The Open Sea

Today's card is inspired by another challenge from Try Stampin' on Tuesday.  I needed a masculine card and thought their sketch was a great fit for what I needed, and it went together very quickly! :)  I even managed to stamp a little on the inside of my card too. 

I'd also like to let you know I'll a part of a blog hop tomorrow with my upline's group...the Red Hot Stampers and with her friend France along with her group...Inking with Frenchie.  Everyone in the blog hop will be making cards and projects using supplies in the Holiday Catalog.  So don't forget to stop by and do a little blog hopping for some great inspiration!  See you again tomorrow...

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Pretty Postage Due

As soon as I saw the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge I knew what set I was going to use to make my card.  At first I was going to just stamp the set in black making the whole card red, white and black.  That was just a little too plain for me so I used the stampin' write markers to fill in the flower.  Just the extra touch it needed to highlight that corner for the challenge. :)

By the Tide Birthday

 Since I have a couple of stamp a stacks coming up next week I figured I'd better get busy planning my cards!  Of course I love to use sketch and color challenges for them, and that's never been more true than this week!  Since I need a couple of masculine cards I thought the colors over at the Colour Q challenge and the sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday would be perfect to use with my By the Tide set.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hello My Friend

Today's card is a clean and simple one-layer card for this week's Paper Players challenge, and let me tell you a one-layer card is definitely a challenge for me!  I had no idea what to do so I pulled out a set that I haven't played with for a while...My Friend.  It turned out better than I thought it would, and I was happy when I only had to color everything in one time! :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Too Kind

I have a quick and simple card for today's Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  After I decided I wanted to use the set Too Kind I picked a color combo that I haven't used in a while...Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive.  I also made the banner horizontal instead of vertical because it covered up too much of my flowers and looked funny that way. ;)   Don't forget to check out the other great cards made by the Red Hot Stampers HERE.

Clean and Simple Floral Fusion

Today's card is going to be a quick post since I decided at the LAST minute to enter a couple of sketch challenges and one is closing soon! lol  I chose the Paper Craft Crew for my sketch and the Paper Players for my colors.  I wanted to keep it pretty clean and simple when I saw what the colors were and knew I could do it with this sketch.  However I know my daughter is going to tell me it's too white when I show it to her the next time she visits. ;)  

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
