Feel Better Soon!

Good morning!  Well, all the stars seem to be aligned for me this week as I’m hitting 3 challenges in one with this card!  Seriously, I was only trying to combine this month’s Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Hop  (felt or cozy fabrics) with their sketch challenge this week.  But then I noticed I have a lot of circles going on here, so I'm also entering this card in the A Passion for Papertrey’s Super Circles challenge :) ACK!  Can you believe it!  I’m sure there are a gazillion other challenges that this could fit, but these are a few of my favourites :)  Have a lovely day…only 2 more days until the weekend :)

Hello!  I’m back with another stunning card from our CASE Study May Muse, Agnieszka Malyszek.  Here’s the CAS with HUGE impact!

I loved the large single letter so opened up my Verve You and I set with matching die.  Then I picked out some new Authentique paper and added some horizontal strips to mimic the text lines on Aga’s card.  Oh, this was FUN!  I hope you’ll join us this week over on CASE Study…check out what the rest of the design team came up with, then create away!  Thanks for visiting :)

With All My Heart, Thank You

Good evening!  My regular posting schedule seems to be off a little bit again thanks mostly to the wonderful weekend the dh and I had :)  It was exactly what we needed, so no worries here :)  I started playing around with the colours from this week’s colourQ inspiration photo…check out that sexy and fabulous shoe! ACK!

After leafing through my paper, I found paper from 3 different paper pads PLUS they all came from 3 different manufacturers! Whew!  Then I remembered that PTI’s Make It Mondays video was about mixing patterns.  So after I made this card, I watched the video.  Hmm, does that still count?!  Teehee…loved hearing Betsy’s voice and seeing her fabulous collection of patterned paper! Wow! So I’ve been able to combine 2 challenges! Eek! Haven’t done that for awhile, but it happened so naturally, I’m rolling with it :)  Had so much fun mixing these fun colours, using some of my new dies and stamps and just being in the studio :)  Thanks for visiting and for all your sweet comments :)  Sweet dreams!

The Most Special Thing about this Card

Good morning! It’s our Victoria Day holiday here in Canada so I’m having a lazy morning in my jammies in the studio with morning talk shows and coffee!  Can’t wait until the summer when I’ll get to do this every day :)  Some of you know that the dh and I snuck away for a little mini vacation this weekend.  We had a super fun time shopping, tasting wine and enjoying each other.  We were in a neighbouring town with an LSS so, of course, I had to stop by and say hi…it would be rude not to!  They had a nice selection of 6x6 paper pads, ribbon and metal badges along with some fun Memory Box dies.  I couldn’t resist this delicate butterfly!  And used it right away to make today’s card.
I am playing along with the Runway Inspired Challenge.  I focused on the colours in that dress and the center image that reminds me of a butterfly.

Okay, a little more play time then off to the grocery store :)  Thanks for dropping by!

What’s in it?

stamps: pti modern woodgrain, verve small celebrations (flourish above and below sentiment)

ink: versafine onyx

paper: pti rustic cream, studio calico take note, su wisteria

accessories: may arts ribbon, memory box butterfly die

Husband and Wife

Good morning!  Today’s card is very appropriate for my weekend.  See, this husband and wife are on a little mini vacation enjoying some shopping, sunshine and most importantly, each other :)  I had some play time in the studio before we left and the new Play Date colour challenge AND the Moxie Fab World Damask and Brocade challenge were calling to me.  You have to be careful with black and yellow…it can look bumblebee-ish which is fine if you want that look…but I wanted it to look elegant (damask) and funky (polka dots).  Hope that’s how it came out.  Thanks for visiting and I hope you are enjoying some sunshine where you are…if not with the weather, then in your heart :)

Spread Your Wings ~ Viva La Verve!

 

Good morning!  Woohoo! It’s the Friday of a long weekend!  How sweet is that?  AND I’m the host over on the Viva La Verve Forum this week!  I have been having a little love affair with my new Amy Tangerine paper pad so couldn’t resist using some more on my card today.  Does this sketch look familiar?  LOL  I’ve used it a few times now but love how you can change up the shapes like I did!  I tried putting the main sentiment in a circle, but it just didn’t look right.  So here it is on a rectangle! ACK!  My sentiments are from Verve’s Wings of Love and the butterfly image is from Chicks Rule.  Do butterflies soar?  Well, this one does on a long weekend!! HA!
