Remembering These Special Moments

Happy Sunday!! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! It's in the 30's here right now but we are supposed to hit the 60's tomorrow!! Heat wave!! Plus, when Cedar Waxwings arrive, I feel like spring is almost here...and they appeared yesterday :)

I have a springy tag to share with you today. The base is a Prima Doll Tag. The edges were inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Distress Ink. The images along the right bottom were cut from Prima Lyric paper. The large black clock is a Tim Holtz Weathered Clock die. The pink swirly flowers are a Die-Versions Daisy Flair die.

The gorgeous crinkle ribbon is from my dear friend Karen of Little Scrap Pieces. The beautiful flowers are from CraftyCity.

The gem swirls are from my stash. Dream is a TH Remnant Rub.

Craft It Up & Link It Up - Birthday Party

Happy Monday!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! Mine might have been better if not for the snow. Ugh. I am so over winter. It's March...spring is supposed to be on the way :(

It's time for another fun Craft It Up & Link It Up Challenge at Craftin Desert Divas. The theme this week is Birthday Party. Our sponsors are: Unity Stamp Company, Miriam's Crafting Supplies and Little Scraps of Heaven Designs.

Our sponsor Unity Stamp Company provided stamps for us to use today from the Birthday Jubilee stamp set. The base of the card is heavyweight cream cardstock from Canvas Corp.

The papers are from Authentique's Seasons Essentials paper stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter Distress-It-All. Spellbinders Captivating Squares were used for the layers. The butterfly is a Spellbinders Fanciful Flight die. I added tape to the back of a piece of burlap to cut it so that the burlap would keep the shape and not fray.

This is my first attempt at the chalkboard technique. The Unity sentiment was stamped with Versamark and then heat embossed with white embossing powder. When the powder was almost dry, a piece of chalk was scribbled over the top.

The beautiful flowers were purchased from my friend Archana at CraftyCity. Spellbinders D-Lites Corner Sprigs were cut in vellum and tucked in behind.
