Great Impressions–Missing U

Hello!  Happy Monday!   This was a big weekend for our family.  My daughter left for a week at sleep-away camp for the first time.  In my head, I know she will have fun and make new friends, in my heart, I’m nervous for her.    I can’t wait until she comes home on Saturday and I get to hear all about her adventures.

I made this card to put in the care package that I am sending her.   I know she liked the bunnies from this stamp.  I thought I would try to use the stamp in a different way.  Does this bunny look lonely when he is sitting all alone? 

 

 

I hope you have a wonderful week!  Thank you for stopping by!

Catered Crop–The Call It Mellow Yellow

For the current challenge at the Catered Crop, we are just mad about yellow!  That’s the current challenge, use the color yellow somewhere on your paper craft project.  

For my project, I mixed yellow with blue and kraft to make a sunshiny card for a friend.

 

 

I wasn’t feeling really well this weekend when I had a bit of crafty time so I took a look at Pinterest for some inspiration.   I was inspired by this card by Jen.

As always, Linda has curated a fabulous inspiration board for our challenge.  You can see her Mellow Yellow board on Pinterest by clicking on the photo below

 

 

I hope you will come join us for our Mellow Yellow challenge.  Stop by the Catered Crop to link up your paper crafting project and see the recipe rules.

Pumpkin Spice–For the Bride-to-be

Hello!  Today it’s my turn to post on the Pumpkin Spice blog.    Our challenge this week is FLOWERS!  We want to see what you make with flowers.  This should be an easy one!  

For my project, I decided to make a card for a bridal shower using papers and twine from Shop Pumpkin Spice. 

 

 

Sadly, I wasn’t able to give my card to the bride.  After I finished taking my photos, I spilled my huge cup of water on my desk and the card was wrecked.   I hate when that happens! 

 

Don’t forget to link up your project at the Pumpkin Spice blog.

 

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a great day!
