Pinstripe Sunshine

After Lydia's amazing day three of the Altenew Academy, I practiced with a few colors and had a bunch of flowers that needed a home. I put this bunch of flowers on my card and the card looked a little bare. I saw Altenew's Pinstripe set, I had my inspiration and my wish list grew. :) Since I didn't have the set, I used my Mini Misti for a straight edge. I added some buds to cover a little slip-up. I love the finished product.


You are my Sunshine

I love to sing "You Are My Sunshine" to my little ones at bed-time. When I saw this sentiment with Altenew's Climbing Clematis, it sold me on this already gorgeous set. I love the gorgeous sunshine yellow flowers.

Climbing Clematis

I was testing out a new layout with my clematis. I really like them stacked with the little buds.

You Are my Hero

I have a couple of amazing women I was thinking of while I was making some cards. I recently finished an amazing layering class by Altenew. I'm enjoying learning about my new Climbing Clematis set.

Thanks!

My oldest is applying to a private High School. She needed a few recommendations from her middle school teachers. I hurried purchased Mama Elephant's Book Worm set that I have been eyeing.

Her English teacher is a HUGE Edgar Allen Poe fan. It's hard to make a Poe-inspired card with this adorable set. I decided to do some shadows and have a one-eyed black cat from his "The Black Cat" short story.

Her Math teacher loves the color green. I had a fun time finding math inspired titles. I love my green striped wall paper. 

Love Bug

I've had this sweet ladybug from Peddler's Pack sitting in my drawer for quite some time. I decided to pull her out and see what we could create. I used my craft knife to cut out a part of her hand to hold the heart. I love how she looks like she is blowing kisses.
