Playing with Serenade by Flowerdisco and Friends~~~Last Project :(

Hello friends! I really hope you have enjoyed all of our creations with the Serenade cartridge. I know I have! I want to thank Agnes from FlowerDiscosScraphut for organizing this and making this a fun series! I don't think I have ever seen all the images used before from just one cartridge! 

My last image was a bird cage.... at first I was stressing because, well... what can u do the just the bird cage?! Well, this past weekend I went to the Scrapbook Expo in Ontario, CA. and I found the CUTEST paper that would go perfect with my last image! My favorite part from this collection is the colors and of course... the brand is one of my favorites... BoBunny. 

I used a sketch from Scrapbook & Cards Today that was used in their Project 12. Click HERE to learn what Project 12 is.








What do you think?? I love this paper!!! I still need the journaling on it! Pictures are from a trip to Spain my DH and I took back in 2007.

Now, it's your turn to go see all the projects from the other awesome ladies!
Thanks for following this series!!!!

Playing with Serenade Week 6

Hello my dear Serenade followers! This is the the 6th round of Playing with Serenade!!! and I have to confess.... not my favorite image!! LOL A don't like these birds, other than their pretty color.... they are stinky, not cute, and well..... when I go to the zoo... they just stand there! LOL Sorry, am I being a bit to honest?

But, I had a really neat idea to do something with the flamingo.... but my Friducha(my Imagine) did not cooperate! I had planned on doing a LO with little Mermaid and the flamingos on the background.... anyways... Here is my card.... i'm not happy with it....




Please go visit the other Serenade Ladies!!!




Don't forget there a couple of things going on here at my blog!!!

Playing with Serenade Week 5

Hello my dear followers and viewers!! Here today with another round of Serenade!!! This is week 5 and my turn to play with image #29 (cherry blossoms).

I needed a bday card for my hubby's co-worker and I created this card with that in mind!



The green dotted paper is from a Prima Paper stack I found at Big Lots for less than $5!!

And the sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's stamps set!!

Now, here is a little taste of what the other Serenade ladies did:












Hope you like what you see!!!

She even sent me the pictures she had on how to do the flowers; which I will share with you but will give her all the credit! And... I ask of you a little favor... If you use her technique can you go to her blog and give her a shout out? Just let her know Abby sent you! :)

Week 3 of Playing with Serenade





Hello my dear followers!! Before I show you my newest creation with the Serenade cartridge I want to remind you of my BFF, Gaby and yours truly Weekly challenges starting this Monday, October 4th. We have an AWESOME sponsor, SEI!!!!! We will have SEI paper and embellishments EVERY week!!! For at least 10 weeks!!! Don't forget to join in the fun!!!!

Today it was my turn to play with image #15/a vase with a swirly thingy in it J

I found another awesome phrase and used it here. But, after printing the phrase I thought it sounded a bit negative… I wouldn’t want to receive a card with this phrase… hehehe

Here is the phrase:
“Trust is like a vase… once it’s broken, though it can be fixed, it will never be the same” Unknown

With that in mind I used Crackle Accents from Inkssentials to make the vase look cracked. I loved the way it came out!


Paper is from K and Company and I used a MS border punch.








SO I thought I could ask you to interpret this phrase for me…… and I will have my BFF help me choose whose interpretation we like the best and I will send you the card! YEP! You get to win the card!!

You have until next Monday night to comment about your interpretation on the phrase!

SO now you get to hop along and see more creations from Serenade from this group of talented ladies!



Have fun!!!!

Week 2 of Playing with Serenade by Flowerdisco and Friends

I hope you guys enjoyed last week's creations by all the gals that are participating in this series.

This is week 2 of the series and it was my turn to do image #8. It is the cloud with heavy rain. I have always loved clouds but would have never thought of using it by itself in a card.

Here is my take on it! I hope you like it!! I found the beautiful quote on the internet.



I tried the easel card for the first time.

I heat embossed the cloud. I used a flourish stamp that I purchased at Michaels.



The patterned paper is from Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper stash Lost and Found and ribbon from Michaels.
