Ladybugs are something I always associate with Spring and Summer. Sometimes we buy a little bag of the cuties to keep the bugs from our garden, and I always feel sad when so many of them fly away. With a little help from Boxer, we can have ladybugs all of the time!

My favorite part of this card is the Dazzles stickers, they are so pretty and very rich looking. This card is very simple in it's design. The vellum butterfly sticker by HOTP comes in so many wonderful butterfly designs. The background paper is from HOTP rich and spicy paper pack.
Boxer papers: mini gold brads, rich and spicy background papers & butterfly vellum stickers
Happy Scrapping,

I love this combination of the Black and White Stripe paper with deep purples. I roughened up the paper a bit to soften the look, colored in the Silver Greetings and Silver Borders Dazzles stickers with a permanent marker, and stamped the wedding cake using the Wedding Limited Edition stamp set, shading it softly using the ink pad and a water brush. Simple and Elegant. Now I just need a bride and groom to share it with!
Happy papercrafting!

I love the textures in this card. I used a Sizzix die cut to cut the thank you transparency into a unique shape. I added a Boxer paper flower and filled the center with beads, it reminds me of a poppy flower.

Another quick and easy card I created from Boxer's prayer transparency. I used a pink Boxer tag to put the transparency on a darker background and embellished with Boxers paper flower. I also used a Boxer pink botton and filled the center of the button with pretty beads.

Happy Scrapping,

I am a little late getting this week's entry posted...those darn headcolds can really take the wind out of your sails. LOL
I am still busily working up Thank You cards to give my sister in law as a gift.

This one uses the Blue Dot and Blue Stripes papers, White Tag, Blue Button Mix, and the Bundle of Joy stamp set.
Other Materials: Stamping Inks, Red Cardstock.
Happy Papercrafting!

I decided to make a couple of dozen thank you cards for my sister in law, so she could use them after her baby shower. This one, using GHP paper with Boxer Paper, stamps, and embellishments, is one of my faves so far.

I don't know that much about sports, but I certainly love to watch them when my boys are playing. Boxer has some awesome football papers and embellishments, that it made this page fast and easy. I embellished the Football Brad Buddies with a black sharpie to highlight the words in the brads. For the helmet, I scanned the logo on my son's helmet and shrunk it to fit on the brad. Then using smaller cropped pictures and the brads on blocks, I filled in across the layout.
Boxer supplies: Football Talk paper, Pet Stripe paper (Galloping Horse Productions), Football Brad Buddies (Hot Off the Press), Football ribbon, Woof Texture paper
Additonal Supplies: Sharpie, tan, white and red cardstock, brown ink pad
Until next time, Happy Scrapping!
