I came home tonight and needed some down time so for my relaxation I made this card.  I used the distressing tool to rough up the edges of the stamped image and I really like the look in combination with the frayed fabric strips.

Products used: CTMH Tickled Pink Kit, unknown brads, Miss Elizabeth 3D flower sticker, CTMH cardstock (White Daisy, Blush, & Crystal Blue).  I used my CTMH Distresser to rough up the edges on the blue paper.  I love this little tool!

Challenges:
CPS 127 – sketch
The Pink Elephant Challenge #26 – 3 brads, 1 flower, design paper

This time it’s a baby card made from my stash.  The only thing I can tell you is that the vellum “It’s a Girl” sticker is Bo Bunny.  I’m happier with this one but that could be because it’s pink.  I used my CTMH Distressing tool to rough up the edges of the white square in the center.

Simon Says Stamp Challenge – Let’s Get Distressing!

These layouts are from pictures taken in the flower garden at Como Park in St. Paul, MN.  They also have a zoo and a great amusement park (Como Town) for kids.  I highly recommend checking this out if you are visiting the area and would also suggest signing up for their newsletter prior to your visit to watch for specials.  My kids (ages 7 & 9 at the time) had a blast!

Supplies used: CTMH Whoops-A-Daisy paper, CTMH Watermelon, White Daisy, and Hydrangea cardstock, Pressed Petals Chip Chatter letters (sanded), fasteners, and gemstone brads from the Target Dollar Spot.  Layouts were inspired by sketches from the CTMH Cherish book.
