A Few Cards

Just a quick post with a few cards I have made recently. It feels great to be creative recently! It is most definately my "release" from work, as it has been pretty darn stressful lately!

Enjoy!

This one is my favorite! I made it using some Practicing Creativity stamp sets - Look Up and Key to My Heart!

This one is also made using only PCD stamps!

I made this one tonight (sorry for the bad lighting). I made it using some Basic Grey paper from the Max and Whiskers 6x6 pad and some Jovial brads! The samp is also from BG and it is from their Basics collection.

Have a great night!

PCD Challenge

Wow! It has been a REALLY long time since I participated in a challenge of any kind! Between all the excitement of moving (insert sarcasm) and getting settled in our new lives in PA, there hasn't been much time for anything! So I made some time and made myself sit down and be creative! I figured that Courtney's challenge was the perfect opportunity! She challenged us to make something using any of the Practicing Creativity Designs stamp sets.

I got my inspiration from this picture I took with my cell phone driving back from Hershey one day (well, my husband was driving and I was in the passenger seat):
So here's my card made with two sets from Practicing Creativity, Look Up and Barefoot Summer

I LOVE this hot air balloon stamp! So fun to paper piece and make it any design you want! I stamped it on some fabric paper from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Collection - Firefly Festival, using StazOn ink in Jet Black...

Happy Birthday!

I made this card for one of the pharmacy tech's at my store for her birthday (which is today). I love the colors (they were actually my wedding colors)!

In other birthday news, tonight I am taking my mom to a concert in Nashville that is going to benefit flood relief (from the flood that we had back in May) for her birthday and a late Mother's Day gift. We are both super pumped and really looking forward to it!

Supplies for card:
Whte cardstock
Patterened paper: both paterns were from the DeLovely 6x6 pad - Cosmo Cricket
Ribbon: random roll from craft/fabric store
Button: Obscure collection - Basic Grey
Stamp: "Happy Birthday" portion of the "Happy Birthday Friend" stamp from You're Dandy - Practicing Creativity

Happy Father's Day!

I have a few cards to share with you that I have made recently! I have been in the crafting mood so I took full advantage of it. This first card is the card I gave my dad for Father's day. Pretty simple and I hope it was masculine enough for him! I LOVE this tree from Practicing Creativity (well, really this whole stamp set). One of my pharmacy techs at work got married over the weekend and I had been meaning to make a card for his wedding but did not get a chance to do it until right before the wedding. Even though it was rushed, I love the way it turned out! It is VERY simple, but I loved it!

This week is my mom's birthday and another one of my teche's at work's birthday so I hope to have a few more cards to share soon too if I get a chance to make some. For my mom's birthday the two of us are going to a concert here in Nashville on Tuesday night to benefit the flood relief. I am super excited about it!

That's it for tonight. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great night!
