All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.

Key to my heart

You are the Key to my Heart
# 534-2016-08
I went to JoAnn's craft store the other day just to see what new stuff they had as far as craft supplies are concerned, and I found this cut and emboss die set that is called Lost & Found. So, I thought the key die cut would look good on a card. So I used my BigKick to cut out 2 keys and the small heart, and then used my Stamp & Cut Yes die cut for the bigger heart and added a glittered heart on top of it to make it stand out a little more before putting it in between the 2 keys. Then I used Baker's Twine with the small heart. I also used my scalloped squares die cut and then sponged on some red ink on the edges to make it stand out a little more. And after using double-sided dimensional stickers to adhere the keys and the hearts onto my card, I used my alphabet stamp set to stamp on the sentiment using black ink. 
I hope you have enjoyed my card for this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card sketch challenge.

The image I used is a digi stamp I found on Pinterest. I thought it would look cute on a card, so I printed it and used it with pastel yellow and turquoise cardstock papers. The sentiment is a rubber stamp and is stamped on using black ink. Then I used Baker's twine to give my card an added image.
I am entering this card in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card sketch challenge.

Just Because

Just Because
# 530-2016-07
My theme on my card is an idea that I got from Kathy from The Daily Marker. I recently purchased one of those little relaxation coloring books that has mandala pictures in it to color with markers. Yesterday, while on facebook, I saw a post from Kathy's The Daily Marker website showing how to make handmade greeting cards using pictures that you have colored, such as from the type of coloring book I just mentioned. So, I chose a mandala picture that I wanted to use on a card and then I used my markers to color it in before cutting it out and putting it on my card.
The sentiment is from my All Year Greetings stamp set. The monarch butterflies are cut out from my hand punch.
