CARDS Magazine publications: May Issue

I'm a few days late, but I can now share my cards from the May issue of CARDS magazine with you!  This was the first month I had multiple cards published, I'm always honored and thrilled whenever I get anything picked up!  A couple fun little notes:  you'll notice the same yellow patterned paper from Momenta in all three cards and the first two cards were also used as sneak peek pictures in the Table of Contents section (a double honor if you ask me :))

This first card was part of a style challenge using the colors turquoise, pink, and yellow.  You also had to use flowers....I don't think I realized until now just how many flowers I used!  It combines supplies from most of my favorite companies: Bella Blvd, Momenta, American Crafts, Jillibean Soup, Echo Park, The Twinery, and Little Yellow Bicycle   The giant pink flower is actually a coaster from the dollar store, Erin sent it to me to use for a Frugal Finds feature on Practical Scrappers.

This is a more artsy card than the last one...but I like the way the colors still came together.  It was for the "Girls Night Out" category.  It uses supplies from Momenta, American Crafts, Prima, The Twinery, and Die Cuts with a View

  
This last one is a Birthday card and is almost exclusively Momenta.  The ribbon, little yellow flower, and turquoise cardstock aren't Momenta but everything else is!  I actually started this card about six months earlier and couldn't get into it and then finished it...guess it just needed to marinate!

Just sent off submissions for this month about a week ago so we'll see if I get anything picked up for the November issue soon!
