Keep Shining

I have played along with the Deconstructed sketch, I have used the stamp set, Keep Shining by Verve. I have used the new paper collection from Teresa Collins called Stationary Noted.  A pretty basic card for me, I am super busy this week gearing up for the Waltzingmosue Release next week and working on SCS product reviews.  I am headed on a shopping trip tomorrow with my good friend Wanda....yeah, we always have the best time!  I need to keep it short, I have to write a couple of posts for tomorrow, be sure to stop back by and check them out.  I will be waltzing with the Waltzingmouse DT tomorrow, my first waltz as a DT member....I am thrilled!  Have a fabulous evening....enjoy!

Hello

I am sharing a CAS card I created to play along with Retro Sketches, this week you can pick your favorite sketch from the past.  I have lots of favorites, this is actually the last sketch and I did not have a chance to play so I used it as my starting point.  I have alos played along with a couple other challenges listed below.  I used the new papers and borders from Teresa Collins, I luv the new collections!  This one is called Memories I adore the patterns and colors in the paper pack.  The sweet butterfly and sentiment are from the Verve release.  I hope you have a wonderful day...enjoy!

Soar .....into 2013!

Good morning peeps, I have a shabby/chic card to share with you.  I have played along with Jen's Deconstructed sketch and the gals from Color Q.....I totally luv the colors together!  The soar sentiment is from a Teresa Collins stamp set, I luv this sentiment; it makes me think of Soaring into 2013!   The papers come from various paper packs; I was doing a little mixing and matching!  I luv trying to see what papers I can pair up together, I luv the look of mixed patterns.  Any plans for the New Year?  We will be keeping it low key; perhaps some time with friends, a very laid back get together and home before midnight to watch the ball drop.  Whatever you plan be safe and have fun!  I hope you have a wonderful day...enjoy!

“And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that never were.”
