Sending Wishes Your Way...

Hi Everyone!

It's time for another lovely sketch over at Atiantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  I'm not sure about the rest of the Design Team, but this sketch really pushed me outside my comfort zone but I love the result!  Make sure you swing by the challenge blog on a Wednesday to check out the rest of the creations by the amazing Design Team,  while you are there, why don't you play along with us??

 

My card this week was made especially for my 80-something year old neighbour who fell last week and broke her hip.  So very sad.  But she is one feisty lady and I hope this little card helped to brighten her day just a little.

I decided that I would also play along in this week's colour challenge over at Colour Me...!  Such a gorgeous combination - Elegant Eggplabt, Old Olive and Coastal Cabana.  I, unfortunately, had to do some swaps so the colour combination that I actually used was Perfect Plum, Mossy Meadow and Lost Lagoon.  I know the girls won't mind...

Here is my creation:

Colour Me...Subtle!

Hi Everyone,

I'm back again with my 3rd week over at Colour Me...! - these ladies are just so talented and so inspirational to me.  It has been so amazing so far!

This week is a subtle week:

I am truly loving the new In Colours from Stampin' Up!  Well, I guess they aren't that *new* anymore but they are so much more fun than I thought they were going to be.  Lost Lagoon is definitely one of my favourites!

Here is my card for this week:

Everyone Has a Rainy Day...

Hi Everyone,

In the midst of getting ready to head back to the East Coast to Newfoundland for my Mom's Family Reunion, I took some time today to get crafty.  I have so much to do and so very little time to do it in but seriously, who can resist taking a little time out to do what you enjoy??  Especially since I will be away from my crafty space for the next month!  Don't worry, I took some time to prepare and schedule blog posts so that I am able to keep up to date with you guys. :)

Today, I decided to play along with the GORGEOUS colour combination over at Colour Me...!  This week is Lost Lagoon (a new favourite of mine!), Island Indigo, Smoky Slate and a neutral.  Love it!

I also wanted to play along with the FABULOUS sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge:

Here is my card for these challenges:

If you are looking for the Island Indigo, both the sentiment and the umbrella are in that colour.  I just love this new Stampin' Up! Hostess Set - Life's Adventure - every image in there is just so darn cute!

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Smoky Slate, Whisper White, Moonlight DSP Stack

Stamp Sets: Life's Adventure (Hostess)

Ink: Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Island Indigo

Tools/Techniques: Chalk Talk Framelits, Basic Grey Baker's Twine

I would love if you would take some time to follow my blog!
