Hello Friend

Hello!
Happy Sunday!  I hope you've have a great weekend!  We had a nice relaxing day.  It was nice to sleep in a few minutes this morning.  We had such a beautiful weekend again!  I sure have been loving this unusual fall weather!  The sun is just so warm and lovely!

I discovered a few cards laying around that I had not posted.  I don't even remember when I made them or for what challenge!  Obviously they didn't get entered!!!  That happens sometimes around here!

I couldn't help but combine butterflies and sequins...oh and a stitched rectangle on this card!  The "hello's" are cut out using the Hello You thinlits from Stampin' Up!  I added the Papillon Potpourri butterflies and the sequins I had left from my Watercolour Wishes card kit!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Sending You (Lil' Inkers)
Ink: Stazon Black
Other: Bitty Butterfly Punch, Hello You Thinlits, Sequins

Thanks so much for stopping in today!
I hope you have a fabulous day!!!

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #172

Hello!
Happy Wednesday!  I'm all messed up with my days because we ended up having a snow day on Monday!  The boys loved being home and being able to stay in their PJ's and play outside in the snow with the neighbours and their dog!  The boys had a blast!  It was nice to be able to have a nice day of relaxing and playing!

We have a great new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!  The fabulous Linda Callahan brings us this week's beauty!   Linda makes such amazing cards!  Head over to her blog and check them out!

Now, that giant heart is very much like giant circle to me.  Maybe even worse!  I don't know why I have trouble with shapes.  I think the main reason this sketch really challenged me was because was was determined to make my husband's birthday card with it (which was my first mistake).  Once I gave up the notion that this would be his birthday card, it all came together a lot easier.  If you get frustrated making cards, don't worry, you're not alone!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White

Stamps: I Like You, Sending You (Lil' Inkers)

Ink: Basic Black, Stazon

Other: Beautiful Wings Embosslit, Sequins, Twine, Stitched Rectangles (Lil' Inkers), Anytime Tags Dies (Lil' Inkers), Dimensionals

Thanks so much for stopping by!  

I hope you get the chance to head to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the beautiful cards the design team has created for you!  

Have a fabulous week!

Colour Q Chevrons!

Hello!
Happy Sunday!  Hope you've had a great weekend!  I can't believe that the weekend is over already.  They definitely go by too fast.  I am thankful that we don't have too many events planned on our weekends so we do get to spend lots of time together.

I was able to spend a few minutes in my craft room on yesterday while the boys were running some errands.  I took a peek at the colour combination at this week's ColourQ challenge and decided to give it a whirl.

I couldn't wait to try my new Build a Chevy Background stamps from My Creative Time.  They really are super fun!  I may be back tomorrow night with a very similar care (in different colours) using the same set!

Supplies:

Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy

Stamps: Build a Chevy Background (My Creative Time), Sending You (Lil' Inkers)

Ink: Melon Mambo, Marina Mist, Night of Navy, Wisteria Wonder

Other: Dimensionals

Thanks again so much for stopping by!

Hope you have a fabulous day!
