I added a bit of glossy accents to the balloons to give them a reflection of being real.   I think the card turned out so cute.  I am really starting to love the white space challenges.  

With these difficult days upon us, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy.  May God bring healing to our country.

Sketch #360 Timeless Tropical, Stampin Up. Happy Birthday

  I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Timeless Tropical

I think my dad is going to LOVE this DSP.   So this will be for his Birthday.  

I added the little ukulele because I have one and have started playing it.  My dad plays many instruments, but when I won my ukulele he was thrilled.  My son in law gave me helpful tips because he too can play many instruments.  SO I'm going to try and learn the Happy Birthday tune for dad.  

I'm also including a picture of the little package I sent out on Saturday.  I got the neatest order in my etsy shop.  A grandmother purchased one of my coloring cards and asked if I'd be willing to send it directly to her granddaugher with a note from Grandma and Grandpa.  So she told me what she wanted to say and I printed it out and taped it to the package.  That was so Sweet.  

Also adding a picture of my desk drawer.  I finally got all my papers organized, after a nice sized paper cut and some issues of OCD getting in the way. I decided to put all shades of the same color in one pocket.  We will see how that works out for me. 

Today I made some homemade salisbury steaks and mashed potatoes for my daughter and son in law, who so lovingly dropped off a 4 pack of toilet paper for us.  Who knew that the toilet paper would become such a fast selling item.  We are grateful that the kiddos thought of us.  So hence the dinner I made. 

Hope you are all doing well.  So grateful for card making and sending to brighten peoples days.

PP482 Rise & Shine, Love Is Kindness, Stampin Up, He Has Risen G-Studio, Happy Easter

 I was most excited to make this card, because the idea had been swimming in my mind all night, but when I set to work to make it today, nothing seemed to go according to the plans in my head.  As usual. haha.  I put the first card below so you could see I really aimed to make this an Easter Card.  But the way the cross was in the center and the little rhinestones around the edge made it look more like a helm for a ship to me.  So I scratched that idea, and thought why not use a little of the ribbon I received as a gift to make a cup warmer for my mug.  Which turned into a vase. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Rise & Shine

Stampin Up:  Love is Kindness

G-Studio: He Has Risen

FMS426 Rise & Shine, Stampin Up, Tea

 I made this quick little card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

After my last card, I just needed to step back, breath and do something simple. No DSP and only one layer.  

It felt good to just go back to the basics.

TMS #545 Parisian Beauty Stampin up, Merci

 What a fun card to make.  I'm not to thrilled with the floral DSP, but I know many people love these prints, so I'm learning to work with them.  The fun for me was it was not the standard A2 card. This card is made to fit the #10 envelope which means letter size.  So it was a great challenge to  do.

Stampin Up:  Parisian Beauty

Unfortunately, I will be calling the company because my stamp is off centered and one side don't stamp nicely so I had to use the dies in this set to make this card.  I will include a picture to show you what I mean.  In fact all the stamps in this set are just like that.  I must have got a wonky set.   But I know Stampin up and they will graciously help me out. 

I even decorated the envelope and as you can see, because the stamps are off centered I couldn't seem to line things up.  But it's just an envelope.  So I let it go.

I almost forgot to dot the "i" in Merci, but phew, I remembered the little rascal was still stuck in the die. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:
