Happy Mama's Day

Love you mama!

Here's the card I made for my mother this year using MME's Lost n Found Madison Avenue 6x6 pad, vintage buttons, walnut stain distress ink sizzix labels die, snug hug, studio G stamps and baker's twine.

A Dated Journey sneak #1

Here is my first sneak peek for A Dated Journey :)

With this Ring - CC Challenge

CropChocolate is having a huge online crop to celebrate both their Merger with OhMyCrafts and National Scrapbook day!! 

Here is my entry for the "With this ring" challenge in which we were required to make a project with an embellishment that makes a shape. 

IE I chose buttons to make a heart.

CC Product used : 6x6 Madison Avenue, walnut stain distress ink, EP brown cardstock base. Non CC : vintage buttons, snug hug (dyed with the distress ink), baker's twine, a spellbinders die, studio G stamps.

A Vday tag

a bit late??? I think not! I love love -- and it should be celebrated on more than one day a year :D

Here is the tag I made for.. (get this...) THREE different requirements! (and a 4th random linkup)

• Tim Holtz's new 12 tags of 2012 link up!
• CropChocolate.com's weekly challenge (Make an elaborate shape out of simple shapes)
• and I'll be posting this on the Viva Las Vegastamps! Blog tomorrow as my biweekly DT piece :)
• and my 4th linkup will be @ The Graphics Fairy.. I don't have TH's cupid die, so I got the silhouette from her! 

products used: Manila folder, old book words, graphic's fairy cupid, heart punch, snug hug, vintage lace, acrylic paint, spun sugar distress stain, brushed corduroy distress ink, festive berries distress ink, silver liquid pearls, old sewing pattern, hot glue, zig glue, ranger crackle paint in rock candy VLVS! stamps

Here is a close up of the background where you can see the VLVS! stamps
