Weekend Recap



Happy Sunday.  I hope everyone had a very nice Valentine's Day.  I am posting 4 cards I made over the course of the weekend.

First up might just be my favorite, but I'm not sure.  I was inspired by this beautiful inspiration card at Time Out.  I made a pretty literal CASE because I could not see any possible way to improve on this card.  My twist is to have a black card front, underneath my white diagonal stripes.





I am entering this card at Time Out #24, Lil Inker Designs Monthly Meetup Challenge, Colour Me #58, and Simon Says Monday Challenge Red & Pink.





I was inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #110 for my next card.  I masked the flower to stamp the leaves, so I am also linking up at Addicted to CAS where the challenge is MASK.  



I am also linking up at A Blog Names Hero Small Scale, as I kept my stamping to a small section of my card. 




I finally used one of my new Simon Says Stamp dies--Mod Circle Frame--and made a birthday card using the colors from this week's Color Throwdown #329.  I am also linking up at Addicted to Stamps #131 Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday (without toppings).







Last up is a valentine to put away until next year.  I like to have valentines that are not too lovey dovey and more appropriate to send to friends.  I used a die of hearts set in the shape of a heart, and I stamped some newsprint underneath and randomly filled some of the open hearts with red.  The die cut word is from Wet Paint Cuts.



I am linking this one up at ColourQ #279.


Well, that's it for me for today.  I've got to get my big mess all cleaned up to make room for some new goodies I plan to order tonight when PTI's February release goes live.

    Good grief Joyce, I don't know where to start!!! I popped in from the TIME OUT blog to comment on your card in the gallery and found all of these incredible designs...I'm blown away!! Your card for TO is extraordinary. I'm in love with the way you did the black/white stripes and the flower stamps are gorgeous. And your ATSM card is simply spectacular and must have taken ages to put together. The colours look so good and I love the mod design. So thank you very much for joining in with us at TIME OUT and ATSM, these entries have really made my evening!!!

    What would a Monday be
    Without a plethora of cards by the sea?

    I just realized that rhymes so had to space it that way. :-) You always have so much inspiration for us, Joyce. I'm especially taken with the mod card for some reason. Although that black and white background really drew me in.

    Sorry to be so slow in my commenting and visiting you but between getting ready for 10 days with my grandbabies and actually being here with them I have been just a touch busy!!! But I hope you know how amazing I think you are even when I don't get the chance to come and tell you right away!! With that said - all of these cards make my heart happy and the one with the black and the circle lines, well that one, made my heart stutter a little bit at its ABSOLUTE. COOLNESS. So very impressive how much eye candy you can pack into one post!!! Have an amazing day!!! I will be back by as soon as I can!!

    So much yumminess! The black and white stripes are gorgeous on the first card and I love the contrast with the polka dot bow. Gorgeous bold flower on the second card. Is that a Hero Arts flower? Superfun graphic pattern on the third card. I struggled with those colours but you rocked them here. Brilliant use of the hearts in heart die on the last card - love the way you worked in the newsprint!

    What a perfect bunch of cards. I really like your stripy floral one, but that green & pink one is no slouch either!
