Birthday Waltz.........

Hello and Happy,.... what Wednesday! Oh it is mid-week already! Glad to have you stop by! My birthday card today is made following the Waltzingmouse challenge this week. It is a pretty simple sketch and so I really wanted to "spruce" it up a little bit. So I added the hearts, the embossing and clip. The embossing folder is a Tim Holtz folder, the polka dot stamp is a WMS and the sentiment is SU.

Challenges: WMS sketch, Simon Says embossing

Verv-i-licious!

Hello! Back again today with a Verve card for the July Challenges: week 1. Do you love this Cosmo Cricket paper or what? Oh yeah- this is one of my favorites. And the next best thing- is this sketch awesome? I like it because it is not something that I would have done without it. I did a little bit of smudging around the lace circle and then added the four squares (in more CC!)and then throw in a little flourish and wha-la!

Challenges: SimonSaysStampNShow (flourishes)

Relaxin.............

Happy Tuesday

I hope you had a fabulous holiday weekend. It was very busy but we did fit in some relaxation and the weather was fabulous! And then I had some timeI got to do a little crafting too. So today's card is made with a LOTV image and so I am submitting for their challenge this week (celebrate) but I also thought it was simple. I only stamped the image in memento brown and colored only a few leaves: otherwise no coloring. Kind of a sepia look. The background papers are basic grey.

Have a great week!

Challenges:

Lotv: celebrate

SSIC: clean and simple

Sentiment Sunday: anything goes

Stamptacular: 2 of something (2 DSP, 2 Colors,2 sentiments)

Creative Inspiration: Summer - nothing like relaxin

Simple Clean Christmas

So today's card is a little different isn't it? Firstly I used the Pixie Cottage sketch which I did like but struggled with alot. I was not sure where to put my sentiment! But I knew when I started I needed some simple holiday cards so did want to keep it simple. The colors were chosen as I didn't want to use typical traditional holiday colors so I could enter the card into the ABC DT Challenge and the Simon Says challenge. I added a little bling to give it a little umph!

Caught Hangin Around!

Hey! Here we are with a Christmas card, yep! I have made a few of these this summer in anticipation of getting some done ahead of time. Have you started any? This little guy is a High Hopes stamp that I have not used in so long. The DSP is from basic grey (figgy pudding). I colored the image with my copic markers and then distressed the edges with a tool and ink. That is the scoop- have a great day!

Challenges:

High Hopes: use favorite embellishments (ribbon/flowers)

Simon says: Get Dotty (dotted BG DSP)

Friday Sketch: SKETCH

MOJO Mix

Happy Sunday!

Today's card is from last weeks MOJO Monday sketch that Julee had for us...... it is another winner I think. I just love all her sketches, she just makes it all come together doesn't it? LOOK, look.......... this paper is October Afternoon Thrift Shop. I found these papers about 3 weeks ago and just fell in love with them. They have several lines that are wonderful and vintage feel and well, I am into vintage right now. Are those little flowers just the sweetest little things and look at the little clear flower button, it is from Webster's Pages. I still feel like I need something to add to this card and I am not sure what it is but for now it will stay.

This card also was made for these challenges:

Simon Says: Buttons, Bows and Bling

Have a wonderful day!
