Kaisercraft Forget Me Not (Mother's Day) cards

I had already made a wonderful Mother's Day card for my 94 yr old Mother In Law but decided to make another that was more frilly and embellished that she would cherish. The second card was for her twin who she would be spending the day with. They love each other so much and fly back and forth between their 2 houses (Indiana and South Florida) and are in such great health!! Praise God!
So here are the details: I chose a die that is 5x5 and cut twice, for the background paper as well as the eyelet frame. I also cut a cream piece to use to stamp the inside sentiment. Using Kaisercraft Forget Me Not collection, I made these beautiful Mother's Day cards and embellished with seam binding and doilies from my stash for the 2nd one. The seam binding is real vintage and matched perfectly, and the bling is Want2Scrap bracket bling. The sticker had powder applied from EK Success powder tool, to de-stick and then Scrapbook Adhesive pop dots applied to pop it up. The "love" sticker is from the Kaisercraft sticker sheet, and the only other tool was my Platinum 6 die cutting tool and Tool N One from Spellbinders.
   Also, I was at a NSD crop and had forgotten my Mother's Day sentiments and was lent an amazing Stampin' Up Mother's Day set by my friend. That's what I love about scrapbooking!! If I have something you need, it is yours and visa versa! And we talk and play all day together. What fun!! Great to have friends like that!
Happy Mother's Day!

Authentique Masculine Party Layout

Loved these papers and made this fabulous Masculine Party layout!! I used the Authentique Party papers. The Cake was fussy cut from the journal papers and then added to a doily. The man's balloons were fussy cut as well as the banner so that the large 5x7 photo could be tucked under them. The bow was from the older Teresa Collins Celebrate ribbons in which I made a double bow. Love these plaid and bold teal papers. The journal sentiment was cut from the tab of paper at the edge of each sheet that shows the UPC tag. Loved making this and happy to get it posted finally!!!

Vienna Concert Layout

Again, using the Stuck?! Sketches other sketch, I used it for this double layout of the Concert we attended in Vienna on night. For this layout, I turned the sketch upside down and backwards. It allowed me to use the other sketch as well, somewhat for the right side layout. I turned it on it's side as you can see.

Photo story: We were treated to a Wiener Conzert of Mozart and Strass by the Wiener Residenzorchester. The Clarinet Concerto, which is also performed by the conductor, was a highlight of the program. The show leading up to it is delightfully amusing.

Supplies: Kaiser Craft Time Machine Gears and other papers that were still in my stash; Prima Marketing Tales of Me blossoms and other Prima flowers as well; vintage doily; seam binding; lace flowers; Queen and Co. music notes trim; Grey and brown cardstock.  I used my Cricut Explore to die cut the titles and used a combination of Blackletter cartridge and Old English Font with Bazzill Charcoal cardstock.
