PPA 197 - Sketch Challenge


Hi everyone!!!  Exciting news to share!!  I'm in Seattle visiting my daughter Amanda for Spring break!!!  It's been so wonderful seeing her!!!  I've missed my girl!!!  It suppose to rain the entire time I'm here, but that makes no difference to me.  We have just been dashing here in there and catching up sitting in the amazing coffee houses all over downtown!!

Today's sketch offers so much for the imagination!!  I can't wait to see the creations you offer us Pals!!!  It's incredible the works of art you create!!!   Today's card is in honor of fabulous Seattle area with it's fresh seafood and amazing coffee!!  What do you think?


The fish netting in the back is actually cheese cloth to represent the two panels in the sketch.   The crab was so much fun to make!!!  I found several punch art tutorials online.  The tutorial that inspired me most was from Mercedes Weber.  Her blog is HERE.  Wow!!  What an amazing job she did!!

Thank you for visiting my blog!!  I love to see your comments!!  Let me know what you think!  As always, if you have any questions, I'm just an email away.

PPA 195 - Color Challenge





Hi everyone!!!  It's Spring break here in Texas and around most of the state!!  It's just been gorgeous here the past couple of days!!!
Don't you love these colors today?  These couldn't have come at a better time!!  I'm so ready for gardening and cool evenings on the patio.  Today's card was completely inspired by these past couple of gorgeous days.    Here's my card below:


This Saturday is my sisters birthday.  She has been dealing with a REALLY harsh winter in West Virginia....along with everyone else on the East Coast.  When I saw these colors, the Watercolor Wonder DSP and the over the top cute Vivid Vases; I new immediately I had to make a happy fun card for her.    I used the Banner Punch I got FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog to make the sun burst and the Honeycomb Embossing Folder to add texture for the background.  So much fun!!!!!

PPA 193 - Sketch Challenge



Hi stamping friends!!  It's time for another Pals sketch challenge!!  Look how much fun this sketch is...so many possibilities!!! Today I wanted to make a card that was bold, proud and strong.  This is for all you girls out there when you need a little encouragement!!!


Here's my card:



Today's "Just a Thought....."

Sometimes the
strength within you
is not the fiery
flame for all to see;
it is the spark that whispers
ever so softly
 "You got this. Keep going."


I've listed the products below that I used on the card.

PPA 191-The Bold and the Beautiful!!



Hello my friend!!!  It's time for another fabulous color challenge this week!!! 
Who's ready for Spring?  I am!!!  I know most of you up North have had more snow than you know what to do with this year!!  This is one time I'm truly thankful I live South Texas.  I will not be singing this same tune this summer mind you!!!  We will be begging for some cooler weather!!!

Wow!!  Look at these colors for this week!  Bold, bright and cheery!!   However, I have to admit I was seriously challenged with this color palate!!  What to make?   I then remembered a couple of friends heading off to the islands this year.  That's when I thought of the tropics with the big beautiful flowers and bold colors.  Here's what I did below:




 What do you think?
Here's a list of tools I used in the projects below. 
The prices on the stamp sets are for clear mount.

Oh Happy Day!!!!!


Happy Saturday everyone!!!  I don't know about you, but I'm so glad it's the weekend!!  What do you have planned?  I'm going to spend time enjoying my craft room by working on cards for friends and trying a few new recipes out.  I love to cook, but with working full time; I feel like I get in a rut.  I come home and my husband is usually fixing a box of rice with some egg rolls or frozen chicken tenders.  Ugh!!!  So either I don't eat or succumb to the fast food.  Anyway, I want to not only eat healthier, but enjoy making and savoring what I eat.  I think if I plan my week out more carefully, I'll have tome to actually fix a enjoyable quick meal with a little variety.  Sounds good doesn't it?  LOL!!!  Those are my projects this weekend!!

Anyway, today I thought I would inspire you with a clean and simple card.  This is a quick and easy card to give to someone.    Just because..... 

Here's my card below:


What do you think?
Here's a list of tools I used in the projects below.  The prices on the stamp sets are for wood mount.  Both are available in clear.  I definitely recommend wood for stamps that have mostly phrases. 

Thank you for visiting my blog!!  I love to see your comments!!  Let me know what you think!  As always, if you have any questions, I'm just an email away.  I'm happy to help in anyway!!  

Have a fabulous weekend!!!
