I Love My Mom

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mother's out there! I had a great day with my Mom and I sure hope that you spent a great day with your Mom and/or children!

This card was made using this sketch on the Sketch Support blog.  I apologize that the I Love My Mom sticker did not show up well in the photo ... a translucent sticker does not photograph well.

Supplies: Patterned Paper: Close To My Heart - Sophia; Cardstock: Bazzilz; Embellishments: Relections Mother's Day Stickers, Felt, Embroidery Floss and Ribbon; Tools: Nestabilities Scalloped Circle; Sketch: Sketch Support - Card Sketch #4.

Parents of the Groom

This was a difficult layout for me as the colors in the photos were a little difficult to work with. I know, you don't have to match but I find the photos pop better if they do. Luckily, I had this line from Cosmo Cricket in my stash that worked great! Once I had that it came together quite easily! And yeah for me, another layout created from my stash!

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket - Earth Love; Cardstock: Bazzils, Alphabet Stickers: October Afternoon, American Crafts Thickers; Embellishments: Cosmo Cricket - Earth Love Elements Sheet, and Brads, Tools: Creative Memories Corner Rounder.

At the Salon

I love how this layout turned out!  I was planning on it being so fancy (with the swirls) but I found when I was done that the journaling block seemed like it was lonesome!  I think the chipboard swirls (thanks Kim ... they're from your stash I raided) tie it all together perfectly!  I love all the little phrases, which came from a sticker sheet from 7 Gypsies and the flower was just a paper flower I had in my stash that I pop dotted and then put the chipboard phrase in the center.  Once again I was able to do this entire layout from my stash ... yeah two layouts in row from the stash!  Does this mean I can go shopping now?!

Supplies: Basic Grey - Sultry, Dear Lizzy - Enchanted; Alphabet Stickers: American Crafts Thickers; Embellishments: American Crafts Thickers, My Mind's Eye Flower, Ribbon, and 7 Gypsies - 97% Complete Journal Stickers - Photography; Tools: EK Success Border Punch - Dotted Scallop.

Just Us Girls

I can proudly say that everything used on this layout was from my stash!  I am trying really hard to use up some up my stash I have been hoarding for years.  There's a lot ... honestly!  When I buy a new paper that I love I always keep it for the perfect project, but then that perfect project doesn't happen and my stash continues to grow.  Sure it's nice when you are working on a layout to have lots of choices but when it takes you more time to pick your supplies than it does to do the layout ... there is a problem!  So my mid New Years resolution is to try to use what I have.  We'll see how well I do!

Supplies: Basic Grey - Lemonade; Embellishments: Me & My Big Ideas - Just Us Girls Title, Ribbon, Embroidery Floss and Buttons.

The Best Thing in Life Is Love

This is another layout I did using a sketch from Page Maps.  I love how pretty this layout turned out!  The soft pinks and aquas worked perfectly with the photo.  And that rose ribbon is too cute for words!  I have used every inch of what I bought and this is the very last bit of it.  I might have to go and buy more!

Supplies: Basic Grey - Olivia, My Mind's Eye - Breaking Free; Embellishments: Dear Lizzy - Enchanted Exquisite Phrases Sticker Sheet, American Crafts Just Write, AmericanCrafts Rose Ribbon, Ribbon, Pebles and Button; Sketch: Page Maps.
