Happy Anniversary Cards for Funday Friday Challenge

Good Morning and welcome :) Today is Funday Friday over at Jo's Scrap Shack and with the theme of Anything Goes. Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Little Blue Button Stamps. I created 2 cards with the left over Love Birds – printable art tiles bottle caps designs:

 Love when I can get rid of my stash and also when I can eliminate a few extra stamps and get cards made from them. I was challenged to use circles in various ways on another site so the 1st card is the 3 circles in 3 different sizes for the background. The 2nd card was the circles to be used in a wreath and I added the art prints to both cards in the center of the circles in play.
Using some 6X6 paper from my current counterfeit kit: Just Bloomin' Lovely it was easy to get this put together and came together fairly quickly too. Thanks for stopping by today and I look forward to seeing your creation for this fun challenge.

 So make sure to play along this week~

Funday Friday-Anything Goes

Hi you all and Good Morning yay it's Friday! We have a Funday Friday Challenge for you, Anything Goes create a card, a layout or project challenge over at Jo's Scrap Shack. Our sponsor is Paper Nest Dolls and that is where my digi came from for today. This is Love Strung Ellie:

My card is based on the sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2
 

I used a variety of leftover designer paper from my past 2 counterfeit kits for the card. The card base came from my cardstock stash the Brocade pack from the paper company. I used the doily side of a chosen navy paper and the rhinestones from last month and the pinks paper and the orange/red strip came from my February kit that I still haven't put away yet, lol just to busy creating I guess. The lavender bow came from my ribbon stash. I used Spectrim noir markers to color Ellie and Fruit Punch stickles to color in those hearts.
The inside isn't quite finished yet, I want to use 3 Twenty Crafts: Say It From the Heart Stamp Set:




It's a great set to get you feelings down on paper. The inside: the background is more of the doily paper, another piece of the pink pattern paper (this was the cut up paper from February's kit), a piece of the pink leftover from the cardbase and a border of butterflies.

 An upclose shot of Miss Ellie:

40th Anniversary Card

Hi you all and happy Thursday to you:) Today I have a card I made for my SIL and her husband's 40th Wedding Anniversary, the party was this past Saturday. It was a nice little get-together that the boys and Steve's brother put together as a surprise:)

So this is the card I made, the color for 40 years is ruby so I did my best to stay in the red theme. Used some of my counterfeit kit paper and some glitter paper too. Red cardstock and the red blotchy paper for the background. More red cardstock for the swirl design (Silhouette Design #15716), the smallest heart from a nesting hearts file: Design ID #9542 and butterfly file: Design ID #43296(just the top layer). the 40 is stickers with sticles on top of it.

 I tried to flex up the butterfly to give it some demension
The inside of the card:

I layered with the red blotchy paper and the white inked with red and added that heart the was created from the center of the swirl file to the inside.

Joe (on the right) doing the toast for Mary and Steve (center with one of the G-daughters in the front)  and Ben looking down, the boys did well :)

Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world....
