Flourishes Timeless Tuesday!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

How was your weekend??? Ours was uneventful and very relaxing...love those kinda days...LOL!!!

How about playing along in our new Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge ~ FTTC82??? It is the end of the month and we are happy to introduce you to our challenge host!!!! It is Traci Major and she is  challenging us to a theme of *Summer Memories*!!! With summer quickly drawing to a close, Traci wants us to reflect on one of our summer activities and create a card capturing one of our favorite memories of Summer 2010! How fun it that??? Hope you will come and play with us :) !!!

Here is my take on it......

I immediately thought of our times at the beach!!! My girls and I just love to hang out and and enjoy every minute we have at the beach!!! If you are interested in some of our summer photos ~ click here.

Of course I had to use the beautiful Flourishes Beach Life Set. Unfortunately my coloring skills are not good enough to capture the beauty of the ocean/beach!!! So I decided to participate in this weeks TPE82 ~ Mostly White Challenge....after all these images speak for themselves :).  I matched the beach images up with several different Flourishes sentiments from the ~ Chairs for You,  Friendly Reminders and Sweet Violets Sets. Of course I HAD to add some Silver Pearls for a little more pizazz :) !!!

Now it's time to check out ~ Barbara, Betty, Cindy, Dee, Maki and Traci's  take on the challenge!!!

Thank you for stopping by today...I'll be back tomorrow with another fun project!!! Hugs ~S~

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - my turn!!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend??? Our shopping trip to Savannah was very successful!!! We litterly shopped till we dropped...LOL!!! We finally had some nice rainfall down here too....which allowed me to stay inside and stamp...wahooo!!!

I'm happy to tell you that I'm hosting today's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday ~ FTTC80!!! I created a *COLOR COMBO* for you and I hope you have time to play along??? This one is not only easy and fun, but the colors are sure to make a beauty!!!. Simply make a card using the listed below and link it over on the Flourishes Blog!!! While Flourishes stamps are not required, if you have them by all mean use them! We would love to see what you create!!!

Here is my idea.......

My main image is from the gorgeous Cherry Blossoms Set!!! I think it has become my favorite Set this summer!!! The sentiment is from the Tag Line Set. As I was thinking of what to create for this challenge....I  sort of had a *light bulb* moment..LOL!!! A *gate fold* theme came to mind....I took this idea and ran with it!!! I really like how it turned out!!! What do you think???

This card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded. If you like to try one there is a great tutorial over on SCS!!!
Back to my card....The *cherry blossom* was inked in Memento Black and colored with Copic Markers ~ R000, R00, R02, RV04, Y02, Y15, YG91 and Colorless Blender. Once I was done coloring I decided to add some Dazzling Diamond Glitter to the center of the blossoms. The embossing in the front was created with an SU Elegant Bouquet Folder. At last I added the punched MS Butterfly, a Button and the some Black/White Gingham Ribbon.

Now it's time to check out the gorgeous cards Barbara, Betty, Cindy, Dee and Maki created!!! Hope we have inspired you to play along?!?

I'm also submitting this card to this weeks SFC16 Challenge ~ Think Floral and the TPE80 ~ adding Ribbon & Sparkles*!!!

Thanks for stopping by today...hugs ~S~
