FMS293 Get Well Soon

Happy Saturday, everyone!  I have missed you, hope you missed me, LOL!  When we began our kitchen remodel, we also cleaned out a lot of stuff and decided to have a yard sale yesterday and today!  So I have been busy setting everything up!  Even though it rained yesterday off and on, we still had a lot of customers, and I am looking forward to some more today!  I had a card made for the FMS sketch challenge from Karren a day or so ago, but never got a chance to post it, so we here go!

I pulled out some older papers from a little 6x6 pad from My Mind's Eye called Oliver; I just loved the little collage of images down in the corner:

I didn't have a circle or oval die big enough to cut my shape, so I did it free-hand, then stamped some flowers on the rounded edge with a retired stamp called Vintage Vogue.  The kraft paper card base was stamped with French Script, and I also stamped a little key from Artistic Etchings.

I still thought it looked a little bare, so I added some black glimmer leaves, a bit of Soft Sky seam binding and a little chevron heart.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  I never have enough get-well cards, so this is the beginning of my stash!  Thanks for popping in today!

So here's a shot of our garage sale....luckily we could have it IN the garage:

Of course, not everything was for sale....all the men who shopped were very interested in buying all the tools and equipment that weren't for sale, LOL!  Cassidy got in on the action too...she helped Grampy put up the signs at the end of the driveway:

and she was very helpful in pricing all the goodies:

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for our next Paper Players challenge too!  Be blessed!

TSSC224 Vintage Vogue

Wow, what a gorgeous day it is today here in PA!  I wanted to make a card with cheerful colors for Mary Jo’s TechnoStamper’s sketch:

I had originally been thinking about using Tangerine Tango, since I hadn’t used that color in a while, and mistakenly pulled out some Calypso Coral designer paper….oops!  So I went with that, and paired it with Daffodil Delight for a friendly birthday card:

I stamped a background with the floral images from Vintage Vogue, then added the cut-out F atop a little scalloped square; the sentiment, from Teeny Tiny Wishes, was cut with the largest Itty Bitty Banner die.  I wish now I had done something different with the left side of the banner….maybe I’ll add a flower to cover it up!   I also added a little scalloped border on the top and bottom panels.

A cheerful card for a sunshiny day!

Playing is hard work!!!

PPA100 Delft Tile

I was excited to see the 100th challenge on the Pals Paper Arts blog---I have been following them regularly, and their design team is superb!  I had this card made for another challenge, but never posted it, so I thought it would be fun to do for their “magnifique technique” challenge!  I first saw the Delft tile technique on SCS here.  I changed mine a tiny little bit by embossing the whole image that had been stamped with Vintage Vogue.  Let me know what you think:

Here is a closeup of the “tiles” with the clear embossing:

Almost looks like real tile, doesn’t it?  I didn’t want to detract from the image itself, so I left my Curly Cute sentiment and embellishments fairly simple.  Thanks for visiting today!

Oh boy, Grammy’s craft room will never be the same again!

Card Patterns 113

Just a quick post today, lots to do!  Took the Card Patterns sketch 113:

to make a birthday card for a special friend:

I already had the Blushing Bride Patterns DP on my desk, so I went with another vintage theme, pulling out Vintage Vogue and the hostess set Just Because for my images.  I never use Basic Gray, but I thought it would be a pretty complement for the Blush.

I used a doily for my scallop and some wide satin ribbon and an Antique Brad to corral it.  Hope she likes it!  Thanks for visiting today!
