National Scrapbooking Month

We are celebrating National Scrapbooking Month over at Gecko Galz. 

LeeAnne is showcasing pieces done by all of the DT.

I hope you've had a chance to look over there at all the amazing pieces the girls have put together so far.

Today is my day to share.

Here is my layout.....

Please hop on over to Gecko Galz for details on how I put this together!

Happy Mother's Day!

Hope all you wonderful mother's, mom's, nanny's and granny's are having a wonderful day!!!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Sunday Everyone!

This card I'm showing you today was inspired by Sugar Creek Hollow's challenge this week.

The challenge is titled #60 Spring Flowers

and 

it is sponsored by my BOLB 

(Best Online Buddy)

Heather Hudson.

Here is my card.....

I started with a card blank and added a piece of  paper from the Vanity Fair paper collection over at Gecko Galz.

I added vintage photo distress ink to all my pieces.

Then I topped it with a tag that Heather designed.

The distress ink made the tag and the background blend a little too much so I added a little bit of pearl acrylic paint dabber to the edges of the card, tag and heart to make them pop a little more.

I did  a bit of fussy cutting...the heart, rose, butterfly and the floral bouquet on the bottom.

The butterfly (Butterfly Wings) and floral bouquet (Wild about Flowers) are also from Gecko Galz.

I used pop dots (my favorite addiction) under the heart and flowers.

Tucked a little pearl trim underneath and added a Wild Orchid Crafts rose to the lower bouquet as well as a bow I made with a little bit of Really Reasonable Ribbon, Dot's Organza in bright pink.

I added the butterfly to the top to finish it off.

Father's Day card...

Good morning!

I have another Father's Day card to show you today!

I started this one with some more paper from the Dapper Dan collection from Gecko Galz.....

I added a couple of the clock faces from Gecko Galz Time Flies collage collection.

The clock face on the bottom left side is a wooden piece from my stash.

Also from Gecko Galz... 

the butterfly piece is from the Butterfly Jewels collection 

and the Happy Father's Day sentiment is from the Man O Man collage collection.

The seam binding and lace trim are from my stash.

In the lower image you can see that I used pop dots on the front of my card and I added a couple more clock faces to the inside of the card.

Happy Father's Day

Good morning!

Today I have a Father's Day card to show you.

This one is for a wonderful father who loves racing.....

How cool are these images from Gecko Galz?

They are from this months Start Your Engines collage collection!

I had a hard time deciding which ones to chose to add to my card!

I love the checkered strip too, it's from the same collection!

The striped background paper is from the Dapper Dan paper pkg also from Gecko Galz!

A bunch of great papers in this collection!!!

I tell you what, with all these great digi paper collections that LeeAnne keeps putting out every month, I find myself wondering if I ever need to buy another paper pack at Michaels again! 

Think of all the space I would have in my scrappy place!

LOL

The black pearl drops were done with puff paint.

I also added a bit of black soot distress ink on all the edges.
