Yellow Roses for CR84FN30 Color Challenge

Another day....another challenge...lol

This is my first time of doing a challenge for CR84FN color challenge.

The challenge is to use the colors of light blue~light yellow and kraft.

I stamped a piece of whisper white with bashful blue ink using a rose stamp I had....

added a piece of a yummy DS paper from SU....

then used a zigzag and a straight stitch on my machine around each piece

I love stitching on a card!!

I made 3 felt roses from yellow felt I cut in a spiral

the leaves were cut from kraft using a Sizziz die...I had intended to ink the edges with kraft ink

but had them on before I remembered...darn!!

stamped a SU sentiment and added my ribbon

love how it turned out...

 inside has the same yellow DS paper!!

Memorial Day "Thank You" ~Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky

 

I just wanted to take the time today to say "thank you" to all that have served our country and to those that are still serving.

THANK YOU!!

This is my entry for the challenge at the "Getting Cricky" blog
the challenge is to make any project with a banner!!
I love how this card turned out....I made the "star" with the little banner dies for Papertrey Ink.

Each banner was hand stamped...some with itty bitty backgrounds from Papertrey

the rest from stamps I had.

Have a safe and Happy Memorial Day everyone!

From The Hearth ~ All Things Unity #32

All Things Unity is a new challenge for me......"From The Hearth" is to use any Unity stamp that is food related......I choose this pear that is from a long past Unity of The Month set...July a few years ago I think.....I stamped it in Dew Drops "Pear Tart"...of course I did... what else right...lol...and the last pear was stamped with Dew Drop Dandelion...added my still in love with "gingham" ribbon...and a little embossing strip at the bottom...simple...but I like it!!

PDCC83 ~ and What Is Blooming In Your Garden 3

 

I decided to do my 2nd challenge with The Play Date Cafe (PDCC83) honoring a "retiring" DT member "Sarah Anderson" that is leaving the team...though I don't know Sarah...I wish her the best with her new "venture"! The challenge is black and white with a splash of green....I decided to make a black and white "quilt" so to speak, by punching 20 1" squares, adhering them to card stock and then pulling out my ever faithful and much neglected SU top note die...good thing I am organized enough with my paper scraps that I could just pull the black scraps easily out........I added a stamped and cut out flower and what I thought was a perfect sentiment "for this occasion" "simply.be.who.you.are"...both stamps are by Unity.....I popped up both the flower and banner.

My next post are just a few of what's blooming in my garden this week...we have had hard rains.....but it still managed to look pretty spectacular!  I post pictures of my garden every Sunday...this week the poppies and the Iris took the "show"...I have tons more of photos and other color of Iris and Poppies...maybe Ican squeeze more in later this week!

Less Is More Challenge #17 ~ Pick A Square

This is my second "attempt" at the less is more challenge "pick a square"..........this one is for you  Mandi and Chrissie...I hope I did better...me and that stupid ribbon on the post below...this stamp is just one I have had for quite sometime......I inked the corner and then stamped my image and added a bit of tiny bling centers to each flower....I like it...I hope you do....I have been seeing some wonderful entries (which shamed me into doing a better one)......this was a great challenge...can't wait to see what will be next weeks...love a good challenge!!

Less Is More Challenge #17 ~Square

This week the Less Is More Challenge is to be "square" (see sketch)......I used a cuttlebug little embossing folder and colored it with Pebbles Creme Chalk ......I love this chalk....I purchased it at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon...what a great way to try it out...I liked it so much I have since gone back and bought other color groups...it has a bit of metallic in it.....

I had to add the ribbon to my card...it just screamed for it.......I decided that there is no wrong or right way, that if we all made our cards the exact same way it would be a boring world (that's my story and I am sticking to it...lol)..... sorry Mandi and Chrissie...honestly I could hear this card screaming all the thru the house to add that ribbon...and its only a skinny one...just close one eye and look at my card and maybe you won't notice the addition...hahhah........

Sorry I couldn't leave comments last week, so thank you to all that visited me...I will visit you this week....now my followers disappear and reappear...thanks blogger!!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow to see my "what's blooming in your garden post"...I have some beauties this week.

Also wanted to add the ribbon on my card does match perfectly...it's the gloomy weather here...bad for photo taking...cold, too!!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #119

Still NOT able to leave comments...so frustrating!!!

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday is having us make a box or bag this week for a gift........I have had these blank MS little boxes for quite sometime, so instead of making my own, I made this one "my own"...lol...I used my Sweet Pea set.... stamped directly onto the box and colored it with my Copics (which I am still learning)...I added a bit of stickles for some sparkle and a butterfly...the ribbon is a wonderful pink organza.....I added some shredded paper to finish it off.......I will leave comments when (if ever) I can...come on blogger get this fixed!!!!!!!!!!
