With Love

Hello.  Welcome to my blog.  I'm so happy y'all could stop by.  It's snowing, again.  I'm tired of the white stuff now.   We are going to hit a heat wave next week though...35 degrees F.  LOL

The card I have for y'all today came out a little blurry.  I took the picture 3 times and it still came out that way.  I think it might have been the shimmery chalk that I used to color the image.

I think this has to be one of the most CAS cards I have done.  I printed out the image from Anonymous Stamps and ran my Versamark pad all over it.  I then took my chalk eyeshadows and colored stripes on the flowers.  I then cut it out with my Marvy Scalloped Heart punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I have been up to.  I hope y'all have a great day and God bless.

Challenge #72 QKR Stampede

Good Morning, friends.  Welcome to my blog.  Thanks so much for stopping by this Friday morn.  As we are still in the midst of our winter here in the USA, our new challenge for this week is "Winter Fun" and what is more fun than a frosty snowman?

This guy looks like he's fighting the snowflakes and wind.  I don't know if you can see it very well, but I embossed the background with tons of snowflakes using a pearl embossing powder.

Thanks again for stopping by.  Make sure to visit QKR Stampede for our new challenge and a link to the store so you can get this adorable snowman.

Playing Catch Up

Happy Monday y'all.  I hope all of y'all are ready for another week.  I am, but it's going to be a busy one.  I am really behind in my card making for last week.  I was super busy and didn't get all of my challenges done.  I think I am up to about 45 a week now.  It really helps me to stock up my stash for cards, but I am being over run.  I need to get some sold.  I probably should open an Etsy shop or put some on eBay.

I am going to post 5 cards here in this one post so that I can get them linked for the challenges.  I am going to be short and brief and just post the challenges they are for as well as the products, but not any details.  I will come back later in the week and post the details.  Sorry for being so short, but it's 3:20 am and I need to get to bed.
