I {{Heart}} Challenges

I'm not sure why, but it appears that I'm only able to get one or two cards done in a weekend. Maybe, it's time to reorganize my space.  That'll help me clear my table and maybe my mind as well. Between Facebook and Pinterest I did see some sketches I liked and Tenia Nelson posted her DT card for Dynamic Duos. So I thought I'd at least be able to use the two wonderful colors and come up with some cards, which turned out to be ONE card. I used Sweet Sunday Sketch 203. So here is my card.  

Once in a Lifetime You Meet Someone Who Changes Everything

I do not use pink that often, so that made it a little more fun for me.  Dots, hearts and doilies always make me happy and who knows maybe it will bring some happiness to the recipient.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful week.

Back At It

Last week I received a commission check from Colfax Arts and Antique Mall, so it's time to get back at it.  The Holidays are over and the Polar Vortex sure made it easy not to want to go outdoors. With Valentine's Day next month and St. Patrick's Day the following month I know I want to add a few of those in the stock I send to the mall. 

I've created two cards since the new year started and for both I used sketches to create them.  The first card I'm showing is one I created for Mojo Monday 327.  I wanted to create a birthday card since it seems like I do not do those as often. I used Unity Stamps and colored the image with Prismacolor and EK Success pencils using OMS to blend the colors.

This card I used a sketch from CardMaps Jan. 2014 It is the second sketch from the top.  I used a piece of a large square paper doily, a rubon heart which I then cut out, a Hero Arts stamp and the tag is a Sizzix die I got last year.  

Well, that's it for now.  Wishing you a wonderful and warm week.  Hopefully the weather has "warmed" up in your area.  It sure was dangerously cold around here.
