Simply Create #125


Hello, I hope you are doing well. We have been having some crazy weather here in the Chicago area... unusually warm, thunderstorms, tornados, and now snow. Thankfully we have not had any damage here. I'm sharing my card for the Simply Create Too challenge #125 "lots of green " , I think I did good... It's almost all green. I hope you will play along.

CC&S #212

Hello, I'm here with another fun sketch challenge for CC&S. I wanted to make a fun floral card when I saw this sketch. I love this SSS stamp, I worked perfectly for this sketch. I used distress inks in picked raspberry, worn lipstick , spun sugar, and mowed lawn to watercolor the flowers and leaves. I stamped a tone on tone word background, but it hasn't really photographed well. I hope you will join us for this challenge.

58fc33a4b2196b3d687ab65298a29cb9
Hello, popping in with a card to share for the Classroom's february pin sights challenge. I loved the aqua color and wanted to give it a try. I used the mondo hydrangea stamp /die and the hello sentiment from Essentials by Ellen. I die cut the sentiment multiple times and layered it . I really love this stamp, I've made several cards with it already. I hope to buy a few more of the floral stamps/dies soon. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.

Sending you lots of love


Hello, I am trying to sneak in a little crafty time. Who am I kidding? It's been hours , I even managed to get hubby to make dinner and kids to do the dishes. I recently purchased this fabulous floral stamp from a de-stash... I had not heard of The Ton ....I was living under a rock.... Boy was I missing out. I promptly checked out their site and made a wishlist , then I found the challenge.. I am very limited on supplies as this floral set is all I have right now. Thanks for stopping by, you will see me again .

I like the challenge oftrying to find a way to make it Christmasy . I watercolored my striped background using hickory smoke distress ink, and the die cut sentiment is from SSS. I hope you will play along with us.
