I see if I can upload some pics. I have some nice sunset pictures and took one of the kids and my DH. that I thought came out pretty good.  On to the card at your right. This little kitty is colored in yellow for a challenge on Thursday, and today's challenge was to use something new. Well this is a new stamp from Penny Black, not sure if it is new new, but new to me! The DP is from k&Company and I colored in the kitty with copics. Hope you have a great Friday and try to say cool if you are on the east coast like me!

color challenge


Happy Tuesday everyone, today was a beautiful day sunny 48 . We have had great weather for 4 days I think it is coming to and end tomorrow. This is a card I made today for the color challenge over on SCS. The colors were bashful blue certain celery and pink. We were asked to make a card for a family that is going through some tough times if you want to read about it head over there and send a card out. I did a gate fold card because I wanted to send the familt a hug, and what a great way to do that with this fold.The inside reads A Hug is a great gift.One size fits all.It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange. Now for the recipe: The CS is from Bazzill and water color paper. The DP is K&Company. I used a piercer around the green CS and colored the bird in and used my aqua pen. Hope you all have a wonderful evening. Thanks for stopping. Meg

Hi , These are two more of the card I had made for VSN the one with the pretty ribbon I folded over and sewed a line down the middle.The challenge was to use a score tool to decorate your card. I used my score pal to make this card and put some bling in the middle with a simple picture of DP and a I love you. A silk flower and a brad Took all of about 20 mins to make this card.The next card I not so in like with... I'm just not a all white kind of gal. But that was the challenge. It was called Snow Blind Used a couple of different textured plates and a corner punch and flower , and I called it a card.
Hope to see you tomorrow. Meg

VSN

This past weekend on SCS was vsn . The theme this time was the Olympics and I had a lot of fun playing along with all of the challenges the ladies has for us to do. These are just a few from some of them the first one is the dragon fly embossed in gold embossing powder. The second card was to make a card resembling the Olympic sweater, hence the dear and the maple leaf.
The third card was to use the marble effect background with re inkers.
I love to do backgrounds like this.Its hard to see in this picture,but you can pick the ink to make really well. Thanks for stopping in. See you tomorrow. Meg
