SHELTERING TREE


In the middle of chaos comes some peace.  The Sheltering Tree stamp set definitely brings a calming effect on this card.  I imagine that someone is having a picnic nearby.  This was also one of the cards we made at May's Card Class.  I was inspired to make this card while browsing through the Inspire Create & Share Annual Catalog. Check out page 16. I switched stamp sets but used the same template. See how easy it is to make it your own? 

  






Stamp Set:  Sheltering Tree
Ink: Momento Black,  Cucumber Crush, Early Espresso, Pacific Point, Old Olive

ELEGANT PEAR CARD


We are nearing the end of the 2014/15 Inspire Create & Share Catalog and will soon be  sharing the new one!  I will miss some of the retiring products, but love getting new stamps, papers, & tools to play with!

Today we will feature the retiring DSP- Back to Black - I cut out the Pear to use as the main focal point on this card.  Then I layered several strips of Washi Tape with the Fancy Foil Designer Vellum.  Sprinkled the Gold Sequins for some sparkle.

DR SEUSS PARTY

The challenge theme at THE PAPER PLUNGE  is April Showers.  I have some fun ideas for a party centered on Dr. Seuss!  I can't take credit for the all the ideas cuz the party was done last week by my daughter in law!  Here is the fun day!

The Lorax Sour Cream Treat Containers


There were Thing 1 and Thing 2 and not just a few!
I also saw Horton who hears a WHO!
The Lorax arrived to "speak for the trees".
There were treats galore "oh my, oh me!"


The Cat in the Hat shared a lot about that,
Then Sam I am brought green eggs & ham!


Sally & Ted were at the window to greet,
The buffet was filled with drinks & sweets.


You could color or draw, paint or slide.
Mold with play dough
or take a pose and say HI!


In the  bathroom was one fish or two.
I may have saw a red fish and a blue.


At the end of the day was a bag of fun,
and a hug good bye, enough said, well done!








My daughter in law- Alyssa has a delightful spark for throwing a party for the kids. Her theme was Dr. Seuss. There were around 20 little ones and many parents stayed to enjoy the day (and a beer!).  I didn't get permission to share all the kids pictures so I will stick to posting Addy & Harrison's.





I was tickled to make the Lorax sour cream styled treat container with an orange tootsie pop inside and the green eggs and ham pretzel bites!  Alyssa takes credit for the rest of the spread!  Her artwork and the help of her sister in law with the photo booth area were amazing!







Join us at THE PAPER PLUNGE  for some more April Shower ideas!
