The colors we are working with are Pink, Gray and Mint Green. My first thought when I saw the picture Susie sent me was a baby card, but I don't really have any baby stamps. Then I thought, why not a whimsical Chrsitmas card.

The colors for this week CTD #654 are Kraft, Gray and White. To me these colors are perfect for a masculine card. This card also works for this week's SSS Monday Challenge: Birthday.

It’s been awhile since I have posted. I keep thinking my life will slow down, but it just keeps flying by with the speed of light. Most of my spare time is spent watching my two year old grandson while his parents and my husband build their house. I’ll explain all of this at the end of my post.It’s been awhile since I’ve played a challenge or two.

But I’m back for now, and I can’t think of a better way to post, but for the January Twofer challenge #34.I have so many flower stamps, but as per many of us, I keep buying more of them.

I think this is the first time I’ve submitted for her monthly challenge. You can check out the challenge here.
I love stamping butterflies and so this was a fun challenge.
I’ve had this watercolored panel for quite awhile and just wasn’t sure what to do with it.

Gina K has been helping me get my mojo back. It’s been fun. If you haven’t been watching her videos on Mon, Weds and Fridays, you should. Her Facebook page is Gina K Designs & StampTV friends. She also has a YouTube channel, Gina K. designs.
This past Friday was “Smackin Acetate”. Here are the six cards I made with this technique...

Yes, I'm still here. It's has been quite awhile since I posted on my blog. Time flies. Life sure does know how to throw some curves!

One of my favorite Christmas carols, especially sung in a gospel style. I used my new stamp set from Penny Black as my jumping off point for this card. Again, the color throwdown gave me a bit of a challenge. I don’t think of black much when I think of Christmas and just this week, I saw a news blurb about black Christmas trees, but I don’t think I could ever buySuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06749045560693224739noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699571790760804888.post-53768026873520256292018-11-25T20:18:00.001-05:002018-11-25T20:47:51.988-05:00Tall trees
Penny Black’s Tall Trees is one of my favorite dies that I haven’t had a chance to use until today. Yay! This week’s color throwdown was a bit of a challenge for me, but I like how my card turnedout and it was fun to make. What is also great is I can use this card for three challenges.

Each year, I tell myself I’m going to start early, and yet again, I’m behind the 8-ball. So after seeing the colors for this week’s Color Throwdown #519, I knew whatever card I designed would be one to use for this year’s stash.
I really love how it turned out too. I smooshed the background Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06749045560693224739noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699571790760804888.post-69717569069962983312018-11-12T17:23:00.001-05:002018-11-12T17:23:13.489-05:00Fall and Winter
These two cards are for November Twofer Challenge. This will be my first time since Darnell started the challenge that I
could even think about entering. I hope my entry qualifies. Darnell please let me know if it doesn’t.
One of the cards is for the Color Throwdown 518 using blue yellow and brown.

Hi everyone, It’s nice to be back stamping again. I’ve had this stamp for at least a year and finally had a chance to ink it up. I bought it at a local craft show. I think this stamp is an obvious “watercolor me” stamp. It’s called Shady Path by the Artful Stamper by SOI. I took a bit of liberty and made the path a creek. I used my SU stamps for watercoloring: Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06749045560693224739noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3699571790760804888.post-74843459778276170772018-10-29T17:41:00.002-04:002018-10-29T17:45:18.803-04:00CTD #516

Can you believe that this Wednesday is already Valentine's Day? I can't either. It is also Ash Wednesday. It's hard to believe Lent is beginning this week, too.
I spent last weekend in NYC wedding dress shopping with Sarah, maid of honor, Jessica, and Paul's mom, Lorraine. Sarah, said "Yes to the Dress", but not at Kleinfeld's.

This crazy month of January is almost done. I have a couple of cards to share. This first one is for CTD #477.
I had fun using these three colors together. Such a cute stamp set I bought from MFT last year and just hadn't had a chance to play with until now. So sad.

I'm just happy that I've colored for the past 3 days so far. I'm hoping to color every day, but we'll see how the month goes.
When Simon Says Stamp came out with this background stamp, I just had to have it. It reminds me so much of the 70's--with all the flower power, bell bottoms and peace signs.

So sorry I've been MIA for the past four months. Back in September, Al and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary by traveling out East for two weeks. We had so much fun driving to New York and taking the train into NYC to spend a couple of days with our daughter Sarah and her boyfriend Paul. They have been living in NYC for three years now.
