Pattie's Creations Challenge # 110: May Flowers

Hello again!

It's time for another challenge over at  Pattie's Creations!

So somethings you should know about Pattie's Creations! 

Pattie Gomez is a talented lady who creates some very cute images. To see for yourself go ahead and check out her Etsy Shop! 

She designs with a special little girl in mind called Pattieboop and her trust sidekick Allie! Pattie describes them below:

 "Pattieboop is an 11 year old girl who is very opinionated. She was created by me, Pattie Gomez on September 7, 2009. Pattieboop is an average 11 year old and she loves dressing up. She is very petite in nature but stands tall because her mother always told her that “If you stand tall you will one day become someone important”. Pattieboop always remembers her mother’s words and makes sure she is noticed. 

Pattieboop has a favorite pet named Allie. Allie is a slender black cat and loves playing and spending time with Pattieboop. Alllie spends most of her days napping and her nights are spent getting in to mischief…" - Pattie Gomez

Hello crafting friends!

HIMCR Challenge #147: Mother's Day

Hello Crafty Friends!

 It's Saturday, which means it is time for another challenge at Hiding in My Craftroom! This weeks challenge is Mother's Day. This can be any kind of project like a card, tag, scrapbook page, etc. It just has to say something about Mother's. :)

Our sponsor this week is:

 

The prize is a $7 gift certificate!

Here is the card that I came up with using an image from Pickled Potpourri.

This card is actually for my grandmother because my mom (Lena's Creations) and I are on the same design team! So since she get's to view this card early, it can not be for her! Hehe. 

This card was made with purple paper from my stash. The patterned paper at the bottom is from a paper pack set from Gina K. called Wisteria Lane. The image was colored in with spectrum noirs and the colors used were HB1, HB2, and HB3. 

If you need some inspiration for this challenge head on over to Hiding in My Craftroom to check out what the other team members came up with as well! Now it's your turn! Join in the fun and don't forget to link your project to Hiding in My Craftroom, Challenge # 147 - Mother's Day.

Have fun!

Mother's Day Cards

The two pictures below are of Mother's Day cards that I made for my wonderful mother. The one with the Mermaid is a Kiddo stamp. The one with the flowers was with the Gina K stamp set called Holiday Baskets.

Mother's Day Cards :)

I had a blast making all of these cards!
The first card I made using the Spellbinders "Floral Burst" - First time I've used it, and I think it's just so pretty!

The second card displayed is created with a Tulip stamp I just recently bought at Archivers. I think the color combination came out perfectly. I've recently started working with colored pencils and gamsol with stamps and so far I just have a great time doing it!

 I just learned how to make a "Waterfall" Card and I LOVE it. The waterfall card is actually for my grandmother for Mother's Day.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
