Hello

Hello ! I'm stopping in with a quick share for the Color Throwdown weekly challenge. I recently picked up this fabulous stamp from a de-stash. I need to do that one day, but I can't bear to part with any of my stamps. I'm sure they'll take over one day, but that's ok with me. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello! I'm back to share another card for the Christmas Card Challenge. When I saw the inspiration image I immediately thought of using the tree image from the Tim Holtz stamptember holiday set. It is perfect! I stamped the image, embossed it, then smooshed some distress ink over my paper. I plan to make a few more like this in different colors. Thanks for visiting me, see you soon.

My boys are getting older now and don't want to ride their bikes anymore. I plan to have hubby ride our tandum bike with me. I'm sharing my DT  card for CC&S 's color challenge. For those of you that have been following me for awhile knew I'd use some kind of watercoloring. I hope you will play along with us.

Pin-sights challenge

Hello,  I'm still crafting away my day. I feel very productive today. I wanted to play along with The Classroom's Pin-sight challenge ,but thought I ran out of time. Happily there are just a few days left. I took my inspiration  from the cake image . I am not too good at marbling with watercolor... I need work on that. I die cut the Essentials by Ellen Hello sentiment from some shiny gold paper to complete the look. Thanks for visiting.

Happy Sunday

Hello, Happy Sunday to you. I started my day with some relaxing yoga at the lake , only I got there late and had to be in the super sunny spot. I'm very fair, so I turned a little pink. I am going to play in my craft area for awhile today . I recently bought this floral stamp (the ton ) and wanted to water color it an orange tone, then I noticed this week's colors at color throwdown and decided to play along. Thanks for stopping by.

CCC #16

Hello, happy sunday to you. I'm enjoying a long weekend, not much planned . Sometimes just being able to relax is enough for me. I'm stopping in to share a card for the Christmas Card Challenge . I used an older stamp/die set from Hero Arts. I fuzzy cut it out, because the die left too much white around the edge for the look I was going for. I watercolored the background with some distress ink and used a distress marker and a waterbrush to color the ornaments. Thanks for stopping by.

saturday stamping

Hello ! I'm enjoying some stamping time today. My oldest son wanted to have friends over last night, so he cleaned the house before and cleaned up after the friends left. So I have lots of free time today. I am playing along with the AAA words have power challenge. I'm completely out of birthday cards so that is what I'll be making for a few weeks. I went for a more masculine look for this card. Thanks for stopping by.
