I opted for a clean and layered styling for this card incorporating a number of retired stamp sets and coordinating dies in my stash. I am sharing this card with Park Hopping (April) for Disney’s Animal KingdomContinue reading “Wild About You”

Tea Together – You Are Tea-riffic
Hi again! I had a bee in my bonnet with a few challenges and I had sometime time to pull my ideas together. Over at Colorful Options (April), I was taken with the “tea” motifs in the pastel inspiration photos. I particularly liked the color palette over at TGIF (#519) this week and opted forContinue reading “Tea Together – You Are Tea-riffic”

Tune In – News Flash You’re Classic
Hi again! Another deadline… Over at Color Dare (#643), we are asked to use only the colors Blue and Purple and the Sketch Saturday (#772) layout, a retro sketch from the archives, made me think of the Tune In stamp set with the Retro Television, which would be ideal for the Window twist. Here isContinue reading “Tune In – News Flash You’re Classic”
Wildflower Designs – Happy Thoughts
Hi again! Back to my favorite clean and simple style of card making… Over at AAA Cards (#286), we are challenged to “follow the leader” and CASE (copy and selectively edit) a card created by Kristin Sluhan. My takeaway was the single image, single sentiment and some splatter. My design was influenced by the: JustContinue reading “Wildflower Designs – Happy Thoughts”
Petal Promenade – Friends
Welcome back! Happy Sunday. Over at Time Out (#284), we are challenges to create inspired by Red Carpet Fashion. I opted for a lovely floral dress worn by Zendaya at the 2023 SAG Awards. Additional influences related to my design were: Ellibelle’s Garden Party (#1) for anything in or from the Garden; Love Those PrettyContinue reading “Petal Promenade – Friends”
