Simple Skipping Stone

Hello and welcome to Tuesday!

I hope you are all having a wonderful week.  To get me started I decided to participate in the skipping stones challenge again this week.  It was a very simple sketch and I thought better late than never, right?  I have been needing some thank you cards so I thought I would make this into one. I do hope you have a wonderful day!  

Flourish and Pinterest....

This week over on Flourishes Challenge they are having us choose a Pinterest Christmas photo as our inspirations.  Well I just love Christmas so I was all over this challenge. Here is my picture that I chose, this year I would love to have some of these on my doorways.  I already have a wonderful swag that hangs between my dining and living but this is so sweet I must find more places.   

Of course the challenge would not be complete with my response to the challenge correct?  As soon as I saw the doorway I immediately thought of a window and my window die that I have not used nearly enough.  So I pulled that out and I wanted to keep it country"ish" so to speak so this is my MME paper pad, just love these peeled paint papers.  

I hope you will stop on over and check out all the wonderful holiday inspiration, or better yet.... join us! 

Pretty in Pink!

Hello and welcome back!  Today's project is an altered album that I am going to submit for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge READ IT!  

Now, you may not read this book but once the pictures are in it and the journaling is done you will definately enjoy reading it.  I love these books sitting on the coffee table just to flip through and enjoy!

A couple of the inside pages.  This one here is a frame that you can pull out the inside chipboard and use it as a template for cutting the photo that you want to put back in.  I also included another tab so it can be attached to the final photos so you still have the same effect. 

And a final page- this little flower insert can come out and be used for journaling and/or you could add a photo and tuck it into the pocket.  

Hang in There...............

Happy Saturday! 

I got a few minutes this morning to participate in the Skipping Stones Challenge.  It is quite a simple sketch and I had a card in my head but this one just did not turn out. I spent so much time changing it up, taking parts off.....  and then this photo was so challenging to take (overcast and rainy today).  The little sentiment is a Skipping Stone Sentiment too!  

Have a great weekend!

Flowers and Birthdays

Hello and welcome back!  

Oh I am so mad at myself on this one, I had originally done this one for the Cheery Lynn challenge last week and didn't get it posted!  But either way, this is another card that I made this last weekend that after it was done I went, WOW- that is really pretty, did I make this?  LOL!  I know sometimes I truly surprise myself.  I look at all these other ladies and imagine creating like many of them and then I pull one out of my hat.  It just really takes a long time to come up with this idea and then make it like it should in your head.  Ah, maybe they all have that same problem, it just looks easier on their blogs. (does that even make sense?) 

Take care!

A little MOJO Kick Start!

Happy Monday! 

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend.  It was quite busy here, lets see boating and dinner with friends, a trip to move one child into dorm, then out with family, another day visiting with family, a bike ride and ended it with taking that child back to college to kick off his junior year.  I was thinking as I was seeing all these back to school photos of kids- my boys would not be happy if I did that to them. So I didn't.......... you get to see cards.  

Today's card I made last night for the MOJO Monday sketch challenge.  I have been wanting to get back into those and put my foot down this weekend........... so here it is.  This is one of those cards that once it is done you go WOW- that really is pretty!  I am sure the photo does not do it justice but it is a gorgeous card!

Have a great week! 

Other challenges:   SSSC: anything goes, Stamp & Create: anything goes, 

Haunting ......

Happy Labor Day Weekend! 

Today I got a few minutes to pull out some crafty stuff and I thought I would play along with the Skipping Stones Challenge.  I thought the sketch was simple and I had a good time with it.  I typically do not do cards like this, with the hole in the middle and the image on the inside but I do like how it turned out.  This image is from G45!  (I don't have any SS yet).  

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with family and friends!
