Splashes of Watercolor

  Hi, y’all!  Happy Wednesday to you! Wednesdays are always fun for me…..I actually get to show you 2 cards!   First is my card for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge.  This week our hostess with the mostess is Barbara!  And she chose 3 colors that I don’t know if I would have ever purposely put […]

I had to have a quick and cute card for a co-worker who has just had gall bladder surgery.  I thought this might put a smile on her face and let her know how much I care.  I mean, seriously, how can you not smile at a pink Kim Hughes teddy bear and Basic Grey […]

SERIOUSLY!!!!  How can you not smile when you see any of Kim Hughes‘ little critters??  I especially love these sea creatures – Ocean Friends. So when I saw what colors Tammy chose for the Color Throwdown challenge this week – colors of the ocean – I knew which stamp set I would use! I really […]

  I just found out today that a friend of mine (a kayaking buddy) had hip replacement surgery this week!  Owie!!  So I took time out from my cleaning (you know I really had to PULL myself away from that!) to make her a quick card. I colored the bandaid with Prismacolor pencils.  There are […]

I can’t believe I’m actually doing 2 posts today, but I was determined to get a card done for the Technique Lovers Challenge!  So here it is.  I used the bonus sketch (by Peet) at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog.  Love it! That’s definitely it for today!  I’m afraid I’ve had quite enough of […]

I absolutely could not let today’s Featured Stamper challenge get by without playing along.  One of my all-time favorite stamping idols is being featured…the one and only Her Royal Rubberness, Julie Ebersole.  Woo hoo!  I adore her and her creativity!  Check out her gallery at Splitcoast and play along if you have time! Here’s Julie’s […]

I had to go in search of my Riley stamps in order to make this card.  All of my SU sets are in the clamshell boxes in a glassfront bookcase.  Most of my unmounted sets are on my Clip-It-Up, but all of my wood mounted stamps are in plastic containers stacked up behind my desk.  […]

We have a spooky Color Throwdown color challenge for you today! Kisa asked us to use orange, black, and green (with purple being an optional color) to make a Halloween themed card. I’ve made so many Halloween cards already this year, so I wanted to go with one that wasn’t too scary and was kind […]

Last month my grandson Hunter needed a birthday card for his younger and only brother Will. This is the card I made for him. The sentiment inside says “Your FAVORITE brother!” They both loved it! The image is entirely paper pieced with 4 separate pieces: the branch, the owl, the hat and the puff on […]

Hello everyone and welcome to week #16 of the Color Throwdown challenges. I’ll have to admit I had a really hard time with the colors this week. They are Ballet Blue, Green Galore, Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip. I had no idea what to do, until I came across this animal train DP from the […]
