Ballet Celebrate card

Isn't this a sweet card for a little ballerina?  I'm making some birthday cards and was looking to use some of the FabScraps goodies that I brought back from CHA.
FabScraps came over all the way from South Africa to the Atlanta trade show.  Those ladies had the most delightful accent, and no, I did not point that out. 

I actually used 3 products on this card from CHA.  FabScraps had a booth at Open Market that completely SOLD OUT!  If you didn't make it to their table in time, you were out of luck.  I was a smart girl, heading to their table first.  I picked out this pack of pink ballet designed paper called "Victoria's Shoes" and the coordinating sticker pack.  Look closely and you'll see that I distressed the paper.



I also created a Celebrate sentiment using the Spellbinders Celebra'tions Tape It stamp set.  I stamped it in a blush ink so it doesn't show up as well in this photograph but it's so pretty in person. 

The 3rd CHA product I used was from Pinkfresh Studio.  I fell in love with Kinnari Zaveri's super trendy products.  I snagged this washi tape from Open Market also.  The colors were perfect for this card.

Lastly, I scattered some pretty green gemstones and added these gorgeous Queen & Co clear bubbles that I picked up on my recent trip to the Scrapbook Expo in Duluth, GA. 



I also recently had the opportunity to meet one of my design team members in person from Mountain Plains Crafters.  MariLynn was traveling on vacation to the South and we worked out our schedules to meet up.  She made the beautiful quilled flowers!  She's so sweet.  July was a fun month for me, no doubt!

Just because Owl card

I got this cute Owl stamp set called "Just Because" from the Unity Stamp Co.  One of the best things about Unity is they send freebies with every order.  I decided to incorporate a couple freebies into this card, the songbird background (behind the wood grain image) and the green string around the tag.  I also used the Unity background stamp called "Grainy" with some Tim Holtz distressing ink.  I love it!  Gives this page a woodsy feel.  I also used a distressing tool on the paper and edged it in ink also.  On the tag,  I used some Basic Grey Paper Cottage stack.  I plan to use more of this stack in an upcoming card set I'm working on so check back.
