Cup of Tea

Hi all.  Hope your weekend is going well.  It's been a difficult week here, but getting better so hope I can get my projects for retreat finished and shared with you.  

I have loved this stamp set since it came out a year ago and finally purchased it.  

The image is colored with Stampin Write Markers by coloring the stamp & then stamping the image onto cardstock.  I love how it turned out!

Thanks for sharing a cup of tea with me!

Have a Great Weekend

Just a quick post today.  I have a pretty card using the Tea Party stamp set to share.  Do you see the light purple rhinestones?  I used my Blendabilities to color them!  It was so easy.

Thanks So Much

Great colors !  Just a hint of Wild Wasabi & I'm good.  :)

I used the All Abloom DSP with Island Indigo & Whisper White cardstock.  This DSP is very versatile with many different styles & colors in it.  

On a personal note, sometimes life requires us to make difficult changes & often we ignore them or procrastinate in making them.  Hopefully, I am ready to embrace the changes that I need to make in my life right now.  If you are in a similar place in your life, I pray that you may find comfort in God's grace.  

Summer Smooches

I really like this week's sketch at CCMC because I have lots of paper strips like this but I decided to go way out on this one .  I love how the 2 patterns play off each other and the white background,  

The paper daisy was colored by soaking in a mixture of Island Indigo ink and water.  

Thank you for stopping by & if you have left a comment, I enjoy reading them very much.  Thank you.

Blessings.

For Deanna

I found my inspiration for this card on Pinterest about a year ago made by Lisa.  ( I was unable to find her last name).  My sister 's birthday is coming up & in looking for something unique, I found Lisa's pin.  I still love it a year later so set and said "stamps take me away."

I chose to make templates using my Circles Framelits and then sponging the ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock.   I used Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Peach Parfait & Basic Gray.  Then using my new favorite black ink, Memento Tuxedo Black & stamp set Fabulous Florets I stamped the images.  A little ribbon  & I'm done.  

Anyone want to guesstimate when I might get this in the mail?

Amazing You

Hi all.  Hope you are having a good week.  

I've been busy making projects for our upcoming retreat.  A weekend of creating with friends at a bed & breakfast!  Sounds like fun, right?  

Most of the projects are almost done so can't share them with you yet.  

Mondays brings a new sketch to create with at MOJO Monday.  

Summer always reminds me of bicycles and have seen many on Pinterest.  Then it happened.  I saw a pink one.  Now that I have that info out there, I realize how ridiculous that sounds, there must be hundreds of thousands of them out there in little girl world.  None the less,  I wanted to create one.  However, I couldn't find my stamp so went with the scooter.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for dropping in.

Thinking About Fall

Today I have a color challenge for you from CCMC.  Basic Gray, Tangelo Twist & Bermuda Bay.  Great for Halliween and Fall projects!

Yesterday I managed to accomplish a few things.  It's always a nice feeling.  It was great to see everybody at church.  

Afterwards, I was able to put together an email I wanted to send out.  I'm still tryin to come up with a plan to make that much easier.  It should be easy, but it's not working for me.  I refuse to give up.

Grandma

I'm thinking about my Grandma a lot.  I can't be there with her so I'm making a special card for her.  I bought this stamp set & paper years ago with her in mind.  We loved playing cards and other games so my intent was to make her a card & send it to her.  Inside it would say, I'm on my way to see you!  The more advance notice she would get the more worrying she would do.
