FMS #189 and Coffee Lovers

Good morning crafty friends and happy weekend! I hope y'alls days are

off to a great start! We don't have much of anything planned for

this weekend which I am happy about after a busy week. I just want to

relax and spend a little time doing absolutely nothing! Followed

by cleaning and crafting though of course! I made a card last night following

the current sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. I am also entering

this card into the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and
the current Verve Inspirations Challenge.

Viva la Verve February week 1

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great

week so far! I am getting ready to go to the dentist before going

into work. Hope I don't leave with my teeth hurting too bad. I'm going

to take some asprin before I go. I think I have a cavity that needs

to be filled too. Boo. Anyways, I have another card to share. Somehow I 

missed doing the February week 1 sketch for Viva la Verve.

Viva la Verve February week 4

Good morning crafty friends! Happy Sunday! Hope y'all

are still enjoying a relaxing weekend. We are still trying to decide

if we will brave the roads for church or not. We don't live

far so I'd like to try, but I'm not the driver so it's up to hubby to decide.

Until then, I wanted to share another card I made yesterday.

also entering this card into the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop.

Retro Sketches #150

Good morning crafty friends! Hope y'all are having a great week!

I wanted to share a card I made the other night following

the current sketch from Retro Sketches. When I saw the card that

design team member Arielle created I was so inspired by her

colors and papers that I sorta lifted her design. I hope she doesn't mind :-)
I used the same (or similar) background paper for mine, I think that's what
drew me to her card in the first place. The rest I made a little different.
I am also sharing this card over at Word Art Wednesday.

Enabler's List:

Paper: MME Lost and Found 2 with CTMH hollyhock, 

juniper, and white daisy cardstock

Stamps: Verve New Mercies

Ink: CTMH blush and chocolate

Technostamper Sketch #336

Good morning crafty friends! It's Friday! I took off

work today as the hubby and I are about to leave to go

to Texas with my family. I hadn't done any crafting

all week so I decided to put together a quick and simple

card before we head out. For this card I used the 

current sketch from Technostamper and flipped it on it's side.

I thought it was a great sketch to use my new stamp sets.

Paper: MME Christmas pack with CTMH Colonial White

and New England Ivy

so that means it's time for another Inspired By sketch!

Here is the sketch inspired by own of her layouts:

Now I did something a little different and made a card based on this layout:

turned out quite well! I think next time I will try to make a layout.
