Best Mate

Last card for card classes this week!

I cased this from friend and fellow demo, Justin Krieger at jkcards.wordpress.com

Love his work and loved this card.  I try to have a masculine type card at each class but this could be for anyone and can handle many other sentiments!

I hope you have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Special Day With A Pal

I was so excited to hear from my friend Jessica that she was coming into Orlando this past week and she would have time to come to my house to stamp and hang out with me! We are part of the same stamping community, the Stampin' Pretty Pals. 

She brought me a sweet gift.  It is a tea bag dispenser but she made little note cards and placed them inside to dispense! Loved the box and the idea! Grateful for time spent with another Pal!

Have a blessed Sunday and thanks for stopping by!

Soft Petite Petals

You may remember this card from a sketch challenge about a month and a half ago.  I am posting it again as we will be making this card in card class this next week. I love the softness and the layout, too.  

I will offer the guest to use the yellow twine shown here or the Crisp Cantaloupe twine on the card. 

I hope you have a blessed weekend and thanks for stopping by!

FMS130 Happy Easter to You!

I was going to make an Easter card for my daughter to send in her goodies box.  She still has several more weeks at college before she can head home for a week's break before summer term. I will miss her at Easter!  She loves Turquoise and I looked at my color coach to find a coordinating color to add to the card.  I was not thinking Rich Razzelberry but it works beautifully together with my Tempting Turquoise!

Have a fab Friday and thanks for stopping by!

PPA198 Best Wishes With Poppies!

Color Challenge this week with not a favorite color, Summer Starfruit!  I did remember there was Summer Starfruit in the Sweet Sorbet DSP and that helped with the background. I then thought of a card I saw recently with the poppies like this in a circle. I used the Pool Party and Old Olive markers on some flowers (did not need to ink the whole background stamp) and stamped. It really needed something at the bottom when I was done so I added a few Pool Party candy dots! Finished!

Hope you have a fabulous Thursday and thanks for stopping by!

Ocean Waves for Inspiration!

I captured the first photo from behind my cruise ship a few weeks ago.  The waves were so blue and photo does not do it just!  So it inspired me to take a photo and hope to make a card or project with these colors!

I used watercolor paper and brushed several colors. 

Look around and see what inspires you!

Have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mother's Day!

This is the first in card for card class next week. I wanted to use the Primrose Petals because I have so much of it in paper and ribbon.  This is simple but I think the embossing make it pop! I have not used this set in a long time and do not know why because I think it is so pretty and easy to make great flowers!

I hope you have a great Tuesday (Happy April Fool's Day) and thanks for stopping by!
