Happy Sunday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!! I have a card to enter into a few challenges today. I'm so behind on entering challenges, especially ones my friends host, and I apologize. I'm having trouble finding time to get to my craft room this summer :(

The paper is from My Mind's Eye The Blink of an Eye stack, and all of the edges are inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used a corner round punch to shape the orange background paper.

I love these Spellbinder Banner Basics 3 dies...so many possibilities!! I popped the top layer up with foam tape for dimension. I used a circle punch to punch out the flowers and added gems to the centers and along the top of the banner.

The bigger label is a Spellbinders Labels Twenty One. The smaller label is a Spellbinders Labels 20, stamped with a JustRite Fleur De Lis stamp in Tangerine Memento Ink. "Thanks My Friend" is from K Andrew Designs Sew Fun stamp set:

Live The Life You Want!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday, everyone!! I hope you are having a great day!! Are you getting ready to watch the big game?? It is being played about an hour away from me, so it has pretty much been Super Bowl hype around here for two weeks :) I don't really care who wins...though I would like Eli Manning to win since his brother Peyton is my all-time favorite player :)

Before the game starts, I spent a little time in my craft room today and I have a card to enter into a few challenges.

For this card I used my current favorite paper, My Mind's Eye from the Lost and Found stack. I inked all of the edges with Tim Holtz Worn Lipstick Distress Ink. I used an EK Success punch for the pink background paper and the edge of the music paper. The music paper was white, and I inked it with Worn Lipstick and Tattered Rose Distress Ink. "Live the Life You Want" is from K Andrew Designs Positive Thoughts stamp set. Click HERE to purchase this set!!

For the tag with the Eiffel Tower, I stitched the edges with my Sew Crafty machine. I just ordered a new mini-sewing machine and I can't wait to use it and get rid of the little cheap thing. It is barely a step up from stitching by hand! I cut the scalloped rectangles from Designer's Calendar. The postage stamp and post card stamps are from TPC Studio. "Je t'aime" is a K Andrew Designs stamp from the I Heart You stamp set. Click HERE to purchase your own set!!

On the pullout, I used a Tim Holtz clock stamp, and "XOXO" from K Andrew Designs It's Valentines stamp set. Click HERE to order this set or to see her entire line of fabulous stamps!

The inspiration for this card is from the Crop Stop Challenge, to use numbers and this sketch:

1. Crop Stop Challenge #56 - Numbers + Becky Fleck Sketch
