Hello...and an incredible RAK...

Hello!

I can't tell you how happy I am that it is a short work week...only 3 days...woot woot!!!

I was able to get a ton of crafty stuff done over the weekend..I try to do most of my week's cards over the weekend...it makes for a less stressful work week.

Today I'm sharing the latest RSCC#19:

The lavender was throwing me...I'm not a lavender kind of gal BUT I'm always up for a challenge:

The chippie tree is Maya Road...I colored the trunk with a copic and covered the other part with SU designer paper...The apples are Fancy Pants buttons {good for the Cards Magazine blog challenge to include at least 5 buttons!}. The cloud paper & hello rub on are American Crafts...Do you see my lavender? Yup, it is the Marvy butterfly!

The hello banner is actually kind of wavy...kwim? I anchored it down by the "h" and by the 2nd "l"...

I wanted to share another RAK that I received last week. I decided to hijack Yvonne's blog...her pic is gorgeous...check out the lovely piece of art she made me....I know, pretty incredible...it is quite the keepsake...please leave her some blog love...it arrived intact all the way from Singapore!!!!

Hello!

I'm back with

Dawn's Raspberry Challenge #13.

I was going to dig through my various stashes of pattern paper for this challenge but boy, I tell you, it was much too hot for that. I went easy smeasy clean & crisp! I used retired SU Riding Hood Red dp for the flowers and Certainly Celery for the leaves. The buttons are from my vintage stash and the rub on is SU. I'm trying to consistently "dress up" my buttons so decided to slap on some Kaiser Craft pearls this time.

We're expecting a high of 97 degrees today...last night at 10 p.m. it was still 88 degrees...ick. For you peeps that live in year round hotness, how do you do it??!!!

Come on back tomorrow...it's my day over on the 365 Cards blog and remember it is Reader's Appreciation week! I'm teaming up with a crafty gal!!

hi.

I'm back in the swing of challenges!

I was able to combine Dawn's RSCC12 and Card Patterns sketch 24. I love Dawn's color challenges because, well, they definitely challenge me. This week I think that the MME's Out & About seem to capture the colors.

Check out the letters...they are Heidi Swapp's that I've been hoarding...yes, fiercely, that's the only way that I hoard. Those puppies are plastic...love them. How fun is the CP sketch? Perfect-o to showcase the different papers!

Today is suppose to be a scorcher for us...upper 80's...blech. There is a reason why I live in Washington state, for the mild weather.

Happy Monday!

Okay, so I wasn't going to play in the Raspberry Suite Challenge #11 because I just couldn't get it to work for me. Evidently, the more something frustrates me the more I want to "win". Winning in this situation is completing a card that I'm happy with...I ended up liking the end result AND having fun, isn't that what it is all about...having fun??!!

I just adore that glittery paper by Making Memories. It is from their Sabrina line. I teamed it up with the most fabulous Hambly Mini bicycles paper. The leaves are SU Green Galore and you can also see a smidge of SU Basic Gray. I'm down to about 6 inches of my beloved black pom pom trim...sigh.

The Card Patterns #22 was perfect for the design. I have to say that I'm always pretty pleased when I can combine challenges...I'm really not very good at it and I'm always impressed when I see some of these gals multi-tasking in a huge fashion.

I hope that everyone has a fantabulous week!

Jenni Butterfly

Well, this is definitely a change of pace from my Cosmo Cricket cards for the week....

I unfortunately had to make a sympathy card. My friend's father passed away suddenly this week...totally unexpected...sigh. I wanted to make her a card that wasn't depressing so I decided to use Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #9 {dang, missed the deadline!} and team it up with Laura's sketch #28. I think that the pops of SU Wild Wasabi make it a cheerier card, what do you think? I so love the pattern paper by Jenni Bowlin and it pairs well with my crochet trim that I picked up from J's.

I turned the sketch on it's side...the Jenni Bowlin paper is actually 2 panels, the crochet trim ended up hiding that fact. Make sure you check out Dawn's Distressed Flowers 101 tut. I popped a wasabi panel on the interior with an A Muse stamped "in sympathy" sentiment....I just want her to know that I'm thinking of her....

Thanks for stoppin' by....
