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!

REJOICE / RS #145...

Hello hello! Hope you've had a wonderful day! Is it just mine, or have kids just gone completely off the chain with Christmas just a week ad a half away? At this point, I would love to just spend all day in a bath of Calgon!

We started a new challenge over at RetroSketches today, and I got a little funky ~ sequins and paint chips! I used a sentiment from Paper Smooches set, Christmas Sampler.

Have a great night!

PEACE ON EARTH / CQC #27...

Good morning! I so love the Christmas season, but is it ever busy! We've been decorating and went to the Christmas Parade... so much fun! I went for sort of a different Christmas card with this new colourQ Challenge. I saw this sentiment from Paper Smooches' set, Christmas Sampler and paired it with the "earth" from Space Cadet.

Bye for now,

I [heart] YOU SEW MUCH / RS #141 & CTD #319...

It's late, and I AM on my way to bed... but I wanted to post this card I made using this week's RetroSketch! My sweet mom's birthday was yesterday, and this was my card for her. She is brilliant when it comes to sewing, so I thought this cute set from Paper Smooches was perfect ~ Needle Little Love. I also played with Color Throwdown, but I must admit, the colors are a tad different!

Nighty night!

YOU'RE TEE-RIFFIC...

Hello! How's your weekend? We celebrated my dad's birthday yesterday and today went to a family reunion! Busy, busy! I used the set My Guy from Paper Smooches for my dad's birthday card! The 'grass' and 'sky' were made using My Favorite Things' DC Jumbo Abstract Art.

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

PROUD / RS # 120...

Happy Saturday! We're off goofing around somewhere... hope you have some goofing around on your agenda today, too - LOL! For today's awesome RetroSketch, I got a little patriotic! I saw these 2 papers (wish i could remember who made them!) and thought of a flag! I used Paper Smooches' Circle of Honor's sentiment.

Be sure to head over to RetroSketches to see everyone's inspiration and play along with us!

Thanks for stopping by!

HEY THERE / ADFD Showcase...

Happy Friday! We are showcasing a really sweet set this week over at A Day For Daisies' blog and starting our new challenge - get KRAFT~y! I used the image Kangaroo Ballet! SO SO ADORABLE! I also used a sentiment from the Paper Smooches set, Sentiment Sampler. The papers are from a digital kit by Pixels and Company, Bermuda Triangle. I printed the image and the papers for the paper piecing on the kraft paper.

 

Have a great day!

THANKS / CQC #243...

Happy Tuesday!!! It's colourQ time... we have some gorgeous colors today! I got a little funky today... faux stitching and  hazy watercolor~y images! The set is called Daisies and Paisleys from Paper Smooches. The PTI Make It Monday from last week was to watercolor over stamped images, so I decided to try it with these images. My first use of this technique was on this card - fun stuff!

Big hugs!!!

LET'S CELEBRATE / CQC #222 & RS #95...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wow - just W-O-W! Another year gone by.... so hard to remember to grab those minutes and stretch them out!

I finally got a chance to use the RetroSketch, and I paired it with the new colourQ challenge. I used washi along the bottom and the gold circle is actually from a chocolate wrapper - LOL! The sentiment is from a set by Paper Smooches.

Big hugs!!!

MERCI / CQC #150, CFC #65 & PS Sparks Challenge...

Hello! I just love the new challenge over at the colourQ today - these colors are SO AWESOME! I used a couple fun sets from Paper Smooches, Reflections and Good Gab. Pretty simple card. The cutout was made using a large circle Nestability.

 

I used the sketch from the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge and am playing again with CASual Fridays to make a square card. (which seems to ALL I am making these days - LOL!)

 

Almost forgot - it also goes along with this week's Tuesday Trigger...

Bye for now & have an awesome day...
