ColourQ #291 and Happy Little Stampers - Sketch Challenge

It's Tuesday once again and time for a new color palette from ColourQ #291...it is a fun color combination and thought these different size dots would be fun to use. Once again I used my sweet MISTI, I love being able to stamp the image 2 or 3 times to get a vivid/bright color. I hope you will be able to find the time to play along with us this week...I always love seeing your wonderful creations. 

I am also entering this card in the challenge at Happy Little Stampers, this is my first time playing along with them and what a fun sketch they have!

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

CASE Study #148, Color Throwdown #249 and Seize the Birthday #20

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July...mine was nice and quiet.  Spent the day crafting and watching movies with my family, Despicable Me and Brave, both very good.  Today we went to see Despicable Me 2, it is just as good as the first movie and lunch out at California Pizza Kitchen, so much fun.  

My first card is a belated birthday card for sweet Darnell, I felt so bad that I forgot to send her a birthday greeting...so I have my card ready to pop in the mail tomorrow.  I am entering Darnell's card in two challenges, Seize the Birthday and Color Throwdown and you still have time to play along.

 

My next card is for this week's CASE Study and my sweet friend Tracey from In My Creative Opinion is their guest designer this month.  The inspiration card for this week is just beautiful and you still have plenty of time to play along, so why not join in the fun. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by and peek at my cards...have a wonderful weekend!

SSS - Transport, Cards for Maddy, CTD #246 and CFC #105

Happy Saturday! I have 3 cards to share today, 2 of them I made last night but it was too late to get them posted so I made one more to add to my little bundle today.  I was a bit stumped last night on what to make and Joyce mentioned making a card for Maddy and I used the sweet color combination from this week's Color Throwdown Challenge #246.  She is a sweet young lady who is battling cancer, no child should ever has to go through this. Simon Says Stamp is hosing this challenge to send her as many cards as possible. The staff at the hospital have a map and pin where all the cards come from, it would be wonderful to see all the cities and states pinned.  You still have plenty of time to play along you can find the link here.

My next 2 cards are for SSS - Transport and CFC #105 - Mapquest.  I have this fun little collection of cars and buses for Lucy (my Silhouette) that I have been wanting to play with them and thought this was the perfect challenge to do so. Ashleigh came in while I was making my little bus and started singing "we all live in a yellow submarine", I had to stop her!!! I am not a big fan of the Beatles and this on at the bottom of my list of their songs I will tolerate.  Not to get too far off track but I do love Sir Paul McCartney and will get to see  him at Outside Lands in August. Once I finished my card I thought it needed a hidden Mickey on it with the colors I used.  

My final card is for another travel card using the new October Afternoon - Travel Girl patterned paper. I used the luggage tag die from Taylored Expressions that I forgot I had until I saw Tracey from In My Creative Opinion use one that I sent her.  Funny how you get so many supplies and forget what you have! I am sure that has never happened to any of you right?  It was a fun card to make and I paired it with the Destinations stamp set from PTI, such a great match.  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and peek at my cards...have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dad's out there!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - May 2013

This month's blog hop theme is flowers and PTI gave us 7 beautiful "Bouquet Builder" color combination s to work with. Until just a few months ago I did not own any flower stamps, or very very few of them. With a bit of intervention from friends I finally saw the light. Now I own several sets and have even more on my wish list. I made 3 cards from this month's and really had so much fun.

My first card is a CASe of Lisa's card,  you can see here. I know there must me a secret to getting it come out perfect but I had no clue so I did what worked, made 3 before I got it right. 

My second card is a CASe of one the Tracey made and you can see her card here. I love the clean lines of it and DayDreamer is at the top of my favorite flowers. 

Thank you so much taking time to stop by to peek at my cards...have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Muse #18

Happy Wednesday! It seems like forever since I have made a card to post...long week so far but only 10 more school days until summer vacation, so excited. Then a full month off until I start teaching summer school, again, so excited and I am really looking forward to having so much time to just play! I have 2 cards to share tonight, one for this weeks Muse...Marion Vagg made an incredible card, so full of vibrant color. Just so beautiful, and her coloring, off the charts. So perfect for an inspiration card. 

My second card is one that I recycled goodies from a card that I received in the mail. Joyce was so sweet and sent me an anniversary card and it was so beautiful I hated to just put in the recycle pile in the garage, so I pulled all the fabulous little goodies off the card and made this one. Joyce made these beautiful roses and there was no way I could not use them! I still have enough to make 2 more cards!

Dynamic Duos #42 - Dark Green and Yellow

One more card for today...when I saw the colors for this weeks Dynamic Duos I wanted to play along with one of my new stamp sets, DayDreamer from PTI.  Not being much of a flower stamp person, my friend Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea helped me see the light and now I am in love with them. This stamp set has so many wonderful possibilities, there is even a set of dies to match! This was a pretty quick card too and that is always a plus when crafting.  I still have time to add this to this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp. Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card....have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
