Crazy Card Party-- St. Patrick's Day

This week at Crazy Card Party, Kathryn is asking us to get our Irish on with something green in honour of St. Patrick's Day coming up.

Ironically, my Irish friend has embarked on a big adventure in the next chapter of her life, so I made her this good luck card! Seems appropriate.

I can't wait to check out the green creations by the other Party-Ers this week.

Good luck Mary!

Crazy Card Party-- Botanicals

This week at Crazy Card Party, Rosanne has foliage on the mind...she is asking to see something botanical! Maybe this will inch spring along.

I made my mom a bunch of all occasion cards a while back, including this sympathy card.

Crazy Card Party-- Case a CCP card!

This week at Crazy Card Party, Regs has set a very cool challenge...case a fellow Party-Er! This was hard but a great excuse to cruise through everyone's blog over the last while.

I was inspired by one of Regan's cards from October...I loved the dotty background and the watercoloured flower.

Here's what I came up with...

Thanks for the inspiration Regs! I can't wait to see who cases what this week.

Navigator Memories

I haven't posted a layout in a long time. I decided to play along with the Simon Says Monday challenge..."a piece of paradise." Nothing says paradise to me like Florida, especially on a record breaking cold day like today! Here are a few shots of our local marina...very rustic.

Some paste, mist and sequins seemed in order...

Thanks for dropping by...here's to some warm thoughts of paradise!

Crazy Card Party-- All White!

This week at Crazy Card Party, Dee is challenging us to use only white. I love it! 

I pulled out all the "white" things I could think of, embossing powder, paste, glitter, vellum...

I can't wait to see what white creations the Party-Ers have whipped up this week!

Shine Bright!

Happy Tuesday! The sun is actually shining today making all the snow and frosted trees look gorgeous. I made another "bright and beautiful" card for Simon Says Wednesday challenge this week. This time I went with purple...I dug out my Peerless watercolours, I just love how vibrant they are.

Thanks for stopping by!

Shine it's your day!

I haven't played along with a Simon Says Wednesday Challenge for a long time. This week's really caught my eye! Everything "bright and beautiful." Well what could be brighter than a diamond?!

I embossed a diamond and some sequins in white and then watercoloured different pink watercolours, including some iridescent paint. Even the variegated thread behind my sentiment is sparkly!

thanks for dropping by!
