Bonjour

Today's card challenge #WT110 was all about Orchid Opulence. You know that color that we all use - all the time -NOT! I guess that's why it was a challenge :). I wanted to use a set that I haven't used yet. Also covered an oval chipboard piece and did some embossing. It was a fun challenge! Only 1 more day and it's the weekend!!! Yeaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been a looooong week- how about for you?

More Card Challenges

Here are the past two days card challenges. Tuesday's challenge was for the families affected by the Virginia Tech tragedy. We were to use the colors, ruby red, pumkin pie and always artichoke which are the colors of the school.










The second card is for Wednesday's sketch challenge #121 and I decided to make a more traditional Mother's Day Card. I realized I really liked paper piecing. Thanks for looking and hope your day is filled with happiness.

Lost - A Father's Day card

Today's Splitcoast Challenge was a Levi Tag TLC113. What is a Levi Tag you ask? It's that little tag that is sewn to your back pocket of your jeans with the brand name noted (ie. Levi's, Gap, etc.). Over the weekend, I've been looking for more masculine paper and then I came across this map.

The first thing that came to my mind was sitting in the back seat of the family car while my Dad drove aimlessly. Yes aimlessly, because he refused to admit he was LOST! You would assume asking for some directions would be a good idea - BUT NO! The standard answer "I know where we are" (in a cranky voice). I can so vividly remember looking at my sister and both of us rolling our eyes. I think many of us have experienced something similar, so this card is for all those Dads who refuse to admit they're lost! :)

Stamp Camp Card

I'm a DORK! I was working so hard to get this card finished for the last 3 days of Splitcoast Challenges. I finally get it done and went to take a picture and guess what - No camera! I gave the camera to my darling son today for a field trip. All this self imposed pressure - for nothing! That's why I am a DORK!

Anyway, I needed a card for tomorrow's camp. The card needed to be adaptable for Mom's or friends. While standing in line to get my coffee from Starbucks, all I kept on seeing is Doodle Art. That became my inspiration for this card. Happy Friday!!!

Now that I'm on a roll - Day2 of SCS challenges for me. This is addictive. So here's my entry today: I didn't really plan on those stems working out the way they did - it just happened! Thanks for looking.
