Smoky Camera

Good morning, Friends! Well, I am safely home! I got home yesterday early afternoon after a very scary drive home over the mountains. Snowy, snow packed, icy, and the wind blowing the snow all over that made visibility very low. Ugh! So I am thankful to be home! Today will be laundry day and probably some grocery shopping. I also need to get some stamping done. I have a new stamp set to play with that we got at the Catalog Premier Party! Can't wait to do something with it! Lots of fun stuff in the new catty! 

Today's card was inspired by one I had pinned a while ago. Super simple and clean! 

• Card base is Very Vanilla
• Stamp the greeting from Peachy Keen onto a piece of Very Vanilla using Calypso Coral and round the top corners with the corner rounder
• Use the scallop edge border punch to punch a strip of Coastal Cabana and adhere to back of stamped panel and then adhere to card with dimensionals
• Stamp camera image in Smoky Slate and cut out
• Adhere camera to an Essentials Wooden Element and then adhere to card
• Add a large rhinestone to camera lens

Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Card Recipe: Stamps- Peachy Keen; Paper- Very Vanilla, Coastal Cabana; Ink- Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate; Accessories- Essentials Wooden Element, corner rounder, scallop edge border punch, large rhinestones, dimensionals

CCMC Card "Create"tions Week 3 Favor

Hello everyone! Well, the Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions edition has come to the end of week 3. This was it! What a fun edition! And SO many amazing ideas! I hope you didn't miss it! You can still sign up and view all the card sets and download each tutorial!!! Just sayin'… ;)

So at the end of each week during the edition, each designer shares a little favor with everyone that features the stamp set that was used during that week. This past week I used the Peachy Keen set! What a fun set with coordinating paper, washi tape, framelits, oh my! So I decided to make a frame. All of the products in the suite seemed to say "frame" - lol!

This is actually pretty easy to put together! I bought a plain frame from a craft store and covered it with strips of Retro washi tape! How fun is that!! And so easy! Then I decorated with stamps from the Peachy Keen set and the coordinating On Film framelits. I also used the circle and starburst framelits, too. The heart comes from the Essentials Wooden Elements and the camera has a large rhinestone for the lens. I thought this frame would be fun for two pictures and that's why I cut two frames. I was thinking along the lines of those small school pictures! Or how about cute pictures of you and your friends?! Whatever your imagination can create! 

Don't forget to see what the other designers made! You can find their creations at Create with Connie and Mary! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your wonderful comments on my card sets! I really appreciate it! I hope you have gotten lots of great ideas these last three weeks! Have a super day!

Peachy Keen Filmed

Good morning, Friends! Ahhh! It's Friday! We will be leaving for Denver later today. Nick has two soccer games this weekend. And that's all the traveling to the East Slope we will have to do this season! Woohoo! That will help save some money - lol! It's nice when we can do a double header like this and don't have to come back. And I think the roads should be ok for us too! Nick is enjoying his last day of Spring Break! I am really excited about school starting up again on Monday! Maybe I'll get something done - lol!

Today's card was the first one I made for the Create with Connie and Mary sketch for this week. Not my favorite and that's why the other one was posted. But I don't hate it either. Anyway, it is what it is - lol!

• Stamp the sentiment from Peachy Keen onto a strip of Very Vanilla that measures 3/4" x 3" using Coastal Cabana ink and flag the end
