CTS #277~ Vintage Vogue, Peaceful Place Stampin UP

 This morning I made a quick card to be submitted to the challenge at: CAS(E) this Sketch

The stamp sets featured in today's card are: 

Stampin Up~ Vintage Vogue

Stampin Up~ Peaceful Place

I think they complimented each other very well .  I kept the color a very "peaceful" soft suede, as not to add distraction with to much color.   haha.. Wait to you see my next card I'll be posting.. It's a big bang of color, after all I did need to brighten up the mood a bit. 😉

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.

Challenge #277 - Colours~ Everyday Expressions Stampin Up

  I want to give a big warm welcome to my newest blog follower.  This is  exciting❕  

 

I'm so happy you decided to sign up and follow my blog.  💛

The card I made for today I will be submitting to the challenge at: 

CAS Colours & Sketches

I'm thrilled I had the exact colors to work with.  YAY for that.   Although I had to use my aqua painter and dip it in my ink pads it still turned out ok.  I added a bit of clear wink of stella to all the treats, and the one with the bite out of it I added some white pearl paint, my gosh it actually looks like vanilla ice cream.  AWESOME.   I used an older stampin up set from 1997 called Everyday expressions for the sentiment.   I used a single stamp for the trio of cool treats from Repeat Impressions.   I just inked up one of the treats on the stamp for the inside of the card.   I was amazed I even had pool party ribbon on hand.  It was a gift from a  friend, and boy it tied this together lovely.  

I'm also including a picture of this lovely little finch resting at the feeding post today.

FMS342. Hand Delivered Stampin Up

 I was so excited to play with this new stampin up set called: Hand Delivered.  I feel so blessed to be able to have made a purchase that enabled me to get a hostess set.  YAY😊

So I found a challenge to play along with.  Freshly Made Sketches

As you can see I turned the sketch so it was more vertical, enabling me to have room for the balloons.  I used some lovely DSP for the background and also for her dress.  I found a piece of ribbon that matched the colors almost perfect so that is what I chose for my banner along the edge.  After some coloring and fussy cutting I then used the glossy accents for the balloons and it gave it such a realistic look.  LOVE that.  

Thank you  so much for stopping by for a visit.

I hope you will take a moment and look at my other cards, projects and pictures.  I'd love to have you follow my blog.

#TGIFC164~ Mimi's Christmas

 I had to hurry super fast with this card today, because I didn't see the fun challenge about doodling until about 25 minutes ago.. So I pulled out this little mimi's Christmas stamp set and went to work doodling.  I drew in the snow, and the borders, then I gave it a stitched look by adding dashes.   I scribbled a little border on the inside.  Then finished it off with printing the snow day on top.   I have to say I had to stamp her 3x before it finally took but then I hurried and colored her in.  I wanted to give a hint of rosy cheeks but some how it looks more like she got popped in the face with a snowball. UGH.. any ways I'm going to submit this card to the fun challenge at:

Sorry for the hurried mess in the card and the blog post today.

I hope you will take a look around at a few of my other card designs.

Sketch 269~ Waterfront, High Tide, Lily Pad Lake, Stampin Up

Oh boy what another super lovely sketch to play along with at:  Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge😊

  

I made this card for a friend who is going through cancer treatment.  Her courage is amazing.  

I wanted to make a lovely scene with my new Lily pad Lake set from stampin up.   I found it very interesting that in Colorado there is a Lily Pad Lake and it's so beautiful with the mountains that surround it.  They also have trails.  But to my complete amazement we have a Lily Pad lake here in WI.. WHAT???  Omgosh. .I had no idea.  Isn't that interesting? 

Any ways  I needed help from two more stampin up sets to make this card complete.  Waterfront and High Tide~ Two of my favorites.  

I added glossy accents to the water on the tag to give it a bit more dimension then the card background I stamped.   

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #458 Sky Is the Limit Stampin UP

 I went very simple with my card today.   I pulled out my Sky Is the Limit stampin up set.  I don't use it very often, and I thought that it would work perfectly with the sketch, so I'm going to submit my card to the challenge at: 

Tuesday Morning Sketches  

I used my world embossing folder for the background.   I added white ribbon so it would blend in nicely.  I also added a cute little silver brad in the center of the propeller. 

Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Week 305: JUMPY~ Critter at the Dog Park, Blue Skies Lawn Fawn

 Yesterday was HP's 7th birthday and I forgot to post pictures of the little darling.   So in honor of him, today I made a card with a cute little dog.    I used two Lawn fawn sets:  Critters at the dog park, and Blue Skies.   I think they worked out pretty nicely together.   I was so happy that the grass turned out level.  I had to stamp it 3x right next to each other.. phew.. it worked.    I added a little bit of clear wink of stella to the clouds and glossy accents to the tennis ball.    Which made me laugh because we have a few house rules for HP to follow and one is, no TOYS in the kennel, well yesterday he got a new ball, and guess who hid it in his kennel and slept with it?  lol  that silly dog of ours.  I will add a few pictures of him.    I thought this card was so fitting because HP can really jump and his favorite thing to do is jump up for catching those tennis balls.  He has a sweet personality that would win anyone over.   But He also has a LOT of energy. 

  I'm  going to submit my card to the challenge at: 

CASology

Gosh where did the time go??  It's just like raising children.    He's been such a blessing to our family.  Hope you enjoyed the pictures.
