A Few New Cards

We have really been enjoying Spring Break! We haven't went anywhere, but we have been enjoying each other. Yesterday, Prince Charming had to go back to work :( He was home for 3 weeks because of the surgery, so it is a little tough with him being gone. Over the last few months, he has not been home for more than a few days, and having him be here for that long kind of spoiled me. I am so thankful that he has a good job in this economy, but it doesn't make it any easier when he has to leave for 2 weeks.

Today, I am taking Callie and one of her friends shopping. It's a big deal here because we have to drive 45 minutes to get to the nearest mall. Which I am very sure Prince Charming is glad of :) Then she is having 2 friends stay the night. She has great Christian friends, and I love that because they pray for each other, and they pray together.

Yesterday, I sat down and made 4 cards and a layout!!! Do you ever have those days when designs just come to you?? It has been wonderful to want to create and then have the time to do it. I can't show you the layout because it is for the ScrapFIT Blog Hop on Friday. Did I happen to mention that there will be LOTS of prizes *giggle* I have more than 1 thing to give away, so stop by Friday.

The first two cards were made with the new Piggy Tales Thumbelina lina. It is perfect for spring with the bright and cheery patterns and colors. It is gorgeous. The rub-ons and journaling spots are way too cute!!
Here is the first:



I added a polka dot ribbon to a white grosgrain ribbon. I folded it and stitched it the card. I also cut out a few flowers from the patterned paper. I then cut a pop dot in half and adhered it to the card for a 3D effect.



This card does make me smile! I love the paper and big ribbon!! Jenni Bowlin has come out with this super cute buttons (and I only had to buy every color!!)




I actually started this card at Christmas. It is made with Pink Paislee's Mistletoe line. I could not figure out what to do though. So, I added a chipboard elephant from Sassafras and a rub-on from K&Company.



I made this card with CPS Sketch #158. I used Dear Lizzy papers, flowers, and the rub-on sentiment.

That's it for today!! I hope everyone is having a great week. I wish it would slow down just a bit! Make sure to come back on Friday for the blog hop and your chance to win!
