CTMH Button Party Hat Card

This little birthday party hat card was so fun to make, it's a bit different than I expected because I was just going to do punched paper polka dots.  I really love the look of the buttons instead though. The buttons are from the Close to My Heart collections: Blue, Green and Pink.  The little pom pom ball trim is CTMH also, you guessed it the Pink Ribbon Collection.  The stamp set is this month's Stamp of the Month.  

For the card shape I just angle cut a regular 5x7 card and rounded the bottom. 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day!

Heart 2 Heart Add a Photo Challenge

When I saw what the H2H Challenge was this week I just HAD to share about this card & photo.  The photo is my daughter with her baby doll, the card is one of the invitations to her baby shower, and yes she was having a girl!  Of course I wasn't thinking right when I took the photo that in 24  years I would be using it for this purpose.  I did think it later on, like when she was 10 and I started scrapbooking and making cards, that's when I knew that if she ever had a baby girl I would use this for her shower invitations.  Low & behold I was blessed to do just that!

                                 

Here's what I used:


CTMH White Daisy and Baby Pink Cardstock
Random ribbon & dotted paper from Hobby Lobby
Martha Stewart Edge Punch
Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss Embossing Folder

Color Throwdown Challenge 193

This is my first time playing along with this challenge it's  CTD193. The colors were more of a challenge than expected, I really had a problem with the magenta, thought it just wasn't going to happen.  But then I took a look at my enormous stash of stickers, embellishments and such and it all just started coming together.  The best part is I mixed some ribbon that I have had for years with newer supplies and it always feels oh so good to actually use things instead of just "collecting" that way I feel like I'm a crafter and not just a hoarder.  You know my fears of ending up on that hoarding show!!
