This is a fun twist on connect four. 

Maymay has really been challenging to think and create.  

If only I get my craft room clean.

Link your card to Maymay's Post and you can win both of her current stamp sets. 

Here is the game board.

You have to choose any 4 but the trick is they must connect

Sycamore Street Designer Paper from Sale-a-Bration 2013



If you would like to order any of the supplies listed please send me an email.
The first 4 orders will receive a 6x6 sampler back of the sycamore street paper

I combined some same Stampin Up with some CTMH.

I found a card with this punch technique online and had to try it.

The butterfly stamp and punch are retired Stampin Up and the sentiment is from A Tree by CTMH.

I punched the paper so only the butterfly wings punched so you could see the color beneath. It took me several tries and not sure if I have it mastered yet. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All of the ink and paper are from CTMH

I have really gotten into stamping since becoming a CTMH consultant. If I only had more time.

for $10 and the stamp of the month for $5 of you spend $50

Thanks For Everything Card

I needed to make a thank you card and thought I would use my stamp set Casual Expressions.  

I cut a whole page of  1 1/4 inch ovals and a whole page of  1 1/2 inch ovals for a shadow using my Artiste Cartridge.

I put them in the pouch with the stamp set to use for next time. 

 A few of the stamps use this size and shape.  

The Clementine paper was a scrap I had

I thought I would keep it simple so I could easily make more as needed.

Items Used:

Cricut Artiste

Casual Expressions

Clementine Paper

Bitty Sparkles

Twilight Ink

Twilight Paper

Colonial White Card Base

I love using the Quick card stamps.  Bountiful Season is new for the Autumn/Winter idea book.

Don't forget spend $35 and get the double stamp set  It's Your Day for $35

I hope all the mom's are having a great day.  

I made this card last night for mother in law.  

Thanks to this site 

http://digitalartbydani.blogspot.com/ it was very easy to make.  

I cut it out on Silhouette Cameo and used some paper I had in my craft room.

I also used some pearls that I bought at AC Moore for $1.  

I love the details you can cut with the Silhouette and that you don't need a cartridge.  

I still use my Cricut but I love having both.  

My craft room is almost organized.  

I made everything on this card using the Art Philosophy Cartridge.
I love all the card bases you can make.
I put a glue dot in the middle of the butterfly so it looks like it is flying.
The finished card will fit in A2 envelope.
The paper looks blue in the picture but it matches the lagoon ink.
