Jar of Sunshine and Happiness

Hi friends!  I hope you're having a great day.  We have NOT had a good day.  I was at the doctor's office a lot today.  I'm trying to get some things under control with the pregnancy.  Then on the way home from my second trip to the doctor on the same day, our car broke down.  Hopefully, it's nothing serious.  

Onto happy things, I haven't participated in Unity's Friends With Flair in a really long time so I figured I should go ahead and enter this week.  I used Unity/Simple Stories Jar of Sunshine to make this card.  This jar is HUGE so I figured I should make a card base of out it.  I coated the jar in Liquid Glass after I stamped the sentiment so it would be glossy like glass.  Then I added the sunflower and the Divine Twine after it was dry.  I'm also entering this in Moxie Fab World's Jars of Joy Challenge.

MTE: Simple Window Card

Hi friends!  I hope you had a great week!  We are doing pretty good over here.  No plans for the weekend but maybe we'll end up doing something fun.  I'm blogging today over on the My Thoughts Exactly DT Blog and I wanted to share my card here as well.  

For my card today, I used My Thoughts Exactly Many Thanks.  I decided to pull out a set of flower dies that I've never used before.  I die cut the flower pieces, embossed them, layered them with foam tape, and then added some Stickles.  Then I grabbed my background paper and cut a label out of it.  I adhered this to my card base using foam tape to create a window.  I placed the flower in the window but it's still pops off the page because it's layered.  Then I added the sentiment right on top of the background.

Have a great weekend friends!

Happy Shower

Hi friends! I hope you all had a great day! I never ended up making it out of the house. The kids didn't complain though. Not that they really ever do, they love staying home. We have a huge backyard so that probably has a lot to do with it.

I was talking to my friend Savannah and she was helping me figure out what challenges I should do. She told me about a couple challenges I should try. So, here's the card I managed to make. I used Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #135 which I already knew I wanted to use. Then I decided to use Simon Says Stamp's Sing It challenge. They asked for us to be inspired by a song or movie title. I was inspired by Rihanna's Umbrella. I also sought inspiration from Jay Gee's Nook Challenge #11. There was a lovely photo to be inspired by with a yellow umbrella in it. I used Lawn Fawn's Partly Cloudy and some Simple Stories paper. I also used both Green Apple and Lemon Divine Twine.

Have a great night friends!
