Still Crafting

I have four cards for today.  This first card is for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge--Picture Perfect.   This is the first time I am playing along with a Paper Smooches Picture Perfect challenge.  Here is the photo we had to work with:

Isn't that just such a warm and cozy scene.  I keyed off the colors--yellows and orange, the love message in white, and the rectangular shape of the pillows.  I had to get creative, since my Paper Smooches stash is limited.   I used two rectangular graphic shapes from the Alpha Dots set, and stamped a random pattern in various shades of yellow.  I used white embossing on Summer Sunrise paper for my sentiment, from Pretty Phrases.

My next card is for this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge WMSC #125--it's been a while since I played in this challenge.  I used the colors of this week's CR84FN68, which I interpreted as PTI Scarlet Jewel, Memento Grey Flannel, and Vintage Cream. I loved how Jeanne used French Country to make her banners, and decided to do the same thing.  I wish you could feel that beautiful ribbon--Kim sent it to me--and it is soft as silk.

This card, posted by Deb earlier today, really caught my eye.  I loved what she did with her Washi tape, and it made me want to do the same thing with some of my tapes.  There is a certain someone--nameless--who is trying to get me to buy more Washi tape--but I have decided, for now, at least, to try to use what I have.  Crazy talk, I know.

This Washi tape actually comes with random sections of different patterns.  Quite fun, and they have done all the work for me.


By happy accident, I discovered that the chevrons on this Washi tape will all line up when you put the pieces together.  And, that the green is a perfect match to Limeade Ice.

That's it for me today.  Real life is calling my name, and it is hungry!
