So Late Mother's Day Card

Happy 4th of July Everyone!

I would normally post something patriotic today, but I haven't made anything recently. Guess that means tonight I must take lots of pictures to scrapbook later and be able to show you next holiday!

Don't forget to enter the WEDDING challenge over at Just A Scrappin by the end of the night tonight! 

On to the card for today!

Well the good news is that I did give this card to my mom on Mother's Day. I was just going through my camera and realized I never shared!

My boyfriend didn't think I could make a nice card in under 10 minutes. Challenge accepted!

I needed two, one for my mom and one for his. I handed him a magazine and told him to pick one he liked and I would work from that.

I used Echo Park's Victoria Gardens 6x6 paper, buttons, ribbon, and flowers from my stash, twine in stone, want2scrap swirl pearls and quick quotes lemonade ink.

 

I think it turned out great. And since I was hand delivering and not mailing, I could use those big flowers and not worry about it getting torn up while going through the mail sorter :)

Challenge won!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday! I'll be back tomorrow with a manly card!

Quick Quotes Design Team Call

For any of you guys who want to apply to be part of the first Quick Quotes Design Team (I know I do!), here is the link:
http://flairandfrillscreativity.blogspot.com/2011/04/quick-quotes-design-team-call.html

So here is what I am submitting *crosses fingers*


This first project is an ongoing project for me. This is a wall in my living room that I found some great frames super cheap since the glass was broken out of them. I am working on creating a frame collage in red/black/white to match my living room decor. When I move, I hope that this makes it way into my dinette area. The first picture is the whole wall area. Then a close up of each of the 3 frames. This is done with QQ paper (Joker's Wild line) some of their velum, along with other embellishments I had in my stash

This is a project you have seen before. These are the Quinceanera Centerpieces I am doing for a friend's family. They are 4 CD cases connected to form a box. I am partnering with another crafty friend who does silk flower arrangements so there will be while lilies in these for the Quinceanera. After the party, they are going to use these as gifts to friends and family. You can use them to hold anything. Pens, hair bows, your ribbon stash, candy, anything! I used Canvas Corp's new paper line and lots of stuff from my stash. Here are 2 sides, then close ups of the other sides.

Here is another project you have seen. This is the page I did for my January club, but I have added some extra embellishments to really take it up to the next level. This is using Bo Bunny paper and some Martha Stewart embellishments. 

This last project I made for my mom for Mother's Day. I used QQ paper and chipboard from the Mary's Garden line and I inked everything in Pink Cheeks.  I used my cricut to cut out the heart (Accent Essentials) and "MOM" (Mother's Day).

Well that's it! Cross your fingers for me :)

Still come back tomorrow for my promised baby shower cupcake toppers and my SAS card.
