DID SOMEONE SAY TREAT? Hybrid Card / RS #188 & ADFD Showcase...

Hello! HaPpY hAlLoWeEn!!! Yes, it's been a while - I swear I have a slew of posts in draft form, maybe I'll start publishing those soon. It's been a bumpy ride the last few months! My card today is for the latest RetroSketch Challenge - it's a fun one! This card is pretty much all digital, the "watercolor" is all digital, too. I did draw the speech bubble, though!

Here are the images I used grom A Day For Daisies... aren't they adorable?

   

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a spooky day!

CELEBRATE / RS #171...

HaPpY 4th of JuLy!!! We hangin' with the family today... barbecuing chicken & waiting to see some fireworks! Hope you're having a great weekend! Our new sketch over at RetroSketches is perfect for a patriotic card! I used a sentiment from Altenew's Label Love.

Have a wonderful 4th!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY / RS #169...

Oh happy day! Yes, it's been a bit since I've been around... so much going on! I have a fun Father's Day card for this week's RetroSketch challenge! I used one of my Wax Fruit Company images - This Year's Tie. I did some paper piecing for the tie and then used Copics on it, too!

Bye for now...

LIPSTICK / RS #165...

Just popping in to post my card for this week's RetroSketch (love this one!) and A Day For Daisies' Showcase of Girly Girl. This image is called Mom's Red Lipstick - it is so cute!

   

And here's the sentiment I used, a freebie for you:

YOU ARE A SPECIAL BLESSING / RS #163...

Well, it's been a long day! After posting the latest RetroSketch, we immediately jumped in the car for a little road trip to Westville, Georgia. It took about an hour and 45 minutes, but it was a lovely drive through little towns. My parent's and nephew went, too. It's an 1850's "town", with over 30 buildings to explore. There were about 4 people in period clothing today, one driving the cart and a few more in and around house performing some task. One weekend a month they have more people who work in the pottery shop, the blacksmith, and other quilting & farming. We had a wonderful day!

For this card I used some old BasicGrey paper from my stash and one of my favorite sets from My Favorite Things -  LJD Cheerful Blessings. 

Big hugs!

PAINTED MUSHROOMS / RS #158...

Hello! This is a quick one today, I either got a chill yesterday or too much pollen during the kids' Easter parties, I have had the worst headache! But here's pics of the kids' having fun...

Anyway, we have a new RetroSketch today and I decided to use one of Tammy's newest images, Painted Mushrooms from A Day for Daisies! Isn't it so sweet?

Big hugs!

I'M SO SORRY / RS #157...

Okay, one more to catch up. This was for last week's RetroSketch. I love this older BasicGrey paper... so gorgeous! To emulate the washed look, I inked my stamps and then misted them with water.

XOXO,

SWEET / RS #155...

Here's another! This one for a recent RetroSketch was made entirely of BasicGrey products, from the Prism Collection. I love this fun collection - very hip!

HUGS!

THANK YOU / CQC #282 & RS #155...

Hello! I have a couple cards I'd not posted! It's been a crazy couple weeks! This one was for previous colourQ and RetroSketch challenges, I used Avery Elle's lovely set, Fabulous Florals.

    

Have a fabulous day!

HI / RS #154...

I'm back with my card for this week's RetroSketch - fun, yeah?!? Everything is BasicGrey - I so totally love their fun Veneer Words! The papers are from the Spice Market collection. The bling is some retired BG from my stash - I wish they still made them, they were so awesome!

HUGS!

WISH BIG / RS #153...

Hello! I'm back with this week's RetroSketch - how fun is this?!? I made this card last week for my MIL's birthday. I knew I wanted to use the candles in place of the three spots in the sketch, and these were the only matching candles I had, so I had to find papers to match - are these awesome? Actually my pic doesn't do justice, they match much better in real life - LOL! The sentiment is from paper Smooches, Birthday Sampler.

Have a great weekend!
