Here is a little baby card that I made a while back. I love this little elephant die cut from Making Memories!

Alright, back to work for me!

I am so glad I found time to do this challenge. How awesome are these colors?

Here is my card!

These flowers are from a Kristina digital cutting kit. I love them! I stamped them with text and houndstooth. I like the play of feminine and masculine with the patterns on the flowers.
The houndstooth on the new leaf card base has been clear embossed and the black card stock piece has been stamp with text style with black ink for a subtle effect.
You’ve gotta love buttons and ric rac! 🙂
The sentiment is stamped on a label one die from spellbinders, but I only let half of the shape show through.

[Supplies]

Paper: Papertrey Ink (new leaf), Michael’s Brand (black and cream)

Ink: Versamark, Papertrey Ink (new leaf, true black)

Stamps: Papertrey Ink (faux ribbon, text style), Hero Arts (houndstooth)

Etc: random green ric rac ribbon, Ranger clear embossing powder, Papertrey Ink true black buttons, random green embroidery floss, Kristina Werner’s Spring Flowers Designer Cuts, corner rounder, Quickutz Silhouette, Adobe Ilustrator, Spellbinders labels one dies, cuttlebug

Thank you so much for all the well-wishes for Vegas. We had such a great time, and my brother’s film Easier with Practice won the Grand Jury prize at the CineVegas Film Festival!!! How incredible is that? He is off to Edinburgh now for another festival. This one is even bigger, so I am excited for more people to see the film!

I thought I would share some photos from our trip!

The movie had top billing on the marquee! 
My brother and I before the premiere.
Kyle on the red carpet! Thank goodness I am tall with long arms, I was able to take pictures above the press :).
Me and my hubby exploring Vegas.

The fountain show at the Bellagio is so beautiful! We watched it twice!
This art installation was at our hotel. It made me endlessly happy. There were lights that scrolled down to look like rain. It was seriously beautiful!
Look at those gorgeous umbrellas! So much inspiration in this photo! 🙂
Mike and I went to see the Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil show, and we loved it!! It was absolutely incredible. I love the Beatles so much, and they use original recordings that are remixed to fit the show. It is not a cover band or anything like that. That made it more amazing because no one can top the Fab Four! They also put Blackbird in the show which made me so happy. I will leave you with the lyrics to this amazing song:

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Black bird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

all your life

you were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise,

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Thank you so much for visiting! 

Have an amazing day,

PS. I am hoping to finish work early so I can enter Dawn’s color contest! 🙂
