Remember When

Leaves, leaves, lots of leaves...Hand Stamped Sentiments is challenging the use of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Not Quite Navy - which works with SUO challenges of including leaves in your project and I've used the sketch from Stamping 411.

I did end up using Early Espresso for the bases of the leaves - and in hindsight figured that using the Not Quite Navy would have been pretty cool too.  I tried twisting the Seam Binding Ribbon, holding the twists in place with glue dots.  The punched leaf has been stamped with the veins from "Gently Falling" and then crumpled up.

The following are the A and B pages for the alphabet book I created for my husband for our 25th anniversary next week....all done on My Digital Studio.  I love the capability of being able to change the sizes of stamps - connecting them and manipulating them.

Hope your week is going well - thanks for stopping by!

Get Well Flourishes

Thought I'd try clean and simple today.  This week's challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments is to use flourishes.  I've been wanting to use this stamp set for a while now - and when I looked at it I saw more than florishes - I saw flowers...sort of.  The get well wishes come from the SUO Challenges this week and the colours are today's Color Challenge over at SCS - Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight and a neutral.

I could give this to my daughter today - she's suffering from a summer cold - she's a bit annoyed because she wasn't sick all winter.  Oh well - it's a drizzly day today, so perfect for hunkering down in the covers.

Thanks for stopping by - I hope you have a wonderful day!

For Dad

This week's challenge over at SUOnly Challenges is to create a card to celebrate Father's Day. I dug out the Plane & Simple set from the previous mini instead of using some of the masculine images from the current mini. So we're aiming for the sky instead of sailing on the sea.

The sketch is from this past weeks' Splitcoast Sketch challenge.

Hope your day has been flying in the right direction - Thanks for taking the time to stop by for a visit.

Tangerine Delight

I've been playing with the watercolours again. When I began this flower - which has been created for the Flower challenge over at SUOnly Challenges - I began with the Watercolour Wonder crayons and aquapainter. I let it sit, and then ended up doing some enhancing with reinker and aquapainter to get the colours a bit bolder.

Just a short post today - Have a fantastic Saturday! Thanks for stopping by for a visit.
