key to my heart

Hi everyone! Quick post as I'm running late for work and feeling rather poorly. I made this card for this weeks Retro Sketches challenge. I just LOVE this sketch

I decided to make a Valentine's themed card a little early. :)

I had never used that Papertrey Lock & Key set. It is a fun little set with lots of possibilities...especially if you have the matching die. Well, i'm out of here..laters!

Cool Chick!

Is the weekend gone already? Really? Ah well, another day another nickel..lol

Today, I am playing along with Color Throwdown.

 I could NOT get Easter and spring out of my head when looking at these colors, so that's sort of the direction I went. I used one of my cute Verve sets, Chicks Rule, and made a sweet little pastel number. 

I think it's completely outside of my realm when it comes to colors. I find myself drawn to neutrals, but this was really fun to make. I haven't used Almost Amethyst in, I know, 4 years..lol. Anyhow, play along if you can..you have until Tuesday, I think.

Mashup!

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful Saturday. I managed to wake up with the cold/flu that my family has had all week...yay. :(  At least it's the weekend, so I don't have to miss work, right? :)

So, on this rainy Saturday I wanted to play along with Friday Mashup. I hadn't played along with them in months and months. Today's colors/mashup are soo beautiful. Here is the challenge:

I decided to use three of the colors and do a pattern. Here ya go:

I absolutely love the bold colors. This is a combination I will definitely use again! Thanks for stopping by...play along if you can! 

baby boy

Hi! Happy Friday!! This weekend, Ava and I are having a girls weekend! Not sure what we are doing, but I am pretty sure it will include movies and Murder, She Wrote. Hubby bought me the entire series on DVD and I am in heaven. It is truly my favorite show ever! 

Today's card uses this weeks Colour Q colors...

I immediately thought of a baby boy card. I did, however, have a hard time incorporating the gray....of course, that's why it's called a challenge, right? :)

Here is my card: 

If you cannot tell, the basic gray is behind the white panel. The button is also basic gray. :)  This was a fun little card to make...now just to find a pregnant friend! 

I hope you guys all have a fabulous weekend. Talk to you soon! 

happy, happy, happy, happy, happy!

Good day everyone! I am so enjoying stamping again. You know how sometimes you just have to take a break from things? That's how I felt for a while. Something told me not to sell all of my stuff, though...lol

So, anyway today I am playing along with Papertreyink's Make it Monday challenge. The challenge was to "create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and one of the rainbow color schemes illustrated above along with a repeated die-cut or stamped image". I decided to use this rainbow:

And here is my card: 

I really thought this card would be easier than it was. I think I went through a pack of colored paper...lol. Anyway, hope you like it. Thanks for stopping in!



                                                       

Simply Fabulous

Hey ladies! Thanks for stopping by. I'm so excited for this card.  I just love the way it turned out..just like I pictured in my head.  Don't you love when that happens? 

I am playing along with a challenge that I've not ever played. It's called Retro Sketches. This weeks sketch  is just adorable and its from a card that Kasia made last year.  Here is the sketch: 

And here is what I did with it. 

 And yes, once again I am playing with the "u" from Verve. I really like how this card came out. Hope you do,too! Laters..

Without You

Happy Monday everyone! Did you have a great weekend? Mine consisted of a wee bit of partying a people watching followed up with a late night trip to Waffle House...yum. 

Today I am playing along with the ladies over at Colour Q. The challenge was to pick any f the designers chose as their favorite and create a card with it. Of course I went for the more subtle colors and chose Silke's favorite:

I decided to make a little missing you card. I love love love the 'U' from the Verve set "You & I". It's really a fun set and I love the die cuts that go along with it.

Here is my card: 

It was a really fun card to make. The colors are just so right for each other.  Well, I'm off. Take care! Laters..
