"SENIOR-ita" Wanda

Sharing a card I made today using a new stamp that I picked up this past weekend while picking up my stuff from the garage sale.

It was love at first sight.

Meet "SENIOR-ita" Wanda by Stampingbella!

I used a sketch by FMS but of course I am too late.

It's not easy ~ STS19

And we are back with a new sketch!

Meet Seize the Sketch 19 designed for us by Jessi!

This was such a fun sketch to play with and having just received a big shipment of stamps from Art Impressions, of course I had to use one.

Yep, that is exactly how I look when I go up to the cabin with my girlfriends and we spend the day floating on the river!

Don't you just love Sally Swimmer?

Make sure you head over to the STS blog and check out what the rest of the design team created with this sketch.

Stayin' Afloat

Hello I am up on the Art Impressions blog today sharing a card that I created using the Girlfriends Stayin' Afloat set.

It reminds me of summers with my Girlfriends floating down the river at the cabin.

I hope you will stop by and say hello.

imagine ~ cardabilities #97

Made a quick card this morning before running out to look for a new washer and dryer.

Don't know what it is, but I think I have a thing for butterflies! Must be spending too much time with my Mother-in-law as she loves them too. 

I played along with this weeks cardabilities sketch.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

happiness ~ STS18

Today I am sharing a card with you that I created for Seize the Sketch #18!

This fabulous sketch was designed by Jessica this week.

Here is my take on her sketch. As you can see I did change the oval to a tag. Papers and embellishments are from the Crate Paper 'Styleboard' by Maggie Holmes.

Hope you will play along this week.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

happy birthday ~ RS110

I played along with this weeks retro sketches challenge.

This was going to be a quick less than 10 minute card, but truth be told it took me like 15 minutes to pick out 3 papers I was happy with.

I used papers by BasicGrey from the Fresh Cuts collection, stamp and ink by Papertrey ink and my favorite embellishment enamel dots.

Here is the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

With Sympathy

I had all these odds and ends from leftover projects sitting on my desk for a few weeks now, so today I decided to make a quick card.

I love when a card comes together quickly and all you need to add is a little bit of gold and black splatter to call it complete.

On the inside I stamped with sympathy as butterflies always remind me of that. I will add it to my box of cards that I use.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Only in Minnesota

This is a photo of my backyard within a 12 hour time period that started last night and ended late morning.

The bad news we got about 12" of new snow and the good news is we are going to be in the 50's and 60's in a few days so it won't last long.

I played along with a couple challenges and created this card.

I absolutely love the new Hero Arts stencils and matching stamps.

I am entering this into the Virginia's View Challenge #2 

the newest Card Concept 7 Challenge.
