Case This Sketch...

5/31/2017

1 Comment

 
As I write this blog we are having one seriously crazy hail storm! I'm glad I made it home from work before it started!!!

I'm for sure looking forward to some sun and flowers, which was my inspiration for this card. So I knew I needed to use my new Aloha Gina Marie die set. Who wouldn't want to drink from a coconut with an umbrella? Plus the flowers are fabulous, although time consuming, totally worth the end result.

​I hope you all enjoy!

Stamp Ink Paper/MojoMonday...

5/28/2017

 
It's Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of summer! I'm for sure ready for warmer weather and days at the beach. I even enjoyed the heat wave the other week unlike so many probably felt it was too hot.

I hope you all are enjoying your holiday weekend. It's been relaxing for me. Next weekend is the Stamp Show at The Big E. I'm looking forward to finding some new stamping treasures.

Today I combined the Stamp Ink Paper and Mojo Monday challenges. Tiptop taupe and Rich Razzleberry are 2 of my favorite colors and the Beautiful You stamp set is fantastic. I always seem to work in the versatile Touches of Textures stamps into so many of my cards. I hope you enjoy this simple designed card, chose to keep it basic.

Mother's Day-Watercooler Wednesday challenge...

5/11/2017

 
I've been a bit busy this week and got behind on making some new cards. But I'm looking forward to flip flop weather and felt like using my Papertrey "flipping out" stamp and die set!

Fun fact: I'm lucky to have an easy going mom, but I guess you need to be when you marry an American sailor and move literally to the other side of the world! She's actually from New Zealand! Plus she's the only person in her family who lives here in the states. So that makes me half kiwi!!

​Enjoy my flip flops!

Magic Card CTS...

5/2/2017

 
I've had a chance to try my hand again at the magic card technique. Today was the day and I decided to make the card vertical, which did cause a little difficulty on the sides since I had less room to work with... But I did get it made and not bad for my first attempt after class.

​I hope you you all enjoy this card!
