{ Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge and CPS sketch #157 }

I just love the colors in this Tuesday Trigger photo. I have been using these colors all last week. I love my new butterfly die from QuicKutz. It cuts two butterflies and I love the one with holes. Here is my crepe paper again...I love this stuff. I was playing around trying to make this rose. I like the way mine turned out. I cut some felt for the flower base. The paper is BoBunny Press and My Mind's Eye. I used CPS #47 for the card. The sentiment is from the new Life & Flowers (CL250) stamp set by Impression Obsession. I made this card for Elle's Studio blog. We are celebrating our 3rd birthday!!! I used Birthday Cut Outs and Lollipop tags. ***Look for tons of birthday card inspiration from the design team at our blog! Plus, every order will ship with a FREE Birthday Cut Out and a raffle ticket for every item purchased! Raffles will take place every Sunday at our blog - we can't wait! Read more about it here.

{ Elle's Studio March Blog challenge }

Here is my layout with 9 photos. We had 530 photos from this visit to Ennis Bluebonnets. The first year Alex was only three months old so he doesn't remember. Last year he was unsure about the flowers and was holding on to me. After some time he let go and was roaming free. He loved it. The photos are taken of us walking in that order and you can see Alex in the last one turning around, getting ready to get away! I layered the butterflies and secured them with a pin. I glued a felt heart over the top with Helmar adhesive.

{ Impression Obsession DT challenge - Easter }

I am loving this color combination lately...totally different paper company, but similar to my other card. How about that crepe paper ruffle? I couldn't put it down. The papers are BoBunny Press and My Mind's Eye. I used CPS#156.
For this card I used Easter Seals (CL164). Only one set this time, I can't believe it. The bunny I stamped and cut out. I curved the sentiment once it was on my acrylic block, so easy since they cling to the block.
For the crepe paper ruffle: I put a strip of adhesive on the back and made pleats, nothing too perfect.
I hope you'll take the time to visit the other designers' blogs for inspiration! Dina, Jeanne, Jenny, Rosemary, Kathy, Kelli, Julie, Tina and Laura.

{ 2 Sketches 4 You #47 }

I LOVE this bike stamp!!! It is my NEW favorite stamp set by Impression Obsession, Riding Pretty (CL255). You can add whatever you want in the basket and it's perfect for any occasion. How fun is that!!!!! After I stamped the bike I colored it with SU markers, not too perfect. I cut the bike out and the flowers that I added to the basket. This card is for 2S4Y #47. I used My Mind's Eye patterned paper and pink crepe paper streamer roll that I bought at a dollar store (party section). Don't be surprised if you see pink crepe paper in several upcoming projects! The ribbon came from my stash.

Riding Pretty clear stamp set. If you want just the bike, it is available...Riding Pretty (F8428).
