Dynamic Duos Butterflies

Hello!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!  We still have one more day off in Canada!  Yeah!  I put my Holiday Pre-order in today!  I'm super excited!  I can't wait to get it!
We have two kids who are feeling good today so I'm happy! Monday morning we are heading to the flying field to watch my husband fly some of his planes!

So today's card is for the Dynamic Duos challenge.   This week's challenge was to use Crumb Cake and then a colour of our choice.  Naturally I started off picking pink!  I don't get a lot of pink at my house so it's usually my go-to colour!  I couldn't think of what I wanted to do with it.  I then tried some crumb cake with island indigo...that didn't work so well either.  I moved onto Daffodil Delight!  Sometimes cards don't come together easily!

I decided to emboss the butterflies (using Papillon Potpourri) in white on the crumb cake and then add Beautiful Wings butterflies in Daffodil delight!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Crumb Cake
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, A Fitting Occasion
Ink: Versamark, Daffodil Delight
Other: Daffodil Delight Ribbon, Modern Label Punch, Circle Punches, Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Elegant Butterfly Punch, Basic Pearls

I hope you liked today's card!  Thanks for stopping by!

Sunday Stamps Challenge

Hello!

We survived Thursday and we're onto Friday!  The soccer field was some HOT last night.  I actually didn't stay for Jacob's game and took Caleb home for a shower since I was afraid he was going to keel over on me!  Last day of school today!  I have a big boy heading into Grade 1!  I don't know how that's even possible!  It feels like it was just yesterday he was a tiny baby!  Speaking of babies...my dear friend Anne-Marie delivered a healthy, but tiny baby girl three weeks early today!  I am so sad that we don't live close anymore and it will be a while before I meet this new princess!  I know what I'll be doing tomorrow!!!

Okay, enough rambling!  Today's card is for the Sunday Stamps challenge.   Holly over at Hollybeary Creations has "started" this great weekly challenge...stop by their blog and check it out!  This week's challenge is super fun!  I saw the dots on her blog post and knew I wanted to incorporate them into my card this week!  

Supplies:
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive
Stamps: A Fitting Occasion
Ink: Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
Other: Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, Modern Label Punch, Circle Punches, Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder

Thanks for stopping by!  Hopefully I'll have a card for you tomorrow...we'll see how my afternoon goes with two kids at home!!!

Paper Players Pink!

Hello!

It's Thursday - well, Friday for most of you reading this!  We've almost survived the week!   I was very happy to sit for two hours on the sidelines of the soccer field tonight because it meant that I actually got to sit!  It was nice.  My feet quite enjoyed it!

Okay so I did a double challenge again today!  I really liked the Retro Sketches design this week so I combined it with the colours from the Paper Players challenge!  Love the colour choices this week!  Some of my favourites!  Who doesn't love Melon Mambo?  Especially for me who is in a house surrounded by boys and boy colours!

I really wanted to give the new "A Fitting Occasion" stamp set a try.   I have been eyeing it up since my box full of new catalogue goodies arrived last week!  This card seemed to work out perfectly!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade

DSP: Basic Gray

Stamps: A Fitting Occasion

Ink: Versamark, Basic Gray, Melon Mambo

Other: Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, Modern Label Punch, Curly Label Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Top Note Die, Square Lattice Textured Embossing Folder, White Embossing Powder, Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon, Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!
