Thank You Cards

 My mom asked me to make a couple thank you cards. She asked if she could get one with a sheep and one with a pig. Elizabeth Craft Designs to the rescue. 

All of the details are posted on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog today! Stop on over there...and thanks for stopping by here!

Stitching Challenge

Today's post is all about sewing over at Crazy4Challenges. I didn't hit the challenge directly on. Rather, I used both stitched dies and stitched ribbons for my sewing.  Here's what I created:

The paper is some that I recently purchased at a craft class. I love the inky-looking background. The flowers were colored with Distress Oxides in Scattered Straw with a smidge of Wild Honey. The leaves are Distress Oxide in Mowed Lawn and then I dabbed them onto a Versamark pad and use some Peeled Paint Embossing Glaze to add some texture.

The dies are from Elizabeth Craft Designs and are linked up below. Thank you for stopping by today!

Cabo!

 For my post today at Elizabeth Craft Designs, I created some planner pages from a recent trip to Cabo in Mexico. I wanted to put some memories of this amazing trip both into my "Mike 'n' Me" journal and in my "Places I've Been" journal.  The first is Sidekick sized:

The right (or back-side) of the page is inspired by a Crazy4Challenges sketch this week. This is the "regular" sized page for my "Places I've Been" Journal:

Bee

 Today, over at Crazy4Challenges, we were challenged to create a card with a bee on it. I used some Dare 2B Artzy Paper that has a cute little bee on it. I also used some pretty Floral dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Fun with Farm Dies

 I'm still having so much fun with the Life is Better on the Farm Collection from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I made these cards using some old inky backgrounds I found:

I used the Farmer one for this last week's challenge on Crazy4Challenges to do something with a picnic or BBQ. 

Thanks for stopping by today. My supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs are linked up below, and full details on these cards are on their blog today!
