CPS 260

 Today I have a card to share that I made for the CPS260 sketch challenge.  I used the stamp set Vintage Postcard set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and Clearsnap chalk ink.  Hope you can join us for this fun sketch this week.

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

Beautiful Birthday

Quick card to share using the STV Kit Springtime Silhouettes.  I paired it with some My Minds Eye patterned paper.  I used the Tim Holtz Distress Stain Wild Honey on the doily, as well as the ribbon.  Love how the stain goes on white ribbon, now I can be even more matchy-matchy, lol!

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

CPS208 ~ Java Time

Any time is "java time" in my book...in fact, thinking of going and brewing a pot right now!  This is for CPS208 which is such a great sketch!!  I am certain I will be using this sketch again and again.  I used Coffee4Two from The {Stamps} of Life which has this fab mug!  The patterned paper is Mabel-Stella Rose from My Mind's Eye.  Love the new paper designs from MME!  

I am also entering this into the Tuesday Trigger over on Moxie Fab.  Love the green/orange in this inspirational piece and incorporated those colors using my patterned paper.  Here is the photo and hope you can play along:

Hoping to get some more stamping done later today, but have two kids sick with colds/ear infections/sinusitis.  I took them in to see the doctor today and both got put on antibiotics so hopefully with that and a big pot of chicken noodle soup they will get on the mend soon!   That is enough whining...onward and upward, right! :o) 

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

 Card Patterns has a fabulous sketch this week and I immediately thought of using Warbler from Layers of Color for the focal image. The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye called Stella Rose Hazel.. love that MME now comes in 6x6 pads!  It is obviously on a much smaller scale and perfect for card making.  The flower on this card is from Tim Holtz idea-ology Trimmings and so awesome that I can color the individual flowers myself using Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Spun Sugar.   Amazing new product...I actually saw Tim at CHA and was wowed by this product.   Funny little tidbit...my dear friend Janice said everyone was at the table with their mouth hanging open mesmerized...yep me included!!  I only bought a few colors of stain...not the whole set so am quite pleased with my self-restraint!!  Here is a pic of Tim with Janice, Deb and I.... 

This card also fits the following challenges: Alphabet Challenge: R is for Ribbon, Stampin' for the Weekend: Spring Theme, Craft Us Crazy: Nature Theme, Simply Create: Power of Flowers, Fab n' Funky Challenges: Spring into Action,  Bunny Zoe's Crafts: Sping...Flowers Everywhere, and By the Cute and Girly: Springtime.

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