Hello friends. I am finally back from my trip. It was really wonderful to get to spend the entire week with only my oldest daughter, and as long as I didn't think too much about what we were doing (i.e. finding her a college thousands of miles away from home), I remained in good spirits. Of course, I was itching to get into my craft room, and so I found a few moments between laundry and getting the house put back together to make this card.
I made a quick card for this week's ColourQ cQc #237 and Retro Sketches rs#111--actually broke out a new die that was waiting for me in the mail pile--Vespertine Blossoms by Memory Box. I'm keeping this super short because I need to get dinner going and the ColourQ challenge is almost ending.
I hope to spend some time meandering around blog land tomorrow (just like Anita), and catching up on everything I missed last week.
Thanks for Visiting
Love this Joyce, LOVE poppies!!! Gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteOh my...this is so pretty! I love these colors and you lost no time coming back from your trip to make this fabulous card! I love those sweet posies too and all the stitching. Love it and welcome home!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely, Joyce ... there's something about poppies that's simply perfect ... and these are ... positively delicious! Great to see you back ... and happy you had a good trip together ... enjoy your meandering!! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad that the college visits went well. I love the deep, rich colors on this card Joyce.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's a lot of putting the little bits back into their places - well done! I love the pop art look that has resulted from that technique and these colours!
ReplyDeleteDid you realize your last two cards were poppies? That might just have to be your signature flower! Really great die cuts, so bright and happy. You have to tell us what your daughter is thinking about the colleges. Loves, hates...etc! Which one did you like for her?
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your trip! And your card is so pretty -- what fun dies!
ReplyDeletesuch a cool die!
ReplyDeleteThis rocks! I love that die and it's perfect with these colours! Glad you gals had a good time on your trip. Did it help your daughter narrow down her school choices?
ReplyDeleteLike Cathy said you seem to like poppies. I'm sure you know the California state flower is a poppy. Anyway I love your new die......and gorgeous card.
