My parents are still visiting, and while it is wonderful to have them here, I am going a little crazy knowing that all my favorite blogs, stamping companies, and challenges are out in the blogosphere posting interesting things that I don't have time to see. I think I have a problem.
Feeling a bit like a high schooler sneaking around behind my parent's back, I managed to sneak into my craft room for a few moments today to make a card for this week's Muse #27. Now, I had to make a card this week, because the muse is one of my very favorite bloggie friends and besties--Tracey McNeeley. And, my card was super quick to make because I pretty much duplicated Tracey's card--good design will do that to me.

| Tracey's Card |
I used Pretty Peonies, a sentiment from PTI Mini Blooms, Hero Arts Fresh Tomato, SU Pear Pizzazz and PTI Winter Wisteria Ink, and some sequins that Kim, Tracey and I split.
Gotta get back to the 'rents.
Thanks for stopping by.
Joyce this is so gorgeous, and you did make it your own. Love your design and those colours are fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing with us this week at the Muse Card Challenge and thank you for your sweet words! xo

Do you think we should start a BCA? Blog Challenges Anonymous. lol I'm like you. I hate to miss a challenge. You did a great job for a quick sneak.
ReplyDeleteOoooh. So so pretty!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Joyce! I wouldn't have thought to pair those colours together, but they look great!
ReplyDeleteJoyce I love the idea of you sneaking off to your craft room! I think we definitely have a problem - maybe we need a 12 step programme? I think your take on this challenge is just beautiful. CAS perfection. Enjoy the rest of your time with the 'rents.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous take on the muse card. Dare I say I like yours even better? :)
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem - I hate when 'life' gets in the way of crafting and blogging! lol! I love your vibrant take on Tracey's Muse card - thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 'quickie' card! I know just how you feel too. We are having company on Friday and taking two of the grandchildren on a little trip on Saturday and I am already wondering about missing things for a whole week!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! so glad that you were able to get some crafting done in the midst of visiting!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate when life (or parents) get in the way of crafting!? I'm glad you snuck away - this is truly lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Joyce - I'm having crafting/blogging withdrawals already in anticipation of an upcoming vacation!
ReplyDeleteI love your take on Tracey's card! Beautiful colors and your flowers are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card - your flowers are so pretty xx
ReplyDeleteJoyce, so pretty. Another favorite, Pretty Peonies.
ReplyDeleteYou were so naughty, sneaking around like that! What would your children say?!! I've been feeling like that all summer ... so many posts I've missed, but the kids aren't going to want to hang out with me forever so I've got to take advantage of it while I can, especially in the summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card!
Beautifully bright card, really lovely version of Tracey's card. So glad you had a 'sneaky moment' to share this with us! :) x
ReplyDeleteLove those stamps & the inks you used--terrific card!
