CC&S #309

Hello! I'm back with the 2nd color challenge for CC&S. I picked colors that have a warm spring feel as I'm longing for warm weather and sunshine. I live just outside of Chicago in NW Indiana , so right now I'm wanting sunny days and flowers. For my card I used a layering die from Altenew , I love this die and have used it in previous challenges. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with, so play along with us. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I'm back with a sketch challenge . I wanted to create something that would work as  a Valentine as it is just a few days away, but feel free to use whatever shapes you like. I think this would also work with a large floral image with smaller florals or butterflies. I can't wait to see what everyone come up with. Thanks for stopping in today.

CC&S #307

Hello! It's the 1st Tuesday in February and that means a new hostess (ME) and a new challenge at CC&S. I chose colors that lend themselves to Valentine cards, as the day is quickly approaching. While I don't send out many Valentine cards myself, I do sell plenty at work and the couple shops I have cards in. I"m looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with. I love being inspired by all of you. Thanks for visiting.

Hello! I'm back for our double challenge. I struggled some with this ketch , but I think it worked out in the end. I've been working on "tidying up"here, so its kept me very busy. My goal is to be more organized by spring and then tackle the garage (AKA the dumping ground). It's been a busy month for me , so hopefully things will calm down in February. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. We have had lots of snow recently here, so lots of shoveling happening here lately. I have enjoyed some extra crafty time as it's not great weather for going out. I made several versions of this card before I came up with this version. I've needed several baby cards recently, so that is what I went with today. Thanks for stopping by today.

CC&S #304

Hello! I'm back with a fun card to share for this week's color challenge. I wanted to make this a Valentine card as it's coming up and I thought the addition of the blue would make a great card for a guy. I always struggle with cards for men, but I'm working on that this year. Must think outside the box sometimes.Last week's cards were fantastic, I can't wait to see what this week brings. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting.

The Holly and Ivy #43

Hello! Happy New Year! I'm sharing my 1st card of the new year for The Holly and Ivy challenge, it's an anything goes challenge. So begins another year where I'll be trying to get ahead on my holiday cards. Last year I thought I had a great head start, then my friends and coworkers cleaned me out and I was 12/15 making my own cards to send out. This one was a lot of work, not one I'd mass produce. All those tiny bits to add to the snowman was time consuming. Thanks for stopping by today.
