Luscious for TSOT

The prompt at Try Stampin' on Tuesday was "luscious", and it came along with a sketch as well (posted further below).  I decided to play along using way more flowers and layers than I would usually use.  


Now the sketch had a circle that was the center focal point.  I changed that up a bit with a sentiment that spans across my card.  


Not my normal, but a challenge for sure, and a fun card to create.

I hope you found some time to create today.

Forest and Dear Inspired Holiday Card

I was inspired by the prompt at Christmas Card Throwdown which had the prompt of "forest and deer".  I couldn't wait to play along.  


 I used some pattern paper in my stash that I knew was perfect for a winter forest.  There are some deer in the background!  To that, I added some Lawn Fawn creatures. 


And one more holiday card to add to my stash! 

Go be creative!

Thinking of You for CAS(E) this Sketch

So a bit of a stretch for a sketch, but I love stretching a sketch. 

Here is my take on this week's CAS(E) his Sketch, where I flipped to landscape.


Went with yellow roses for this card. The color yellow speaks to sun and warmth.  Friendship and optimism.  Who doesn't need all of that during these difficult times. 


I hope you find some time to create today.

Spring Fling Birthday Card

Hard to know that spring is here in Connecticut.  Yesterday woke to four inches of snow.  Today it got into the 60's. 

But here is my take on the spring birthday card for Seize the Birthday


 Butterflies and sparkle in various forms.  


I love the sheen of those Nuvo Glacier Paste dots. 

I hope you find some tie to create today.

Hugs for Just Add Ink

Dug into my stash to create a card for Just Add Ink.  The challenge was to create using a die cut word. 


Love working with kraft cardstock.  This was a set I got back in the fall; love the background script.  


And a bit of yellow ink is always going to brighten a day. 

I hope you find some time to create today.
