Hello....last week I spent time crafting with Joyce from Cards By The Sea in her beautiful home and simply amazing craft room. Honestly I always feel like a kid in a candy store with all of her supplies, it is always so much fun to play with stamps and dies I don't have. I made 20 cards fronts in 3 days of crafting, eating, chatting and even an incredible walk on the beach! On Tuesday Joyce invite Jacquie from What I did Today to spend the day crafting with us and she brought lots of stamps to share too! We had a blast, Jacquie is as sweet as can be, it was such an honor to meet this talented lady.
I made this card for last week's MIM at Papertrey Ink but did not get it posted in time. I love Gran's Garden stamps, they are beautiful in pretty much any color combination.
This card is for this week's Make It Monday #332 - Petite Pattern Play. I pulled out Happy Haunting stamps, thought all of the spooky eyes would look perfect for a Halloween card.
My final card for this post is one I made with Jacquie and Joyce using these fabulous drink stamps from MFT. I found some inspiration on google and changed it up a bit. This set was so much fun to play with, thanks Jacquie! I am entering this card in the current challenge over that Time Out #115 - Food and Drink.
All of these cards are fantastic. I really love that googlie eyed ghost monster with all those fun Halloween images. And, what is cuter to drink than a stamped martini glass. Fantastic sentiment, too. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.

ReplyDeleteI wish I had been there to hang out with you girls but I am really so very happy that you got together and had so much fun!

Love your pretty MIM, the fun googley eyedmghost and martini--yes please!

Your martini card is amazing, I love the colors you chose and the style of the stamps combined to these colors give this card a fun retro look. Am really admiring this card!

ReplyDeleteIt would be so much fun to craft with friends, I've never done it so will have to love vicariously thru your crafting visits with friends!!

ReplyDeleteKim, your Gran’s Garden card is SO pretty! ~Francie
ReplyDelete3 fabulous makes. The flower card is so beautiful, I like the background with trellis and the flower and tag ensemble. The ghost is so cute and with all those eyes the card gets more spooky but in a sweet way. The martini glass card is perfect for a man.
ReplyDeletecongrats Kim for getting honours at Time Out-see blog for details x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Kim, I can't imagine making 20 card fronts just like that. I'm sure it was fun using 'new to you' stamps. They all look wonderful.
