Windy Days

Good Afternoon. I hope everyone is having a good day. As you can see by my recent cards, I am in a springy pastel kind of mood!

I was looking through my Sugar Nellie stamps to make a card for the Sugar Bowl. I saw this one and knew it was the one I would choose considering all the wind we have been having and the damage it caused.

I really liked the sketch and shabby chic theme for this weeks Sugar Nellie challenge. I have not done one in a while because there are just so many wonderful challenges out there but I couldn't resist this one. I hope I got the shabby chic correct. I look at shabby chic as elegant and a little bit of distressing whether with ink or the rough edges as I did around the image.

Thank you for stopping by. Let me know what you think of my card. I love reading your comments.

Autumn Fun, 3CTC36

Good Afternoon. I made this card for Kerry's Thursday Challenge. This weeks challenge is a sketch. I was happy to see that I could use my High Hopes Scarecrow on it. I ordered this last year but there was a mixup with my LSS order at High Hopes so I didn't get it until after Xmas. This is the 1st time it has been inked up.

Friday night I went to customer appreciation night at another one of my LSS. We are lucky here that there are multiple stores in our area in addition to Michael's and AC Moore. We all got goodie bags. One of the items in the bag was Memory box new polka dot 6 x 6 paper. I love polka dots so I was thrilled to see it in my bag. The colors are beautiful. I loved it so much I bought a 2nd package. I used the brown and green on this card.

I thought the top left corner looked blank so I dug through my embellishments. I found some leaves that I bought when a Art store was going out of business. I like when I make an impulse buy and then actually use it! I can't count how many times I buy things knowing that I will use them and then I never do.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It is beautiful here today. Nice day to relax and create. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like my card.

Picking Apples

Good Morning! We had a great time in VT. There were alot of laughs, good food and creativity! I made 10 cards and have a few images colored to finish at home!! I will be honest and say that I showed up in VT with a few colored images which saved me alot of time.

I got to play with my new Sugar Nellies and High Hopes stamps. I also have some stamped images from the stamps my friends brought that I can work on here at home. A good time was had by all. Now the not fun part of putting all my stuff back where it belongs. I took the day off of work so I could catch up on a little sleep and so all the stuff I brought wouldn't be sitting in my living room for a week. Now I just need to get motivated to start moving it all upstairs.

I used this Sugar Nellie stamp to make Kerry's Thursday Challenge card. These stamps are so cute and they are so addictive. I have not even played with all the one's my sister Mary and I bought yet and I ordered 3 of their new releases last night. So many stamps, so little time.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you like my card. I hope to find time today to get pic's of all my cards so I can post one every day.
