Some of my older cards that I love!

I haven't been in the crafty mood for awhile, and thought I would share some of my oldies to get me
inspired again.  All of the images are My-Besties create by Sherri Baldy.  They are my faves.  Love how
sweet each one is.
The first card is an easel card.  Very easy to make, if you haven't tried it, give it a try, they are addicting
you won't be able to make just one.

Scrapbook Blessings club Challenge #25 Diamond Fold Card (with tutorial)

First let me start by saying Hello friends  :)

The title of my post is a little misleading.  I don't have the tutorial here on my blog.  Sandy has posted one
to the Scrapbook Blessings Club Blog challenge.  Come watch, learn and play along with us.

My diamond fold card is below.  I apologize for not knowing the name of this image.  I had it in my files
from long ago.

Slider card

My sweet friend Bonnie sent me an amazing slider card for my birthday 
and I was so intrigued that I had to try to make one for myself.

I am using Sherri Baldy's My-Besties Ella Bella 3d deco sheet
found at her Etsy shop

She has this adorable image in clear stamps, digi stamps, 3d deco sheets and on cd.




I am sharing the slider template or svg file for this for anyone that would like it. Thanks
for taking a peak.

I am entering this in the  challenge at:

Bookmark card, challenge , plus tutorial

Welcome to my blog!

Today I am designing for the Scrapbook Blessings Club. http://scrapbookblessings.blogspot.com/
There is a brand new challenge up, hope you will come play along.  You have 13 days to make
your project.

Our assignment was to make a bookmark card.  There is a wonderful tutorial on the blog here: http://scrapbookblessings.blogspot.com/


My image is sponsored by the stamping chef. I printed out the image and
cut it into 2 parts, one part for my card and one part for my bookmark.  
Looking at my card now, I see that the receiver of my card could actually
use both sides as a bookmark if they wanted to.

Let's Capture our Memories Card Sketch #76

It's time for another fun card sketch at Let's Capture Our Memories. This month's theme is
birthdays.  We happen to have a couple birthday girls this month including myself.  Yay! Happy Birthday to us.  :)

This card I have made for my youngest son who happens to turn 21 on July 1st this year.  His favorite color is green, so I popped a little bit of color into it.

Now this was a fancy sketch with lots of details.  whew! I think I got them all, hope so, because I can't fit much more onto this card. :)

I've used Spellbinders dies, Sherri Baldy My-Bestie flower die, and brads to finish my card.

Would love to see what you can do this month with our sketch, hope you will come play along with us.  http://letscaptureourmemories.blogspot.com/

Scrapbook Blessings Club kit

Each month a new card kit is offered at Scrapbook Blessings Club.  You get a small variety of
cardstock, patterned papers, embellishments, and a few extra goodies.

For the month of June, the kit offers strawberry brads, fabric stickers, beautiful red ribbon,
a white pen that feels like it glides when using it, its awesome!!!  We also got a small chalk inker.

Be sure to come by Youtube and watch our video of all the projects the design team have made with this fun kit.  If you would like to join in on the fun come join Scrapbook Blessings Club on
Facebook, and ask about it.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheScrapBookblessingsClub/

Here are just a few of the projects I've made with the kit so far.

Card made using 3 of the strawberry brads.  I made inchies for them.  I used the ants stamp by Lawn Fawn.
Strawberry fabric sticker.  Watermelon sticker, and the red cardstock and yellow patterned paper.

Card made using the pink cardstock, patterned paper, You are my sunshine embellishment, and
the white pen to do all the wavy lines.

We got this awesome tag base, and I went to town loading it up with the
embellishments that were in the kit.  Cloud and sun, 2 stick pins, a round fan thing,
the stamp Happy Summer from Lawn Fawn.  The only thing I used from my
own stash was the yellow ribbon.

fancy fold card with link to tutorial

I found this fancy fold tutorial for a Stair Step card.  I just love how it turned out.

I am using a Sherri Baldy My-Bestie image that has been pre colored but I added
some colored pencil to it just for fun.  
My butterflies are suspended by pieces of clear acetate.  The dies are from Memory Box.
The fancy edges on my steps are from a punch by Martha Stewart.
