Shimmer Mist Blobs

Well we are off to another week. I cannot believe it is the middle of April already. Time is passing so quickly. Soon my youngest will be moving to California for a year and my oldest will be moving back to the area for 3 years. So many changes coming up. My card today was created using 2 challenges. I used the color challenge from Diva Coffee Break Designs. I combined it with the sketch…

Petal Pizzazz Friend

I spent some time in my stamp room yesterday. I played with something different on my card I am sharing with you today. I started with the color challenge at the Color Dare/ blog. The colors were Lovely Lilac, Pale Plum, and Tempting Turquoise. I didn’t have any problem with the Lovely Lilac and Tempting Turquoise but the Pale Plum I thought would be the problem.

I used the small star punch to create a stencil which I…

When I saw the picture I was drawn to the ivory shell pillow. I thought it would be fun to create a monochromatic card using Very Vanilla. I used the Perfect Details template to make the back layer and added to card base with…

Easy Peasy Wednesday

Glad you came back to check out my Easy Peasy card. This is a card you can create in about 10 minutes. This is a 4 1/4″ square card. I used some of my Cottage Wall DS paper for the background (I love this paper and will be so sad when it retires). I added my ribbon at the bottom. I stamped the sentiment and butterfly. Round the edges of your sentiment and cut out…
