April challenge

Hello, Happy Easter to you all. I'm enjoying a little quiet time before heading to my sister's for dinner.  I'm taking a few minutes to craft today. I am playing along with The Ton Stamps anything goes challenge. I hope to make a few more cards for this challenge beofer the month is over, they have a great prize.... $ towards their stamps. I could use a few more or all of them. Be back soon.

Hello, everyone happy Tuesday to you. I am loving the galaxy watercolored background trend right now. I recently picked up this stamp set from an instagram de-stash , the sentiment is perfect for galaxy backgrounds. This is my DT card for this week's sketch at CAS colours and skteches, I flipped the sketch . I'm really happy with how it turned out.  I hope you'll play along with us.

Hello, happy sunday to you. I hope you are having a nice relaxing weekend. My boys are finished with the chess season for this year, so I should have more free time. I've been hard at work on my holiday cards, I should have plenty by Thanksgiving. This week's challenge at Christmas Card Challenges is based on the photo of a gingerbread house. I have had this stamp set for awhile and have yet to ink it up. I chose to go for the same feel as the inspiration photo. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello, Happy Tuesday to you all. I'm stopping in to share my card for this week's color challenge @ CAS Colours and Sketches.  I saw the colors and thought of purple flowers. I love hydrangeas so this stamp will be seen quite a bit. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this week. Also playing along with Addicted to Stamps "anything goes" challenge.See you soon.

Hello, happy tuesday to you. I can't believe march is almost over.... time flies. For this week's sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches I tried a new (to me) technique . I made my background using watercolor paper and various nail polishes. I saw this technique recently and wanted to give it a go. I added the nail polish to a pan off water (use pan you won't put food in) dipped the paper in and then let dry. The drying took a long time, so left mine overnight. I flipped the sketch . I hope you will join us.

CCC #9

Hello, happy you stopped in. This week the theme at Christmas Card Challenges is 'Mittens" I sure could use them today. We suddenly went from no snow most of the winter to several days of snow in a row. I used a spellbinders die for the mittens and several scrap pieces of paper for the rest of the card. I've challenged myself to only use scrap pieces of paper this month (expect card bases) . I hope to put a large dent in my huge pile. Thanks for stopping by.

March Pin-sights

Hello, it's been a really busy week. My work week was nuts, lots of overtime this week. And today I got to spend 9 hours at the Indiana state chess finals (thankfully our town hosted ) , so I'll be up de-stressing... err making cards. Anyone else find that crafting is stress relieving? I am playing along with the Classroom's pin-sights challenge. I took my inspiration from the hydrangeas in the bottom row of photos. Thanks for visiting.  Off to color something.
