Hello

I stamped quite a few cards over the weekend using this color palette and noticed I didn't have as many scraps as normal which is a good thing...maybe I should start stamping in groups of cards :o) I stamped the flower image from Eclectic Summer with Memento, paper pieced the pot and colored the flowers with my Copics. I wanted some pearl bling to match up with the sage green, but didn't have any.... but then I spied my Copics and thought I would try coloring some white pearls to match and that really did the trick!!! Yes, Linda...I know it is matchy~matchy :o)

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Lots of Pink!

Do you think this has too much pink? I am a girly girl (who loves pink) and kind of got carried away... (but I like it). I used Nina's set Lovely Shelf and the sentiment is a favorite of mine from Autumn Leaves and just perfect for a *thinking of you* type of card! I used the new Innocent Pink cardstock and love how it is a perfect match for the dots in the patterned paper!

Well, insomnia hit again and I am up way too late!

And OLGA, Happy Birthday!!!!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a wonderful day!

Green Tree Silhouettes

I just love the trees in Tree Silhouettes, it is definitely one of my favorite stamp sets of all time. It is not only perfect for cards, but on scrapbook pages featuring our family hikes....(and with autumn coming we will be going soon, I just love hiking amongst all of the beautiful colors of fall). I thought I would pull it out again to create a card using lots of Green for a Waltzingmouse challenge... and hey, a random winner will win all of her to soon-to-be released stamp sets and they look AWESOME!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Blessings,

Hello Friend and Blog Candy Winner

A challenge last week on STV was to CASE a DT member from Gina K. Designs. I CASE'd a card made by the uber talented Donna Baker and I changed the color and stamp to make this card. I even kept the sentiment the same, but used different stamps. You can find the original card HERE and see exactly where I got the beautiful inspiration.

I used the beautiful new Pure Luxury Green Apple cardstock from GKD and the leaf stamp from the Signs of Autumn Stamp TV kit.  Just love that big leaf...It was stamped using Memento Pear Tart ink.  The sentiment is from Autumn Leaves.

Well it is time to announce the winner from my blog candy.... And the winner is:

For those US citizens, hope you have a great Labor Day doing something you enjoy!

My Friend

I have had a busy few days with a smidgen of a stupid accident that left me with 6 stitches. :o)  So NOT good!  I am just fine, but am inconvenienced with a sore left thumb....so bow making will not be accomplished for a bit, hee~hee!

I made this card using Inspiration Mosaic and clear embossed the leaves (from Autumn Leaves) using Versamark.  Afterwards the panel was brayered with an autumn colored spectrum pad.   A nice wow effect with little effort.  I am so looking forward to cooler temperatures and seeing the leaves change colors...fall is my favorite time of the year!

Well, before I go I have a sneak peek of the card I made for the Sketch Girls Challenge.  Leigh Ann came up with another great sketch that had me stretching my creativity.  I made this card twice..the first one didn't quite fit so I tried it again and came up with this one....which you will see in its entirety on the 31st! :o)

Have a wonderful day!!!

Crayon Resist Butterfly

I haven't made a card with the Crayon Resist Technique in a while so when I saw that was the challenge for this week on StampTV, I knew I had to try it again.  I am a huge fan of easy techniques, especially not knowing exactly how long I have to create (due to my little one's nap) and this was perfect!  In fact, I created two cards during his nap time and will share the other one another time.

I used one of the butterflies from Take Flight as well as some sprigs from Tropical Flowers.  I found some retired Basic Grey paper that I knew would match up fairly nicely with the retired SU colors Soft Sky and Blue Bayou so was thankful to find it.  I have noticed I don't have a lot of blue designer paper...how can that be?  I will have to remedy that soon!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
