not so easy. She did a great job, followed all the instructions to create her card and envelope for her little brother who was a little under the weather.

I wanted to share her achievement with all of you. Thanks for stopping in for a peek. I appreciate you and your time.

My card today was inspired by the book The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants which is a best friends story and a pair of jeans shared by these friends. So using the pocket die from a recent Gina K Designs die, I created “jeans” using blue cardstock, stamping gauze background stamp in navy ink and ink blended the edges. Stamped and die cut a number of flowers from the GKD All Occasion Flowers set and added a SimonSaysStamp hugs die to complete my card.

So happy that Brooke was able to come for a sleepover and she decided to play with my new stamp set from Unity Stamp Company’s Functioning Chi Chi. This stamp image cracked me up and had a lot of fun watching Brooke create her “more is best’ cards.

Not sure if my cards will be as creative as hers!

A sympathy card for a dear friend who recently lost someone close to her and her husband. My background was embossed with Taylored Expressions Diamond embossing powder and the Star Fall Background stamp. A circle was die cut and I ink blended rainbow clouds using one of my stencils, added a die cut dragonfly and sentiment from a Gina K Designs stamp set that was on my desk and I will hopefully find and file away :).

My card today is for our youngest granddaughter who just recently finished her first season of softball. She told her father at the end of her season that she’s not sure if she will play again because it’s a lot of running. The reasoning of a 6 year old!! Both patterned papers were from my stash and they just jumped out at me. I layered both on light blue cardstock and embossed with my much loved swiss dots embossing folder. The bunny batter is from The Cat’s Pajamas and a few added pieces of 3D sticker ephemera.
