2 cards for Saturday and a Giant's game too...


What a fabulous day! My sweet daughter took me to a San Francisco Giant's game today, it was my Mother's Day gift and we had an amazing day. And to make the day even more special, it was Dave Dravecky Day, what an amazing man and ball player, so inspiring.  And all the old Giant's players were there too, so many wonderful memories of games from back in the 1980's and so many tear jerking stories too, I thought there was no crying in baseball??? So thank you again Ashleigh, I had the time of my life!


Now on to my cards...2 of them for the same challenge. I fell in love with this week's colors at ColourQ Challenge #249, so I could not stop at one. My first card is using a NBUS that I won from The Alley Ways Stamps, Mrs. Rogers Neighborhood, their stamps are very whimsical and fun. While looking around their site for some inspiration I found that they added cut files for most of their stamp sets, so much more affordable too...a $1.50 for cut files for an entire stamp set!


My second card is using a wonderful set from Verve...Poppy Birthday and I took some inspiration from Joyce's card at Cards-By-The-Sea and you can see her card here. Thank you so much for stopping by to peek at my cards...enjoy the rest of your weekend!

  4. Such cute images for your welcome home card, they've got a cute childish feel to them and I like how you used different colors for outlining. Your second card has a more modern and grownup look, those different colored circles look great!

  8. Sounds like you had a fabulous day with your daughter! Nothing like mommy-daughter time!

    Grand Slam with these two cards! Your wee neighborhood scene is sooooo cute AND I did not know that TAWS has cut files (where have I been?). Awesome colors on your celebrate card! The 'poppies' are marvelous!

  10. Oh what an awesome Mother's Day gift!! Really LOVE your use of washi tape on the first card (what a fun yellow road instead of the expected black!!) and the swirls are just too fun on your last card. A good match for that swirly font!

  13. What fun cards, Kim, love both of them! How cool that you and your daughter got to share the time at a baseball game! I am an Atlanta Braves fan myself and should have gone to a game when I lived in Denver as it would have been so easy! What a wonderful memory! Thanks for playing with us at the colourQ, always enjoy visiting your blog.

  15. What a fabulous daughter you have!! Bet you both had a fantastic time. And what a coincidence that all those special things were happening for that game...totally mean't to be!! Your first card is so sweet. I love those stamps, they remind me of little children drawings....gorgeous. And love the design for your second card. I struggled with those colours this week but you used them perfectly. Hope your summer holidays are still hot and sunny. Could you please send some warmth over to NZ if you have a chance??

  19. There is nothing better than a day at the ball park! I'm not a big enough fan to care whether we win or lose, but I still loving being there! Loving your cards too. That is such a charming neighborhood - I love the ground you have created. And the clusters of those poppies is such a fun look.
