WMSC104- Hey, How are You?

Happy Saturday Morn!! Hope the weekend has started well for you! This week for the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge, we have a lovely sketch by Ms. Teresa Kline. I actually made two cards this week, you see I started making my first one and realized that I have been a bit hooked on orange and turqoise (actually a LOT, LOL!!) and decided I needed to change the colors up a bit.

 

Papers are Simple Stories Summer Fresh. The yellow panel was stamped with the smaller herringbone pattern from WMS Heirloom Patterns and the Oval was stamped with WMS Vintage Circles Small and layered onto a piece of burlap. Sentiment is from WMS Compact Sentiments. Couldn't resist a couple of flag banners.

Here's my other card

See I told ya' I was getting a bit hooked on orange and turqoise!! The orange panel was stamped with the large herringbone from Heirloom Patterns. Sentiments are from Victorian Frippery and Fancy Phrases. The labels 4 nesties have an outline stamped in crumbcake from Very Vintage Labels 4.

Here's Teresa's sketch.













Here is the connection for the challenge, in case you missed it at the top. ALSO, just wanted to let you know that WMS is having a release tomorrow, Sunday and the DT have been showing sneek peaks. Some fabulous new stamps on the way. You can check it our here.

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

What's the Buzz... ISSC22!!

Yep... you will hear it again!! YIPEE!! This has been some kind of few weeks for me, phew... time to slow down!!

Kick starting the weekend with the 22nd sketch at I Spy Sketches. This is the sketch challenge where we come looking for YOUR cards for inspiration!! This week the sketch is based on  this card by Julie Mogford (jules_bmp@ SCS). Adorable, right?!?!

Pulled out a set from The Crafts Meow that I got a while back and hadn't seen ink yet. It has bunches of different hexagon stamps along with some adorable bees and sentiments, just sayin'!! Tobi Crawford made this card a while back and it reminded me of this set (and that I hadn't inked it up) so....



Stamped the single outline hexagon onto some strips of Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 paper (bought two of these as I LOVED the papers) and rounded the corners. Stamped those bees onto XPress It Blending cardstock and colored a "titch" with copics. Sentiment is stamped on white and cut out with Verves Embossed Oval die and attached with a SU clip. Card base and Bees are all popped up with foam.

Here's the sketch

It's your turn....have fun and get to Stampin!! Make a card using the sketch- you can take a bit o' liberty and link it up.... we'd LOVE to see what you create!! Make sure and stop by the blog to see what the other Special Agents created-serious creativity and inspiation!!

Another WMS Hurrah!!

HURRAH!! I may be a little silly...Silly thrilled!! This is my second week as the Guest Mischief Maker for WMS!! First I want to say Thank You for all the lovely comments and congrats that you left last week!! They were all much appreciated!!

Now... to this week's sketch

Ms. Edna gave me a bit of a pause... but, I finally came up with something. A challenge is a challenge... the fun is all about seeing if you can make something that "fits"

Started this card last weekend and I'm still thinking on it... all those little strips- tried several different ideas.... do y'all ever do that? Think something could be changed just a bit?

I love this WMS set- Asian Garden Additions. Don't you just love those clouds and bridge! I need  the complentary set- Asian Gardens -gorgeous flowers along with a bunch of wonderful ditties- Claire always adds some wonderful ditties!! I have seen some gorgeous cards with the branch/flowers recently!

Ms. Edna's sketch...

I'm also imagining this sketch with Half Pint Heroines- brick wall for the bottom strips, cloudy sky with a popped up girl in a balloon on top--bright colors and all those fabulous sentiments!! Yep... may have to do another when my new stamps get here!!! Am I pondering/blogging out loud at your expense... Sorry!

Can't wait to see how everyone interprets this sketch!! You have until next Friday at noon to post to the link at WMS. All the info here.

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!!

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

ISSC21--It's Friday!!

YIPEEE!! It's Friday... which brings another I Spy Sketch Challenge-  and.... a break from work!! I've been working some 12 hour days just to get things done... it will settle soon (everything's gonna' be okay)!

Kick starting the weekend with the 21st sketch at I Spy Sketches. This is the sketch challenge where we come looking for YOUR cards for inspiration!! This week the sketch is based on this card by Paige Grabau  (Paige @ SCS). Are those snails and buttons just adorable or what?!?!?

I tried a little coloring... now, I color some but, not usually this many images!

I fell in LOVE with this TSG (There She Goes) set a long time ago.... yes, I know you have too!! Used some MME papers, colored with copics, adhered-popped different layers with foam, and added some seam binding from the Ribbon Carousel!!

Here's the sketch...



'Kay it's late and blogger (or my old computer) is acting funny. It's your turn- have fun and get to stampin'! Can't wait to see what you create!!

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

Merci!!

That's a big "Merci" to my dad... actually I've always called him "papa" and I'm blessed I can still do that!! He raised 5 (yes, that's 5) kids- 4 girls and one boy (the youngest)!! Happy Fathers' Day and Thanks!! My parents live in Indiana but, we've talked on the phone and my younger sis was busy all day so she took him (and mom) out for ice cream---he's totally addicted, totally perfect to do!!

Today is the WMS blog waltz and I'm finally getting to play!!

Used Victorian Frippery... definitely a "go to" and stamped the square fleurs in SU Taken With Teal and Pumpkin Pie onto some Authentique Gathering dp. Stamped the large circle image onto vanilla and layered. Added some seam binding from the Ribbon Carousel and silver halfback pearls from Pizzazaplenty.

This month is an inspiration pic... guess I love these colors (seeing as I  my WMS sketch this weekend uses the same colors!! Nope, done separately!!)

Here's the inspiration pic...

It's been a busy WE... honestly, I normally hang out in my "craft cave" and love it but, yesterday was spent looking at boats... yep, we're getting a boat!! Nothing fancy, nice, previous owner but, all the kids can tube and learn to ski!!
