Cheer Up

Top of the morning to you.  The colors I chose are from a recent color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary, but I didn't get it posted in time before I went out of town.

Gray is probably my favorite color these days,  I wear it often, my purse is gray.  Both sets of my tennis shoes are gray.  I'm turning gray!  haha  You may have noticed that you don't see a lot of green in my projects, when I do use green, I keep it a minimum.  But, if you want more green, just let me know as I am happy to oblige.

Recipe:

Cardstock - Night of Navy, Whisper White, Soft Sky

Inks - Basic Gray, Wild Wasabi

Stamps -  Flower Patch, Cheer Up Buttercup

Necklace Inspiration

How is you day going?  Do you have the air conditioning on?   It's a little warm here today.

Last month, our swap theme was centered on the Flower Patch stamp set and coordinating Flower Fair Framelits Dies.   I love Pinterest for everything I do so I searched color inspiration and one of the first pins was this pretty necklace with beads the color of water on a delicate gold chain.  I fell in love with it!

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Have a blessed week.

Flower Patch For Kathy

My friend Kathy came over yesterday to stamp & talk.  We each provided the other a project to make.  This was mine for her.  I had a great time catching up with her.  She is so sweet.  I have the best friends!

What do you think of this color combo?  I love how it turned out.  The contrast between the Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and Very Vanilla is awesome.  

There's no accessories.  Can you believe it?

Thanks for spending a little time with me today.

All Abloom With Bird

A serene, calming color challenge at CCMC this week.  

I chose Mossy Meadow as my main color  because I thought most would choose the blue.   In fact that would have been my first choice, so I went with the green and made it a little more challenging.  It seems that greens are not most people's favorite color.  I wonder why .  

I had a card sketch that I used but now I can't find it.  Drat.  I love my interpretation of it.  

On a personal note, it's been determined that my grandmother, who is 97, has MRSA & it has entered the bone.  Please say a prayer for her.  Thank you.

Oops I missed their deadline for posting.

An Invitation

Good morning all.  I wanted to play with a new stamp set called Flower Patch & coordinating Flower Fair Framelits Dies. 

First, a year, or so, ago I was watching a design show called Elbow Room.  Have you seen this show?   I loved the color pallet he used In a bedroom remodel on one of the episodes & I still love it!  They are very trendy these days, too .  (Trying not to be an old fuddy duddy)  Thr colors he used are my choice for this week's MOJO Monday Sketch.  

The verse is perfect for this stamp set - "Happy Blooming Birthday!"

I love what I do & I love sharing it with others.  It is an absolutely wonderful feeling to see the result of your very own creativity. 

Please let me know if you would like to enjoy a fun hour with me creating your very 1st card.  I promise - you won't want to give it away!  You will love it that much!

I'm just like every other person out there - we really enjoy feedback from our audience.  Comment?
