Congratulations, Happy Holidays and Hello


Happy Thursday.  One more day till the weekend.  Do you have anything exciting planned?  My husband is taking my youngest daughter to Denver for a lacrosse tournament and my older daughter will be at work.  So, I guess Sherlock and I will be playing in my craft room a lot this weekend.

I was dying to ink up my new Bloomers set, and pulled out a few WPlus9 and Hero Arts inks and stamped an entire front panel.  I impressed it with the Burlap IP, cut it on the diagonal and then used one piece to make this card.  Aren't those little black ziggy zaggy bits fun?  They are from WPlus9 Doodle Buds.


I wanted to make a card that was 100% stamping, to play along with Virginia's View #16: 100% Stamping Challenge and Happy Little Stampers CAS Stamping Challenge.   I am also entering this card at CAS on Sunday #62: Embossing, and Just Us Girls #300 where they are celebrating their 300th challenge with the word 'congratulations'.







The challenge at Poppy Stamps #10 is A Day in the Park.  I really wanted to play along, especially since they picked this card from their last challenge as a winner.  But, what to do because I do not have anything from Poppy Stamps that one would find at a park....or do I?  I had this idea while I was spinning...Think of a park in the winter.  Deep dark green from evergreen trees, white snow falling all around and a couple of birds singing.  Yes, that is my winter wonderland park that I invite you to explore.



I am also linking this card up at Simply Create Too #89: Get ahead for Christmas, and Paper Players #252: The Great Outdoors.




My last card is inspired by both the colors at ColourQ #298 and the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #194.





Thanks for Visiting

  5. Those flowers are beautiful on both cards, Joyce. I actually thought you broke out the sewing machine on the first one. The snowflake coverplate over the green is gorgeous. Boston one week, Denver the next. Looks like a lot of traveling going on in your family.
