The Challenge #69

 

Hello....and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, mine was busy but still lots of fun. Spent Saturday with some of my favorite crafting buddies at an all day Crop and Sunday lunch with my sweet mom. 

I have one card to share today for the new challenge at The Challenge #69...isn't this a beautiful quilt. I don't do well with rainbows for inspiration, so I thumbed through my stamp sets trying to find the perfect stamp to represent some sort of rainbow. City Scene has been one of my favorite sets from PTI and with the help of my Misti I went crazy with the colors. 

I hope you will find the time to play along with us this week....thanks you so much for taking the time to stop by.....enjoy your week!

Colour Me #62 and Papertrey Ink's MIM #204

Hope your weekend is a fun one...I spent most of my day hemming a wedding gown, 4+ hours to be exact and I am almost finished, maybe another hour or two. There are 7 layers to this gown and I have 2 1/2 to go. I have to say it has been so much fun working with this beautiful fabric. 

I have 2 cards to share today. The first is for the current challenge at Colour Me. This weeks colors are so beautiful...shades of green, beautiful green. So I made a St. Patrick's Day village. This is the first time I have pulled out the dies from City Scene by PTI. I could never line up the stamps, so why bother...but now that I have my wonderful MISTI (and thank you Marybeth for the fabulous tip too). 

My second card is for this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday. I have not played along in some time and I wanted to try out this "smooshing" technique. So much fun, but I will say that I messed up several times, almost ready to give up but I didn't. I only used one color and will try this again another day. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Addicted to CAS #25 - One Layer

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend...mine has been pretty quiet, yesterday we went to Travis Air Force Base to do our grocery shopping, came home and made a pot of homemade chicken noodle soup, love soup and the weather is getting a bit cooler.  I finished laundry and cleaned my craft room up a bit so I would not feel guilty playing with some of my new stamps.  When I saw the City Scene set from PTI I knew this one would be coming home to live with me, just wish it had San Francisco in it too.  Maybe it will be in an additions pack in the future.  I decided to use the set to make a card for this week's Addicted to CAS challenge, one layer cards...I don't do many of these so this was a bit of a challenge but lots of fun using my new stamps.  Since going to Paris is on my bucket list I decided to play with those stamps first and made a little scene of Santa flying over the Eiffel Tower.  Thank you so much for taking time to peek at my card...have a fabulous day!
