Wow.   This is the new paper package from Close To My Heart and is absolutely awesome.  So bright and cheery.   And as you can see some of the two sided stock was used here and the shiny side is up.  There are 6 colours in it all with a different pattern on this side.   Have been waiting for stock like this for a long time.  The patterned paper is just one of the six also in the package.   2 of each sheet for a total of 24 pages.   This is available until the end of May for $10.00 with every $35.00 spent on product.   How cool is that.  
Again this one fit two challenges, so entering them as well.  


Here is the card recipe.

The challenges this one fits are
Love To Create #63, using punches or dies
613 Avenue Create =  Cinco de Mayo colours 

 

Wedding or shower card

This card is for a couple of challenges.  Was looking through things and decided to so the sketch, but it also contains favourite things such as die cuts, ribbon and bling, so fits for two. 
 

Stock:  CTMH white
             Stardream Metallic Rose Quartz
Stamp:  CTMH  “The Happy Couple”
Ink:       CTMH Baby Pink (old colour)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ribbon:  Elan
Bling:   David Tutera 
Die:  Spellbinders

The wee pearls on the shimmer backing:   love these, they were a gift and needed a certain card to use some on, but they are extremely difficult to get off the backing and if not in the exact place, forget it, they are not coming off the card.  So be careful. 

This card fits for the
QKR challenge  #36 - to use favourite things
Outlawz Sketch Challenge SC042413 .  this is their design
Love to Create Challenge #63, Punches and/or Dies

hope you like it.   Was fun to do, as generally don't do sketches.   

Remember.   to comment you just click on the post header and it comes up for you.  

Welcome to the new Lilybug Cards Look. !!!!!

Isn't this just the most awesome design for this page.  It absolutely is what was wanted to go with the name, because it came about because of boots with lady bugs on them.   
 
It is from Angela at Angela D Designs.  She has done some beautiful pages.  This one had to be whimsical and fun, and it is !!!!

Mentioned about the boots and a couple of colours to Angela and she came up with three different sets of boots and umbrellas and picked this one.  Angela added the rest, sent it back and it was exactly as I had been envisioning.   Had looked months and months on here for something that suited, but had found nothing.  A couple of suggestions and she twigged in on it exactly.   How cool is that.  

Hope you love it as much as I do.  Did not have a blogs following list added on again as it was getting far too long, and they come through the following thru carrier or are bookmarked.   

Thanks for checking out my new site.

If you check below, you will see the original of this one from the Chantilly Card Kit from Close To My Heart. 
This is an awesome kit as are all the ones from them.    
The kit will be posted separately for you to  see what is actually in one
Being a person who likes to try different things, made one of each of the original cards as per the instructions, then deviated either with the colours or design a bit. Added a bling or whatever.

Stamp:  from kit
Stock:  White card from kit, White and  Sunset
B & T – Chantilly

Hi all
Again with the outdoor denim, sunset for colours.  Just seemed to play into this card. 

It is all CTMH products except the ribbon. 

The wee strips on the sides are from the Claire paper package.  These are the wee extra strip that Close To My Heart puts on each sheet with the information on one side and usually a design on the other.   Great for scrappers, and even better for us card makers as we get more to use.  

Stamp is again the birthday one from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge package   Love this set.  

The sentiment is from the new set just purchased, but lovin it already called  Joyful Birthday 

The liquid glass is giving the sheen on the "icing" 

That's it for today.  Been working at a couple more, but mainly been busy re-arranging yet again trying to get the work space better for creating and taxes done, old files shredded and put away what has to be kept.   Don't know why waiting until a week before they are to be in is usual, especially when did the rough copies a week ago.   

Will have a super new suprise for all of you who visit here shortly, and hopefully you love it as much as I do. 

That's it for today.   

Have a good one and thanks for stopping by.
