Mother's Day - The Seasons Spring Time II

Hi Friends...I finished my mom's Mother's Day card today and before I send it off to her I wanted to share some pictures of it.  I really like the colors I used and love the new digital I got this week from Saturated Canary. I know my mom will love it and that's what really matters...

I actually picked the Summer Stories 6x6 paper pack first.  Then I saw the Saturated Canary Challenge and its colors kind of fit into the color pallet they have posted so I'm going to enter this card into their new Challenge #42 which you can find HERE.  The pink might not be quite bright enough but the other colors fit beautifully!

Also to all you mothers out there "Happy Mother's Day"!  Enjoy your day, I'm sure you deserve it!

Here is my finished card...Enjoy...

Milk Carton - Saturated Canary Challenge #41

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing a Milk Carton Project that I am going to enter in the current Saturated Canary Challenge #41, which you can find HERE.

I found this template for the Milk Carton at Ruthann Zaroff's web site, which you can find HERE.  The template can be made into any size you want...mine is made using a 12" x 12" sheet of White Bazzill Cardstock.  The beginning size I cut out is 8" x 11 1/2".  With the 11 1/2" side at the top of the Score Board, I scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", 8 1/4" & 11".  Then turning the paper so that the scored 1/2" tab is at the bottom, I scored at 2", 6" & 7 1/2".  When you see the template this should all make sense to you.  You will also see that there are a couple more places to score and fold to actually make the finished project look like a Milk Carton!

I started this project months ago...  I really became motivated to finish it when I saw that the new Saturated Canary Challenge was "Anything Goes" which is perfect for my Milk Carton Project.  I had already finished one side using the Saturated Canary Digital "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue" before setting it aside.  This week I worked to finish up the other three sides using a different Saturated Canary Digital for each one.

I'm going to use this Milk Carton as a gift card holder.  All I need to do is untie the bow on top, open the carton, place some confetti and a gift card inside, and then retie the bow and the gift will be ready for me to give.  I really love how it turned out, hope you do too!

Enjoy!

Marry Me - Bridal Shower Drawer Box

Good Morning Everyone!

I have three Weddings and a Bridal Shower to attend between now and November, so I'm finally starting to make the cards for them.  The first one I completed is for my brothers fiance's Bridal Shower.  It is a Drawer Box with an Easel Card on the top.  I'm going to put little marriage inspiration sayings in each drawer (there are four drawers) along with a gift card in each.  I used a tutorial from the LaLa Land Blog by Nicole Zarra to make the box.  You can find the tutorial HERE.

I have used a Saturated Canary Digital called Marry Me and this project fits the requirements for the Saturated Canary Challenge #26...B's.  I needed to use at least two items that starts with B...my items are Bride, Butterflies, Box and Bows.

Here it is!  I hope you like it...
