THAIC #99

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I recently picked up this card kit from Taylored Expressions and have being wanting to use it . I started with some traditional colors, I'll play with some non-traditional colors next. This is definatly one that could be mass produced easily. Thanks for stopping in today.

Hello! I hope you all are doing well . I've been a bit stressed about work lately. The office I work at announced their plans to close in the next few months, add that to an already stressful workplace and you have a recipe for disaster. Last week I resigned, so after 29 years in eyecare I will be finished this week. I accepted a position much closer to home as a surgery scheduler ( I currently schedule retina surgeries ) at a local hospital. So prayers for a better work environment would be appreciated. So now to the card... I'm over summer, so Halloween it is . Dies are from memory box. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello! We are back from a little break. I hope everyone is doing well. Lots of entries last challenge, that means lots of you are ahead on your Christmas cards. I know I was trying to not use traditional colors, but the die with the plaid... swoon. Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting.

Hello! I'm back with a fun twist on this week's sketch , I flipped the sketch to fit the butterfly image better. I stamped the butterfly and embossed it in black, then used a couple Zig water color makers and spritzed with water. I used the same Zig markers for the background stripes and spritzed with water and let the ink flow around a bit. We just returned from a relaxing vacation , 3 national parks in 6 days. We went to the Mammoth Caves, Smokey Mountain and Shenandoah national parks. When we returned it looked like my garden exploded, the new drip system we put in and the hot days while we were gone made things double in size. 

 Thanks for stopping by today, have a wonderful day.

 Hello! I hope you all are doing well. I've been busy wedding my garden  after a week of rain. The colors this week  were certainly fun to play with, I had to stop myself from making a flower card/.Stay well friends and I'll see you next week.

Hello! I hope you are all doing well. I've been trying to catch up on my garden weeding between the rain we have been having and work. I tried a lot of new flowers this year and am pleased with how most of it is coming along. It's been so gloomy here this week I felt like making something really colorful to brighten my day.

 Hello! I know it's the 6th of July, but this week's colors said fall to me. I've had this die floating around my desk for months waiting to use it. I think these colors worked out perfectly. I hope everyone had a safe a happy 4th , we stayed home and enjoyed the neighborhood fireworks and fire... yep one of the new neighbors ( moved in from another state where fireworks aren't legal) got a bit carried away with celebrating and burned his garage with the car in it to the ground, was able to see most of that safely from a lawn chair on my own yard. It was notably quiet the next night... hmm? Sorry if that sounds mean, I don't enjoy fireworks and work in a field where I've seen more than my fair share of eye injuries due to fireworks, I'd be ok if they were illegal. Thanks for stopping by today.
