Coffee and friends

Hey y'all! Happy Monday!
Hope your week is starting off right?!...

Today, is one of the 'cozy up inside' kind of day. It is so cold here and windy on top of it, which just adds to the cold factor. So I've been taking it easy, cooking and crafting. 

I'm sharing a fun coffee card using some Honey Bee Stamps goodies. I saw their Facebook challenge is all about coffee, tea, and cocoa...

I really just was having some fun with this card. I had no idea where things were going...I started messing with things late last night and then this morning finished things up. I was actually surprised it came together...somehow. lol

Well, that's all for me today. I'm off to do some blog visits and type up some posts.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day and week!

Hey sweet friend!

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday, almost Friday!
Hope all is well?!...

I'm back sharing another no-line watercoloring card. No challenges or anything, just for fun and practice. ;) And I have to say, this card took me a couple days to do because I was trying a few different things.

I played with using different watercolor paper and whatnot and what seemed to work best for me was using heavy weight bristol smooth cardstock. I normally use a mix media cardstock but thought I'd try something else. For me, it seemed my colors were able to spread more easily and stay more vibrant. I found the drying time was fairly quick and just overall easier for me to grasp this whole watercoloring thing. ;)

I really enjoyed making this card because I felt more at ease and things just went smoother. I also think it looks way better than the others I've tried...well, that's what I'm thinking?...I'm still going to be playing around more...hoping to make some more progress in the watercoloring world. ;)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day!

You are SO beautiful...

Hey y'all!
Happy Monday! Hope your week is starting off right?!...

I'm swinging in today to share a card I made for the current Altenew Inspiration Challenge.

I decided to try my hand at some no-line watercoloring (again). I'm still trying to learn more with the whole watercolroing thing and how to grasp it better. Hopefully with more time I'll get better at it. ;) Though it is relaxing, isn't it?!...

As you can see, I kept things very simple. I just worked in different areas at different times until the first area was dry and so on. After, I added on my sentiment and topped things off with some burlap twine. Simple, yeah?!...And I know you probably can't tell, but my sentiment is stamped in a darker green ink. ;) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hope you have a great week!

Let's chill

Hey y'all! Happy Thursday, almost Friday! :)
Hope all is well?!...

I'm swinging in today to share a card for the current CASology Challenge.

If I'm being honest, I really had know clue what I was going to do to incorporate 'frozen' into my card. What kept coming to my mind was 'frozen in time' but I had no stamps that I came across that 'grabbed me' to even make something like that. Though, what I came across was some frozen ice cream treats! So of course, I just went that route. ;) 

Well, that's all for me today!

Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a great day! :) 

missing you...so very much

Hey y'all!
Hope all is well?!...

I really don't even want to say anything and not to brag about anything...but my crafty mojo seems to be back and steady! lol *knocking on wood* Let's hope it stays this way. ;)

Anyhow, I'm still using up some 'new to me' Christmas goodies. No challenges or anything for this card. Though, I was inspired by THIS card from Miriam. Thank you Miriam for the inspiration! :)

I loved how Miriam did her coloring to be sepia toned, though I wasn't sure if I could pull that off. So I went more a black and white and grey tone of colors. Then I chose to 'pop' two of the flowers out by coloring them a nice aqua color. And that's about it. Simple, yeah?!...

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Have a great day! :)
