Thank You

Well, good morning friends!!! I hope you are doing well! Summer is almost over, we had a wonderful really long vacation and I have missed being at my desk doing what makes my heart so happy!! Missing paper and pretties is ok, right!!?

I am here sharing the new Retro Sketch for the week! It's a great one...

And here is my take on the sketch for the week! We went to a wonderful picnic with some families from my husband's work. It was a super fun party and my kids had a ball. The girl that planned it all was an awesome party planner!! I wanted to give her a little something for showing us such a good time, and thought a bright floral something would be perfect!!

So, I grabbed some bright colors...you know how much I love them!! I pulled out my flowers from Maggie Holmes, and started layering!! I used a PPP stitched tag die and then just layer it all up!! My sentiment is from PTI. I gotta say, I LOVE the different textures and prints in that pack of flowers from Maggie Holmes!!

Can't wait to see how your use the sketch this week!! Don't forget you have until next week to upload to the gallery!! Take Care, my faithful blogger buddies!!

Hello There,,,

And here is my card! I think I am ready for sunshine and flowers again...how about you!!?

 Little hints of gold, a little bit of sparkle...perfect!!! The florals and frame are from Maggie Holmes and the sweet little sentiment is from Avery Elle.

Have a super day!!! Can't wait to see what you come up with for this week!!!

For You

Good morning!! I'm excited to be stopping in today...I have another double duty post today!! I have the new Retro Sketch to share with you today! And,some delicious TAWS love!!

So, here is the new sketch!! Isn't it a good one!?

And her is my card!!! I pulled out my bag of Maggie Holmes flowers...seriously, can't get enough!! And while it is mid October, my heart is still stuck in florals!! I used some Maggie Holmes and PTI patterned papers, for the die cutting. Then I went added the beautiful sentiment from the Sweet Thing set from TAWS. Really, I can't ever get tired of using them!!!

I finished off with clear sequins, because really, they are the perfect fit for any card!!!

Thanks for stopping by!! Can't wait to see your take on the new Retro Sketch!!

Love You!

Good morning!! I hope today finds you well!!

I love, love, background dies...no secret there. BUT when you pair a background die like this beautiful Quatrefoil card panel from Frantic Stamper with GOLD cardstock!??? Well, I'm in love!!!

I thought this beautiful background would be perfect with some of my new flowers--sorry, can't stop with them!!!--from Maggie Holmes. One package of flowers has SO many beautiful blooms...hard not to use them on every card!! I finished the card with a pretty Love U sentiment and there you have it! I know just who will be receiving this in the mail!

Take care and see you soon!!

Thank You!

Morning again!! I'm back with the new Retro Sketch for the week!!

And here is my card!! I used a couple new products...and I have to say I'm in love!!

I started with some gold glitter paste...it's dreamy!!! I used a Tim Holtz stencil and just added a schmear to the middle of the card base. The I used my new Maggie Holmes flower die!! OH my heart! I love, love, love them!! As you can see the flowers are built from a few different pieces! I don't have any dies that are like this...and oh, I think you'll see a bit more of them!! I also used some leaves from one of the Maggie Holmes flower packs...delicious!!!  My thank you is a Heidi Swapp die that I cut with gold foiled paper...yummy!!!

Hope you get a chance to join us over at Retro Sketches this week!! Take care peeps!!!
