Pansies for Mother's Day

Suddenly I realized that Mother's Day is almost here. I need a cards to send to my Nanas, so I inked up the new Verve set One Person. I was trying to make it look like the graduated colors of pansies, don't know how successful I was, but still I think it's pretty.

I also used a Verve sketch from the Viva La Verve April challenges. You can see them all here. This month we are looking at living rooms for inspiration. They posted some really fabulous photos.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Samantha

When I saw the sketch this week at CPS #164, I immediately thought of this image. It was perfect for the long card shape.

Her name is Samantha and she is on of the Rubber Romance divas. I really sparkled up her dress ans shoes for fun. She is available along with all her diva friends at the Rubber Romance etsy site.

Well, I better get packing. We leave for the air port at 3:00 am. Kentucky Derby here I come!

Verve Beach Party Release Color Challenge

Tonight on the Verve Forum of SCS is a release party. Don't think I'll make it until the end, my bed is calling my name. Hubby worked late all week and I'm beat, LOL! Anyway, I wanted to share one of my cards that I made for the release week challenges. This one was a color challenge, aren't these fresh and fun summery colors? Love those bright colors. I used the sketch challenge on SCS this week for this layout.

On a funny note, I sure hope the saying that blonds have more fun is true. I had some highlights done this week and they are pretty blond. Usually they are more light brown, but came out pretty light this time. Not too sure about them, but it's only hair, ya know! Not going to fret about hair, but its been shocking every time I pass a mirror today. Who knows maybe I'll have so much fun with these blond highlights that I'll go all blond next time!

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

This is one of my newest stamps from Rubber Romance. It is called Girls Night Out. These three divas look like they are having a wonderful time, don't they. I think I could use a girls night out! Sentiment is also from Rubber Romance, both are available at the Rubber Romance Etsy site.

Pretty Little Camille

Why does the weekend go so fast? Can't believe it is Sunday already. Oh well, I enjoyed it while it lasted! We had burgers from Five Guys for dinner, they are such good hamburgers. Enjoyed lots of family time, too/

I made the for the Saturday sketch at Club Anya. I love square cards and this was a fun sketch. Also it was the first time I inked up Camille, she is just so cute! Trying to make sure I've used all my TGF stamps before I order more, I have a few more left to ink up that I got recently, so you'll be seeing more of them.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope everyone has a wonderful week.

For Hugh With Love

I know the title is way too punny, but I couldn't resist, since this little guy is Hugh from The Greeting Farm. I made this one for yesterday's Farm Fresh Friday challenge. I thought it was a fun sketch. This is another of the cards I made to the The Greeting Farm Cares card drive for the Ronald McDonald house, such a great cause.

I think I'm ready to kick back and put my feet up, grab a glass of wine and read for a while. I've been tackling laundry all day, trying to switch out winter and summer clothes for all the kids, and I'm worn out, LOL! Time to relax.

Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
