Butterfly Kisses!!

As I said... wanted to participate in a couple challenges for The Crafts Meow's B-day celebration. These images are from one of my fav sets. Also, played along with Play Date Cafe's color challenge this week.... black/white/with a splash of brown. Interesting color combo and I wanted to try!!

Used Butterfly Kisses... LOVE this set!! There's a fabulous "fairy" image but, I went with the butterflies and sentiment.

Colors...

Sketch...

Yes... I took a couple of liberties... sentiment is on the oval focal panel and bow replaces the sentiment, but, it worked (I think??)

Thanks for stopping by!! Appreciate all the kind words!!

Happy B-Day to The Crafts Meow!!

The Crafts Meow turned 1 on March 21st and they are having a celebration which includes a few challenges. I'm new to this company but, LOVE their images. I only have a few of their sets but, wanted to sneek in and at least play in a couple challenges.

This set is called Telegram and has all kind of telegram related images. I stamped the largest "telegram" in tangerine tango, offset, and not clearly stamped for a shabby look. Added the sentiment image and a banner with pompoms.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!! I took an extra day off to rest up and it did wonders for me!!

PS they just recently released several new sets that are fabulous.... definitely on my wish list!!

I Spy....Emily Keaton!!

Good friday morning!! Could be really early depending on where you live. Me, I'm off and hoping to sleep in a little. It's time again for the weekly I Spy Sketch Challenge... we are up to numero 9.
This week's sketch is based upon this card by Emily Keaton on SCS.

Kay'... I was still playing with my new WMS French Country and instead of diagonal papers- I did diagonal patterns-- aren't they gorgeous!! Clare makes some fabulously detailed and gorgeous patterns... IMHO!! Going for the monochromatic look.  Distressed a couple layers and added glitter to the rose (IRL that glitter is pretty!)

I Thank Thee!! Made a card for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge-80 (created by Renee) and the CR84FN- 50 challenge to use pink, orange, and yellow. Yes, a bright one is coming your way!!

Used some new stamps from Waltzingmouse... Florentine Frippery and Heirloom Patterns (bg diamond). Stamped the gorgeous image from Florentine Frippery in tangerine tango and melon mambo, cut out and popped both layers. The daffodil delight image in the center is from Florentine Frippery, also. BG diamonds is an image from Heirloom Patterns stamped in daffodil delight. Sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and heat embossed with clear. Added some pearls to finish it off.

The colors....

Very Proud of myself... I'm early for the WMS challenge and even made the CR84FN on time!!

I am having a wonderful Sunday... a friend of my youngest daughter got married today... it was beautiful but, a "tear jerker" too!! They grow up so FAST!! I've known this child since she was in 7th grade---and she got married today... WOW!!

eta: I just realized that (well, late last nite but, didn't have time to edit) that this card is a CASE of Jean Martin's card for a WMS sketch challenge a couple weeks ago. Stampin Scrapper. I didn't "consciously" realize at the time I made it nor, when I posted, Sorry Jean for not giving you credit!! Obviously LOVED your card so much it stuck in my mind!!

I Spy... a bunny with a wiggle!!

Good Friday morn' starting with the next I Spy Sketch!! Spring has sprung and we're looking at Easter!! Friday brings another I Spy sketch challenge- this week I went with bright colors and a FABULOUS bunny-- Verve bunny and sentiment (which I ADORE)!!

This week's I Spy sketch is based upon this card by Brigit (Biggan on SCS).

Yikes... I sponged and it wasn't half bad... I know you think I'm dingy-batty etc.- but, DANG I'm Happy!! Used some MME Fine & Dandy Tickled Pink papers along with SU's Island Indigo and Whisper White. Used a Spellbinders label (the sponging I finally did not half bad, LOL!!)- liquid applique to the bunny tail and add some SU glitter- then heated-- a little sparkle tail (if I do say so myself) and popped her up!! Sentiment is perfect!!
