Proud of My Hockey Star

Challenge #5 at Color-me-scrappy.blogspot.com has some great colours for you to try.  This one was not my "go-to" colours so certainly a challenge to make it work!  I used a couple snips from an old batch of Authentique.  Most of the paper and the brads are Karen Foster, JillyBean Soup chipboard letters and a hockey stick all from a BoysRule hockey themed kit I picked up at Scrapfest! LOVE IT!  I added some ribbon from my stash some CTMH twine, stamp and tag.  I hope you can all be challenged too at Color-Me-Scrappy, try out a challenge and win a prize, it is seriously fun to try to work with a colour palette, so try it out!

Momma Love

I made these cards for my Mom and my partners Mom, there is just something
really special about a Mother's Day card, don't you think?

I used some neat tricks I learned from Vicki Boutin when I took one of her classes at Crop&Create in Markham, in January.  In this class we learned a ton of great techniques including what you see here, slamping on inked cloth and that supper cute crate paper flower!  Vicki is a great teacher, if you get the chance to take her class I highly recommend it! Using some of the leftover supplies from what we created in class I created this card for my Mom, she was at the class with me so could really appreciate it.  Paper used here is Authentique as well as the tags, the brads are BoBunny and stamps from Close to My Heart!

Here is a close up of the flower!  

This card was for my new Mom-IL and she loves sheep!  I found this stamp at local king rubber stamps!  So cute!  I know she would love them, I also used Basic Grey paper and letter stickers and CTMH cardstock for the base.

I used Echo Park This & That it has such great summer colours! I added a small slice of Authentique, some Basic Grey stickers, BoBunny brads and Close to My Heat acrylic stamps and ink

I picked up these banners at scrapfest in Kitchener in April and sprayed them with ink, they curled up a bit so I had to tug on them a bit but I love the weathered look as well.

Also found this canvas flower and prayed it too, so cute!

 I am really into using cardboard right now (this cardboard came from the packaging on my new BBQ) I tore up the pieces into scraps to add to my stash!  Yaye recycling!  It needed something more so I added some shine by painting it with pearl paint, but to kept the rustic look, I tore up the sides a bit!
