Dynamic Duo's #68


I have one card to share today...Dynamic Duo's #68. This week's colors are Plum and your choice and what goes better with Plum than just about any shade of green.  I have not played with them for some time and needed to make a wedding card for Ashleigh's English teacher who is getting married next month.  I was inspired by the Celtic Heart Knot, Renee from It's a Patchwork Life gave me the challenge to duplicate the knot that Claire from Waltzing mouse made for the Pajama Party.  I did a bit of looking and found the knot and made it right my first try! I was so excited.  I hated to see the knot go to waste and thought it would be perfect for a wedding card.  I paired it with WP9's Fresh Cut Florals.  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card....have a wonderful weekend!

WM Pajama Party and CASology #59 - Book


My first card is for this week's CASology challenge, #59 and the cue card is "book".  I knew instantly what I wanted to do, I have always loved to read but not Ashleigh, it was really like pulling teeth. But then something happened, Stephanie Meyers wrote the Twilight series and she was hooked and not just the Twilight books but any book and she has no problem reading them over and over again.  While visiting Joyce for SAF, she was so sweet to share and piece of red glitter type card stock and I thought that it would make the perfect apple and Lucy had not problem cutting it either. I have to tell that we had so much fun with the whole Twilight thing, books, movies, waiting in line all day to see them at midnight, meeting the cast and even doing the Twilight movie tour in Washington and Oregon, they are such great memories!
This week is Anything Goes over at Simon Says Stamps so I will be posting all of my cards there too.




When we met to see Eclipse I thought some apple cupcakes would be fun to share with our friends in line. We would even order pizza to be delivered to the theater and camp out all day, some took naps, other read and we all had a blast!

My next few cards/projects are all for this month's Waltzingmouse Pajama Party, there are 5 separate challenges for the pajama party. There are prizes for each individual challenge and you don't have to have WM stamps to play along, but if you do there is a bigger prize. I am so happy that I planned ahead for this one and can't wait to see what the rest of the party goers create!
