Splashes of Watercolor

I’m just finishing up my Halloween cards.  Good thing too, because some of them have to go to Virginia and some to Florida.  They’re all going in the mail today! These first 2 cards are for the 2 youngest granddaughters – ages 15 months and 6 months.  The 6 month old is dressing up as […]

Today’s hostess for the Color Throwdown challenge is the lovely and super-talented LeAnne!  Her color choices were a little challenging for me, but somehow the card seem to all come together just fine in the end. I started with the CPS132 sketch and the Oh Happy Day Asian Flair stamp set from our sponsor this […]

  I hope you all have started the new year off right by relaxing and enjoying all your blessings!  That’s what I’ve been doing today. This year I’m determined to create enough birthday (and other) cards for a stash so that I’m not always rushing at the last minute to whip one together just in […]

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.  […]

Wow that’s bright! But I’m so glad it’s Friday!!! And can you believe it’s almost June already? It’s unreal how fast this year is flying by! Here’s another beachy summer card for you. I used a CPS sketch because I found it a little challenging to decide how to use the large Rubbernecker lighthouse image. […]
