Happy Sunday...hoping you are all having a wonderful weekend. Easter Break is now over so back to work tomorrow. I have had a fabulous weekend so far, I spent yesterday with 50 other crafty ladies, most scrapbookers at a 12 hour event. Needless to say I did not get much of anything done but I had a blast, spent most of my time visiting with friends and laughing, lots and lots of laughing.
My first card is for the current challenge at
Fusion #8, love the look of chevrons and have been trying very hard to use the stamps I have on hand, so this set would qualify as a NBUS from MFT and was fun to use! It is always fun to go through what you have and find so many great stamps you forgot about. My second card is for this week's
Papertrey Ink's MIM - Watercolor Splats. My new daubers finally arrived and wow, they worked like a charm, so fun! Thank you so much for taking time to stop by...enjoy your week!

What a fun event that must have been. So many crafty supplies and friends all in one place. I love both of your cards so much. Fabulous use of those chevrons from MFT--I completely forgot about that set--eek. And, I really love your MIM card--such a rich bunch of colors beautifully blended together.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim - looks like you had a LOT of FUN!!! Love that chevron card - I always fall for colors! The second card is interesting - I have not had much success with that technique - perhaps I try it again, after seeing yours.
ReplyDeleteSorry for not having been here is a while - was on vacation and had a lot of fun, too :)
Awesome MIM, Kim, but I'm really aswoon over that gorgeous chevron number!! Love it!! So happy for you to have all those hours of crafty fun with friends! I hope work goes well. Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLooks like this was a fun event Kim!! Terrific cards today, love the colorful chevrons!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend a Saturday! Both cards are fantastic! Love the chevrons and your MIM card looks awesome. Love those colors!
ReplyDeleteKim, your cards are beautiful! I especially love your chevron card - so bright and cheery! I would be like you with 12 hours in the company of other stampers - I'd be lucky to get one card made (I'm much more productive by myself, lol!) Thanks for joining us at Fusion!
ReplyDeleteBoth fantastic - love the airiness of the first and the rich colour of the second!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun day! I love your fantatsic 'winning' Fusion with the MFT stamps I now need! Your MIM splats are just perfect!
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful cards but the chevron one is fabulous! Looks like a fun crafty weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy and FUN weekend you have had Kim...love both of your cards...the chevrons will probably be something you use a lot now that you have broken them in! I also really love that watercolor card...something I have yet to try, but what I am really jealous of is your fun weekend with all those crafty friends!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see the pictures of your fun day, Kim! These are both brilliant ... love the open, light feel to the chevrons with the fab bold black hello ... the second is awesome ... amazing vibrant colours and perfect splatting! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWOW, nicely done on the Fusion card. You captured the inspiration photo perfectly Kim!
ReplyDeleteOh this looks like so much fun Kim! Great pictures! Love the chevron card,wow! Your water splat card turned out great ! Love the sequins.
ReplyDeleteTwelve hours with crafty friends = dream time! Great photos of fun times! Your cards are, again, stunning! I have some chevron stamps, still NBUS - so I think, with your card as inspiration, I may have to give them some inky-love! And your splatter card: perfect! I'm lousy with anything water-themed, but soooo enjoy seeing what others create. You've worked magic! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteTwelve hours of crafting, what heaven!! I love the chevrons, they look great in the different colours and look so striking, yet simple....brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a rocking good time there Kim! It's always SO fun to get together as a group of scrapers or stampers! Two bright and wonderful designs on your cards - love the pop of the chevrons and the wonderful deep color on the splatter card!
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun.....fellowship & crafting! Life is great! Awesome card - flawlessly stamped and so deliciously vibrant! The pops of black really showcase the chevrons!
ReplyDeleteI must apologize for my commenting lapse...I have just discovered that posts from the majority of the blogs that I follow have not been making it through to my mailbox. Grrrrr! I am going to re-subscribe with an alternate e-mail...hopefully it works!
Looks like a fun event--hoping I can get to one before too long. I love your cards--2 winners!
ReplyDeleteOMG! 12 hr of crafting time with a group of crafty girls is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove both your cards, but the first one with colorful chevrons is my favorite! :)
Thanks for playing with us at fusion! :)
Love the chevron rainbow Kim! I don't get much done at a crop, but it is always fun to catch up with friends and play with their things.
