Our Creative Corner - Hip to be Square

I wasn't going to craft today....honestly I wasn't...

But then my sister-in-law asked me for a baby card

 and I found this fabulous sketch 

over at Our Creative Corner...so cleaning is on hold. (grin!)

Here is a look at the sketch:

This really got my Mojo going I have to say!

I used a scissors on the edges of my polka dot panel.  Then popped 

that up on dimensionals.  Each of my four circles are punched on the edge with a smaller punch to "frame" my sentiment.  A scalloped flower I created with a die and petal roller is the letter "O".  Then I colored a white pearl with a pink Copic for the center of my flower.  

Two tiny pink gems also highlight my sentiment. All four circles are zipped around with a zig-zag stitch for even more texture.

Have a wonderful weekend!

CAS-ual Fridays 37

It's Friday!

Time for the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays.  I loved last weeks challenge of black and white.  Oh my, the beautiful cards I saw!

It's a sketch this week and here it is:

I used an embossing folder and a die-cut
 for my heart and musical note.
Super easy to put together.
Tied it all up with a strand of twine.

This Ones For You Katie!

I saw this new stamp set from MFT and absolutely HAD to have it!

My beautiful young niece Katie plays the violin like an angel!

I could listen to her play all day.  Unbiased auntie that I am 

thinks she is a child prodigy (grin!)

Love you Katie girl!

Today's card is based on the My Favorite Things fab sketch this week.

Here it is if you would like to join in the fun!

Got a work-out in paper piecing with this one!

Both her violin and pretty dress are pieced and then she is 

fussy cut, popped up and all ready to make beautiful music.

I added a double trim of lace that I purchased

 awhile back from Frost it Pink.

The colors in real life really pop on this card.  

Too bad my camera didn't see it.  

Another dark and gloomy day here. (sigh)

Hope she likes!

Love Me Do

I was in the mood for a unique valentine today, but a bit short on time.  Came up with this quick card using the Love Me Do Crafting Kit 

by My Mind's Eye.  The sentiment is a dollar deal from Michael's.  

Thought it worked well with the love birds. (grin!)
