Happy Monday!

What a beautiful weekend it has been here in southern California! With all the rain that we have been having the last couple of weeks, the wild flowers are starting to spring up everywhere. I love this time of year... the grass along the freeway's is always so colorful. I am also starting to see lots of love bugs, a.k.a lady bugs, on the flowers and plants in the yard. 

Today's card was inspired by all the flowers and love bugs that are popping up everywhere.

The flowers shape is from Just Because Cards and the love bug is from the Paisley. I welded two of the flower shapes together to form the base of the card. The total size of the card is 8.89 x 4.29, the yellow circle was cut at 1.98 x 1.98, and the love bug measures 1.43 x 1.75.

The papers are Doodle Bug Design and Coredinations.

The sentiment is from here.

Tomorrow is the start of a new Tacky Tuesday challenge! I can't wait to show you the projects we made... we even have three guest designers this time.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hogs and Kisses!

Happy Monday!

Did you have a good weekend? I spent Saturday with my BFF, Caroline. Every year her hubby and his dad go skiing for a week in Tahoe. He left Saturday morning and so we decided to have a "girls" day. We drove to Temecula, CA and went shopping and then had lunch at a yummy restaurant in their quaint "Old Town". It was a beautiful day and we ate out on the patio and had lots of fun talking and spending time together. Then yesterday afternoon I spent some time with Theresa, working on projects for this week on my blog and for my up coming Ustream with Alex.

Have you heard about the Ustream that Alex and I are having?

I hope that you will join us as we share some FUN and EASY paper crafting tutorials, LIVE all evening !!! Pop IN and OUT at your leisure AND you never know... there might be some fun GIVE AWAYS too !... wink, wink :)

I can't wait to tell you MORE of what we have planned! So stay tuned ! We are so EXCITED that we just might explode! :)

You can RSVP here!

So lets  get on to today's card shall we?

You can't tell from the photo, but the pigs/hogs are on wobbles. The card was made by welding together two labels from the Lacy Labels cart. The pigs and heart were cut from the Just Because cart.

The inside of the card says, "Hogs and Kisses!"

The papers are Coordinations and K and Co. The twine is from The Twinery.

OINK OINK!

Pulling For You!

I made this card for my BFF's husband. He is running for San Diego's County Assessor Recorder/Clerk position on June 8th. He knows that I am "pulling for him", but I saw this card in the Just Because manual and I thought I would make it for him. See the video below for more detailed information.

Happy Scrap'n!
