Ahoy Anchor

 Playing along with Splitcoast Stampers Sketch #1065.  

Since it is about to be Father's Day, I thought I would create a masculine card using a sea theme.

The strips of paper are cut from two different paper pads.  "Voyage" by Authentique and "By The Sea" by Carta Bella.  The anchor & ahoy are from a die set by Carta Bella.

Hummingbird Beauty

 This is my take on Freshly Made Sketches #687.

I used stamp set Wishing You by Altenew.  I stamped and colored the flower and hummingbird with colored pencils.  I ended up fussy cutting the different sentiments after I stamped them and glued them in place since they were all separate sayings.  The background paper is from Paper Rose called Maya's Garden.

Love Birds

 I made this card for my daughter and her husband who will be celebrating their 24th anniversary in June.  (Almost at 25 years).  The stamp set is by Aall & Create called Love Birds.  The paper that I used is by Echo Park from Anything Goes collection called Floating Feathers.  I also used the sketch by Splitcoast Stampers #1063.

Make That Basket!

 Playing along today with Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #670 and DTC Challenge #191.  I really wanted to make this a Father's Day Card, but it turned into a Birthday Card.

The basketballs are made from the die set by Spellbinders called "Sporting Goods Set".  The paper is from Authentique called "Basketball".  The sentiment is from a stamp set by Stampendous called "Sports Frame".

Happy 95th!

 I am so blessed!  My mother will be celebrating her 95th birthday on the 28th of this month.  I can't wait to celebrate with her!

I used Freshly Made Sketches #686 to create this card for her.  The "Happy Birthday" circle was made from a die set called "Round of Happy" by Catherine Pooler.  Balloon Numbers die set by Honey Bee Stamps was used to make the 95

Full Bloom

 I realize I am waiting until the last minute to take part in this sketch challenge, but I was determined to get it done before the deadline.

So this is Try A Sketch On Tuesday Challenge #669.  My card is kind of springy and flowery and the sentiment says it all.

And to all the Mothers out there, have a very Happy Mother's Day tomorrow! 😊💕

Mother's Day Flower

 It's a week before Mother's Day and I've been working hard on making Mother's Day cards for my mother, sister, daughter, friends, etc.  I thought that this sketch #684 by Freshly Made Sketches would be perfect for a Mother's Day card.  

I used a die by Technique Tuesday called Cosmos Flower for the focal point.  I cut it out twice in two different colors and used the cut-out pieces to fill it in.  The sentiment is from a Waffle Flower stamp set called Essential Celebrations.
