Hello

Going off to visit relatives so I probably won't be posting much in the next week or so.  This morning I quickly put together a couple cards to enter the Viva La Verve challenge.

My collection of Verve stamps consists of one small mitten stamp set, a tiny little banner and a set of flowers and leaves.  I hope I win the drawing -- I need more stamps!

Two cards - two sketches:

Celebrate

Ok, here is the second card I made today.  Aren't these little creatures just the cutest!  Since these characters are so colorful, even without Copic ink, I thought the whole card should be color, color, color.




I'm still smiling.  


This card will be posted to Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes




and Seize the Sketch #24



Have a wonderful weekend,

Warm Wishes

Summer is flying by - I know where the time has gone, but yet....  I haven't posted anything in close to ten days so today I worked on two cards.  Here is the first.

Warm Wishes for two Christmas challenges.  When making this card, i recalled a card I had seen on Pinterest that had contrasting patterns and layers.  I don't usually use two different patterns ( plaid and stripes), but I see various combinations all the time and tried it.  I kind of like it.  The button was a last minute addition.  The tag and white bow just looked so plain that I thought a little pop of color would help and it goes with the folksy plaid.

I used Copic pens to color the ivy and berries.  These pens are great and I need to uses them more.





The first challenge is Festive Friday

 


and then Christmas Card Challenge #32 - Think Tags



Ok, so today is Friday.  Yay.   Have a great weekend,
Kathy

Ho Ho Ho!

Christmas in July!  yay!!

Here's the card I made for  Christmas Card Challenges #31 -- Anything Goes 




A cute rolly Santa with polka dots and snowflakes all around him. 



Though I'm working on snowy Christmas cards, I am off to the beach for a long 4th of July weekend!   Love it.  Can't wait to get there even though a tropical storm is headed up the east coast. 

Take care,
Kathy
