"PLAYING WITH SERENADE" by flowerdisco & friends

Welcome to

ROUND #5

of 

"Playing with Serenade" 

Today I have image #30 and it is a beautiful branch. I did not want to take any other image from this cartridge to accompany my branch so I went and got my acorn from "B is for Boys" Cricut lite cartridge.

Nuts about You

4.25" x 5.5" card

The card looks crooked in this photo but I give you my word is not crooked in real life, lol. too funny.

The branch had another small branch I cut off because it just didn't serve my purpose, wink-wink

(The truth is I was going to make a layout but I wasn't feeling too good the other day, so I went for a smaller size project, and after cutting my branch to the magnificent size of 5 inches, I had to cut that part and more off to fit in my card, hehehe. I had cut three huge acorns too at a size of 3 inches each, but I just had room for one, lol.)

I am practicing with my bows and they are coming out a bit better, as you can see.

My papers are from DCWV, the "Nuts about You" sentiment  is from MPS clear stamp sets and you can find out  HERE where to purchase. I also used my dear textured American Crafts cardstock and a Martha Stewart punch for a small detail behind the papers, added some glitter using my glitter pens and Voila! :)

 I also added some outlines with a black pen.

 My huge acorn at 3 inches high, lol

and you can see I used my distresser too.

I decide to use another acorn for the inside of my card. The top has been embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Tiny Mosaics. Isn't cute?

 Enjoy!

Now, let's see what my friends made with their assigned images.

HAVE A "MOO-VELOUS" DAY

You my friends are the best, you are so gracious with all your encouraging words and knowing you are there for me no matter what it make my days.

I thank You from the bottom of my heart.

  My son will be leaving for NYC this Friday. The school chorus were invited to perform in the AliceTully Hall on Sunday. Now, that is another major accomplishment. Our school has so many opportunities for our kids to get involved and participate and my son takes advantage of anything musical/academic. Music is my son's passion.

A big CONGRATULATIONS to this group of singers for making it to the
BIG APPLE for another great performance.

Anyway...I did not have time to go to the Gym yesterday because neglected things needed to be taken care of. (Did I mention I got a gym membership to try loose these extra pounds I put in after my open heart surgery, when I stopped being a chimney, lol)

Well...I had a bit of extra time and I made this cute card for you guys.

HAVE A "MOO-VELOUS" DAY 

 This is a 5 by 7 inches card.
The steaks....oops, I mean the cows, lol... are from the Animal Kingdom cartridge and
 were cut at 4 and 2.75 inches. The smaller one was mounted on pop-dots.

-----

 The sentiment "Have a moo-velous day!" is from Robyn...My Pink Stamper who you all know I design for You must know by now that most of the time I used American Crafts textured cardstock  I want you to notice the kind of clear/crisp these type of high quality photo-polymer stamps are giving me
even on a textured surface.
-----

The butterfly and glitter flowers are from a K&CO pack from my stash
and I used stickles for the eyes.
The background with the clouds is a cardstock from Debbie Mum
and the green area is from DCWV, the Songird collection.
-----

Ok...one more thing I used was one survivor from the Sakura Glaze pens I bought a while ago (most of them dried out on me, I will never buy them in packs like that)...the survivor one was the black one and used it to give their hooves (feet, lol) a nice shine and I love how it came out.
-----

 This is the inside of the card and the lined envelope.

I hope you like it a lot...it was lots of fun to put together.

Animal Kingdom has some nice layers easy to work with too and I was really pleased to
get to used this old cart.
It has so many images I forgot about.

Love to you all and...

Have a Moo-velous Day!!!!

JUST ANOTHER POST IT HOLDER

I really enjoyed making these small cuts with Create a Critter. 

They look so awesome on the cover of these Post-It Holders.

You should make one too.

Sweet Chick!

  I left the ribbon long again because it will be easier to open and close and the reason I opted for a ribbon is because I do not want them to open up in their purses if  they carry them in.

The stamp is again from MPS Punnylicious latest release. They coordinate so well with some of the cartridge images and specially with this Create a Critter one.

Thanks for stooping by and
I hope you all have 

A terrific Mother's Day weekend!!!

Love and Hugs to all!
