freshly made sketches/fms236 - thank you

hello friends! this is a super fun sketch this week designed by the amazing jen timko...I luv it! I have used the reverse confetti heart cover up die and then put b&w striped designer paper behind. A few ink splatters and some enamel dots to complete my card. I also played along with just add ink to use a "h", ofcourse I went with hearts...*grin*. I hope you all play along with us at freshly made sketches, can't wait to see what you create!

kindness can change the world

created this fun card for a couple of challenges and for another chance to use the sweet flowers from the stamp market.....fun florals stamp and die set. The tag die is a paper smooches stitched die and it fits the sentiment perfect, it is from simon says stamp set called uplifting thoughts. Such a fun card to put together and create...hope you have a wonderful week!

words with meaning - don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose.

happy birthday

what fun I add with this little number...the inspiration photo from the card concept is right up my alley...luvin all those nuetrals! the sweet flowers are from the w plus 9 stamp set called southern summer florals 2, the leaves are from my little stash box. I have added embossing paste, sequins, and burlap twine keeping with the neutral look! the gorgoeus script sentiment is from the simon says stamp brush stoke messages...luv this script! hope you have a wonderful fall week!

words with meaning - put your focus into loving and creating not gossip and hating.

with sympathy

I had to play with this weeks just add ink challenge, I adore the copper pitcher full of flowers....it remind s me of years ago when copper things were really popular. I remember my mom having some of the copper mugs and platters. I have used the gorgeous flower set from concord & 9th called hello lovely. I heat embossed the flower using simon says stamp white embossing powder and then sponged over it all with copper ink from tsukineko celestial copper. The sentiment is simon says stamp handwritten boarders. A few clear simon sequins to finish it off. I have used the sketch from crazy 4 sketches and tilted it a bit...*grin*

words with meaning - fill your life with experiences, not things. have stories to tell, not stuff to show.

sunday stamps - hey hi, hello there

a super quick card for me today, still working everyday..so looking forward to a few days off next weekend! I watercolored splashed the background, stamped the adorable butterfly from the stamp market and added the sentiment....also from the stamp markets new release.  A few clear droplets and sequins for a little shine complete my card. Hope you have a great day! 

words with meaning - the amazing thing about God is that even a "no" has goodness written all over it.

The simon doll pink card stock is gorgoeus and matches the altenew purple wine ink perfectly! I can't wait to see what you create this week!

I have used the adorable chipboard tree from the my mind's eye sugar plum collection...this is the prettiest colors and patterns. I tinted the wendy vecchi embossing paste with tim holtz blueprint distress ink. I used my all time favorite stencil simon says stamp falling snow...luv! The sentiment is from concord & 9th and small pieces of scrap designer paper and twine complete my card. Trying to do better this year with creating christmas cards.

to think of you is to smile

 I was determined to play with the inspiration photo from just add ink...I have started, completed, and given up on at least three cards already...lol. This was one of the hardest inspirations I have ever done. I finally just knew I was gonna use red and white and well, this is the outcome....not completely happy but I am gonna with it. I even used purple...lol..I was getting very desperate. I have used an amazing concord & 9th set called love you mean it...so many possibilities. A watercolored background using prima marketing confection pans and th distress inks for flowers and leaves. This was one of those times were I wanted to give up, but something inside of me would not let it rest...*grin*

words with meaning - let the beauty of what you love be what you do.
