WSC66 - Beautiful Flowers

I made this card for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC66 and SCS Color Challenge CC181. This is a lovely color combo; Rose Red, Basic Black and Kraft. The card is pretty straightforward. I did emboss the sentiment to make it stand out on the designer paper.

This is one of the many creations I made this weekend while at a stamping retreat with four of my best friends, Janet Beahm, Mercy Kerin, Donna White-Dropkin and Ashley Ward. We had sooooooo much fun. I laughed until I couldn't laugh any more. Girls FOUR. LOL!

Thanks for stopping by to see me today and I hope you have a wonderful week!!

MTSC17 - Mercy's Tuesday Sketch

I made this card for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge MTSC17. Please check out Mercy's blog and play along with the challenge. It's a wonderful sketch to play with. I love lots of layers and this one had plenty. Pink and orange together have been a favorite of mine this past week. They look even better mixed with chocolate, don't they?

It's late and I have to go to work in a few hours. Thanks for coming by to take a look and have a great week!!!

WSC64 - Unusual Christmas Card

How do you like this Christmas card? I made it for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC64 from 2 weekends ago. Beautiful sketch!!! I got the idea from this card my special friend Mercy Kerin did here. She is the "Queen of Embossing" and she has gotten me addicted now. I used Baroque Motifs for the black embossing on the red panel. The white scallops were made with one of the large rectangle nestabilities. Yes, it's full of piercing again. Love it!!!

BTW, I am going on a stamping retreat this Friday morning until Sunday afternoon with 5 of my great friends, Janet, Mercy, Donna, Beth and Ashley. Girls, 4 more days. Woohoo!!!

Hope you have a great week. Thanks for looking!!

MOJO58 CC191 - Pretty Colored Verve

Wouldn't these colors make great cards for Christmas? I will definitely have to use this color combo for some of my Christmas cards. This is for Verve Visuals Monday Sketch Challenge MOJO58 from two Monday's ago and for this week's Color Challenge CC191 on SCS. Have you noticed I have been in to the piercing the last few cards I have made? Yeah, I'll get off of it soon but it sure does look good on the card, doesn't it?

This is a pretty simple card so I won't go in to any specific details with it. The colors are Kiwi Kiss, Red Riding Hood Red, and Pretty in Pink.

Thanks for looking and have a great week!!

WSC65 CC191 - The Twig Miester

This is for Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC65 and for SCS Color Challenge CC191. I hope you can see the glittery snow at the bottom of the scene I made using Diamond Stickles. I didn't want to pull my Coluzzle out to make the circle in the top left corner so I used my coffee cup. Worked rather nicely. The Twigster scene is colored with Copics.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!!

CC190 SC201 - Love This Color Combo

I just adore this color combo I used from last week's Color Challenge, CC190 from SCS. These are my kind of colors. I combined it with this week's Sketch Challenge, SC201. This is my first card with this set after getting it on sale in October. I love the tiered cupcakes. I applied Diamond Stickles to the icing on each cupcake to give it some sparkle. It's very eye catching IRL. Everything is colored with Copics. The Kiwi paper is from the Bella Rose designer paper pack and the Tangerine paper is from the Tangerine Tango prints pack. I did use Pretty in Pink instead of Pixie Pink though. I like this pink better. The edges of the Kiwi paper are pierced with my paper piercer and SU's mat pack. The pink ribbon is non SU 5/8" grosgrain. Love, love, love this size ribbon. Have I said love too many times in this paragraph? Love you, all my readers :)

I have been very slack in posting the past couple of months. First, I went back to work full time almost a year ago (seems like forever now) so that cut down drastically on my stamping time. 4th grade with my son has also been a killer this year. And to top that off my stamping room had gotten so out of control messy that I couldn't find anything. Last Sunday I took the whole day, 16 hours to be exact, and got my room in tip top shape now. Wow, is all I can say. I have made three cards this week and one calendar made with my Bind-it-All that I have to post now. I'll start out with one at a time so that I will have something to post for a few days. Maybe I'll have time to work on something else Sunday too. Thanks for looking!!

Hope the rest of your weekend is great.

Halloween Monkey

I love Mr. Sock Monkey even though so many of you out there hate him. I decided to make this a feminine Mrs. Sock Monkey for Halloween, if that's possible. I really like the colors on it though. Not traditional Halloween colors at all. Hope you enjoy looking at her.

Have a great week!!

Butterflies in the Fall

Here is a very plain, simple card using the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set. I really like the pretty fall colors of the Haiku designer paper so I made some fall butterflies.

It's late and I have to work in the morning. Hope the rest of your week is wonderful. Thanks for looking!!
