dots and stars v2

using up those scraps I decided it looked better with a bit of string tied around the panel...

stars and dots

using up scraps, I quite like the result...

stampin' up showers

Using up those Stampin' Up papers with the spellbinders umbrella die again, this card is a miss, the arrangement of the sentiment just doesn't work.

boats, boats, boats!

I love the background to this card, but not the card, so much good but overall pfffft... I will work on the idea though...

sunshine and skippy

I got this cool sunburst die from Paper Smooches and was just messing around when this card appeared, #win!

the red white and the blue (and some green)

Using up old stash again, I don't think I ever have to buy anything new ever again (but I will)... American Crafts paper and card (tea party) and Lawn Fawn puffy stars dies.

everyday birthday

Using up my stash, (when am I not using up my stash), I'm finding these printed sentiments really useful.

take 3 eggs and...

Well I continue to chip away at these old papers using my Lawn Fawn stamps to help me along the way...

under the weather

I love the sentiment 'under the weather' to send to people who are unwell, and I'm always on the search for a great umbrella die, this one is from Spellbinders, and it is not a great die, I was in fact really disappointed with it, and so the search continues... the patterned papers are from a stack of Stampin' Up papers I got years ago.

stars and stripes

I've got so much random stuff it is untrue, this patterned paper came from a doodlebug 6x12 pad that was originally intended for use on a cuttlebug (when cuttlebugs were new) I've never owned a cuttlebug... anyway now it is used to make another card

eggcellent news

Lawn Fawn Home Sweet Home and A Birdie Told Me just make a sweet pair on this baby card.

rain rain go away

I love the sentiment idea of 'under the weather' it covers so many bases, especially when 'get well' don't cut it and this card just ended up being so cheery not schmaltzy or dour. 

The die cuts are all lawn fawn scattered showers. I lovingly spray glued every cloud and covered each of those clouds with doodlebug glitter, and to match that I even had the patience to cover each rain drop with glossy accents.

I think this looks great considering its mostly made with scraps of my american crafts simply chic papers.
