... or maybe some bright color and pattern ? I definitely need color as it's gray and rainy here but wait! The grass is getting greener everyday ... woo hoo ! My card today is for WT 263 which is to CELEBRATE . I had a fun time with a friend shopping in another city yesterday for stamps and goodies and boy, did we find some good stuff ! This little snapper is from Inky Antics and was colored up with Copics and watercolor pencils. I have paper pieced his balloon . DP is from Cosmo Cricket's Early Bird. The image was cut out with a large pinking circle Nestie. Buttons are from Basic Grey. Have a good day everyone ! And thanks for popping in ! Hugs !
Hi Friends:We are back from a lovely and fun wedding in Oklahoma and I am playing catch up and just wanting a nap instead. Thought I would post an older card to change up the "front page" for the moment. I have several card parts that are nearly finished and will have another post very soon. Thanks for stopping by !
Hi dear friends ! No card for you today as we are traveling to a wedding but will be back on Tuesday with a post. Have a super weekend !
A good morning to you !I have been so delighted to continue playing in Our Daily Bread 's Anniversary Challenges this week. Today's card challenge is to use your all time favorite . I love all their stamps but I tell ya... I love those Scripture Collections ! I love having a verse " front and center" to send and encourage with just a few embellishments and some beautiful paper. So here's my card... using Lamentations 3: 21-23. The dp, by American Crafts , is much more beautiful IRL. I have used metal dots for the corners of the verse panel which was scored with my Scor Pal , grosgrain ribbon and a big button and really there wasn't much more to it than that. I'm off to our monthly stamping day. Sure to be fun and GREEN with lots of St Patricks Day touches . Have a great day! See you back here hopefully tomorrow. Hugs !
Good Monday morning, fellow stampers ! Hope you had a great weekend ! Mine was busy but good . Today I am posting two cards to complete three challenges I wanted to play. I love a good challenge and these have been so much fun . Flourishes has a new blog look and they are celebrating with daily challenges which end today so check them out if you are looking for a couple good ones. My first card is for Flourishes Day 5 which is to use pink and green . Now...someone kick me ! I LOVVVVE pink and green ... together ! In clothes, on paper, in home decor , in gardens ... well, you get the idea ! Lilly Pulitzer made famous this color combo years ago in her resort wear collection and it's still a hit today . 
Now my card isn't quite what I visualized but I did use Flourishes Sweet Pea set and the color combo. Don't you love that bright , Springy pop of color ?
My next card is for Flourishes Day 4 which is to use " sparkle" and for Our Daily Bread Anniversary Challenge Day 3 challenge which is to use silver or gold . We have my nephews wedding this weekend and the color and simplicity is for them . I have used the I Love Roses set from Flourishes and embossed the base in silver. Silver trim, a button and some gems round it off.
So what do you think ? I have a couple sketches I want to try today so we will see if I can squeeze some time in the stamp room .
Thanks for stopping by ... I so appreciate your comments and I love visiting your blogs ! Hugs !
Good Sunday morning, friends :This will be quick as I'm off to worship and then to visit Dad for the day . Today's challenge at ODBD's second anniversary celebration is to be inspired by CHINA. Just a couple days before getting the challenges on the site, my DF gave me some halves of dp she had recently purchased and oh, boy, what beauties ! I love , love this one ! And perfect ! It's the color of my very own china pattern. I was thinking literally when I made this card ... edges of the dinner plate, silver touches for the " platinum"and a lace bow to resemble a luxurious tablecloth ! Deets below. Hope you get to play the challenges . Have a nice Sunday wherever you are . Thanks so much for all your sweet comments . You bloggers are just the BEST !
