Wplus9 MMB #16, plus CFC #109

Oh...... those lovely Wplus9 Monday Mood Boards always get me goin', but then I come up with, um, nothing!  Some days it's so easy, and other days I could stay down in the craft cave all day (and I do mean ALL day!) pushing paper and ink around and still not have something that I am proud to share (like today!). But, I do so love those soft lilacs and yellows. And I will keep trying 'til I get one right! Oh, and think I'll jump on the CAS-ual Friday polka dot band wagon too (thanks Darnell!).
P.S. I used a My Favorite Things die on both cards ("Peek-a-Boo Dots")!

You Party Animal!

Isn't this just the cutest little stamp set? It was a freebie from Avery Elle Stamps- oh so generous! AND, love, love the AE sequins (great size and color assortment in each package)! I am now in girly/super sparkle-y/party mode!

Happy 13th Birthday!

Let the wild rumpus begin! Our goddaughter, Julia, will be turning 13 in just a few days and I wanted to make her card to commemorate this auspicious occasion! I used my new mini bow die from Clean and Simple Stamps and some older patterned paper from Making Memories. Oh, how I love periwinkle with the perfect green!
Happy Birthday Julia!

A Few Shades of Grey

I'm avoiding anything involving cleaning, sorting, packing, cooking, etc. (you get the idea!). AND....waiting so impatiently for my Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit to arrive. Kristina Werner made one amazing/colorful card here using some of the papers and other items from the kit and I wanted to duplicate the look. However, since I have only grey straws available, I thought I'd go with the grey/yellow combo.  This card doesn't look too girly, does it? I think that I might need that cute and swirly "Happy" die (love Kristina's handwriting!).

Sneakin' around with my Fresh Cut Florals!

OK, OK........ just one more and then I'll stop for today! I had to sneak down to the craft cave. This card is inspired by Cristina's first project. The Fresh Cut Florals have about a million beautiful combinations. So loverly!

Maybe just a bit Wplus9 obsessed?

Yup,  just a tad obsessed with my new Wplus9 florals (which arrived in two days)!!
Although I should be packing, sorting, and tossing in preparation for our upcoming move I just could not resist......
All Wplus9 Fresh Cut Florals, with a few PTI sentiments thrown in!

Muse Challenge #19

The Muse Challenge #19 inspiration is by the talented Michelle Williams! I love all of the clean, open white space and the dainty florals. AND..... an added bonus is the fact that it is a one layer  beauty! I so seldom make anything with just one layer........waaay too many opportunities to mess up! Anway, here is my attempt, minus the black sentiment and with a more obvious/literal border. Oh how I love playing with those Mini Blooms!
