Weekend Recap



I have 3 cards to post today.  First up is a card for Make it Monday #281: Patterns behind Die-Cut Windows and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge Showers and/or Flowers.

I used Background Basics Woodgrain as my pattern behind the window, and the Woodgrain Texture IP for the card front.





Next up is a card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #218.  I loved the wavy look that our Time Out Guest Designer Michelle showed in her inspiration card, and incorporated that idea into this card.  I am also entering this at Seize the Birthday, where I have used only 1/2 of the optional topping.





Last up is a card inspired by the gorgeous Muse card by Jenni at Muse #212.

Jenni's Inspiration Card



I was inspired by the single color scheme and the flowers.  I used a sunflower stamp from PTI and a sentiment from MFT.




Thanks for Visiting

    Once again you have given us so much prettiness to drink in!! I love the sympathy card, it's just perfect. The second with all of those bubbles is super fun. And I have lawyers loved the PTI simple sunflowers!

    Loving this creative trio. So different and so inspired. The wood grain bg on the first card just jumped from my wish list to my cart!

    Laughed when I saw your MIM card because it's so much like Lainey's. Love the woodgrain! Great minds think alike as it's lovely. Your second one is a fun one, and the third one has those green sunflowers just popping off the card. All three are perfect, Joyce!

    Wonderful cards, Joyce! I used the same stamps for my MIM card, but love how you paired them with the woodgrain pattern! And your take on the CTS sketch is very sweet and fun!

    I love your weekend recaps, Joyce. You always have such loveliness for us, like those blue flowers around the die window. The colorful bubbles are great for a birthday card, especially inside that curvy die, and the sunflowers in blue are perfectly stamped.

    All three are pretty and elegant!!! Love the wavy cut out of the card you entered at Seize the Birthday! The cheerful bubble pattern paper is perfect for a birthday card! Thank you for joining us!
