Happy Memorial Day


I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day today. Our day was very quiet and Dwight did some BBQ'ing for dinner, so yummy!  I took some time to day to get a few more cards made, 2 of which I am posting here.  The first card is for this week's Muse Challenge #19.  Michelle's inspiration card is just beautiful so I decided to make one just like it.  I did not have any sweet bird stamps so I added a bit of bling in the centers of some of my flowers.

My second card is for this week's Merry Monday #64...I love getting a bit ahead in making my Christmas cards and this weekly challenge is wonderful for that.  I love using jingle bells on my cards too, it drives my daughter nuts because she worries how they will get mailed...too fuuny! Thank you so much for stopping by to peek at my cards....have a fabulous week!

  6. Look at you...already seeing a holiday card in sketches and I love this one, that girl on a sled is one of my favorite Christmas images. Love your card with all those flowers and the great sentiment. Your flowers are scattered perfectly around them.

  8. I think your version is slightly less folk-art and slightly more modern, but it definitely has a similar feel! Thanks for playing along!

    Also love your Christmas card - I love that you'll hear a jolly jingle every time you pick it up!

  15. Your MUSE card is just gorgeous. What a beautiful way to frame that subway stamp. Your colors and placement are just perfect. And, what a burst of refreshingly cool air your sledding boy card is. Very smart of you to be making holiday cards all year long, and you really took that sketch and ran with it.

  17. Both great cards, Kim! Your CASE for the MUSE challenge is another "spot on" card! You have this CASEing thing down to a science. I consider it a real art to be able to do that well and you do it extremely well!

  22. Fabulous job CASing Michelle's card. I totally agree with Ardyth...your card definitely has a more modern, trendy feel to it. Beautifully stamped!!!

    Love the fun winter scene that you have created....I can almost feel the frost bite on my cheeks....and the sore bones from tumbling off the sled at 1000 miles per hour!!!
