 Hello-

The sun is shining today and I have my window open.  It's almost 80 outside, and about 70 inside. Today is yellow day...I have three cards with yellow; one each for Colorful Options, CAS on Friday, and Day of the Month Club.

First up for Colorful Options, I had to make those SSS crocus' in yellow. Crocus come in several colors including pink, yellow, purple, orange and white.

 

I wanted those blooms to really stand out.

Next up for California Poppy Day at Day of the month club...

This is an older Technique Tuesday stamp. I colored with copics. ITs really a lovely orangey yellow IRL.

And For CAS on Sunday had a sketch. I used some DSP from Stamping up. One bit for the square and the daffodil was cut from another sheet. A few gold bits of bling and that is it.

Below are the graphics for the various challenges.

     

Thanks for visiting.

 

Party

Hey there-

When I saw the theme at Day of the Month Club I knew exactly which stamp set I wanted to use, along with some recently acquired dies.  The theme is Cow Appreciation Day. 

MFT's From the Herd and Stampin Up's Open Range dies came together for this card.  Die cutting and a bit of copic coloring along with a touch of ink blending brought the images together.

Thanks for visiting.

Friend

 Hello -

I have two cards made with the MFT set called Definition of Friendship.  ITs got an adorable image and two fabulous sentiments.  I had my zigs out and did a bit of watercoloring on bristol with heat embossed images.  

The first card will be going to Day of the Month Card Club they are celebrating Best Friend Day.

Thanks so very much for visiting.

Valentines

Hey there-

One more Valentine.

It is going to visit Challenge Up Your Life, Just us Girls and Day of the Month Club.

Thanks for visiting.

So Cool

Hello Again...

Feels good to be back in my crafty space.  I missed it. 

Here is a card for two challenges: Day of the Month Card Club - Ice Cream, and Fusion-Summer.  I rarely use the sketch at Fusion, but this time I used both the photo and the sketch.

An old Simon Says Stamp set Ice Cream Dream, is perfect for both challenges.  Are you eating a lot of Ice Cream this summer?  Hubs and I have been known to drive thru Dairy Queen masks in place to get a box of dilly bars...though hubs favorite ice cream is an ice cream sandwich.

Thanks for stopping by!


  

Pink and Girly

Hello -

Every now and again, I make a very girly card. Its usually pink and has some sort of embellishment to it. Definitely some layers.

This card is visiting the galleries of The Flower Challenge, Just Us Girls, Stamping Sensations(Feminine)  Day of the Month Club ( send a card to a friend; the card has been mailed!)

The gradient strips die is from Altenew, the flowers cut from some patterned paper, the leaves die is from Simon Says stamp and the jewels are from Studio Katia. I thought I had ordered clear, but it was a mix of white and clear.  Happy accident, I love the white gems on this card.

    

Thanks so much for visiting.

Red

Hello-

I have a poinsettia card for you today.  It is very red.  Red blooms on a red card base. Is it too much?

My supplies included copic markers, EH Mondo Poinsettia and Die and Altenew's Dotted Swirls cover plate.

Hope you are all caught up with your holiday activities and are able to spend time with family and friends.

Thank you for visiting.

Happy Holidays

Greetings - 
And Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends.  I didn't make Thanksgiving cards this year.  Just some generic fall and Halloween cards.  I am deep into my Christmas cards. I've determined I need 75 and I have about 18 more to finish.

Die- Mama Elephant, Snowman and sentiment MFT.

To help me with that this morning before I head downstairs to spend my day in the kitchen and living room watching football I was inspired by 3 challenges:

Just Us Girls - Photo Week (Its perfect for a recently acquired Mama Elephant die)
Cupcake Inspiration - Snowmen
Day of the Month Card Club - Look for Circles Day (the trees have small circle cutouts)

   

Thanks so much for visiting.

Happy Fathers Day

Hello-

This year the Dad's get Hawaiian like shirt cards for Father's day.  A friend cut the patterns out and I simply put them together and added an inside sentiment.

Of course my Dad's cats wanted to present him with a card too, so they asked me to put one together.

I am entering the cat card in three challenges :

Day of the Month Club Challenge -Hug your Cat , Watercooler Wednesday,   and   Addicted to CAS - Father.

Thanks for stopping by.

Make a Wish

Hello All~

I'm feeling a bit mojo-less having returned earlier this week from a 2 week visit with my Dad in California.  As I get a bit older I seem to need more time to re-acclimate from traveling.  We returned home in the early hours of Wednesday, and I am still feeling a bit sluggish.

I found three challenges to play in - along with a new stamp set called Dandelion Wishes from CTMH.  I felt the joy of a 7 year old blowing away on a dandelion the moment I saw the stamp set and I knew I had to have it.

I used two slightly different shades of black cardstock, The heat embossed panel has a slight sheen, while the card base is more flat. I thought that might add some dimension to the black on black.

The challenges are: Double D Challenge Black and White,  (new to me) Day of the Month Card Club National Dandelion Day, and Addicted to CAS Contrast.
