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.

Cardstock - CS is Stampin Up and DP is from Best of Brenda Walton by K & Company
Sentiment - Picture This set by Stampin Up
Dies - Spellbinder Circle and Lacey Circle
Punches - Modern Label and Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack by Stampin Up and 2 size star punches by Punch Bunch
Ribbon - Celebrate It for Michael's Stores
