Splashes of Watercolor

Here’s a different kind of card….for me anyway!  But I think I really like it! I started out with this week’s 2 Sketches 4 You sketch and threw in the Technique Lovers Challenge TLC205 at Splitcoast to use pleated paper.  I took me a while to decide how to use the pleated panel, but I […]

LOL!!  Well, I bet someone thinks she’s one HOT little number!!   I made this card for the Color Throwdown #27, which is hosted by the mega-talented Cathy Indelicato this week!!  Here are this week’s colors: By the way, did you see that Maria of Stamping with M won the Featured Stamper title this week?  You […]

Today’s Featured Stamper at SCS is Vicky Gould!  She’s a wonderful stamper and her gallery is full of so much inspiration!  Congratulations, Vicky!  This is a well-deserved honor! Here is her card – Star of Wonder – that I chose to CASE.   Isn’t it beautiful?  I used her ideas of layering the focal image on […]

I didn’t get to make a card for the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge last week, so I wanted to be sure to fit one in this week.  And boy, is this just under the wire!  The cut off is midnight and it’s now 10:43 p.m.!   Oops, I just realized the cut off is midnight […]

How about another pink Valentine??  Oh, why not!!?? I’m hosting this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, and I just love this color combo for a “hot pink” Valentine: I’m using my Love Banner image again!  It’s just too much fun!   Like yesterday’s bookmark, this card has a lot of texture.  I used several colored images to […]

Wow, it  seems like it’s been forever since I played in one of the Dirty Girl/Alumni challenges at SCS.   And it probably has!   I couldn’t resist this month’s challenge though.  “Feel the Love” is just too tempting to pass up! Jodi Collins (Kharmagirl) from Stamping A Latte is our hostess this month.  Here are the […]

I definitely wanted to play along with Jen’s SFYTT sketch this week.  Have you checked out all the happenings on her blog?   She giving away loads of blog “tarts” but the most important thing to remember is that all the cards made and sent are for a very worthy cause.  Check out all the […]

Well, I don’t think I’ve ever made a mostly black Valentine card before!!  But I just love this Basic Grey paper (Seed from the Granola collection) and thought it went really well with the sweet little birdhouses. It may be strange that this little stamp came to mind when I first saw Taylor’s sketch for […]

Do the young people now even know what that means?  There used to be a song back in the “olden days” that was called “Sealed With a Kiss”, by Bobby Vinton.  At least that’s the first one I remember.  I just looked it up on Leo’s Lyrics (www.leoslyrics.com) and found a few more who sang […]

I’m playing along with the CPS99 sketch this week.  Here’s the link to the post on the CPS blog and here’s the sketch: Doesn’t Tami come up with the coolest sketches? I flipped it on it’s side to put the 3 embellishments at the bottom. Let me tell you that it was NOT easy putting […]
