Playing in Paradise

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  Thank You for taking a minute out of your busy schedule to come and check out what we have for you this week.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog.  For this week.... we have a color challenge for you. 

I was lost the minute I saw the challenge for this week (been busy with camping and waited till the very last minute to do my card)...  I had all the colors, but couldn't quite figure out how I was gonna do my layout.  Top that off with.... which color will go with what.  The colors are beautiful, but I think my problem was that, mine are not the same shade.  Instead... I used my Alcohol Inks with Alcohol Blending Solution on photo paper, then cut my butterflies with Spellbinders die cut.

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.

More cards for you

More cards for you!

You will notice that most of my card will have this new look.... I love 5 X 5 card, but it's a waste of my Paper Trey Ink paper to do one.  So I came up with this idea... I trim my paper so it will be

10 X 8.5 and then cut it in half to be 5 X 8.5.  I then scor it at 5, leaving me with 3.5.  Using a DP to cover the rest of 3.5 side to become even with the other side.  Sounds too much work for you? It is... but I sooo dig this new look.

Sparkly Birthday Cards

This is a scheduled post... and it's Sunday.... I'm hoping by the end of this day my bathroom will be done.  And I will spend next week cleaning and organizing my new renovated bathroom.  Hmmmmm.. that sounds really good to me!

More cards for you!

7th Birthday Party

My little one turned 7 last month!  Her actual Birthday was the 11th of April, but we were so busy that we didn't do her party till last weekend.

For her cupcakes she requested flowers as the main decoration.  She actually asked for 6 flowers per cupcake..... which is made of royal icing.  She loves them!!! I don't think our dentist will be happy about that though.  I was able to convince her to do three instead. 

Here's a close up look of the icing flowers.  I used tip #233 for the grass.

Playing in Paradise #65

Happy Friday my Paradise friends!!  I can't believe it's May.... pretty soon we'll be busy with camping.  My girls are sooo excited that camping season is finally here.  Lots of work for me though.... the first initial set up is always a bummer, but after that will be a breeze.  I'm actually looking forward to it.... there's about 8 families that we camp with and it is never dull.  It will be nice to see them again.

I hope you will find time to join us with this week's Playing in Paradise Challenge over at the Scrapbooker's Paradise blog. This week's challenge is by Nina with this beautiful spring picture.  Lots of possibilities... so put on your crafty hat and create with us!

Here's my spring card!  Just love my new yummy DP by First Edition Paper "Daydream" perfect with my Lily of the Valley "Friends and Flowers" die cut.

 Hope you will check out the rest of my team mates for some ideas.
