Scrap Treasures- CardMaker Magazine

Hi Everyone:

I am so excited to be sharing my first post for CardMaker Magazine.  This is a regular feature that they have called Scrap Treasures and the idea is that we create a card using the scraps from a previous project.

I recently made a card with this lovely Pink Paislee  collection called Bella Rouge and was excited to play with it again.  I decided to use the Winter Sketch from CardMaker and had a great time planning out my card.

Here is a photo of my scraps:

Here is a photo of the sketch that I used.  CardMaker has some fabulous sketches.  You should check them out when you have a minute.  They are a great jumping off point for your creativity.

I made this card for a sweet friend that I am spending the weekend with scrapping and crafting starting today.  I love this while embossed stack that I bought from Die Cuts with A View as it does the work of embossing for you and there are lovely designs to choose from.

Tip:   When I am working from a 6X6 pad for cards I tuck the extra pieces that go along with the collection, that I might want to use again, back into the pad

Supplies Used:  Pink Paislee Bella Rouge, 6X6 paper pad and Butterflies, Die Cuts with a View, White Embossed Stack, Shopevalicious.com, Flowers and Wings Badge Buttons, Studio Calico Gems

Sweet Lily

Feels so good to be scrapping again.  I played along with this sketch from Paper Secrets and had to use the letters from the word swim on my layout.
S- So Noted line by Carta Bella, Stickers by Heidi Swapp, SVG files
W - Wood Hearts by Studio Calico
I - ink from Tim Holtz Distressed Ink, Gathered Twigs
M - Metal Clips from my personal stash

This is Lily and she is the first dog that my son has ever had and it was love at first sight.  He is almost 23 years old and his fiance has had many dogs in her life so far.  Vanessa really wanted a dog and easy going Sean said okay.  This dog adores my son and follows him everywhere.  She is a cuddler which is exactly how I would describe Sean.  Sean loves the movie Up, having been an Eagle Scout and he gives life to Lily's thoughts by talking like the dog in Up.  The photo on the right is of her while he was waxing his car.  His words for Lily were, "Let's go for a ride, I will drive!!"
The SVG files that I used came from Juliana Michaels brand new Etsy store called 17 Turtles and it is amazing.  You just have to check it out.  She is fabulously talented and I am so excited to support her.
Hugs,

Cardabilities Sketch #79

I have been waiting for this paper line to be available, American Crafts Mayberry and broke into the paper pad as soon as I could.  I love Karan's sketches and this was a really fun one to do.  You can play along at Cardabilities and I hope that you will have the chance to do so.
Hugs,
