Hugs..I love you

Good afternoon everyone!

Yesterday I spent a lot of time cutting a bunch of  Heather's collage sets with my Cameo, 

then playing with glitter!

This is the card I created.....

The background is a scrap from Graphic 45's Once upon a Springtime collection.

I am working on getting rid of my scraps and what better way then to make a pretty card!

From MyArtisticAdventures....

 the tag is from the Romantic Roses Shabby White Music set,

the heart is part of the Romantic Focals Cupid Text Boxes set,

the scalloped round cherub is from the Vintage Shabby Chic Valentine Cherub Cupid Focal tags set.

the banner is from the Romantic Victorian Vintage Banner Bases set,

and 

the alphabet boxes is from the Tiny Vintage Shabby Natural Alphabet Text set.

The bow I made with my Bow-it-All using some seam binding from 

Really Reasonable Ribbon.

The little leaves are from RRR also.

The little pieces underneath the flower were in my stash.

I made the flower using a heart from the Romantic Focals Cupid Text boxes set...

I had a alignment goof (my fault..oops!) with my Cameo and ended up with an extra that couldn't be used as it was so I used a couple of flower punches to put that together, topping it with a pink I-rock gem.

The round cherub focal was added with pop dots.

The glitters I used are from Art Glitter.....

#337 Challis - dotted around the tag

&

 #142 Coral Reef - everywhere else including the dots on the banner.

I added vintage photo distress ink on all of the papers.

On top of the banner I added some Clear Rock Candy distress crackle.

I love that crackle look!

Masculine Perpetual Calendar

Hi everyone!

I have been doing a bit of rearranging here in my scrappy place.

A couple of days ago my husband came in and spotted my perpetual calendar that I made for myself a while back. 

Apparently he hadn't seen it where I had it before. 

He liked it so much he said he wanted one so I jumped right in and made him this one.....

I used several Graphic 45's A Proper Gentleman Collection papers.

I used vintage photo distress ink on the edges of all the papers and box.

The box is a dollar store Christmas box.

I painted it with gesso before adding the papers and ink.

The month and day ovals were printed on my computer and then punched, inked and pop dotted on to the cards.

The numbers are a dimensional sticker that were.....umm.....

borrowed.....

from my daughters stash.

On the front of the box I fussy cut a couple bits from the G45 papers.

Hubby loved it!

Sea Shells card...

Good morning everyone!

Today I have a quick card to show you.

The background papers are scraps I have from Graphic 45's La Cirque collection.

Love when I can get rid of some scraps!

I used one side for the background and the second side for the little ribbon strip.

I added a couple of Candi's brad-like pieces.

The white matt was made with plain cardstock (another scrap) 

and a Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page punch.

I added a little piece of mesh ribbon then topped it with a 

Vintage Card Topper from Gecko Galz

that I added to a teal cardstock matt (scrap).

This was added with pop dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you like my simple little card!
