Heartfelt Thanks

Hi everyone! This week is flying by...I made this card over the weekend. It uses In Bloom for the flower, the PTI anniversary set Everday Classics for the sentiment, and Fancy Flourishes for the background.

Tomorrow we are off to the apple orchard with my kids' preschool...should be fun!

Have a great day,
Melissa

Congratulations

Hope you're having a great weekend! I made this card for the Polka Dot Paradise Color Challenge at Embellish , the new on-line magazine by Ashley Cannon Newell.

These colors are very fall, I thought, and I couldn't wait to try out my new Vintage Label set. I colored the tiny gems with my Copic marker, so they could match Scarlet Jewel.



Thanks for coming by!

Hello! I'm back today with another card featuring this beautiful sunflower image. I can't stop coloring all the vases from Autumn Abundance!

The sentiment is heat embossed, but other than that I left it simple, so the beautiful flowers could shine.



Hope you have a great day!

Let it Snow (not really)

Hi everyone! I dug out my "snowpeople" stamps to create this card! I also used some fun new paper from Cosmo Cricket, Jolly by Golly mini deck. The card follows the 2 Sketches 4 You Sketch 35 .



I paper pieced the snowwoman's mittens, hat and scarf and added some stickles! She is colored with Copics and I had to add a rosy glow to her checks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a note

Hi! Today I have another "Pie in the Window" card to share. I had the idea to fold out the shutters...not sure it's as cool in real life as it was in my head!!



I colored the image with my Copic markers and then used a Label 1 Nestabilities Die to cut out the mat. The paper is from the Junebug collection by Basic Grey and the sentiment is from Vintage Picnic.

Hope you have a great day!

...like cats to favorite armchairs

Hi everyone,
I made this card for a sweet friend who loves cats. Hope she likes it! I used On my Couch and some Basic Grey Lemonade paper. This qualifies for the Moxie Fab challenge to use a household item as your focal point.



Thanks for looking!
