My Busy Sunday

I spent a good part of today in my craft room.  My oldest had a lot of homework, and the best way to make sure she did it was for us to both hang out in my office--she with her schoolwork, and me across from her, crafting away.

I needed a thank you card for a very sweet friend who sent me a wonderful surprise.  I decided to use this week's Color Throwdown CTD226 colors, which I interpreted as Spring Moss, New Leaf, Plum Pudding and Winter Wisteria.

My mom asked me if I had any cards that were either blank, or said something like 'thinking of you', so I got to work.

I liked this week's dynamic duos color scheme for either a sympathy card or a somber type of thinking of you card.  I used PTI Fine Linen and SU Crumb Cake.


PTI Larger than Life stamped in Fine Linen on Vintage Cream, with the sentiment in SU Crumb Cake.

I can't seem to get the color right on this picture--but it is PTI Larger than Life stamped in SU Crumb Cake on PTI Fine Linen paper.

These cards are 3.5 by 5--Mehndi Medallion in Ocean Tides and Scarlet Jewel, embossed with clear, with a sentiment from PTI Postmarks.

 

These cards were inspired by this post by Kate on A Passion for Papertrey--the pencil from Happy Trails in various colors with a sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes.

I took out my copics and started playing around with Quilled Elegance, to see what I could come with for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge to use markers.  This card by Lisa and this card by Annie provided Inspiration.  I had fun coloring and cutting with this set.

I am entering this final card into this week's Less is More Week 104, Sketch #8 challenge.

As you can see, I got a lot done today.  I will have a nice big package to send to my mom, and got to participate in a couple of my favorite challenges, too.

I'm not posting a supply list, because I'm too lazy, but please let me know if you have any questions.  I think I covered most of the big stuff anyway.

 

Thanks for Visiting
