Spring French Foliage

I made this card a few days ago for the Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge and never got a chance to put it on my blog.  I wanted to make a spring card, but wanted to use the French Foliage set because I didn't want to wait until fall to use it again.  I know...leaves aren't really pastel, but I think the soft colors were just what I was looking for because spring is so close!



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Elegant Elements of Style

Well, I've been a little lazy this past week and haven't posted anything. :(  Actually I ended up hurting my back and I've been laying low for a few days...in other words I've been bored, bored, bored!  I managed to head to my basement yesterday afternoon to make sure I had a card ready for the next Red Hot Stampers challenge though. :)  It was good to get out of bed, but my back sure was letting me know it wasn't happy.   As I'm typing this up though I'm not feeling too bad.  Let's hope it stays that way. :)  Don't forget to head over to the Red Hot Stampers blog here to check out what the other ladies made with this week's sketch.  And if you're feeling a little adventurous why not give the sketch a try yourself.




Thanks for looking and have a great day!

RHSSC - Birthday Butterfly

It's Sunday so that means it's time for another Red Hot Stampers' sketch challenge.  When I first saw this stamp I wasn't sure what I thought of it at all since it was so huge.  Well after seeing one beautiful card after another using this stamp I decided to finally buy it...and this is what I came up with for my first card.  Yup, it's the three blues (again) that I use so much. :)  Don't forget to check out what the other Red Hot's made over on the Red Hot Stampers' blog here

Wisteria Wonder Wings

Today's card is full of butterflies...Wisteria Wonder butterflies.   And now just a little add in here ~ I generally don't like to case cards, but only get inspiration from them.  Most of the time I'll look at a card for an idea and go in a totally different direction, however you can see I've done a pretty close case to yesterday's card as well as today's card.  I always write who inspired my card if it's pretty similar, or who I cased my card from, being careful to follow each person's requirements if they have them listed on their blog.  So, as I was saying earlier...butterflies.  As I was wondering on Splitcoast I saw a card by Bronwyn and loved it because I was all about spring for this month's stamp a stack.  You can check out Bronwyn's card and blog here

Celebrate!

Today's card was the one and only masculine card in the group at my stamp a stack...and I love how it turned out!  Generally masculine cards are usually just "there" if you know what I mean.  There's something to this Feeling Sentimental set that I really like though.  I'd love to say I came up with this idea on my own, but I was inspired by Elizabeth H. on Splitcoast.   You can check out her card here.
