MIM #329

Hello! I'm stopping in with a last minute entry for MIM . I pulled out an older stamp (Rosey Posey) , I forgot how great this one is. I opted for a more subtle background color (soft stone) so my flowers would stand out more. This was a great technique, I ended up diecutting the background die from a piece of acetate so I could do this again in the future. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #281

Hello! From wherever I might be... I'm on vacation this week. We are flying by the seat of our pants this year. So as of (when I wrote this ) today we have no plan , just getting in the car and driving. I'm betting that we will see a lighthouse or two . So here is this week's color challenge card..... love these colors together! Why? because they are great for flowers, and you know I love to make flowers. I can't wait to be inspired by your creations. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #280

Hello! I'm back with a fun sketch challenge for CAS Colours and Sketches. When I saw this sketch I thought about doing a watermelon slice right away. I mad another watermelon card (you can find it on Instagram) to practice, couldn't have a goofy looking watermelon for the challenge. I am still in a summer mode with my cards this week. I really should start thinking fall soon... but just not ready yet. I can't wait to be inspired by all that play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #279

Hello! For those of you in the states happy ....that darn racket is almost over day. Not sure where everyone is located , but I'm just outside of Chicago in NW Indiana ( on the map where Indiana and Illinois meet closest to the lake) and fireworks are legal here (insert frowny face) and every night it sounds like a war zone outside. So I'm so looking forward to the 4th being over. I've been holed up in the basement with my little dog , she's shivering under the furnace and I've been crafting. I've been obsessed with this die from SSS lately . It really works will with this week's colors , don't you agree? I'm excited to be inspired by what everyone creates . Thanks for stopping by.

The Holly and the Ivy #32

Hello! I'm re-visiting an old card idea I used some years ago . I changed up the colors, but the basic layout is the same. Do you ever do that? Sometimes I like a layout so much I'll create several cards in various colors . I have lots of friends that enjoy religous cards at Christmas time so I always try to make a few of those too. Thanks for taking time to stop by today.

CC&S #278

Hello! I'm stopping in with a quick share for this week's sketch challenge at CC&S. I am really really last minute with this card and I threw it together with some scraps I had laying on my table .... no joke! I've been in a bit of a mojo slump the last few weeks.Hopefully it reappears soon! Maybe checking out what cute cards everyone else made will help. Off to do just that, thanks for stopping by.

Smell the sea

Hello! I'm stopping in with a share for the CAS Watercolor challenge. Since the theme is Ocean I choose this sentiment from IO , it's one that really speaks to me. I will be sending this card to my cousin , he works in the cruise industry so I always send him sea or boat cards. Quick post tonight as I've just returned home from yoga class and am very sleepy. thanks for stopping by today.
