Celebrate Sunshine!

Hello Friends,

Today was a beautiful day! The sun was out and the temperature reached 71 degrees, this is a wonderful, warm feeling since we haven't experienced temperatures like this since last October! I made more cards that I wanted to share with you.




This entire cards screams Papertrey! My friend gifted me some PTI products this spring
and I am having a blast with them! The designer paper is called, Library Ledger...
funny I would love it, huh? The stamps are from the set that was just released called,
Big Birthday Wishes and the die cut numbers are called, By the Numbers Collection.
The By the Numbers dies make it so easy to create a card for that milestone birthday!




This little girl is a digistamp from Heather Elison's Etsy shop.
I visit her online shop often, she has the cutest little girl and boy images
for a very reasonable price. If I need to fix a new stamp craze I will look
for a digistamp, they are usually only $1-$2 each.



Clean and simple, just what I like. Although this card looks like
it would be very easy to create, it was actually harder than it looks.
I had a hard time placing the flags so they would look like
they were hanging naturally, it worked out in the end.
I just had to add a little bling to the sentiment!

The flags are part of a banner collection and
Bakers Twine is from Papertrey ink.



I have been asked to make more preteen-boy cards lately so I went
and purchased a 12x12 piece of "boy themed" designer paper and
added some circles "falling" down the from of the card.
Again, simple and clean with a clear message!



I saw this design or layout in a card magazine and just had to try it out. I used a background
template from PTI, you can see the crosshatch design in the card on the left, rolled out a circle
on my Cuddlebug, cut a 3/4 hole in a solid piece of designer paper so it would fit the circle. Cut
out a banner for the happy birthday sentiment and added some brads The background paper is called, Espresso, from Stampin' Up! Again, another new color!


 All of these cards are part of an order that I whipped up over spring break. If you are interested in purchasing cards, please email me at: nroach2008@gmail.com. I love paper crafting and sharing it with others!

Have a great Monday!
God bless,
Nicole
