Hello! I'm back with my 1st DT card for the new year. This is for CAS Clours and Sketches  sketch challenge . I am thinking Valentine's day after all those Christmas cards I made. I am tired of red and green, I needed something different. This is a stamp set from Neat and Tangled, I had it on my wish list FOREVER . I think this sketch is going to be a popular one as it works well with lots of different images. I hope you will join us.... be back soon.

CASology Encouage

Hello! I'm back with a card to share for the CASology challenge "Encourage". This is a new challenge to me, looks fun so I will play along again soon. I used the altenew painted rose stamp set, my mom got me for Christmas. Since it's a new stamp I'm also playing along with SSS wednesday "Something New" challenge . I am enjoying a day off from work today, plan to pack up Christmas and craft away my day. Thanks for visiting my blog today, have a fabulous day.

HLS January challenge

Hello, I'm working hard at my goal to play along in more blog challenges this year. I came across this fun challenge @ HLS watercolor with sequins. I thought of a New Years card right away, sequins seem like confetti. I used some Gansai starry watercolors for the background, die cut  numbers and added the sequins. I've got someone in mind to send it to. Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Monday #271

Hello! My 1st official challenge of the New Year! I created this for the Merry Monday embossing challenge. I set a goal for myself to play along with a least 1 blog challenge a week....This is a fairly new one for me. I used a sentiment from Neat and Tangled , embossed with WOW gold pearl embossing powder, and I used some distress inks and distress oxides for the background, then I splattered a bit of white for a galaxy look. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

Hello happy Tuesday to you. I can hardly believe it's less than 2 weeks until Christmas. I asked for crafty gifts (tools and stamps) this year. It makes me happy and I have so my items on my wish lists ( SSS 368 , Ellen Huston 294, The Ton 53, PTI 319 clearly I like making wish lists) so there is plenty for hubby to pick from, LOL!! This challenge we were asked to revisit a previous sketch and make it Seasonal. I chose (yet again one of mine from November) #251 . I love revisiting previous color/sketch challenges. Once I've seen what other people come up with it inspires me so much. I hope you will play along with us so I may be inspired by you.

Hello! I'm running on fumes this week... Anyone else know that feeling? I agreed to do another craft show, so I'm burning the midnight oil to be ready. I've been very successful recently with my card sales. This has left me with a low supply. YIKES! So mass production it is . My son's basketball games and school band concert in the mix this week isn't helping either, then there is that job thing , oh and throw in a mortgage closing on friday at 7pm (just a refinance for better rate) ....who is tried for me? So with all that going on I didn't have time to look through all the previous color challenges from this year to pick one out, so I used one from my month I hosted. #248. I love these colors and wasn't thrilled with my original card anyway. I hope you will play along with us. Be back soon.

Hello ! I'm back with my last sketch challenge card for my hosting month. I hope everyone liked what I came up with. I wanted a rainbow card somewhere in the mix this month, but not to busy.. remember we are a CAS challenge after all. I watercolored a rainbow panel, cut out the center( used for another card) added a die cut sentiment and some nuvo drops. I love rainbow cards, but don't make a lot of them. I hope you will play along with us. See you soon.
