Viva La Verve... Week 2 and 4

Trying to catch up on the Verve weekly challenges in the SCS forum. Week 3 is laid out and Week 5 is a "thought in my head"!! LOL!!

Week 2 is a sketch by Charmaine... this has been done for a while but, other Life issues have intruded on my posting. Used Memory Box Minuet papers {these are adorable}, nesties, doily, pearls, SU gray satin ribbon and Verve's oval die {cuts and embosses... perfect for lots of Julee's sentiments!!}. Added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Would love to show you the sketch but, blogger and I haven't been getting along well. I'm having to switch from old blogger editor to new blogger editor depending on which one is on the outs!! Other suggestions for blogging platforms are welcome!!

Week 4... my small brain cells were having a time trying to come to grips with square and round corners on this one but, I managed to make something.

TFL!!
Love when you stop by and leave comments. Hope you're having a wonderful "hump" day!!

Warm Fuzzies!!

I have been "out of action" and no stamping for a few days!! A little virus decided to come visit. Hadn't played in the MFT weekly sketch for a couple weeks and so, tonight {feeling better}, I decided to get back in the swing of things. Used a new PI called "Warm Fuzzies". Cutest little bunny... mine is dressed in a flowery springy motif!! Used the MME Stella & Rose Hazel papers... this whole line is wonderful!! Added some ribbon and buttons with twine in the corner. My card TFL!! Hope you're having a great Monday!!

Seize the Cupcake.... in a Moxie Fab Vervey Kinda Way!!

Long title!! This week's Tuesday Trigger, in the Moxie Fab World, is bright green polka dot cupcake holders with an orange and yellow background!! Talking bright here!! When I saw the inspiration pic I immediately thought of the Verve set "Carpe Cupcake" {which I adore and haven't used... it is possible to have stamps you adore and haven't used... KWIM!!} Perfect and perfect sentiment. Stamped the cupcakes in memento tuxedo black onto white using masking. Since I didn't have any green with white polka dot dp... made my own. Used Verve's Bountiful Backgrounds with Versamark on green paper and heat embossed with white. Three vertical layers of those bright colors with a little divine twine from The Cats Pajamas and a two button/twine combo. Liquid applique for the frosting {prob' not used much anymore but, I liked the effect}.

Here's the inspiration

Here's my card.... Seize the Cupcake!!

How fun is that!!

TFL!! Stop by, leave a comment, enjoy reading them!!

Hope you're having a great day!! Mine's better than yesterday... high winds... old tree.... no entrance to our part of the neighborhood {cul de sac both sides}... our tree.... only took 4 people an hour and a half and 2 chainsaws.... but, we had the entrance open!! And... my sweet DH gets a new chainsaw... how happy is he!!??

Waltzing Mouse Sketch...

This week Waltzing Mouse has a sketch with banners. You have until Thursday night at 11:59 to post. I have had these banner dies and have seen many cards that I adore using them so, this was the push to get them out. Stamped an image from Vintage Labels No. 10 {nestie compatible} onto vanilla using basic gray ink, folded in half and added to the corner. Sentiment is Verve... Love Story. Background is a flourish from Vintage Labels No. 10 that was stamped in Versamark onto going gray CS and heat embossed with clear. Added a pearl flourish from Zva and a pearl from Kaiser craft on the WMS outline. Some prima roses, silver thread, and of course--the banner!!


The sketch....

TFL!!

Much better night for me... if you stop by my blog at all {I was a little "off" last night}.... YIKES, it happens right???

Love when you stop by, leave a comment, appreciate all the kind words!!
