Thanks - {SSSC273}

 Hi there!  It's been a super busy time of the year for our family, between my daughter's graduation, her birthday along with several family member's birthdays every weekend has been family celebrations (which is fun, I'm not complaining it just doesn't leave time for creating).  So now that it's Tuesday I'm finally posting my Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge card.

I used the Paper Smooches stamp set Twiggy Florets along with the Big Vases die and pulled out my Prisma Colored pencils and did some blending on the flowers and stems.

Thank you for your visit and have a great day!

Hi There! - {SSSC272}

 Hi there!  It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

I've got a quick little thinking of you card using the fun Paper Smooches stamp set My Peeps.  This was one of the images I colored for The 30 Day Coloring Challenge.  Are you coloring along?  

I die cut the peacocks body, colored and popped him up after stamping and coloring the feathers behind him.  I added a little clear glitter to the circles on his feathers and some glossy accents to his eyes.  I used tropical teal, limeade ice (PTI) and pumpkin pie (SU) cardstock.

Have a great Sunday!

You're Purr-fect!

 Hello!  And Happy Thursday!  Today I've got some fun kitty thank you cards I'm sharing for the Paper Smooches Anything Goes Challenge.   I used the Paper Smooches stamp sets Chubby Chums and Sentiment Sampler for the thanks along with a mix of Copic markers, layouts and colored papers to make each card a little different.

I'm also participating in The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge which runs from June 1- June 30.  You can see my daily coloring photos on Instagram by clicking here.

 For the card above, I used this week's Retro Sketches Challenge #166.

 For the card above, I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #271.

I'll be posting a few of these cards along with others in my Etsy shop which you can find here. Thanks for your visit!

 Hello!  Sorry I've been missing in action around here, things have been crazy.  Today I have a card that I created a week or so ago for a dear friend of mine, I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set Bitty Bouquets and a bunch of bright colors to create what was hopefully a cheerful thank you card.

I started out with a pure poppy card base then added a layer of summer sun.  I stamped my friend sentiment over to the upper right side of my white card stock and then masked it off with a strip of scrap paper.  Then I randomly stamped each of the flower and stems in different colors.  I used limeade ice and simply chartreuse for the stems and pure poppy, royal velvet, daffodil delight, lavender lace and only orange for the flowers.

One of the reasons I've been so busy is that our daughter graduated from high school this last Friday.  We are so proud of her!  She is such a great kid with a kind and loving heart and we are blessed to have her as our daughter.

 The picture below, on the left is her on her first day of kindergarden and the right graduation day.  As a scrapbooking mom I've taken pictures of each of my kids leaving the door on their first day of school for each year.

This picture is of all three of my kids.  Our oldest son is 20, our daughter 17 and our youngest 8.  They grow up fast, it seems like only yesterday they were all babies.

That's it for me, thanks for stopping by!
