Scrapping the Little Things & Online Watercolor Class Day Five

GOOD MORNING my sweet friends! I hope ALL of you crafty Mommy's had an AMAZING weekend!  I had the BEST birthday/Mother's day weekend!  I wanted to thank those of you for the SUPER SWEET birthday cards AND gift cards I received in the mail! I was pleasantly surprised that so many of you know when my birthday is! I felt EXTRA SPECIAL…..THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! xoxo

Okay, now onto my 2 projects for today! First up is my card (above) that I made for my homework for day 5 of the "Online Watercolor Class for Card Makers" that I am taking! Okay, I was SUPER EXCITED to get the "Derwent Inktense Color Pencils" for my birthday! In one of the instructional videos, one of the teachers used these for her card! I thought, what PERFECT TIMING for me to get these! ;) So I used these watercolor pencils for my card today. (If you decide to purchase these pencils, I highly suggest using your coupon because they are little bit pricey!) I had picked up this flowery stamp from Michaels a few months ago, but I had filed it away so good, that I could not find it! lol…. LUCKILY when I was looking for something else, I found it! ;)  The sentiment is from my "Treasured Moments" stamp set! 

Okay, now onto my smash book page! I took this picture of my boys & my hubby at church last month for my niece's baptism. I just LOVE how this pic came out so I HAD TO add it to my smash book! Instead of just adding it straight to my page, I thought it would be fun to use this Brick Stencil that I've been hoarding for some time now! ;)  I used silver embossing paste & I was pleased w/it when I was done! I basically just added everything to it & it was all done. 

MCT products used:

Thrifty Thursday ~ Circles

GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Thrifty Thursday"!  I hope you are sitting down because my design team has some AMAZING cards for you today! Today, we are all using what we have on our craft table or just our scraps. As you can see, we have a little "Circle" theme going on here! ;) Today all of our cards consists of some kind of circles which I think are pretty FUN! I decided to do a circle shaped card since I haven't made one of these in like FOREVER! In my video I show you how I made it using my EK Success circle cutter. I have the older version, but you can get the new version of this cutting tool  HERE.  Since I had to cut out all of my circles separately, I put them all together using a brad so my card can swivel open.  

I even cut out a circle to layer on the inside of the card to put a sentiment!

I am REALLY happy w/how my card turned out! You can see in my video below exactly how I created this FUN circle card today!

Supplies used:

~ Lowercase Fun Dies

~ More of my Favorite sayings

~ You are here! (arrow)

~ Lace Ribbon

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" 6x6 paper pad

~ Simple Stories "I heart summer" decorative brad
