Lazy FMS318 Get Well Soon

Happy Saturday, peeps!  Just a quick post...an uber-simple card for an uber-simple FMS sketch:

I realized I have very few get-well cards (or get-well stamps!) so I thought I should make one, and the sketch was perfect for letting these beautiful papers do all the work:

I am getting itchy for the new catalog is coming out soon, because I am bored with my old papers!  So I looked in my huge stash of other DSPS and came up with this lovely one!  This particular line of paper called Chelsea Garden is from last year's Close to My Heart catalog (or maybe two years ago!), and I have been hoarding it because it is just so beautiful, easy to coordinate and the colors are divine!  I layered some of the pieces to follow the sketch, stamped a real simple image from Treat Time in Lost Lagoon and added a Smoky Slate scallop!  Easy peasy!  Thanks for popping in today!

I corralled Cassidy to do a little yard work earlier this week....picking up sticks is not her cup of tea, you can tell by the bored look:

Eventually she knuckled down and did some work, but it was like pulling teeth.  I don't really like it either, but it's gotta be done!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!  And be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge!

Being So Sweet

Happy Monday, peeps!  No Cassidy today, and I was able to get a little stamping done today that wasn't for a DT!  The JUGS challenge this week is pastels, and the Global Design Project also has the pastel colors of Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink:

That little row-of-hearts die in the Be Mine framelit set was calling my name, so I cut it out four times:  once each in Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink, then I went to work:

I used a piece of Adhesive Sheet on the back of the white outline piece, then used some Multi-Adhesive and my Take Your Pick tool to pick up and place the hearts back randomly in the outline.  I am challenging myself to USE THE STAMPS I OWN, and I am going to try to feature them alphabetically backwards, LOL!  SO...this card uses a sentiment from Treat Time and the color splotches from Touches of Texture:

Does anyone else find Petal Pink an awkward color to use?  I don't think the ink looks very pink here, it looks more orange to me..what do you think?  I miss my Pink Pirouette!!  Anyway, my final addition was a few pearls and some Wink of Stella on the white hearts, which you can't see here, but is quite pretty!

So hard to believe how much Cassidy is growing up!  She is still a tomboy but lets Dana "do" her hair sometimes!

Thanks for visiting today!  So happy you dropped in!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Fab Friday 151

Happy Tuesday, peeps!  I have a couple of cards today using the Fab Friday sketch:

They always have such great sketches, don't they?  I originally had embossed this Merry Merlot card base to make a Christmas card, but I needed a birthday card for my niece, so I changed gears and stamped the flower from Flourishing Phrases in Berry Burst, added some embossed stitched lines and a pretty sentiment from Stitched All Around:

I added a scallop of some retired Sweet Sugar Plum glimmer paper and a glimmer enamel dot for some sparkle:

and finished it off with some glimmer ribbon as well:

My second card is a thinking of you/get well card for a friend who's going through a rough patch with some health issues!  This went together quickly with some Bo Bunny Petal Lane papers and a heart die from the Sweetly Stitched Framelits:

 

The sentiments inside and out are from Treat Time; I did a little fussy cutting for the inside one:

Thanks for popping in today!

Yesterday was my dad's 89th birthday; he is still battling some health issues but he did have dinner with us! He also told me there wasn't room for all 89 candles on his cake, LOL!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!
