every cloud...

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday!



Today, we have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! This time we're all about using a 'sketch'.


Here's what I came up with.



I decided to flip the sketch, for my card. I kept things nice and clean. I just did some simple stamping and cutting. Then to tie everything together, I used a mini staple to hold my clouds together. Added my sentiment, along with some twine and sequins. That's it. What do you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS on Sunday and see all the DT creations! While you're there, I hope you'll join us, too! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Chocolate

Hey y'all! Happy Saturday! :)

Hopefully, Spring has come your way?!...Been nothing but sunny and humid, here. Mid to upper 80's...it feels oh so good! ;) (I'm really trying not to rub it in. lol)

Anyhoo, I recently went on a little shopping spree (again)! And I bought the new Verve Stamps chocolate set and die. I couldn't resist, especially knowing that Chaitali illustrated it. ;)

This is a 'just for fun' card.


Seriously, when making this card, I was smelling chocolate! lol I kept sniffing and sniffing..."like, am I really trippin'?!" (yes, I talk to myself like this. lol) Well, I'll tell you what it was (or at least what I think it was)...it was that new stamp smell! lol Guess that smell, along with thinking 'chocolate', had my smelling chocolate! If anyone else has this set, please feel free to let me know if you're smelling chocolate, too! ;)

But really, this is such a fun set! I've only made this card so far, but I'm gonna continue to play around with it some more. I kept going back and forth with the added twine at the top. I thought leaving it off, it looked to bare up there?...So, I added it back. But now looking at it, I'm thinking I should have gone the other way?!...lol...Sometimes I do these last minute decisions, which don't always go in my favor. Let me know what you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your weekend! :)

Wonderful

Hey y'all! Happy Tuesday! :)

Hope you're having a great week, so far?!...Not too bad, here. Though, I'm still trying to get this whole morning thing down again! lol That 'spring forward' did it, I tell ya! ;)

Anyhow, I'm just sharing a card I made for the current Little Tangles Challenge. And this time it's all about 'anything goes'!


Here's my card.



Oh, my! I did some coloring! lol I'm certainly not the best at it, but I do enjoy it! ;) I started by masking off my area. Then randomly stamped on my flowers and leaves. After, I removed my masks and did my coloring. Once done, I added my strips of black paper and finished it off with a wood veneer banner, with my sentiment stamped on it. So, what do you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

one could 'feather' have

Hey y'all! Happy Monday!



We have a brand new Waffle Flower Photo Challenge, today! :)


Beautiful photo, yeah?!...

So, here's my take on it.


Yep. I kept everything nice and clean. I used the Feather More stamp set and did some coloring! I know I'm not the best at coloring, but I sure have been enjoying it! ;) Hopefully, you can see my hint of color around the feather, as well?...I wanted it stand out a little more, rather than it just being flat (so to speak) on my card. So, what you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to the Waffle Flower Photo Challenge, to see all the DT creations and to join in on the fun! Hope to see you there! :)

Thank for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

with love...flowers

Hey y'all! Happy Sunday! :)

Just swinging on in to share a card! I saw the current The Card Concept challenge and thought I'd give it try! ;)


Here's what I came up with!


I went with a very soft CAS card. When I saw the photo, Wplus9's botanical bunch set came to me, and what better timing because I just got it the day prior. ;) Rather than inking my stamp in black, I went with using Hero Arts shadow ink in soft granite. After, I did some coloring. I layered my die cut sentiment three times and added a hint of pink to the bottom of it. (that may be hard to see?...) Simple and sweet, yeah?...

*Note: Here I go again about my photo! lol Seriously, I don't think it's a horrible photo. But now I seem to think my photos are looking 'grainy'?...Maybe to much editing on one part or time for a new camera?!...Well, I'm going with 'time for a new camera'! See, I've been working with the same camera for many, many years. Nothing fancy, which I happen to like because I'm not the best with gadgets and stuff. Though, I'm behind in as far as megapixels go...I could use something with more of them. So, I started 'hinting' (more like complaining) to my husband about it and well, he bought me a new camera!...For my birthday! lol My birthday's not until April!...I told him, I'll wait. (though, we'll see how that goes.) ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

howdy

Hey y'all! Hope your week is going good so far?!...Nothing but sunshine and 80's here! (and it's about time!) ;)

Anyhow, I'm swinging on in to share a card I made for a couple different challenges. I'm playing along with Virginia's View Challenge and Inkspirational Challenges!




So, here's my card.


I recently bought one of Lawn Fawn's new stamp/die sets and needed to put it to use! Seriously, this is another favorite of mine! It is sooo cute! ;) I used a woodgrain embossing folder for my background, along with Lil' Inker Designs die. Then, I stamped all my images twice and after, layered my die cut pieces together. After, I added them to my card base and then top it off with my sentiment and 'sprinkled' a few sequins. So, what you think?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day! :)

Spring Coffee Lovers-card 2

Well, it seems I have to have different links, to link up! lol I tried posting my cards together but it seems the linky tool did not like that. lol ;)



Here's my second card.



I played some more and ended with this. Again, not so sure it's 'me'?...But I seem to like this card, better than my first one...maybe the colors or layout...maybe more 'me' in it that I can see...I really don't know! lol I just like it. :)

Okay, that's all for me today! Don't forget to swing on over to the Spring Coffee Lovers blog and join in on all the fun! :)
