Hope

 

Hi friends.  I am playing along with CASology and CAS(E) this sketch for today's card.  The cue word for CASology is Hope and when I think of the word Hope, I immediately think of Breast Cancer and the many other cancer's out there.  Breast cancer awareness is near and dear to my heart though because my sweet Mother-In-love lost her battle 3 years ago.  She fought long and hard.  I thought of her the whole time I was making this card.  I miss her!!  This one is for you-Mimi!  

 

I loosely followed the sketch.  :)  

I am also entering this in Simon Says - Anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Monday Mood Board

Hi friends.  Today's card is inspired by Dawn's Monday Mood Board.  Love these.  Here is the inspiration:

I was inspired by coral and blue.  I am loving these two colors together lately.  I made the base of my card thinner so that it will still fit into a regular size envelope even though the pinking squares hang off the sides a bit.

I am entering this over at Simon Says - Anything goes.

FMS79 & MUSE

Hi friends.  I have to admit that my mojo has been missing the past few days.  Thankfully, it has returned.  I followed a sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for this card and was also inspired by this week's MUSE:  Ardyth Percy-Robb.  I love Ardyth's creations, she is a very talented papercrafter.  Here is the sketch and Ardyth's card:

For the sketch I used my new Borders scoring plate to create the scallops and the dots and I was inspired by the many circles in Ardyth's card.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Retro sketches #56 & Merry Monday

 

Hi friends.  Today I was inspired to play along with Retro Sketches and wanted to combine Merry Monday challenge as well but, realized AFTER my card was finished that it didn't fit in any of the tic-tac toe spots unless, my twine can count as ribbon?  ;)  Here is the sketch and the tic tac toe board:

 

I went straight across the top with Animal, DSP and ribbon (twine).  :)

StampNation challenges

 

Hi friends.  Quick post for me today.  I made this card for last week's challenge at StampNation.  We were to make a card using anything that makes you think Spring.  Bright colors and umbrellas certainly make me think of spring.  My next card is for a sketch challenge that was posted today.

 

Here is the sketch:

  I flipped my card to horizontal instead of vertical as shown in the sketch.

I am going to get outside while the sun is shining.  :)  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
