A Sketch and The Pink Elephant!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL Memorial Day! We are having a cookout later and other outdoor activities with the kids.

This week at TPE, Robin has a great sketch. This is my take on the sketch. I stitched a half circle and added this sentiment from PI. Then added some rub-ons and the ribbon and primas. Just a quick simple card.

I love these colors from Papertrey Ink. They are so soft and elegant looking.

These last few months have been so hot and dry that things have begin turning brown, and it just hasn't looked the same around here. All the ponds and lakes have been drying out and water animals have been struggling in some areas to stay alive. However, this past week it has rained almost constantly it seems like and it has been such a BIG blessing. We have enjoyed all of the rain. As I was making this card it made me think of all the rain, these colors seem to speak of rainy days. I hope it continues to rain for at least a few more days, we need it...

The Pink Elephant and A Color Challenge!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone, I sure hope you enjoyed your day yesterday. This card is made for TPE color challenge which is to use light blue, medium blue, and green. This dp fit perfectly and since I wanted to really showcase the paper I kept the card very simple. I sewed around the edges and added this cute sticker and ribbon. The sticker was layered over blue cardstock and I cut around it using my pinking sheers.

Simple Yet Colorful!

Today was just one of those days. I started out with a certain card in mind, and it just wasn't happinin', so I started over and went back to the basics, I wanted to do the PI challenge and the SCS challenge, and this is the card I came up with. I didn't have all the cs colors for the PI challenge so I decided to use this wonderful chipboard that I had and the colors seemed perfect, but I couldn't find any dp to match, so I decided to just go simple and let it stand up for itself.

It's Simple!

One thing I do enjoy once in a while is a good cup of coffee, and when I seen this stamp set by Flourishes, it was one of those must have moments. So the challenge today was to make a CAS (Clean and Simple) card. This is about as simple as I can get.. LOL! I shy away from doing cards like this, but I am not sure wh as it only took me about 10 minutes versus all the time I spent yesterday.
