Loves' Color is Red

One crafting resolution I made for 2017 is to get more organized and use more of my stash...mostly papers that I have purchased and have yet to use.  

I decided to start using My Mind's Eye (MME) and Bo Bunny paper.  The goal is to create at least 10 cards from a collection before purchasing more paper, unless I have a special request.

I didn't do to well once I saw the new paper line from Graphic 45...I had to get Portrait of a Lady, but I did go back to my original stash to create two cards to share.

I used colors associated with Valentines' Day and February. 

Here are my two creations:

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges. 

Paper Nest Dolls - #02 Anything Goes 
Pammie's Inky Pinkies - #1708 Anything Goes
Get Creative - #55 Use Red and 1 Other Color
Aurora Wings - #44 Anything Goes
A Snowflake Promise - #37 Valentines

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges.

Path of Positivity - #46 Expression of Love

Love to Scrap - #94 Mid Month Inspiration
Crafting from the Heart - #147 Anything Goes
Artistic Inspirations - #173 Anything Goes
Digi Choosday - Wk#8 Anything Goes
Whoopsi Daisy - Love/Romance


Both cards use images from Mo Manning and both were colored using copic markers.

The paper was My Mind's Eye and the collection actually had two names; "The Station" and "Union Square", therefore I ended up purchasing it twice.

Hope you enjoyed my cards and thanks to Tracy MacDonald for my inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great week and looking forward to the weekend.  

Since Sunday is Valentine's Day and is celebrated here in the U.S. I thought I would share with you today a few Valentine cards that I've created.

Hope you enjoy seeing them.

My first card is definitely designed with the female gender in mind. 

Created with lots of pinks and flowers

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Creative Moments - Anything Goes with a twist of Romance (2/11)

Double D - Pretty Pink Hearts (2/13)

Card number two consist of the more traditional colors often used for Valentines.

I think this particular one would work great to give to that gentleman friend.

Yep I think the men would appreciate being the recipient sometimes on this day.

Lastly, I'd like to share a card that was inspired by one I found on pinterest where the author used inches to create the squares. 

I had to compensate and then decided to pop my squares adding depth.

Hello Everyone!  Bet you thought I had forgotten about the "Comment Winner" but guess what I didn't forget.  

I've noticed a drop in my followers and that saddens me but for those of you that have stayed, I appreciate you. 

Okay so Valentine's Day will be here in a couple of weeks and Mother's Day isn't to far behind so I'm thinking we should be getting started on our cards.  Today I have a card to share and hope you like it.

 This is a simple multi-layered card made using an old Graphic 45 collection called "The Romantique" (I think).

The paper is gorgeous with greens, browns and a peach or salmon color.  I absolutely loved this collection.

The flowers are Wild Orchid (as usual) and the punches are Spellbinders and Martha Stewart.

I used the remainder of the paper on the inside to decorate and allow space for a personal message.

I didn't see a need to add any additional treatments or embellishments because I felt the beauty of the paper was enough.  This was a quick view of a quick and simple card that could be used for Mother's Day or any special event (hint: the greeting says it all).

Now before I call it a night I must say congratulations to the winning comment from my post titled "One Stamp - Multiple Card"  and the winner of a eCertificate for two digital images of their choice is:
