A little sneak peak...

Check out SheetLoad of Cards for a little sneak peak of the June issue. It's sure to be another eye catcher.

Super quick post today. We are so busy her landscaping our place. It's going well, it's just time consuming. I'll take some pictures when it's all done. I have a pear and cherry tree coming soon. Check back on Monday for a little giveaway too. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy some sun.

Some more Lime Ricky & SheetLoad reminder

Good morning. Today I have some more Savvy'n'Sassy projects to show you. Today it's Lime Ricky ribbons. These are so bright and fun. Here is a picture. Oh and do you see that amazing pom pom ribbon in there? Oh it's yummy.



First up I did a layout about turning 35. I used Pink Paislee paper and embellishments and Jenny Bowlin pearls.



Next this is my little leprechaun. Isn't he cute! I used the Basic Grey Lime Ricky paper and American Craft Thickers. I ran my sewing machine over the circles and popped up the sides



This is a cute little project that I learned from Becky Fleck in a class. I love this little card. It's bright and fun.



Finally, more fall photos. I used some My Mind's Eye paper and die cuts, Sizzix die cuts and Chatterbox brads



Also don't forget all the great chances to win over atSheetLoad of Cards. I'd love to see your take on this month's sketch and a shout out to SheetLoad!

I hope you have a great day, enjoy the spring weather wherever you are.

May SheetLoad project #3

Another Friday, another SheetLoad project. Today I have my "Beyond the card" project. I made this little acrylic mini book using the sketch. I used Basic Grey, Kaiser rhinestones, There She Goes stamps, Prima flowers, Savvy'n'Sassy ribbon and Staz On ink (to edge the acrylic). It's a little friendship book.



Another quick Friday post. I'll be back next week with some more creations. Have a great weekend.

Ann's picks

This month at Savvy'n'Sassy I got to put together a ribbon kit. This was very exciting for me. So I went with my 2 favorite colors, green and brown and here is what I came up with:



I love it, some of my favorite ribbons are in this kit. And here is what I created.

First up I made this recipe tin that I've been trying to do for years. I used Basic Grey Porcelain paper, Bazzill flowers, Prima flowers, Kaiser pearls and my Quickutz.



Next I used the new Chatterbox paper, brad maker, & charms for this paper about my favorite guys.



This one is my favorite, I love fall pictures. I used Coredinations cardstock, 7 Gypsies paper & brads, Riff Raff chipboard, Glimmer mist, American Craft thickers, Prima flowers, Making Memories tiny alphas and my sewing machine.



And last a layout about my wonderful guy. I used 7 Gypsies paper, Riff Raff chipboard, Glimmer mist and buttons.

2 Sketches 4 You Card ~ May 18th

Happy Monday! I hope you are enjoying your day off if you have one. It's dark and rainy here (there was snow this morning). A good day to do some cards. This week at 2 Sketches 4 You the sponsor is ShortCuts the sister site to SheetLoad. Alicia has some great clear and frosted card bases and gift card holders. They are fun to play with. So this week that's what I used. I actually did a card and a gift card holder.

Here is the card I did. I used a clear ShortCuts base, Basic Grey Lime Ricky, Cuttlebug dies, Spellbinders dies, Stickles, Kaiser rhinestones, Making Memories tiny alphas and my sewing machine.



And a different view:



And here is the gift card holder I did using the same paper and items. Pretty quick and easy.



Well that's it for today. I'm hoping the weather is going to get better this week and I can enjoy some time outside. Have a great day!
