It's time for a new challenge at All That Scraps Challenge blog, and this time we want to see some SPRING FLING!

I have Sweet November Fairwee Josie this week, and she's in ATS April's new releases. I'm so glad spring weather is finally here, cause I really love the warm sunshine! I've created another birthday gift envelope, and  followed another awesome Deconstructed Sketch, no. 96!

Papers are from BG Hopscotch collection. Josie is framed with a Spellbinders diecut, the sentiment (think it's from Recollections) is cut with a Recollections tag punch, and butterfly is from CC Cutters Butterflies die set. Finished it with some rhinestone gems, flowers, ribbon, and lots of sparkles!

Sparkle Creations Ch#93

Hi all! Today is Sparkle Creations Challenge #93, and this time we have a sketch for you...

designed by the very talented, Kim Yu! For my card today, I used Cherry Blossom Rin...

Inspired by the artist Aki and her beautifully colored sketch of Rin. Used papers from BG Konnichiwa, gorgeous brown ribbon from May Arts, a resin cherry blossom from Recollections, and a flower tag from PTI Tiny Tags stamped with "joy" sentiment from TGF's It's a Girl clear stamps.

Here a few close-ups

This is my last guest designer post for Sparkles Creations. It went by so quickly! It's been amazing to be with an awesome group of ladies. The stamps are just so much fun to color and create with. Hope you all stop by the SCRS blog to see more inspiration from the team! I do have one more quick share with you all later this week, so be sure to come back then!

Dear Hubby...

Happy Monday! Today I'm celebrating a special day with my hubby... it's our anniversary! He surprised me with a dozen red roses this morning... that he put together after I went to sleep last night. But then he had to work today, so we will go out for a nice dinner another night! I baked him some yummy banana bread and made this card...

It was hard to find a image that would fit a guy and for an anniversay, but I came across this retired TGF stamp set and it came with a perfect sentiment, "hoo loves you"? and the inside says "me!" (sorry forgot to take a pic of it) Finally I was willing to use some of the SEI Moonrise paper that I've had for the lonnnngest time!

added alot of dimensions... can you tell?

Well, hope he likes it and the bread!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

my dear... I love you!
