Dance in the Rain Card for Butterfly Reflections Ink

I'm so excited to be guest designing for Butterfly Reflections Ink today! I've been shopping their online shop since my local store closed and am always happy with the great service and fun products!

The cute Over the Rainbow stamp set really caught my eye- I love the mix of images and sentiments!

The idea for this card came from the 'dance in the rain' sentiment. I thought it would be cute to make the umbrellas look like they were dancing in the rain.  I stamped the umbrellas first, using 4 different colored inks.  Then I stamped the sentiment just above.  I added some splatters next and when they were dry I added a few sequins.

This set is really cute!  I can't wait to get it inky again :)

I hope you get a chance to pop over to the Butterfly Reflections Ink store- they have so many cute things in stock!

Thanks for sound by today!

Rain or Shine Layout

Hello!

Today I want to share a layout I created for my Disney World book!  This one is about our day at Hollywood Studios.  We had a great time there but it rained off and on!  Here is my page:

I picked out some My Minds Eye and We R Memory Keepers papers for this one.  The embellishments are by Studio Calico and Little Yellow Bicycle.  There are some label stickers by Crate Paper as well.

The color of these Thickers is perfect!  They are kind of a mushroom color and go with so many lines!

The canvas clouds were spritzed with mists before I adhered them to the page.  These cute rhinestone drops were perfect with these clouds!

This picture of my stepmom and sister cracks me up!  As soon as they bought these ponchos, it stopped raining!  Better safe then sorry but too funny anyways!  Hee!  Can you see the kids underneath them, too?

Well, thanks for peeking at my page today!

Hello There Card

Hi There!

Here it is the last day of April- can you believe it?  Spring seems to be flying by this year!  I'm busy making all my summer plans and I'm pretty sure that it will be just as busy!  I love making plans! :)

Today I want to share a fun card using a mix of different products:

I've mixed stamps from Paper Smooches, Studio Calico for Hero Arts, Stampin' Up! and Teresa Collins Designs on this one!  Can you pick them all out?? :)  I had bunches of stamps on my desk when I was doing some organization and this just sort of happened!  I'm happy with how it turned out and will have to mix up my stamps more often!

Everything is stamped on this card except for the one strip of orange striped patterned paper.  I colored the telephone with Copic Markers and pieced it onto the chevron stamped oval.  The splatters in the background were created with white Dylusions mist- my new favorite white mist!

Well, better get back to my day!  I have quite a long list of to-dos and not much time to get through them all!  :)  As always, thank you for stopping by to see what I've been working on!

Walk Together Layout

Hello!

Did you have a good Easter? We had a great day full of fun with our family and friends. The kids looked so cute all dressed up! Here is a quick picture of my girls with their cousins from my side of the family:

Aren't they a good looking, happy bunch! I love them all so much!

Along with the holiday, I also cropped on Friday night and received my first kit from Studio Calico! I loved the April kit so much, I had to have it! I pulled it out and made this page featuring my girls from last summer:

I used another one of Kelly's great sketches from the Sketch Book 4 class. I think this is number 3. I've done a page for each sketch so far and I am loving it! Money well spent! :) I am going to try to finish another one this afternoon, too!

Well, I better get going- the day is going too fast as it is and I don't want to send all day online... Thanks for stopping by my blog today and I hope you have a great day!

A Springtime Hello Card

Hello and happy Monday!

Did you have a good weekend? I spent the weekend with my family- we had a great time and I even got some crafting time in! Today is another story though... I've got a little girl home sick with the stomach bug. Yuck! I'm hopeful that it won't make the rounds through the whole house... I almost thought we made it through the winter without catching any bugs. It's been so mild this year and in VA where I live, it already feels like spring! Even my flowers think so- they've been up for a couple weeks now. With that springtime feeling in mind, I thought I'd share this card today:

Goodies:

cardstock- Stampin' Up!
patterned paper- October Afternoon Sidewalks Collection
sticker- October Afternoon Sidewalks Collection
stamp- Hooray Clear set by Studio Calico/Hero Arts

I love the look of the crazy patterned background. I've been gravitating towards patterns lately- lots of them! This line from October Afternoon is one of my favorites. I can't wait to see thier new lines in person! I have a feeling lots of my money will be going to them this spring! :)

Well, thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope your day goes well!
