Welcome!!
and Congratulations Julie on your Blogoversary!!!
If you just popped in to see what I've been up too be sure to head back to the start and hop along with us.
There will be blog candy along the way and some really great projects too.
Julie wanted us to celebrate friendship.
I know I have made some really great friendships here online and chances are I won't ever get to meet these new found sisters but we can have lots of fun together regardless.
I chose to make a couple cards to share with you.
On the left I used some scrap paper,inked it up and spread rock candy along the edges.I then used my sewing machine to stitch on a heart over some burlap.Quick and easy.
The flower on the right card is made from layers of tissue paper,I really like it ,looks better IRL.
I was going to send one of these to a friend I have been missing lately but we just started to reconnect again!I am so happy!Friends are the best!!

Even my daughter was in the friendship mood the other day when they had another snowday.
Her and her BF wanted to make some cupcakes.
They did a great job but I wouldn't plan on eating one though...I caught them licking each of them....girls just protecting their stuff from brothers I guess.
Well I hope you have fun hopping with us as we celebrate friendship.

Oh these are lovely! I love the textures you have on your cards. And those cuppie cakes are pretty too ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects, Chris! I love the burlap on both those cards. Good thing you warned me about those cupcakes, 'cause I would have eaten them, for sure! Thank you for being one of my online friends that mean so much to me, and I'm so happy you joined in this hop!
ReplyDeleteChris, I love your work - ALL of it! Such a talented lady. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, those cards are beautiful! I love your style, Chris! The cupcakes look gorgeous - but how funny they were licked!
ReplyDeleteCHRIS!!! I LOVE your hand cut hearts!!! and of course your style is fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteLove the stitched Heart with the burlap string. Both cards are great.
ReplyDeleteLuv the burlap,sewn heart, tissue papaer flower...ow darn just luv your style!
ReplyDeleteso very pretty... beautiful flower!
ReplyDeletefirst, I am so lol about don't eat the cupcakes!! my dd licks each chocolate chip before she puts them in the cookie batter (but dont tell anyone - we are the only ones who them anyway!)- but your comment was so funny!! I love love your cards and the flower is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would do the same thing to protect their creations! They look too cute though
ReplyDeleteLol!! Too funny about the cupcakes! But boys probably won't care, and eat them anyways!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
I love that heart over the burlap and I have wanted to try making the tissue flowers. I used to make tissue paper flowers when I was young. I also remember making them out of Kleenex for some Girl Scout ceremony. I have enjoyed making friends with you over at CC :-)
ReplyDeleteChris, I love the heart and burlap, it turned out beautifully. I also like the tissue paper flower, beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWow, Chris - those are stunning! Wow, wow, wow!
ReplyDeleteLove the textures and the layers! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your cards. I need to branch out and try some new things like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI love your cards! And the cupcakes look so yummy!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris! So glad to meet you :) Your cards are Gorgeous!! Love your style. Look forward to see more of your creations.
ReplyDeleteYou've got two of my favorite things to put on cards, sewing and burlap 1 Great job!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. Live the simplicity of the first and the delicateness of the second. It was a good thing you saw them lick the cupcakes before you tried to eat them!
ReplyDeleteVery very nice cards. Like how you used scraps and a variety of techniques. Great work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards love the heart one! Great way to use scraps! Had to chuckle about the cupcakes! TFS
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your blog through Julie's fun hop! Love the recycle projects!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards!
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud when I read that your daughter's licked their cupcakes to keep others from eating them!
I love those cards, the cupcakes story cracks me up. I don't serve my daughters baking to others because she licks her fingers too much lol
ReplyDeleteI love the card on the left! The twine is divine!
ReplyDeleteI love the cards!!! My son would have eaten the cupcakes anyway :) hehehe
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS cards!!! WOW!!! Love them both!
ReplyDeleteI am STILL giggling over the cupcake story! It reminds me of my doing the same thing to my box of valentine chocolates. My sister used to eat all of the good ones in mine while I wasn't around so I finally got smart and licked them all. Thank you for the memories and the inspiration!
I LOVE your cards (as usual), Chris!!!! That flower looks great in the photo, and I really need to get some of that rock candy! I love that your daughter and her BF were in the spirit, too!! (BTW, I so used to do stuff like that so my brothers wouldn't touch my yummies! Hehehe) ♥
ReplyDeleteVery fun. I like the use of burlap here. Not my favorite embellishment most of the time but it goes real nice with the more rustic heart.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm, pre-licked cupcakes....
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Chris!
It never fails. When I check out your blog projects I end up saying, Wow, to myself. Your style is so cool and something I really should remember to try and copy. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the heart/burlap card. I also got a great laugh thinking about the girls licking the cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, Chris! Oh, and my sisters and I used to lick cupcakes before our baby brother could eat them. Too bad it usually didn't work! He was pretty gross, lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, love all of the textures and layers of elements. The cupcake story cracked me up. Nice work on those too! LOL Already a follower. not sure if I needed to tell you that. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the use of burlap and tissue paper on your cards! Thanks for the inspiration! :0)
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower and love those cards....I am always so envious of those who can sew, not my thing, but I love the look....
