30 minute before work card

So...for a few minutes before I had to get ready for work I decided to put my chores I didnt get done this weekend aside just to let my creative juices flow.  So, I put on palladia (I have digital cable it is in my hd stations), sat down at my desk and went to town.
For this card I gained some insperation from DCWV Cafe Mediterranean stack.  I really wanted to use a sheet of papertrey ink clear cardstock.  The sentiment on the card was of course from Pink by Design.  The paper I stamped the sentiment on was of course from papertrey ink.  They have adhesive white paper that I just couldnt live without.  For the flower I used my gypsy and walk in my garden.  I know flowers like this are kind of one of the hot new things, so I wanted to put my twist on it.  A lot of tutorials I have seen suggest a brad or eyelet.  I simply used some tape runner by elmers and adheared the flower together after I distressed it with some brown ink, and added a colorbok gem in the center.  I must say I am in love with this card!  I hope you enjoy!!!

Happy Birthday T-ma!!!!!

Today is Nick's mom's birthday.  I made her a card and sent it but couldn't post until I knew she got it!  So here is a picture of it.   I used the butterfly from gypsy wanderings, all paper from recollections (even the card portion), I sprayed some glummer mist on the green backing, pink by design stamps and voila!
Hope you enjoy!

My first vinyl.

I am posting from my phone so please be patient!  This was my 1st attempt at vinyl.  Not bad if I do say so myself!  The cut is from the newest circle member cartridge...cricut everyday.  I was so happy to see this phrase.  I have a grandmother who use to quilt.  She has unfortunatly stopped because of the progression of ALS.  She use to have a wonderful sewing room.  One sign that I always loved in there was "She who dies with the most fabric wins!" 
I love the color and look that came with this and for my itty bitty scrap spot this was the best place.  Next project is the two canteens that are here.  I think we are going to put the key lime vinyl on Nick's, and white on mine.  I plan on decorating my cricut too.  I think I just found a whole new addiction!!!

Hope everyone enjoyed this quick post.
