SPCC Color Combo #3

I recently found this cool color combination challenge site. SPCC. If you are in the mood for a good color challenge head on over and give it a try. Each Monday a new combo is posted and you have til Sunday to link your project up to the site. Winners are posted each Monday. This weeks colors are lovely lilac, chocolate chip, and garden green.



Here's what I made for this challenge.



I just had to use this cute little owl stamp from the Unity Stamp Co.'s June Kit of the Month. I also used a sketch design I found on Jen Buck's blog. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you all have a great weekend!

Time Flies with E.A.D.!!!

Wow here we are with only a week left of June. I'm super excited for June to be done with. Don't get me wrong I LOVE SUMMER, but the end of June means my husband will be home very soon! I have so much packing to do this week, and a long drive ahead of me. It's all worth it though, and my brother has decided to make the trip with me. Here's a little project I created to help count down the days.

I used (2) 4 inch chipboard coasters for each of these calendars. For both of these calendars I used Fancy Pants Paper.

For my first calendar I used a cute tree from the Funky Trees vinyl rub-on set and the little bird came from the Owl and Birdies vinyl run-on set. I outlined each leaf with my sakura glitter pen.

Materials Used:
Vinyl- E.A.D. Designs Funky Trees and Owl and Birdies vinyl rub-on sets
Paper- Fancy Pants
Ribbon- American Crafts
Eyelets- We R Memory Keepers

For the second chipboard callendar I made a cloud with white cardstock and then used my Dew Drop Shimmer spray. After it dried I stitched around the could to help it stand out. I used the "hi" from the Sentiments rub-on set and the owl is from the Owl and Birdies rub-on set.

Materials Used:

Happy Father's Day!!!

I found this really cool site that does weekly color challenges, and I thought I would give it a try. The blogsite is Scrapmaster's Paradise Color Combos or SPCC for short. For this weeks color combo challenge you were to use Certainly Celery, Rose Red, and Close to Cocoa. I thought I would use this challenge to create one of the Father's Day cards I needed to make this year. I used Unity Stamp Co.'s super cute grill and lantern lights from the new set Retro BBQ...Sweet Summer Time and Alpha G Just My Type for the word DAD. Hope all the Dads out there have a great Father's Day!

Wedding Anniversary E.A.D. style!!!

Hello! Tomorrow is my third wedding anniversary. These past 3 years have went by fast, although we've only gotten to spend 2 and a half of them actually together. I thought I'd make a anniversary gift for my husband to give to him when he gets back from his deployment. I can't wait for him to get back home!!!

I started with a four opening frame. I took the matting out and covered them with 2 different papers. After that I took a glitter gel pen to add some detail to each of the mats. I added 2 photos to 2 of the openings and then printed the quote and our names and date on light blue cardstock. I then applied vinyl to the cardstock pieces. I used 2 cute little designs from the Caged scrapbooking set on both cardstock pieces in light blue and 2 hearts in brown from the Retro Spring scrapbooking set.

My quote says:

Today I
marry my friend
the one I
laugh with
live for
dream with
LOVE

Materials Used:
Vinyl- E.A.D. Designs Caged and Retro Spring scrapbooking sets
Paper- Fancy Pants, AC Cardstock
Sakura Glitter pen
