Dreams

I was starting to get uncomfortable with the long break I took from craft adventures. Life happens and sometimes you just wait forever for the right time and motivation to get back to doing what you are passionate about.. Last week the right time came for me ...

My uncle, aunt and their kids visited us over the weekend and I was excited to see them after 4 long years!!! I started thinking of ideas to make a motivational card for my cousin who will graduate from high school in next couple of years and go to college... and I took this opportunity to use my Silhouette Cameo to show off its beauty and here is what I came up with -

Materials:
Far East Background CardStock
Parachute silhouette cut on Silhouette Cameo
"Let your dreams take flight" PTI stamp and black ink
Black and white twine
Black square stickers

Thanks to my hubby for the amazing gift (Silhouette Cameo) and to Chaitali for letting me use her PTI Happy Trails stamp set.

I declare myself to be officially back to my craft adventures :) and will keep posting here to share my creations with you! Thanks for stopping by!

You are fabulous!

This is the second card that uses most ingredients from my TE April KI kit! :) Here is the first one :)

Materials:
TE April Kit card stock
TE April Kit patterned paper
TE April Kit ribbon
Butterfly dimensional sticker
Pink twine
"You are fabulous" stamp and pink dye

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!! In my northwest corner the sun is shining bright and the sky is clear.. hope you enjoy some great weather in your part of the world too :)

Butterfly

I went to a stamp festival in Portland in April and bought a whole variety of stamps. This butterfly stamp is one my favorite picks from that trip! I made 3 such butterflies on different colored backgrounds and then experimented with several patterned papers to see which combo appealed to me the most! Do you like this combo as well?

Materials:
