After the week almost coming to a close I was finally able to put together a card for this weeks Clean and Simple sketch. 

Here are a couple of variations I made for it…

The first card I needed some colour inspiration and came across Color Throwdown, haven't done this challenge before and thought it would be a good way to start the new year!! And the second card I realized I had bought the purple paper a couple months ago and hadn't opened it yet…a good excuse for both creations I think!! 

Day 2 of a card a day in January! Thanks so much for stopping by

Paper: elegant eggplant, so saffron

Ink: elegant eggplant

Stamps: morning meadow

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!!

So for the past couple of years in January I've done a card a day series…just to keep me busy doing something after the hussel and bussel of the holiday season! 

I thought I would start the new year off right by doing a card challenge from Retro Sketches! For this card I pulled out some SU washi tape, then drew the cut lines on the back of the paper to give it the sunbeam shape (don't have a fancy die for that…yet…). And if I'm being honest it did take me a while to to put the puzzle pieces back together again! :) 

I love the sunny nature of the card! Was a fun one to make!!!

Hope you all have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Its been a while since I've taken part in a challenge so I went on over to ColourQ and went with it!!! Pulled out my new Wplus9 set and had some fun!!!! Decided that i wanted to make the circle in the middle of the wreath instead of using the wreath die, just to give it some depth!!  It was an interesting colour combo to work with but I like how it turned out!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

I know that deer are all the rage this year…but I haven't been 100% sold on it all yet. I did however make this card for a friend of mine…we have this on going joke about it and are constantly sending pins of deer cards (among other deer things)  to each other!

A few months ago she made me a card with this deer on the inside and out side of a card…So I pealed this one off from the inside and decided to reuse it and send it back to her!  I do actually like this card! I also used a lot of things from the Simon Says Stamp exclusive card kit to keep it fun!

Hope you are all having a great holiday so far!!! I know we sure are!!!
Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by!

Keep calm and sip on!

I was given a challenge by a friend of  mine who just started selling Steeped Tea. She was looking for some thank you cards to give out to hostesses after having a party, and her slogan was "keep calm and drink tea". She asked if I could find something like that to use. I searched the web and came across this lovely set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps. I'm personally a sucker for anything coffee related as it is, but having a real excuse to order made it so much better!!! 

My goal was to keep the card simple but also wanted to give her a a couple options…I loved the simplicity of this design so I stuck with it!!! Hope she enjoys them as much as I did making them!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
