Cheer Up Buttercup!

I had some scraps left over from a card I made for Becky's challenge, so I decided to create something else with the squares.  Here I've lined them up right next to each and stitched them together with a zig-zag stitch.  I saw this from one of the other entries, Terri.  Very cute - and I'm always looking for an excuse to get my sewing machine going.

I've discovered a great color combination:  Lemon Tart, Ocean Tides and Berry Sorbet  Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? 

The picture is not the greatest, sorry.  It's from my phone and then cropped in photoshop! Ugh.

Papertrey Ink Supplies:

Cardstocks: Ocean Tides, Berry Sorbet

Stamps: Scattered Showers (sentiment)

Ribbon: Lemon Tart satin

Epoxy dome stickers

Vintage Cream ink

Other:

Patterned paper from My Minds Eye Dreamy 2

3rd Post Today! ANOTHER card for Becky...

Again, here is Becky's Compose a Card Challenge #9.  This is probably my last one for the weekend. :(

I took some inspiration from Teri Anderson.  She always uses her extra letter stickers in such a fun way, so I thought I'd give it a try.  Here's my card:

I scored the kraft mat to create the tic-tac-toe board and inked the edges with pure poppy ink.  The sentiment is from Signature Greetings.

Thanks for looking!

2nd Post today! More cards for Becky

Again, here is Becky's Compose a Card Challenge #9.  I like that it is pretty open and versatile.

I used some Making Memories Dreamy 2 patterned paper and Bitty Dot Basics in Lemon Tart from PTI. 

The butterfly is from Butterfly Dreams that Niki Estes released in February from PTI.  I ran it through my Xyron upside down and sprinkled some prisma glitter on it for some sparkle.

Thanks for looking!
