sending a bouquet...
Hello... boy it has been awhile! Haven't really felt like creating that much lately and so I have just been working on a few cross-stitch projects that I have going. In an effort to get back into a creative mood I made a card for the current Sunday Stamps challenge. The have a beautiful fall color palette to work with. This is what I made.

smile...
Hello! Popping in with a quick share of a card that I made for Sunday Stamps. I just love the color palette for the current challenge and wanted to make something. The Simon Says Stamp Sunrise Stem has been sitting on my desk waiting for me to make something with it and this is what I came up with.

you are always on my mind...
Hello! Popping in with a quick share of a card that I made for Color Throwdown and Sunday Stamps. I used some pretty papers from the P13 Four Seasons: Spring pad that feature all the colors from the CTD combo. And just wondering, but who is now singing "You Were Always On My Mind" by Willie Nelson, lol?! Anyway... here is my card.

two very different cards...
Hello! Today I have two very different cards to share. One is light and bright and the other is rather dramatic. Let's take a look at the first one.
First up is the rather dramatic looking card. This one is for the current Sunday Stamps challenge as well as the April Pinkfresh Studio challenge. The Sunday Stamps challenge is a color challenge and I just fell in love with the bold, dramatic color combo. Pinkfresh is asking for floral themed cards and I did use at least one color from their color palette: olive. I started by foiling the Daisy Wreath with black foil. Once that was done I stenciled image using the majority of the Sunday Stamps colors. My greens aren't as dark, but I think that is okay. All inks used are from Pinkfresh Studio. The wreath was then die cut with the matching die. I cut an additional wreath from scrap white cardstock and adhered it to the back of the stenciled one to give it more stability. The sentiment is a collaboration between Pinkfresh Studio and Scrapbook.com. I don't know if it is available now. I have had it for a long time, but I think this is the first time I have used it. I foiled it using blue foil and die cut it with the matching die. Additional cuts were made and adhered to the foiled sentiment. I decided to continue the dramatic look by die cutting dark blue cardstock with the Sparkling Diamond cover plate die. I then die cut it down further so I would have the white border. I adhered the wreath and the sentiment and then added some Pinkfresh Studio jewels in Stargazer and Pink to finish the card. Here is a close up of the foiled sentiment.
Now for my light and bright card!

a rainbow and flowers...
Hello! Hope all is well in your world. It has been pretty cold here in the PNW (Pacific Northwest), but thankfully little to no snow! Hoping it stays that way. I'm popping in with two cards today. I'm very proud of myself for making two cards because lately I have not felt like making even one card. Sometimes I think I suffer from "too much stuff syndrome" (I made that up!). Because I have too much stuff I get a little paralyzed and can't decide what to do. Do you suffer from this same syndrome? Let me know! Here is my first card for Sunday Stamps:

poinsettia...
Hello! I'm back with another Christmas card. I don't really need to make more Christmas cards, but I bought the beautiful Winter Foliage card kit from Gina K. Designs, and I was determined to make a card with the gorgeous poinsettia image from the stamp set. The Color Hues challenge provided me with the color combo. My poinsettia isn't exactly scarlet, but close enough, I think. Well, I missed the opportunity to link up my card to Color Hues. But I think it works for the new color challenge over at Sunday Stamps. Take a look:
Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day.

halloween cards
Hello! I'm popping in with two Halloween cards that I made. I ended up with two cards because as I started making one card, I didn't like how it was turning out so some of the items I created for that card were transformed into another card. Other items that were going to also be on the original idea ended up on the second card! The end results. I had a great time and I think I'm getting a bit of my mojo back. Here is the first card.
