Hello There


I decided to play along with Simon Says "Anything Goes" challenge one more time this week.

I have been playing around with WPlus9's Fresh Cut Florals (borrowed from my friend Regs). I could just play with that set all day long!!




thanks for stopping by!

I decided to play along with Simon Says "Anything Goes" challenge this week.

I embossed some outline florals from Simon and then watercoloured them with Peerless and distress markers.

Crazy Card Party-- "Oh Deer"!



This week at Crazy Card Party, it's my turn and I'd like to see anything deer or antler related!


   

Now I just need to find a "belated" birthday sentiment for inside!


I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week!

Crazy Card Party-- Kathryn's "Pillow" Challenge


This week at Crazy Card Party, Kathryn has given us this beautiful pillow image for inspiration.    


 I'd love to have this on my couch!
 
I decided to pull out some similar inks and stamp some triangles. I made the card square to also follow the pillow...just like I ended up doing for Regan's inspiration photo a few weeks ago LOL!

On your special Day


I have been having such fun playing with my new MISTI. I am stunned at how cool things can turn out. I'd never be able to line stuff up this perfectly. Here's my first attempt with my new Hero Arts layered bird set. In real life the bird actually looks hand painted.




I perched the bird on a branch with little pink blossoms. They remind me of the apple blossoms that will soon be out. 

I linked up with Simon Says challenge this week...flowers.

Happy Mother's Day


I thought I would post one of the mother's day cards I made. My MISTI  has made me love stamping and ink again, especially for multi step images. Here's what I did with my new Hero Arts hibiscus set...




I also linked up with Simon's challenge this week...flowers.

Crazy Card Party-- Anything Goes


This week at Crazy Card Party, Rosanne has made it easy on us...anything goes.

I haven't posted any layouts in a while. So here's a few I did at Scrapfest a few weeks ago.


Where we stayed in the arctic in Norway...


 























Thanks Rosanne for "permission" to post anything!

I can't wait to see what the other Party-Ers create this week!

Crazy Card Party-- Regan's Inspiration


This week at Crazy Card Party, Regan gave us this gorgeous inspiration.    




How stunning is that bedroom?? But I will admit that I would NEVER in a million years choose these colours to make a card. But I was SO happy with the results. That's why I Iove these challenges...gets you out of your comfort zone. And we all know Regs is very good at that lol!

So I figured it made sense that I should use Regan's stamp set too (☺). I pulled out all my neutral inks and had fun. And I almost never use patterned paper on cards either but I love how this matches the carpet in the inspiration photo. And my card ended up square...like the pillow!
