Keeping the Streak Alive!

Ok, I have a bit of a streak going here. Four days straight of posting cards. I had a card planned for today. The problem is, I left my camera at my grandmother's birthday party. So, I'm going to show a card I did a couple weeks ago and had not posted. No challenge involved! Just me making a card to go with a baby gift.Isn't it just the cutest idea ever? I never get tired of making this card. The original came from Lauren Meader. She has a great tutorial over at her blog and this link will take you right to it, so check it out.

The lone stamp on this card is from Tart & Tangy. I inked the stamp in Rose Red, then removed the ink from the stem and leaf with a Q-tip. I used my markers to fill those in and stamped. All easy enough!

So, I am hoping to make a new card tomorrow. I have another birthday coming up, a little niece celebrating her second birthday. I want to keep my streak in tact!

Giving Thanks to Teachers

My friend Deb asked me to create a card she could make in mass and give a set to the teachers at the end of the school year. I've seen many examples of this card and truthfully, there are a lot of similarities. One blog that inspired me was Melissa's over at Creative Treasure's. It's cute, fun and easy, so how can you go wrong? I've used the very popular Summer Picnic designer paper (DP) and the apple from Tart and Tangy. Both are only available in the Occasions mini through the end of May. The sentiment is from the retired hostess set So Many Sayings.
