Thank You With A Tulip

{ Click here for Tuesday Alchemy's Tips & Tutorials Blog Hop }

I would like to give a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Eileen & Deanne!
Thank you, ladies!

I asked for help & they quickly provided it. It's so wonderful to have such supportive & giving women in my life :)

I pieced together the vibrant tulip before attaching it to a sparkling, handmade tag.

Kiss My Jewel

Pink & bling . . . what more could a creation need? Well, how about a little lace, too?

The lips are three layers. Base is just for stability, middle layer is covered in super sparkling glitter & top layer is a thick layer of glaze (like lip gloss!)

Thinking Of You

Well, this will be my final card for today. I ran out of time, so I wasn't able to do all of the challenges for 365 Cards. Darn! I was SO close, but I ended up going shopping with my partner. We went to the Army & Navy Store, Costco & Wal-Mart. We did get a few good things, though! A tent, screen room, olives & garden gloves.

Escape

Today's weather in Oregon is fairly mild, so I'm going to escape into crafting, imagining when it will be nice & hot & I will be swimming in a lake. I decided to attempt to complete a full week of challenges for 365 Cards. This is my second card today for them. Stay tuned to see if I can complete all 7 challenges . . .

Happiness Is You

I decided to test out a new punch that my mom sent me the other day. I love it because the presents can be decorated in any manner that I want. I kept this card quick & simple as I have a few other projects that I need to complete.

W is for wild - Wild animal, that is. This card is all about the wild animal print. Flowers have layers of cardstock AND fabric with animal print on them. The highlight? A super cute zebra holds two flowers by the stems.

Have Your Cake & Eat It, Too

Who came up with the saying, "You can't have your cake & eat it, too"? I mean, REALLY, who has cake and doesn't eat it? That's why I like this revised version of this quote. It just makes more sense!

A is for A

A is for { fill in the blank } - It can be amazing, awesome, or someone's name. This card was created with delightful details & open to your interpretation as to what it may stand for. The "a" started out as neutral kraft cardstock that I painted & distressed, so it is shabby chic & very sweet. The butterfly was pieced together before I added bling & polka dots.

This card was inspired by three challenges - See below for link & details, so you can join in the fun & create your own card (or post about "A"):
