Flourishes Timeless Tuesday

Happy Tuesday guys!!!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend??? We did something fun on Saturday...the girls were invited to a birthday party at a *Pottery Store*. While they crafted their little pottery items...I had a chance to make/design my own *Jewelry* out of specialty glass and clear glass - I designed a ring and some earrings!!! Oh - I can't wait to share it with you this week....I should be able to pick my new creations up on Wednesday - wahooooo!!!

Other than that I was working on some cards......and of course I'm ready to show off my card for the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge -FTTC35 today!!!

Since it's the last Tuesday of the month we have a Guest Designer for you. Please welcome Francie Gumprecht (aka *Francie G* on SCS)!!! Welcome Francie and thank you for hosting todays FTTC!!!

Francie is challenging us to *Extend our creations outside the frame*. Whether your want to make a dimensional piece or use subtle cut lines, the look is to go beyond the frame you choose for your card. We can't wait to see what you create!?!?

Here is my take on it.....




















I used the yummy Strawberries Set.

The image was colored with Copic Marker and Prisma Markers. After coloring I added some Royal Red & Olive Green Shimmerz to the leaves and strawberries.

The frame was created with the Bigz Top Note and the Largest Oval Spellbinder Die. I raised some of the leaves and flowers up with Stampin' Dimensionals to create the *outside of the frame* look.

At last I decorated the card with some Silver Pearls and the Red Gingham Ribbon. The sentiment was inked in Basic Black and I pierced right below it.

Hope we have inspired you to play along?!?

Please stop by Betty, Cindy, Dee and Kimberly's blog for close ups on their cards!!!

FS138 Let us Begin

Happy Sunday everyone!!!

Here is a quick card I made before heading to bed.....it's for our FS138 *NancyRuth*!!!

You probably all know he already...she has definitely been around for a long time and I'm so happy she was chosen this weekend!!! Congratulations Nancy!!!

Nancy's gallery is like a treasure box - lots of awesome eye candy!!! I had a hard time deciding which one to case, but since it's late and I had a long day...I figured I'd do something more simple!!!

I found this beauty and turned it into this card.......




















I changed the sentiment, the colors and the size.

The Stamp Set is called Let us Begin from Our Daily Bread Designs. The Design Paper is from the Raspberry Tart Collection and I added some Pink Pirouette CS as well. The card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".

OCC Here for You, IC199 Happy Birthday

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

Hope you all have time to stamp along with us??? Dana has challenged us to another fun OCC Challenge!!! It's all about *Monochromatic* color choices!!!

You know what...sometime I can pull it off just like that and then sometimes I have to think realy, really hard about it.....?!? My card today took me forever...I changed colors, layout etc around at least 10 times !!!

But then I came across the Christmas Cocoa Specialty DP.....which one of the DP sheets matches the Friends 24/7 Set and than I was saved - wahooooo!!!




















Please stop by the OCC Blog and check out all the samples. I hope we have inspired you to play along???

************************************************

This card is my submission for the IC199 - The Pajama Squid. I used this fun little hairclip as my inspiration piece!!! I wasn't to crazy about the colors...so I took my color inspiration from this cute little hairclip. What can I say...we love *pink* around here - he,he,he!!!

I continued with the OCC *monochromatic* theme and stayed with the *pink colors*.



















The butterfly is from the SU Stamp Set Great Friend. The sentiment is from the A Little Birthday Cheer.

I used the Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry colors.

The layout is from the VLVSep04 Sketch...which I'm super late for and I did it without the twist!!! Plus I changed the size to 4 1/4" x 4 1/4".

At last I added some piercing, the Silver Pearls and the Pretty in Pink Ribbon.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!! Enjoy wonderful weekend!!!
