Birthday Boy

Hey there.  Hope you're having a wonderful week so far! Today I am playing along with two challenges. One is the JUGS Color Challenge again. I played on Monday, but I couldn't put those colors away!

 and the other is the Friday Mashup whose challange was to do a birthday card AND use brads. 

Here is my card:

Mashup!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. I managed to wake up with the cold/flu that my family has had all week...yay. :(  At least it's the weekend, so I don't have to miss work, right? :)

So, on this rainy Saturday I wanted to play along with Friday Mashup. I hadn't played along with them in months and months. Today's colors/mashup are soo beautiful. Here is the challenge:

I decided to use three of the colors and do a pattern. Here ya go:

I absolutely love the bold colors. This is a combination I will definitely use again! Thanks for stopping by...play along if you can! 

u rock..

Hi there! Hope you're having a good week. Mine is so far, so good. I have a card today for this week's Friday Mashup.  I haven't had a chance to play the last couple of weeks, so I wanted to make sure to play along this week. Here is the challenge:

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge : 

1. Make a project using the "Square Sketch above ".
2. Or Make a Project that has a "Masculine" theme.
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Square Project using the Sketch, with a Masculine theme".

I decided to stay true to the sketch and the theme and create an all purpose guy card. Here ya go:

I pulled out my Papertrey and Verve die and had a blast creating this card. I love the little "splatters" on there. Fun!


Thanks for stopping by.  If you get a chance, play along with the Friday Mashup! 

thanks so much..

Happy Saturday, everyone! Hope that your weekend is going well so far.  Have you guys discovered the Friday Mashup challenge blog? I did last week and it's a really fun challenge. You have choices each week on what you do. One or both of the challenges they put forth can be on your card. This week, the challenge is to use their sketch, seen here:

and/or to use dry embossing on your card! I decided to do both and came up with this little number:

I used the PapertreyInk Woodgrain embossing plate on the scallops and the flowers (from Verve's Great Friend set) and I really like the way it turned out. The colors in the paper are really pretty together and I added a little Crystal Effects and a pearl to the flowers for a little more eye candy...just a little. :)


Well, that's it for me today. One week and 3 days until hubby comes home from his current deployment, so we're running around preparing for that! Yay! Thanks for stopping by!





 

U are sweet

Is it really Monday already? Ugh...this weekend went by way too fast! 


On Saturday, I was perusing blogs and came across a post on Teresa Kline's blog for a challenge called Friday Mashup. Wow..they have some really cute challenges, and this week's was to "mash up" cupcakes and buttons (or use one of them) in your project! 

I decided to play along and make a card full of sugary sweetness! :)

I found some great MME paper in my stash and it was the basis for the rest of my card. Here you go:

Isn't that paper adorable? I also pulled out my new Verve "U" die and mixed it with a little Papertrey "Wonderful Words". The cupcake and cherries are from a set I bought eons ago from Lawn Fawn called "Bake Me a Cake". 


This was such a fun challenge. I can't wait to play again. Check it out of you haven't seen it yet!
