Hello! I'm back again with a card to share for this week's sketch challenge. I just recently picked up this stamp ( Kind Soul -Wplus 9) and wanted to use it for this sketch , the die is Pretty Pink Posh.  I like making Thank You's because I always use them the most. I've been trying to do some sort of purge to my craft supplies, so I have way more than I have room for. Hopefully I'll be able to part with some. Thanks for stopping in today.

Hello! I'm popping in to share my card for this week's color challenge at CAS Colour and Sketches. I spent a few days pouring over my stamp collection (yep that's how I refer to the vast amounts of stamps I own) to find just the right one for these colors. I ended up using the same stamp set I used last week, SSS Showers and Flowers. It might be my new favorite! This was a lot of fun to watercolor. I did do a very light tan wash around the image to make it pop a bit more. I've been purging things in my house the last few weeks and I know I should hit my craft area, but it truly pains me to part with any of my stamps. I love them all! So stay tuned if I can actually do it, it really needs a good purge or maybe I'll just take over more of our basement? we don't really need a laundry room do we?

Anything goes

Hello! Hope you day is going well. It's my "friday" so I'm thrilled to have a 3 day weekend to craft and relax. Lots of recent home improvement projects have left me with a well organized and nice clean house, YEAH! So I plan to make some cards for a few challenges and maybe binge watch something on netflix. I am playing along with the SSS Wednesday challenge today. I love this tree stamp !! I made a bunch of these for my coworker who loves all tree things and the color green. I'm happy to report she LOVED them. I hope to make a few different versions of this card. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm finally down to the end of my home remodeling projects , YEAH!!! I'm now able to craft some more! I created 2 cards for this challenge, because I LOVED this stamp and wanted to try it outlined stamped and no-line coloring. This week's sketch was a great one I can see myself using it again real soon. I sure hope you will join in the fun, I love to see what everyone else comes up with. Be back soon.

Hello! It's been a very eventful last week here, not all good.  We are still mid remodel in the basement( yikes the dust) , working, and unfortunately I had to replace my car. I took it in for a recall on the air bags and the dealership shattered the screen to the navigation, rendering it as well as several other things un-usable. Long story  short it, the replacement was as much as the value of the car, dealership took good care of me , so I upgraded. I did end up with the car I've wanted for a long time, so I guess that is good. I'm sharing this fun card for this week's color challenge over at CAS Colours and Sketches. I long for warmer weather as It's currently snowing a lot , but in 2 days it's supposed to be 62 degrees... Chicago weather, go figure. I can't wait to see what fun cards you all will made this week. Be back soon.

Hello! Happy Tuesday! Since it's the day before Valentine's day I made my card a Valentine. I have been so busy with home remodeling this last week I almost forgot to share my card. OOPS! We repainted our living room, new furniture and rug, no on to the basement family room. Hubby is ripping out old carpet and putting in? , he hasn't made up his mind yet. So I've hardly had time for cardmaking (frowny face) . It will be all finished soon enough and then I'll have time again. I opted for some ink blending hearts for the striped background, I couldn't get mine straight (i threw a lot of attempts in trash) , some die cut hearts and a simple sentiment. Now back to work, see you soon.

Hello! I'm back with another card to share for CAS Colours and Sketches challenge. This week's colors were alot of fun to play with, I thought floral right away and expect lots of florals for those playing along. I used the painted rose stamp set from Altenew, I previously used this set in another challenge in a different color and I knew I would find another use for it soon. Thanks for visiting my blog today, have a great day.
