You're Sweet Confetti Card

I found a card on Pinterest that had some confetti behind an image that I just loved. The problem with Pinterest is that sometimes there is no source for the photo. After a little searching and googling I discovered that the image came from a Stampin' Up catalog.  Of course that meant no directions and I would have to figure it out on my own. This is my version of that card. And here's how I did it.
I punched some circles and then I sewed them behind a piece of velum. The original card used transparency sheets I think, but I didn't have much luck when I tried that. The transparency was so "staticy" that the circle confetti didn't move at all.

to say hi

For this card I used the fun beach stamp set from CTMH called Bright Sunshinny Day. As I was coloring this great car image I was thinking to myself how fun it would be to have a car like that to pull my Lucy Trailer!!
A quick update on the Lucy Trailer- I have new floor installed and now she is ready to be painted!

Pool Kit

 A few years ago I found these 4 pack drink caddy and they have been in my stash for awhile. I decided to pull one out and make a  cute pool kit. I loaded the drink caddy down with sunscreen, snacks and goggles. I decorated the front using the stamp set from the Surf's Up Workshop on the Go! You can see a Christmas drink caddy here and a Fall drink caddy here!

How Lovely Mini Album using Dream Pop

 I made this mini album using the National Scrapbook Month Special from CTMH. The Dream Pop paper pack is so FUN!! The title page of this album was cut from one of the pages- The pattern paper already said, HOW LOVELY!
I used a chipboard album from Close to My Heart and the album went together in minutes because all the pages cut on the CTMH Artiste cartridge!! Next up was embellishing and decorating the pages-the fun part!
