Thinking of You

It's Friday everyone. I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned. I think I am just going to make some cards. I will be gone for a few days next week and I won't be able to make any, so I will have to get my fill this weekend.

This is a cute little Mo Manning image. It is an older one, but just as adorable as all of hers are. I used a sketch from The Sweet Stop Challenge, I played Bingo at the Sweet Stamps Challenge, and I got my color palette from the Colour Create Challenge. I will be entering my card in these challenges plus several others.

Good Sunday afternoon everyone. It is cold here in Central Texas. We have had such a mild winter this year until today. We even had some snow for about 15 minutes. It didn't stick and thank goodness it will be back up to 70 by Tuesday. At least according to the weatherman.

Today I have a card with a sweet image. This is Hope by Sylvia Zet for SCACD. She is so cute. It felt good to get away from the reds and pinks. So, I went with a brown, cream and blue palette.

Clean and Simple

Good morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend. And did you watch the Superbowl? It was a close and exciting game this year. I started this card yesterday, but just didn't get it finished before we had to leave for a Superbowl party.

So, I finished it this morning. I used a few things from my stash. Sometimes I get everything I am going to use out before I start my project. Like matching the paper to ribbons, buttons, etc. This time I didn't. I had already colored my image and was looking for some ribbon and look what I found. A pretty good match for her dress. It was in my ribbon stash.

Recipe:
Cardstock - CS is Cricut and DP was a piece from my leftover paper stash.
Image - Mabelle R.O. with Whimsy and Stars Studio. This is Balloon Girl.
Sentiment - Stampin Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes set and stamped in Mambo Pink
