Splashes of Watercolor

I’m headed down the road to visit my Mom, so I won’t have time to play today. I thought I’d show you a quick birthday card I had made for a male friend whose special day was July 4th.  Hi, Stevie! Sorry, I just HAD to add the little flower with the knot tied in […]

  Hello, everyone!  I’m hosting this week’s Wacky Wednesday! Are you up for some floral activity?  We’re using flowers as our theme this week.  Whether they’re on your background paper, used as your focal image, or just as embellishments, let’s see what you can do with FLOWERS. My sample uses the Floral Silhouette set (467). […]

It seems like forever since I posted, but actually it’s only been 2 weeks.  I was on vacation last week with no internet access.  But that’s ok, since all the grandkids kept me quite busy! ————————- It’s Wednesday and time again for another Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our hostess is the incredibly talented Danielle […]

I’ll be heading out the door in a few minutes to my oldest grandson’s 9th birthday party, but I wanted to show you how he’ll receive his video game gift. I wanted a robot theme so The Botz Family stamp set from Our Craft Lounge paired with Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo Mr. Robotico paper just fit […]

When it came time to make a birthday card for my DSIL, I was at a loss. I thought I could surely use something from one of my Kittie Kits, but alas, he’s not much of a farm type person.  Then I remembered this post from Sherry, and decided to go with her great idea!  I […]

Woo hoo!  Time for another Color Throwdown color challenge!  This week is Danielle‘s first time as hostess and I have to tell you, if she keeps picking colors like she did this week, I’m really gonna look forward to her weeks!!  I love this color combo: So my card qualifies for 3 different challenges this […]

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 […]
