Cheers to You

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed your day off yesterday, if you were lucky enough to have it off. Mine was good, except for the fact that both the boys are sick and consequently are home again today. Ah well, the joys of motherhood!
I made this card very quickly this morning for yesterday's Mojo Monday sketch. I used Simply Chartreuse, Taken with Teal, some beige and white paper for my solid card stock colors. The pattern paper is from DCWV "Linen Closet". I decided to use my much neglected "Happy Birthday" embossing folder. The sentiment in the circle is from an old SU sale-a-bration set that I can not remember the name of. LOL!
So, super simple card. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your day and I'll be back tomorrow!

Love Notes

Hi Everyone!

Happy Sunday. I know it's a bit unusual for me to post on a Sunday; but I don't know if I will get a chance to post tomorrow since the kids are out of school . I am posting this card in two challenges this week.
The first is for OCL's Supply Challenge to use 2 different types of ribbon or trim. Technically, I used three; but it's hard to see the Aqua Mist ribbon at the bottom. So, I decided to add the silver cord around the Poppy Red ribbon (from PTI) just to make it a bit more clear. I chose my third free set that I got from OCL "Love Notes" Such a fun set and it may actually inspire me to make some more Valentine's Day cards. Usually, I'm not one to make a whole bunch of V.Day cards. I don't know, I guess we all have our holiday card preferences!
The second challenge that I'm posting this for is Speedy's Friends Challenge #38. This challenge was to use hearts somewhere on your project. This is a new challenge for me; and I hope to play along with them on a more regular basis.
So, that's all for me. I shall be back Tuesday...maybe Wednesday. Until then, enjoy your Sunday afternoon and if you have it, your holiday from work or school tomorrow!

Treasured Friends

Good Morning Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well this morning. I'm here to share my card for yesterday's SCS sketch challenge. I really liked the simplicity of this sketch. I'm all about the easy to do rectangles and squares, so this one was perfect.
Once again using stamps from OCL! Hey, I got free stamps...of course I'm going to use them!! This time I chose "Treasured Friend" I stamped the image with Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and then did a bit of shading with my Copic Markers. I stamped the two little girls separately and then cut them out and adhered them to the beach background.
I thought that the papers in the "Linen Closet" collection from DCWV had the perfect colors to go with the beach theme of the stamp. I really like using pattern papers a lot because it helps take out a lot of work with the card and helps the card come together more quickly!
I did a bit of distressing around the center panel before attaching the image. Then I ran the edges along my Antique Linen Distress ink pad.
Finally, I added the brads and completed the card.
Ok, I'm off to study some more. Have a fabulous day everyone!

Ducky Days

Hi Everyone!

Here is my card for yesterday's Tuesday Morning Sketch. As you can see, I flipped it because I thought it would work better with the image that I used. I would love to go into a lot of details about this; but I want to get some more stamping done before I have to get back to studying for my test. I will say that I the stamp set I used is "Ducky Days" from OCL. This is one of the stamp sets I chose as one of my prizes for winning the Blinkie Contest for last months "Thankful for You" promotion. It is an adorable set, and I am looking forward to playing some more with it. The pattern papers are from Cosmo Cricket 6x6 Togetherness Pad.
Have a great day, everyone!!
