Mixy-Matchy Card



Mixing patterns isn't something I think I do well, so I tend not to do it.  Putting different patterns together seems to be ALL the rage.  Since it's the last day of the month, it's time to post my Stamping with Friends card.  The theme this month was chosen by me & it was "scraps"  My scrap box has outgrown the box I first started with & now it's a 3 drawer system organized by colors.  Even though this card is made from scraps, it didn't even begin to make a dent in my "collection".  *grin*   This is also for the "Mixy-Matchy Style Challenge in the Moxie Fab World."   There's a lot of inspiration there.

Stamps: Old Tea Rose Flourishes
C/S: white, black
DP: scraps
copics, black side stitch ribbon

Archery Card


While I was sitting at the rental car place, (yes, it has been one of THOSE kind of days!)  I was going through some of the Friday challenges & when I saw that this week's CASual Friday challenge was Hunger Games.  I needed to make a thank you card for my boys' archery coach.   Then I saw the sketch challenge for CASe This Sketch & I couldn't wait to get home to make a card!!!!    The stamp set has a camera in it, but I knew it would apply to my archery buddies also!!  

Stamps: Smile Big Technique Tuesday

FM115 Color Challenge


This week's Friday Mashup gave a color challenge as one of the options, choose 3 of the following colors: "Crumb Cake, Summer Starfruit, Pacific Point or Daffodil Delight".   I went with Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight & Pacific Point.  I had a piece of Pacific Point dp that I received in a swap & didn't have any solid Pacific Point  c/s, so it has been in the dp box unused.  I knew I was saving it for something!  *grin*

Summer VSN DOG card


I'm sharing a card I made for vsn.  It has been a crazy couple of days... yesterday, I got a phone call from a place where the boys & I volunteer to see if I could come QUICK to help diffuse a situation... then before bed, my youngest son has an accident while dismantling a treehouse & ends up with a nice shiner & a concussion.  (which means I got to wake him up every hour through the night)  Kevin had a few he work things he couldn't change for today so he needed to get some sleep. Then tonight, the same son had another accident & his legs now look like his face.  Oh.my.goodness!!!    I have images colored for 8 different cards, & the cardstock cut for some of them, but just couldn't get one to come together today.   Hopefully, tomorrow will be a quiet, uneventful day!!!
