Let Your Dreams Soar

Hi all.  Thank you to those of you who emailed me or left me a comment about our rough week. Today was much better!  The weather was beautiful and we got to spend the day outside relaxing with friends. While waiting for our friends to arrive, I made this card for the MFT Wednesday Stamp Club Sketch and the Play Date Cafe Color Challenge...



Stamps are Flopsey Flies a Kite from MFT, the image is colored with Copics (0, E41, E42, E43, W1, W3, W5, R20, B0000, B00, B02, B05), Papers are Authentique Glory, and the card measures 5" square.

Thanks so much for stopping by and sweet dreams. I'm off to bed.  :)

Let's Hang Out

I wanted to play with the Mojo Monday sketch (very cool sketch, IMO) and use the colors on the Play Date Cafe (love purples and blues together). Here's what I came up with...



Stamps are from Friendly Reminders from Flourishes.  The patterned paper is from Michael's (sorry, I don't remember the name since it's been so long since I got it), the textured purple CS is from SU, and the kraft and cream is from PTI.  The image was colored with B000, B00, B02, E41, E42, E43, BV02, and BV17 Copics.  The scalloped kraft circle is up on foam tape and so is the punched sentiment. The pearls were white and I colored them with a BV04 Copic.

TGIF!

You're So Tweet

Hi all!  I thought I'd try my hand at submitting a card for the MFT Guest Contest.  They're offering up a chance to guest design for a month plus win $200 worth of MFT stamps and die-namics!!  How cool would that be?!  :)  Crossing my fingers!

For my card, I used my Pure Innocence "You're So Tweet" stamp set and used colors from this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge (apricot, canary, rose and latte).  Papers are Howdy Doody by My Mind's Eye and I colored the image with Copics (0, W1, W3, W5, E00, E11, E13, E25, E31, E51, E77, R20, R22, R24, Y00, Y11, Y15, YR000, YR00, YR23).  I used MFT's Button Quartet and File Tab Die-namics, and I threaded some thin strips of DP through the button holes.  The main image is up on foam tape and I paper pieced the dress with some more of the Howdy Doody DP (it's a real pale yellow pattern).  Here's a close-up...

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bright sunshiny day

Wow....check me out....a whole 7 days of posts....in a ROW!!  Posting often like I USED to do when I first started this blog.  :)  Feels good to be crafting a lot again.

I made this card for the May SFYTT as well as this week's Play Date Cafe color challenge.  Two butterflies were cut with my Verve Flutterby die and popped up on foam tape.  There's no stamping on this card (gasp!...right?)....just a mix of the Flutterby die with Summer Fresh (Simple Stories) and Glory (Authentique) patterned papers.  The sentiment is part of the Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad, and that panel is also up on foam tape.

Here are pics of the PDC color challenge and the May SFYTT.  Have a reeeeeeally great day!
