CASE Study #210 - Flower Bouquet

Thanks for stopping by!  I think I have more posts on Thursday than any other day of the week LOL!!  Today I have three - new challenges from CASE Study and Fusion.. and ooooh.. pretty... a new release from Waltzingmouse!! SO I hope you take your time and look around today!!    Our muse this month at CASE Study is the amazing Debbie Hughes!  I love her cards and she always inspires me to create!!  Look at this beauty she has for us today.  I see a pretty embossed background, lots of pretty die cuts bundled together with a bit of twine and topped with a scrolled sentiment.  Debbie's color scheme got me thinking Christmas, but I'm just not ready to give in to it!  I thought I'd make a pretty little thank you card that I could use any time of year.  I flipped Debbie's card up side down and made a flower bouquet tied with a twine bow. 

Ready to see what the rest of the team created for today?  Just click on their names here to jump to their blog!

Paper Smooches Sparks - Anything Goes! Acorn Love!

Another busy day for me today - did some running around - buying cleaning supplies, and then groceries... made it home in time to make some tuna salad for a quick dinner.  I know DH won't complain!  Sometimes it's nice to have a quick easy dinner.  No hurry cooking, just make a sandwich, sit down, and enjoy!

I've been cleaning up my crafty area for a post I need to write for Card Maker Magazine's blog.  They want me to show you my crafty space.  I seriously have stuff from floor to ceiling - I wonder if they'll cut the post after they see the photos.  I know most of you will either admire or despise me when I let you in for your own personal look.    The big day for that is Oct. 15. 

I found a little time to get a card made for the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge.  I thought it was time to pull out some fall themed stamps and this one always makes me happy.

 Are you playing along?  There is still time to play - a new challenge begins every Monday!  I hope you have a great day!

The Challenge #15 - Black Rose

Hi friends!  I hope you had a great weekend!  The weather was nice here and I enjoyed my family time.  DH makes sure weekends are for family and isn't shy about giving anybody the stink eye who's not with the program.  SO I'm usually not blogging on the weekends - time to step away and get recharged!  

A new challenge starts today at The Challenge.  The Challenge is another wonderful creation by Lesley Croghan and is hosted on her blog Always Playing with Paper.  Lesley is the creator of Fusion, Dynamic Duos, Seize the Birthday, Seize the Sketch, Card Concept, and Merry Monday.  This time is double the fun because there is a color challenge, and a sketch challenge.  You can use either one that inspires you, or you can incorporate them both together like I did. 

 

This is my last time playing The Challenge as a DT member.    The past four months have just flown by. I really enjoyed the opportunity of getting to know these ladies better.  They're all so talented and always inspire me.   I know I'll be visiting whenever I can and just wanted to thank them for  making me feel so welcome
