Can't you just hear the music to the Wedding March!?! The design team has gotten together to show you wedding themed cards and projects which also feature Scor-Pal!
As it turned out we did not have to build an ark yesterday, but the rain made it possible for me to work inside on my project. I NEVER seem to be able to finish things early!
But, I am so glad you came by today! If you've joined me from the talented
Maureen's Blog you are in the right aisle! If not, you could start over at the
Mag Highlites Blog for the complete list. The start of the Blog Hop March is at
Janiel's blog! She has a wonderful project to share!
It's so exciting for me to be able to make a wedding card and gift because we have a family wedding in THREE WEEKS! Our nephew is getting married to a wonderful girl! Jessica's girls are wearing eggplant so I started there with my colors. I love rich Sahara Sand with whites and creams so I used those for my neutrals. I don't really think Cale is wearing a brown tux, but it seemed a good color for my work.
I am always so inspired by
Norma, so my project is a nod to her talent~from her I copied the flowers and the Step Easel type of card. So talented is our Norma! I know many of you have made these!
Of course, another wonder of our stamping world is Diana, Queen of Magnolia! These stamps are from her great store! Here's the link to the mini and regular sized
BRIDAL COUPLE (158)
The regular sized LOVE CAKE is also in the store right now! Diana is expecting NEW stamps in any time now, too!
I tried to keep the coloring very simple and here are my colors:
E00, E00, R30 and E11
E50, E33, E37, E47 and E08 (Yes, Cale is a redhead!)
E42, E25, E33
RV91, (#, (%, RV66 and 69
The new E81 (Ivory) is all I used on the cake and her dress (with 0 blender) Great color!
I used the lace on the bottom to look like a lace table cloth (and I can enter in the
Just Magnolia challenge! make it lacy!)
My Small Pizza box is directly from the
Scor-Pal site and directions are EASY!! This could hold some pretty filler and cash or a gift card. It is 4" square.
I would be lost without by Scor-Pal and Scor-Buddy! They are never far from me when I'm papercrafting!
And couple more pictures!
Below-so you can see the sides of the box!
Now, you'll be Marching off to
Angie's beautiful blog to see what she has been up to! I know you'll enjoy it!
If there's anything you're wondering about my project that I haven't explained, just let me know!
I think I've gone on long enough and you want to be on your way! If you'd care to leave a comment you can be entered for a chance to win 3 Magnolia images and maybe a couple of other things that I love!! Entries will close on Friday night, May 20!
Thank you!
Thanks so much!!!
Hugs, Cheryl
With so many stamps it was very fun to work with, but it is pretty self explanatory so I guess I don't have much to say about it!
I used #275 Mini TILDA IN LACE JEANS and #427 LAZY SUMMER FLOWERS for my circle card. I stamped the flowers twice on white xpress it blending card. I stamped Tilda on the same paper and cut her out after I'd colored her.
I see so many great dies from Marianne, but I don't have any! When I go to buy them they are always sold out! BUT, I do have this great die from My Favorite Things! I used it on the smallest grand large scalloped circle with a fold at the top. I don't have the grand large circle dies so I used the largest die from the regular set and traced the outside of it on my pink dotted paper (back side) and cut it out to get a bigger circle.
So today is for creating! I always check the featured stamper on Splitcoast on Sundays. I had partially colored this bear from I Brake for Stamps and had chosen my paper. The rest went very quickly because I decided to keep it simple! I LOVE this bear!! There are others by the artist too!! Here's the LINK: Rick St. Dennis Bears.

Here is the close up of my bear and here are the colors I used:

I took a few shots to show you that she is a bit 3D. I stamped her twice and cut out her face/hair separately as well as the hand on the flower pot. I did not cut out a second flower pot. Instead I cut up the right edge of it and raised that portion with dimensional glue. The rest of Tilda I made 3D using dimensional dots. They are down the center of the cut our image, then I used a quick drying glue to glue down most of the edges. I glued the separate face on for more dimension. 
And here is Tilda (#371 Tilda with flower pot) going for a walk in her garden! Maybe like me she has new flowers and has to find a place to put them! I'm a sucker for greenhouses and always bring home more than I have room for! Right now I have so much weeding to do that I've made a promise NOT to buy anything until I get it done! We'll see!
And, before I go, another angle!
And, finally a wish that you have a good evening and weekend and thanks for coming by!
She loved dogwood trees. Now while we are near lakes, I grew up in Cherry Creek which is in a valley. The spring changes (warm weather and flowering trees) can be two weeks later than they are near Lake Erie only 15 miles away. So while the dogwoods bloom near the lake, it is a little more difficult away from the lake where we lived. But there was one in our backyard by the hen house. My mom loved that tree! I don't remember if my dad gave it to her or one of my older brothers and sisters but it was always beautiful in the spring! While it was more of the pink variety I decide to stick with the white ones for my card. Do you know the legend of the dogwood?
Here is a link to the legend better than I can say it. The Legend of the Dogwood tree. 
I hadn't inked up my #214 KING TILDA yet so that's what I picked to work with. The "You are So Special collection is the best! (Until the next one of course!) I see that this image is available in Mini form now and I will have to get an order in! Also, Diana has just announced that there is a new Rainbow Collection coming soon to her store! Oh, my! I will NEVER be able to retire! Here's the LINK to the leaf die from Magnolia-licious. The swirl die is also from the store, but I don't see it right now. Email Diana if you are interested!
I used papers from Simple Stories to determine the colors to use on my image. It's got lots of muted, vintage colors so that's the look I went with. I took a lot of pictures so you can see the dimension on our girl! I stamped her twice. On one image I colored only her top and hands. On the other I colored the pants and socks and her face, hair and crown. I cut them out separately and glued them on with dimensional glue. I added glue to have her right leg stand out, too, but it wouldn't stick so I added a small dimensional piece under it and accomplished the same thing.
Gosh, she's cute!! Here are my colors:
First up is my 3D swap. I made twelve of these little boxes-like a small crayon box. It's a free template over at My time Made Easy! The tag is from Papertrey and the stamp is from Whipper Snapper! If you have any questions about them, just ask!
Then, this is what I made (30 of them) for the tag/bookmark exchange which was new this year and what a fun swap. 
So, in trying to get back into it today I wanted to show you (my loyal followers!) a card I made for my friend, for Lisa Kind. She is so talented and always showcases the most wonderful cards and projects!
