Scrappy Monday Layout Challenge- Life Is Beautiful

Happy Mother's Day!!! I hope everyone has a special day.

The layout I'm sharing today was made for a challenge at My Creative Time. Emma had a sketch for us to follow in the challenge.

Here is the sketch

Here is my layout

A 5x7 picture will go where the white rectangle is.

I cut these cute shaped tags with Cricut Birthday Bash at 3.5". I used Distress ink to color them.

The sentiments are from My Creative Time.

I am loving these wide eyelets.

This button was the perfect touch. It looks vintage and has writing on it to match my paper.

The used a Sew Ribbon punch to weave the ribbon.

This is what the layout looks like without the faux picture. 

I JUST LOVE THIS LAYOUT AND COLOR COMBO!!!

Sassy & Classy Mother's Day Card

Thank goodness its Friday!!! I'm so ready for the weekend. I'm sharing a card I made for Mother's Day for one of my dear friends. I love the way this card turned out. It is so cute!!! I should have massed produced it, but no, my cards are usually one of a kind made for each unique individual. But I'm thinking it would save me a lot of time at holidays to mass produce one awesome design.

This card is sassy and class just like my friend. I am loving the colors I picked for this card and the grey background was stamped by me to make my own print/pattern paper. The outfit the lady is wearing was printed on my Cricut Imagine machine using the Black and White cartridge, I also inked the edges with some white chalk ink and I love the effect it created. I added a cute tiny flower and a rhinestone with my iRock for some sparkle. Towards the bottom I added some matching sheer ribbon. The card shape is cut from Birthday Bash (love that cartridge) and the lady is cut from Forever Young. The sentiment if from MCT.

 Here is a coordinating tag I cut to go on the gift box. I love this tag with its scalloped edge on the bottom!

 I also added some black ribbon on the waist to look like a belt, but in the picture its a wee hard to see. 

I also stamped and inked the tag and added matching ribbon. 

I will be entering the card into the these challenge:

Challenge- Vertical Sketch

I created this card for the Vertical Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

I cut the banners and letters from the Cricut Birthday Bash cartridge. I had no idea what colors I wanted to use so I ended up just grabbing some scraps from my stash. I added some twine to the banner for some extra color and cuteness. I used some iRocks to "nail" the banner into the card. Thanks for looking, be sure to join my blog and keep in touch. Have a Crafty day!
