Congratulations Geli

Hi everyone! I kinda fell off the blog wagon for a week because I've been busy that and I couldn't find my camera until tonight. lol My husband hates how I can never remember where I put things. My youngest sister Angelica (Geli) got married and I wasn't there but I did put together a card to go with her gift. I can't believe I missed her wedding but those are the kinds of things we have to sacrifice with being overseas. I used Jen Del Muro's sketch for this week which was really fun and one I'll turn to often I'm sure. The card base is Rose Red with Regal Rose layered on top. I used Stampin' Up! Raspberry Tart dp paper which I LOVE! It was my first time ordering this paper and will order some more soon. I used the stamp set Botanical Blooms by Stampin' Up! which is one of their Sell-A-Bration's sets. Very pretty and delicate set that it is. I used my Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder and finished the card off with 3 buttons. Now I just need to go out and find her wedding gift here in Germany and mail it off.

I completely forgot about card making day yesterday! What a shocker! Actually we were busy all day anyway so I wouldn't have had time to make anything. I spent my Sunday blog hopping and couldn't believe all the challenges for card making day and decided to partcipate in a few. I check on Suzy's blog often Inky Rubber. I LOVE the cards she makes using Jen Del Muro's Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT). I've always checked Jen's blog out but never participated. Here is my first card using her sketch challenge for card making day. I used a double sided piece of cardstock by Making Memories Noteworthy collection called Audrey Pink Floral. I HEART this cardstock and unfortunately I only bought 1 piece while at the craft center on base. I went back yesterday and there was NONE left. Of course because it's soooooo pretty! I love the flowers on one side and the polka dots on the other. I wanted to distress the card so I sponged all pieces with Stampin' Up! ink pad in Creamy Caramel. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
