Happy Mother's Day.....

This is for the challenge over at Vintage Cafe Card Challenge (a picture that inspires us-and I even used pic on card), and Deep Ocean Challenge (fav colors).. I was so inspired by the colors and softness of the background in this pic, and loved it so much, added it to card! ( I have several pics such as this, I usually get off The Graphic Fairy, or another site called Free graphics.) I really distressed everything for a very vintage feel, added gauze and netting, pearls, rolled roses, die cut leaves, and the picture that inspired this card! If you click on pics they will enlarge, you can see the gauze and tool better! Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin' a peek! Teresa*

Friends....

This is for several challenges...Magnolia Down Under (recycle-used cardboard, and some of the pearls were taken off an old card and reused), Tilda's town (I don't have stamps from once upon a time-so used this cutie), Magnolia Mania (pennant-banners), Creative Card Crew (handmade flowers, rolled roses are handmade), Tip Top Tuesday (say it isn't sew- my tip is using a good white gel pen for stitches-also white dots for Fairy, makes her come to life- and I also like to white wash the card to blend everything together), Stampin' For the Weekend (friends), and The Sketchy Challenge (using sketch). I layered and distressed everything, added fake stitches with gel pen, added some recycled cardboard painted white, made the pennant banner, made the rolled roses then white washed everything1 Thanks so much for stoppin' by to take a peek!

This is for the challenge over at Vintage Udfordring (the pic of vintage girl supplied). I LOVE that picture, so vintage and so much fun to work with!

The Journey Awakens the Soul.....

This is for the challenge over at Kraft It Up! The challenge is to use Kraft paper, and to use packaging of some sort! I used two of the package backings from Prima flowers (under pic), and if you look close at the banners, a few of them are also Prima packaging, in fact, right above picture, one of the flags on banner has the Prima emblem on it! I layered and distressed everything, splashed with white paint, made the stars from the "cardboard" in packaging, added some decorative tape, and a couple buttons! Also, on the left side of lo, those little rolled up pieces of paper are inspired by Heather! Click on pics they will enlarge for better view! Thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin' a peek!

Laugh Out Loud.....

This is for a couple challenges! Paper Stories (using sketch-which I loved) and ScrapMemory (spot the difference - I added a "strip" of chickens and a cut out of a chicken to compare to the picture of my chickens!) I used my chickens as the subject! They are on the back deck looking in the French doors, hoping I'll bring them a treat, and wanting in! They are not your average chickens, they are really spoiled! I layered and distressed everything! Made the banners, added a couple rub on's, splattered some black paint, added chipboard stars, and added a couple little clothes pins! Fun lo to do, hope you like it, and thanks so much for stoppin' by and takin' a peek! Click on pics get closer view of lo! Teresa*
