Well it has finally stopped raining here. It has rained every day all day since Thursday. I was ready to build an ark. When you walk on the ground now it squishes. It will take days to dry out but at least it has stopped raining. I spent some time in my craft room and made 2 cards using sketch and color challenges. I got the pictures taken for this one but my camera died…
Second Post, scroll down for the first! I have mixed feelings about this card. When I saw the sketch at Card Patterns I thought it would be fun to do the curve down the center of the card. I have to admit the curve was harder than I thought. I’m not sure I achieved the curve. It looks more like straight lines than a curve. Oh well I made an attempt. Not going to chit…
It’s Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today’s card uses the sketch from the Sketch Saturday blog.

I pulled out my Baroque Motifs and Matchbox Messages sets as I hadn’t used them in…

I used the sketch from Our Creative Corner. This is another card I think I will copy to send to the Cards for Heros and my son-in-law. I colored the stamp with markers and then spritzed it…
Yeah, it’s hump day! I have had so much fun playing with the challenges this week. I didn’t realize how much I had missed them over the past 2 weeks. I am so looking forward to playing in some of my new challenges next week also. Today’s card was fun to make. I started with the challenge from Stampin’ B’s Design Team which was to create a gate fold card with a flower. When I…
