SCA03 Flourished Baroque Motifs and Cupid

Here is a sample digi card I made using my SCA03 sketch from the other day. I made it in my Scrapbook Factory Program and it is a regular A2 size. Again the flourishes in this card are from the font PanHead and the Cupid is from a Wingding (I will have to go back and look this one up for you it was a fairies but I can't remember more then that).

The pink you see is actually a swatch of PTI it is the Berry Sorbet. If you go to Papertrey ink and save the color swatches you can work with the PTI colors digitally, I think this is fun I so adore PTI's Perfect Match colors.



And above you see a card I made with the sketch using SU's Baroque Motif stamp set. Again I used PTI Berry Sorbet and Palette Noir. I used the rock and roll technique on the flowers to make them pop a bit.

SCA03 Flourished

I am so disappointed in my scanner I did not want to post another pathetic looking image so I have made you another sketch instead. In honor of PTI's new sympathy set (can't wait to get my hands on this one) just a few more days to go for Jen's challenge. Silent Night also has a beautiful flourish along with SU's Baroque Motifs.

Do you have a favorite flourish? Please leave me a comment in this post if you know of more I would love to check them out.

The flourish I used in creating my card is called Panhead, the bracket strokes make these beautiful flourishes, I was so happy to find this font ;) and the best part is it was free (If you wish to use for commercial use you will have to get permission from the font creator

Happy Stamp Day!

Bella Rose Floral Frenzy

I so can't wait to get a new digital camera, I am very sick of this scanner and its inability to scan color images. This card is beautiful IRL the colors go so amazingly well together, I did stamp the flower centers they are done in PTI's sweet blush and that color is not even showing up here. The fold part of the card is where the flowers are stamped, I love this card style and have used it a ton lately. I made it a Sketch challenge a few weeks ago, you can find that post here SCA01

Get Well Wishes... ribbon slider

Yikes, the colors are way off on the scan for this photo. IRL this card looks so darn cute I love these PTI colors in combination.

The ribbon slide was designed by ME using Cricut Design Studio and George Cartridge. If you wish to have this cut file just leave me a comment in this post and I will send you the download link.
I designed the slide so the PTI ribbon would fit perfectly and not fold up in the slots, so happy with myself on this one.

Got Skates?

It was so fun to see our little J on skates. She took to the rink like a pro and after just a few minutes she wanted nothing to do with the walker. However, she did want to go and join the hockey players. She flirted with them a bit and totally made her sister jealous. Who would have thought at the tender age of 3 one could skate...Oh, how fun it would be again to have the inhibitions of a child.

The older girls had never tried the sport before and were having a difficult time just standing up.



As a kid I used to skate the winter away, going to have to get a signed confession from Grandpa for my Girls to believe me. I was dreaming of putting the skates on and gliding over the ice, I was so good at it. Seems like that was a lifetime ago, I was terrified yesterday of just slipping on the ice. My sister and I would put our skates on at the house and walk for blocks to get to the rink. Some weekends our friends parents would take us out to a farm and we would skate on a stream or stock pond. My Grandpa used to live in town and when we would visit him my sister and I would go skate the river that runs through the park. So funny that my girls can't even conceive the thought.
