One more card

Hello! I'm back with one more card for The Ton's tic-tac-toe challenge. I used the same stamp as my last card, but in a different color. I wanted to try this flower in white. I stamped the flower in antique linen and then use a white watercolor over  that . I wanted the lines to show, but not stand out. Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

CC&S 225

Hello, happy tuesday to you. I am happy to have a short week at work, as I'm sure many of you are. We spent the holiday weekend catching up on chores at home, so exciting. I did sneak in some crafting time. I created this for CC&S 225 , a double challenge. I admit I really struggled with this one , but in the end I'm pleased with the outcome. I hope you will join us, see you soon.

Holiday stamping

Hello! I've been very busy this weekend. We stained our fence, cleaned the garage, yard work, cleaned the house, lots of laundry, and I still found time to stamp. YEAH!!! Playing along with The Ton's tic-tac-toe challenge. I chose the bottom row... no-line , non-rectangular card, water color. I am very limited on my stamp selection ( hopefully not for long) so I don't have a lot of sentiments yet. I was thinking about making this a sympathy, as recently I've needed several. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

CC&S 224

Hello, hope your week is going well so far. I am less busy now that my son only has 1 afterschool activity. This leaves my more time to create things. I'm starting on graduation cards , I will need several. I liked this sketch because it works well for this small die I've been wanting to play with. I hope you will join us.

CCC #13

Hello, happy sunday. I'm recovering my a craft show I did yesterday. I sold some of my cards. Being of a few design teams , means I always have more cards than I can use. So when I can I try to sell off my extra stock. This week's Christmas Card Challenge features a die cut wreath. I hope you will play along with us. Now off to soak my feet... I was on them all day yesterday.

CC&S 223

Hello, happy tuesday. Only a few more days until the craft show I'll be at .... getting nervous. I set a goal for myself to take 250 cards to sell , not there yet. I see alot of late nights this week. When I saw this week's colors I thought tone on tone floral right away. I can't wait to see what everyone else came up with. See you soon.

Pin-sights challenge

Hello, I'm finally home and have a chance to share this card for the Classroom's Pin-sights challenge. When I saw the pins this month I knew I wanted to do the hydrangea in purple. I love this stamp , it's so pretty.  I love Pinterest ( kind of an addict 30,000 pins ) , so this is a challenge I will embrace whole heartedly . Well now off to bed, it's been a long day and I need to warm up after standing outside in the cold for a track meet. See you soon.

CC&S 222

Hello, hope your week has started out well. I'm really running around these days. My youngest is in track and baseball , I work 40 plus hours and I'm trying to get ready for a craft show I'll be doing later this month. I chose to flip this week's sketch , I just liked it better this way. I really had a hard time envisioning the end result for this one. Numerous attempts in trash . I am pleased with this one. Now off to make more.

MIM #283

Final card for the day, promise. I created this for a co-workers birthday. Playing along with Papertrey Ink's MIM challenge, water color wash. I watercolored the background paper and then added this gorgeous die cut and a sentiment. Simple, didn't take much time (except for the paper to dry) and I'm pleased with how it turned out.I plan to make a few more using this design and other colors and sentiments. Thanks for stopping by.

Still crafting away

Hello, I've been busy most of the day crafting. Enjoying the quiet time alone after a busy week. I'm playing along and trying out for the design team over at AAA cards. As soon as I saw their inspiration photo I thought of this stamp set. I thought about doing more colorful feathers, but settled on a tone on tone color . It just looked less busy, more clean and simple. Wish me luck! see you soon.

CCC #12

Hello, happy sunday to you. I hope you weekend is going well. I hope to find time to relax.... my youngest has us on the run lately. He is in track at school and a local little league baseball team and they over lap most days. I wish I had the energy my 12yr old does. Today's card is for Christmas Card Challenges. I rarely use my cricit , it collects more dust than anything. I used a Christmas cartridge for the tree and added some ruby slipper nuvo drops for ornaments. I hope you will join us. Now I'm off to take a nap.

Crafty day

Hello, hope your weekend is going well. I'm planning to craft away my day today. I managed to get all my chores done yesterday in between baseball and dinner with friends. I'm working on sympathy cards today. I am always scrambling to make one when I need one, so I'm going to make several today. Palying along with The Ton's monthly challenge , I have gold, stripes and watercolor . Also playing along with CAS Watercolor may challenge Flowers. Have a great day be back soon.

A hint of pink

Good evening, I hope your week went well. I've been out of sorts all day, not sure why. So now that I have a little time to relax I'm going to play along with a few challenges. Starting with the Simon Says Stamp wednesday "hint of pink" challenge. I recently picked up this sentiment stamp and wanted to use it. I going to enjoy a little alone time and create a few more cards, have a good night.

May Challenge

Hello , happy Cinco de Miyo to you. We are celebrating at work today. Big pot luck for lunch... yumm! I'm sharing my DT card for Simply Create Too 's MAy challenge use a digi stamp. This is an image I 've had for while and if you know my aversion to people on cards you'll understand why this is one of the only digi stamps I own. People , especially those faceless ones on cards give me the creeps.... yes I'm weird. I hope you will join us for this challenge.

CC&S 221
