Sassy for Dotty - Day 20

Since I am still up, thought I would go ahead and post one more card that I made this weekend with the Dotty paper collection.  I love the inclusion of the ribbon on this card!  It OH, SO Makes the card!

The card design is Name Plate and is from Wishes.  The finished card size is 8" x 3 1/2".  The wide Sweet Leaf Ribbon was adhered in the "whiter" space of the pattern so that it blends right in.  The flowers are from the Paradise Just Blooms Paper Flowers.  The corduroy button is from the Sunset Mini Medleys.

My Ultimate Scrapbooking Challenge, 188 card designs completed and just 20 left to go!

Sassy for Dotty - Day 18

This spring, Close To My Heart introduced these adorable milk cartons, but I haven't spent much time playing with them until this weekend.  I wanted something cute, and self-contained, for Nicholas' teacher for Teacher Appreciation week and I thought this container would be super cute if filled with cards.  I played and measured and discovered that the milk carton would hold eight 3" x 3" cards and envelopes.  I used the Dotty for You paper pack, the February Stamp of the Month, Sunset and Lagoon Exclusive inks, Sunset Mini-Medleys, Paradise Baker's Twine, and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge to embellish the carton and in creation of the cards.  I am excited for Nicholas to take it school on Monday and am hopeful that his teacher likes it!

Sassy for Dotty - day 17

Today's Dotty project is a card that I made for my niece's 2nd Birthday.  I have been wanting to create a tiered cake card for quite awhile, but never seemed to find the right combinations.  For this card, I used the Polka Dot sides of the Dotty paper and the Paradise Just Blooms Paper Flowers with a Smoothie brad as the flower's center.  The finished card size is 5" x 7".  The little pennants, which are quite the hot trend currently are stamped and cut out and "hung" on a piece of Baker's Twine that is also Smoothie.  The card design is Three Tiers from Wishes.  I have not used this card design before, so for my Ultimate Scrapbooking Challenge this takes me to 185 designs completed and 23 still to go.  This will be one of the cards that we create in Card Club on Monday night.  Stay tuned this weekend to see the other cards!

Ms. Betty White!

Nicholas and I spent Friday at the National Zoo and much to my surprise, Betty White was there as well!  Nicholas was a little too young to know who she is, but Mommy sure knew!  I used to love the Golden Girls...it was my favorite show to watch on Sat. nights while babysitting.  What an honor to see Betty White! And thanks to my little man who patiently waited while I took a few pictures! 

Our second favorite highlight was seeing the Panda up-close-and-personal.  The last time we went to the National Zoo, the Pandas were so far away we could barely see them...this time, that was definitely not the case!  This one was right up next to the fence and I didn't even need my zoom lens!  Very cool.

The very best part of the day, was truly the day itself.  Being able to spend "just us" time with Nicholas was such a blessing.  He was so proud to introduce me to his friends, to lead me around the zoo by reading the map and just to have Mommy all to himself.  We tried to take a picture of the two of us together and were somewhat successful...after about 5 shots of the tops of our heads, or one of us cut out etc.   I will cherish this day for years to come because of the silly memories like these! 

Sassy for Dotty - Day 16

Although the lighting wasn't very good, this is a card that I created for my son Gabriel.  All three of my kids have field trips tomorrow and sadly I can't be in three places at one time.  My Mom is going with Abby, and I with Nicholas, and although Granddaddy volunteered to go with Gabey, his class already had their "chaperon limit".  He was pretty sad tonight so I thought I would tuck this little card into his lunch bag for him to find at lunchtime.  The finished size is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2". 

Sassy for Dotty - Days 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15

I am playing catch up a little this evening for being sick so I thought I would share a card class that I am teaching next weekend.  The class is a "simple" card class perfect for the beginner or the seasoned card maker who wants to make some quick, but cute cards.  The cards are all made from the same card design...just 8 different variations.  The sentiments:  they are all from the same stamp set, making the stamping portion simple and fun.  The colors - spring and summer inspired:  Lagoon, Sunset, Smoothie, Sweet Leaf, and Sunny Yellow.  More class details to follow.
