Cards for Shabby Tea Room

Okay so the Shabby Tea Room is a site I often go to for inspiration and they were having a designer contest that ended on Sept. 2nd.  And I really wanted to enter it.  So I made these two cards... and then got so busy getting ready to go camping for the long weekend I forgot to enter these into the Shabby Tea Room contest!  But I thought I'd show you what I came up with.  Maybe next time for the contest... :-)

Sing Sweet Beautiful Happy Girl

This is Trinitee's 9th Birthday layout!  I usually take a couple hundred pictures at my kids birthdays and this one was no exception!  I had a hard time picking pictures, but slimmed it down to 22!  When I have that many photos I like to make a mini book and attach it to the page.  This time I stitched the mini book on with my sewing machine.  It turned out great!

The frame around Trinitee on the right side was a wood cut out ornament I found in the Christmas isle at Michael's.  I sprayed it with turquoise glimmer mist and voila!  Beautiful!

Hiking Jasper

I love the photos in this layout!  You know the saying that a photo is worth a thousand words... well these photos certainly say a lot of words!  I love to be outside and in God's gorgeous creation and just loved being in Jasper.  These pictures really tell a story.

Hugs,
Kimi

Melanie's layout from "You're my Inspiration"

Hey so I'm posting a layout that Melanie did at one of my monthly clubs. 

Melanie belongs to my 6 for 6 layout club were all the ladies do a layout each month based on my sample.  This month we were doing the layout called "You're my Inspiration" and I was teaching them how to make these cool coffee filter flowers, rough the papers up to make them look vintage and do some painting and stamping.  Melanie brought her finished layout the other night to our club and this is the amazing layout she finished off!  Isn't it gorgeous!?!  I'm so thrilled with how it turned out.  Great job Mel!

Bright and Cheery cards

I love this color combo with the Stampin Up Pool Party cardstock as my base, then Wild Wasabi pleated ribbon and peach and yellow printed papers.  I've come to find that no matter what printed papers I have, from whatever company... I can always match them up to one of the Stampin Up cardstocks!  It's pretty cool.  These were pretty quick and easy cards to make using lots of the premade embellies from K & Co.

More cards from the Prima papers

 

Here are a few more cards I made with the left over Prima Papers from my Cherished Memories layout.  I am just loving the peach and black color combo!!

 

Have a great weekend,

Cherished Memories

I just loved this new Prima line and really went all out purchasing the embellishments!  I love the color combination with the peach and black.  This layout was for my 39th birthday... yes 39 last year.  :D   And that means 40 this year. :-)

Yes I do love to make cards!  Here are some new cards I've come up with with my left over Prima stuff from the layout.
