Strength

Hello. I had to make a sympathy card for a friends of mine who lost her mother suddenly. There are my least favorite cards to do - as I am sure they are yours as well. Anyway, no challenges or color combos here...just a card from the heart.

See you soon..

New little someone

Hi everyone. Hope you're have a great Sunday wherever you. It's 60 degrees here in my part of Tennessee and I love it. My daughter and I went to see Ed Sheeran last night. He always puts on a fantastic show! Well, anyway today I am playing along with he ladies over at Color Throwdown. Here are the colors we were to use:

And here is my card:

I think I need a better light source, because my cards are so bright and cheerful in person. Get them on film, though, and they look washed out. Any thoughts on that? Well, thanks for stopping in!

Mojo Monday

Hey there! Thanks for dropping in! I have this week's Mojo Monday card for you. I just love these colors together and the designer paper is one of my favorites. It's from Stampin Up, I think, and is long gone. :(

So, here is the card: 

and here is the sketch:

 I too a wee bit of leeway with the sketch to even my card out, but I like how i turned out. Have a happy day! 

Verve September Sketch 1

Hi All! It's been so long since I have played along with the ladies over at Verve for the weekly sketches they have. This is the Viva la Verve week one sketch. They have some of the best sketches around, I think. Here is my card for the week one sketch. I started off using the sketch along with the color pallet, but it sorta got away from me so I ended up using the color pallet more than the sketch. They also have an inspiration picture with lots of sweets. See...

                                        

Here is the sketch..

Thanks for stopping in today. I appreciate that! :)

Your wonderful self

Hi all! Second post of the day - fancy! :)

I am playing along with the Make it Monday over at the Papertrey/ Nichole heady bog. The challenge was do emboss resist using die cuts. I swear it t me watching that video 100 times before I got it right...lol. I'm a slow learner apparently. I do like how it came out. I don't have a lot of the dies, so I was a little limited on what I could do PLUS my versamark is contaminated with red ink so the embossed part has a pink tinge. Anyway, so here is the card along with a close up of the embossed section.

Check out the challenge and play along.

Thinking of you!

Hey there! I'm back this morning with another card for the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. It ends in a few hours, so I am squeezing it in. :)

And here, again, is the great sketch! I went a little outside the box for this card. It's definitely more graphic and bold than most of my cards, but I like it.

I'm also using this week's color combo at Color Throwdown. It's so bright and cheery. I decided to go a little darker on the base!

 Well, that's it from me today. I hope your week is starting off well. Take care!

Thanks Facebook!

Happy Sunday everyone! It has been a few weeks since I have been online. We had a bought of viral bronchitis hit the household and then some really bad allergies. Needless to say, I was itching to get back into my craft room. I decided to play along with the Freshly Made Sketches for this week. Here is my card followed by the sketch.

Isn't that little Stampin Up set so cute? I got it just for the Facebook phrase. I love things like that..so funny. Well, the brats are ready so it's football and brats time. I'll be back tomorrow with another card for this sketch. I just love it. There are so many possibilities! Thanks for dropping in!
