Splashes of Watercolor

This week Tammy is our hostess for the Color Throwdown challenge.  I knew she was basing her colors on the Basic Grey Wisteria papers, but I don’t have those (yet), so I found this to definitely be a challenge. I pulled out my SU cardstock of these 3 colors and seeing them together, I was […]

It’s Wednesday, so that means time for another Color Throwdown!  This week our hostess is LeAnne and she’s chosen some bright and happy summer colors. Don’t you love the way they look together?  I’m afraid at least half of the design team had a certain designer paper in mind when they started their projects for […]

As you saw in the title, there’s not much stamping at all in this card.  I guess you would call it a “scrappy” card?  More die cut shapes than stamping. Here are this week’s colors: Aren’t they pretty together?  When I saw the colors that Danielle chose for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, I started […]

This is just a quick post to show you my entry for last week’s 2 Sketches 4 You  sketch (Laura’s #24).  Love the sketch and love this little darling from Whipper Snapper!  THIS is why I have this adorable little sweetie.  Thanks, Shel! Unfortunately, the card never got posted or made its way into the […]

It’s time for another Color Throwdown challenge!  Even though these are some of my favorite colors, I don’t know that I would have ever put them together!  Leave it to Cathy to come up with unusual and wonderful combos!! What do you think?  It’s cool, huh? I couldn’t find any patterned paper with these colors.  […]

Sorrowfully, I needed a sympathy card to send out today.  It’s always hard to make a sympathy card, but I find is especially hard when it’s for a man.  I wanted to keep it simple and somber, yet not dreary.  I hope I accomplished this. I decided to try to use Kazan’s sketch 21 for […]

I was just thrilled to see that yesterday’s Ways to Use It Challenge – WT206 – was to use stripes!  I had finished this card last weekend and was trying to find time to write up the blog post.  Julia gave me the nudge I needed! I found a package of Basic Grey Sugared chip […]

Here’s one of the cards I made with an SU stamp set that had not yet seen any ink.  I used Beate’s sketch WSC68 and kept it pretty simple.  Everything but the 2 pieces of patterned paper is from Stampin’ Up! Thanks for stopping by to take a look! ——————————— Stamps: Rustic Rooster (Stampin’ Up!) […]

I had to get in a quick post today.  I just loved Taylor’s sketch this week and since today is the deadline to submit a card, I needed to post it now.  Oops!  Too late again!  It had to be posted by 8 a.m. PST.  Dang!  I had this made on Saturday but thought I […]

I decided to visit Splitcoast this morning to see who was selected to join the Dirty Dozen this month.  Woo hoo!  Such great choices!  What, you haven’t checked it out yet?  You really should!  If you’re not a Fan Club member, you just don’t know what you’re missing!  Check out how to join HERE.
