Flowers for You...

Happy Wednesday!

It's been a while since I've taken part in a challenge, and I love challenges!

Decided to participate in the "Flowers for You" challenge at Impression Obsession today.

When I checked my I-O drawer, it had very little in the way of flowers, so I improvised with embossed flowers, and the gorgeous bird complete with flower.

Impression Obsession Bird Collage 4 (#E13046), Impression Obsession Joyful Spring (#B5428), Spellbinder's Labels 28 Dies, Cuttlebug Embossing Border, Tim Holtz Distress Ink, Copic Markers, Pearls, Glossy Accents

I stamped the flower several times, and just kept adding layers until it was popped up enough to suit me, and then generously applied some Glossy Accents for a bit of happy shine.  Wow, my pinks match very well here in real life - not so much, on the big screen!

I'll be entering this card here:

Impression Obsession Challenge - 'Flowers for You'

Through the Craftroom Door - 'Anything Goes'

Creative Belli Challenge - 'Spring'

Simon Says Stamp Challenge - 'Anything Goes'

Thanks for stopping by!

Ribbons....

Today's card is for a challenge at Creative Belli.

The challenge is "Ribbons".

I had made a card like this a long while back, and thought of it when this challenge came up. I liked it when I first made it, so I actually cased myself - how fun is that!

I just used lots of ribbon scraps, and TAC stamps. Topped it off with a silk flower and fancy button.

Question: Has anyone out there done Jenny Craig? Any feedback?

Another Question: Anyone have a nice condo in Jupiter Florida for rent for 6-7 days sometime in March?

Hey Caryl, if you are reading I GET TO GO TO SPRING TRAINING!!! Wahoo!!!

Hope you are having a good day! We have another few inches of new snow on the ground, and with wind chill it was something like -3 this a.m., so this old woman is ripping old wallpaper off the kitchen walls today! Threats of more snow tonight and maybe tomorrow - UGH! Enough, already!

Back to work! See you soon!

No Pink, No Red!!!???

Tonight, my card is in non-traditional colors!


The challenge at Frosted Designs is to make a Valentine's project, but to use no red, and no pink. Yippee! What a fabulous excuse to drag out the old standby - black and white! The white is from my stash, the black is DCWV, and the beautiful teal is Stampin' Up's Bermuda Bay. The print is a FREE downloadable DP from TAC. Be sure to check out their free downloads!

I am also entering this card at:


Scrap, Stamp, and Doodle - (no red)

Charisma Cards - (Love...)
Creative Belli Challenge - (use ribbon(s)



Hope you like it, and that you are having a great weekend. It's snowed here all day off and on. No 'real' accumulation yet (we probably have an inch or so), but it's supposed to continue for several hours, so who knows what morning will bring!



A very special young woman in our community passed away this week.
She was an incredible mother to 7 children. I worked with her, and know that she will be
greatly missed by all who knew her.

Life is short - hug your kids, tell your DH or significant other just how special they are to you, and cherish each precious day.

Hugs,

Patti J.

Happy Tuesday!


I have a card tonight for Suzanne's Thoughtful Thursday challenge at "Other Lovlies". The challenge was to make a Valentine. Here is my card...

If you have not played in Suzanne's challenge, you should run over and do so! She has a great prize, and when I looked last, there were only two entrants! You can use any stamps, digi or rubber, and any DP - no need to buy anything extra - you can use what you have on hand!

I'm also going to enter this card in the Creative Belli Challenge #82, which is to use glitter or rhinestones (got lots of them going on!). It's hard to tell but the flourish is glittered with a glitter pen, and the lower section is all rhinestones.

The last challenge I'm entering this card in is a color challenge at Papertake Weekly. The challenge is: Pretty Pink Papertake. We are to use predominantly pink on our cards.

I have one more quick card to show. The challenge at 365 Cards today (day 325) is: Imagine This: Chocolate. No explanation needed! I'm also entering this one at Creative Card Crew, where the challenge is: 'Punch it'!

Well, I hope that you like these! I am trying to find a bit more time in my girl-cave. Hopefully, I'll have some fun things to show tomorrow!

Take care!

Food for thought: Why do they sterilize the needle for a lethal injection?
