You Make ME Smile


I'm playing along with Becky's Compose a Card challenge #8. I loved her daughters Easter dresses. I think I would like one in my size.


The basic design of the card happened by accident for me. I was working on another card for the Peeps challenge using dot spot and put my dot spot on the acrylic block backwards which created a circle that looked a little distressed. So that was the beginning of this design.

I then stamped the right side of dot spot using a smaller size than the background dot. I embossed with Zing Chestnut to get the finished look.

A sentiment using Signature Greeting, spring moss ribbon and a New Leaf button finished this beautifully.


If you saw my last post you know that I had 88 bags of pine bark mulch delivered on Saturday. We are half way done. My body was so tired last night that I just SAT! I took a couple of pictures this morning. Nothing like new mulch to make a flower bed look wonderful.













Have a great Monday everyone! ~ Rhonda

Supplies used:
stamps: Dot Spot, Signature Greetings - Papertrey Ink
Paper: Dark Chocolate, Select White - Papertrey Ink

Mr. and Mrs.


Here Comes the Bride!! This card is for Becky's Compose a Card Challenge. I finger pleated my ribbon and then sewed the silver cord down the middle. I used one of the stamps from PTI's Turning a New Leaf as the image to emboss. I think it turned out great.


Do you see the lovely pearls? I made these!!!! A new product from Viva called Pearl Pen made these little beauties possible. You can made them any size you want and there are several different colors to choose from. Once dry (which doesn't take to long) they are solid.


I included a pix with the pen beside the card to give you a reference on the size it is.



I purchased mine from Susana's Custom Art here. I think she is already out of stock. I ordered mine on Friday. It shipped the same day and arrived at my home on Monday.

INFO UPDATE: Kara asked if you could color them with Copic Markers!!! I made some pearls on wax paper and colored away. They are gorgeous.

Enjoy your day! ~Rhonda

let's chat! On my Couch


It's time for Becky's Compose a Card Challenge. I'm so happy with the color choices this week. Thank you Becky!!





I love black and white together but then when you add a pop of color with the required Ripe Avocado you get a classy combo. For my negative stamp side, I used PTI's true black with SU's retired stipple plaid background stamp in fresh snow. I also embossed this side for a little shine.


For the positive stamp, I used PTI's On my couch stamped in Memento tuxedo black.  Ripe Avocado saddle stitch ribbon and buttons from my Grandmother's button box finish this card.


I hope you can play along this week too! Have a great day. ~ Rhonda

PS Don't you just hate it when you mis-spell a word on a comment and can't fix it???? AWWWWW

Friends to the End


Compose a Card with Becky has it's 2nd challenge up! If you played along with PTI's Anniversary Celebration then you probably saw the cute birthday balloon digi stamp that Becky designed as well. I think the stamp had a Dr. Seuss feel to it! Loved it! So I continued with that feel for my card today.

I cut my 5" mat with a deckle blade to add a little different look. The flower base was made with the Sizzix-Flower Layers #3 die. The middle layer is a 1" circle punch stamped with PTI's Polka Dot Basics 2 in versamark ink. I love how the 1/2" circle punch added a fun top layer to the flowers.

Flower stems stamped in non traditional colors of Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst, and Spring Moss add to the whimsie. The stem is from SU's Funky Flowers. I tried to use Lemon Tart but it didn't show up on the white. By alternating pop-up dots on different layers your eye continues to move around the card.


I spaced one set of score lines at 1/2" to fit the PTI Mixed Messages sentiment - Friends to the end. My package of Hibiscus Burst buttons had this great flower button. I used DMC cotton perle string to tie it on.


Did anyone else think photographing a white card was a challenge? Hope everyone has a great weekend. Enjoy the Super Bowl or if you are like me, turn it on for noise and then STAMP!
