Retro #64

May21

Today’s card is for a Fabulous Sketch over at Retro Sketches #64.

 As soon as I saw it, I was hoping I would have some time to play along.

 I have made two additional cards this week and didn’t get either of them linked up on time…UGH!

Hate when that happens, but in the grand scheme of life is that really what matters?

I get upset with myself when I get upset about something so petty when there is tragedy surrounding us each and everyday!

Watching the news just breaks my heart!! Those children and teachers must have been so frightened!

 God Bless all of them!

So, today I will be thankful for the little things and the things that don’t get done….really don’t matter after all.

The Dynamic Duos are Celebrating a One Year Anniversary!

To celebrate they are asking us to create a project using one of our PAST COLOUR COMBOS.

I chose this one!

 Pink and Black look amazing together…don’t ya think?

If this card looks familiar I made one almost like it a few months back and

I decided I liked it so well that I would do it again with some sentiment changes!

Hello Friends,

Just wanted you to know that I had a death in the family and that is why I haven’t posted in over a week!

I took a quick trip to Boston and just got back late Monday night!

The service for my sister in law was wonderful and although funerals are always tough,

I am so very glad Diane is not suffering anymore.

The trip was very quick and exhausting and I ended up very ill on my return,

but it was wonderful being with family and making new friends.

I have two cards I would like to post that I made recently and haven’t had a chance to show you.

I posted them over at Stamp TV earlier this month for a couple of their challenges.

The first one is a skinny card challenge…it measures 2 1/2 x 5.

I will be making more of these…so fun!

The second one is a paper piecing card.

Not sure if the photo shows,

but I paper pieced the main flower and raised it up with pop dots.

If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to ask.

I am going to make this quick so I can head to bed!

CASEing someone…

Feb23

Long time no post, but I am back and Rip Rarring to Go!

Over at Stamp TV this week the challenge was to CASE a fellow Stamp TV member and here were the requirements…

For those of you that are new to the term “CASE”, it means to copy a design of another card maker and give her/him credit when you post it.

We understand that you may not have the exact embellishments, etc. to make an exact copy, but get as close to you can.

The objective is to show appreciation for another STV members card creation.

Here is the Fabulous Card I chose to CASE from the Design Team member Kay!

I enjoyed making this card so much and it was so quick and easy that I decided to make 3!

Here is the first one!

I am also Linking the first one up in this weeks Freshly Made sketch challenge!

Over at the Dynamic Duos this week they have a great color palette of “Soft and Subtle.”

This week’s colors are Pink Pirouette and Pool Party. I adore soft colors!

The card was also linked up to a Sketch challenge over at Stamp TV and

a Masking Challenge over at JUGS!

If you don’t know how to/or what the heck masking is, you have to try it!!!

 I have also linked up 2 great tutorials from SCS and Stamp TV for you to check out

which will help explain it better!

The bling added to the top off my card was sent to me from Jennie @ Stampin Away the Day.

 I felt like I won the lottery when I received the package filled with Bling on Saturday!

Thanks so much Jennie!

Although, I have never met Jennie personally,

she is someone that made me feel so welcome when I first ventured down this road of Stamping,

and I so appreciate her kindness over the years!

Okay, I am off of work today and headed to the doctor to see what’s up with my throat!

Hope you have a great Monday friends,

I don’t have much time so I will cut right to the chase today!

Today’s card is for the Sketch Challenge #49 over at Retro Sketches.

I loved the idea of creating something vertical so as soon as I saw it I knew I was going to play along.

I decided to get off the band wagon and change up the sentiment to something besides Valentines!

Here is the Sketch, followed by my card!

Happy Weekend !

I have another card to share with you this evening!  For quite sometime I have been wanting to take a paperback book and make a card with its pages, but never could bring myself to rip up a perfectly good book.  Well, a few weeks ago while I was at work on the playground I found a book that had been left out in the rain and it was in terrible shape. Needless to say I was thrilled!  The kids thought I was crazy when I said I was keeping it.  LOL Anyways, so here is what I did with it!  I am also entering this in a challenge blog I came across today called Shopping Our Stash…they asked us to create something using our oldest ribbon.  This ribbon came from my husband’s art room.  A parent gave him a huge bag full over 10 years ago and I haven’t even began to put a dent in it.  I have every color under the rainbow!  Lucky me!  I am happy with the layout of the card, but if I had it to do over I would have picked a better page of text…I keep seeing the words…lame…lame  lame in the text and it doesn’t look very good!  Oh well! :/  The flowers and the sentiment is from Stamp TV.

I was never so excited than to ink up some new Gina K Design stamps on Saturday afternoon.  Who am I kidding I was in the studio all day, not just the afternoon. :)  It was a good day!  Today’s card is for a few different challenges on the web; Dyanmic Duos, Just Add Ink, and CAS(E) This Sketch. If you have time go check them out and while your at it go on over to Stamp TV and check out Gina K’s stamps…I think they are the most high quality stamps that I own, and my new ones are no exception.  They have lots and lots to chose from…so I am warning you, you will be there awhile.  I have a page over there too you can check out if you want to.

Okay now onto the card~ I love red and black together don’t you?
