Rose Sunday!

Good Sunday Morning!
It's the last Sunday of the month and that means the Rose's share what they've been up to! I am the hostess this month and wanted to see some summer... we haven't had much here! I am really late getting my post up! Mostly because I thought I had one more week before I needed it! Where does the time go? I've been crazy busy at work and it totally sucks the life right out of me! I'm getting to old for 10 hr days on my feet! Any hoo... back to my FAST card! I stamped my focal image from seaside sketches in momento black. I then colored it with prisma color pencils! The rest is bits and pieces from my stash! The dp was laying on my desk waiting for some love! Be sure and check out the rest of the lovely Rose bouquet, you can find their links on my sidebar!
I hope you have a beautiful,blessed day!

Sister Playtime!!!!!

Good Sunday Morning!
I hope you are having a great day! My 2 sisters came to visit over the weekend! We had fun getting inky together! We have a challenge once a month between us and this month I was the hostess! My challenge was to create cards using bits and pieces out of my scrap box! This  is the card Carol received! 
My card base is sage shadow {wish they would bring it back} layered with Paris and Co dp. The sentiment is inkadinkado and the little sprinkles are from AnnaBelle stamps 6mm sultana.
From the scrap box.... flowers, leaves, flourishes, and both spellbinder layers! We didn't even make a dent in my box of treasures.... I guess the girls will have to come back and play!
Have a super day!

Faith...

Good Afternoon!
My card today is a "just because I wanted to" card! I didn't make this for any challenge or special person in mind... I made it just because! I had fun with it too! The colors are totally out of my comfort level! I'm trying to use up paper! You know how you always end up with a few papers left in every pack... those are the ones I'm trying to use up! This dp is from sweet always {SU} and the sentiment is inkadinkado! It's kinda funky, but I like it!
Have a great evening!

Mojo 244

Good Afternoon!
I'm really late posting! I've had a super busy day! Took the dogs to be groomed, went to Costco & Lowes and then hit a few thrift stores! 
My card is for the Mojo sketch challenge. The colors look a little funky )0= I don't know why that happens sometimes! My card base is whisper white layered with lap of luxury dp. The only stamping on this card is the itty bitty banner! I should have made it larger! Oh well... it is what it is!
Here come the thunder storms! Catch you later!

Sweet Stop Sketch..

Good Sunday Afternoon!
I hope all is well with you! I've been busy,busy! My g~son spent the night last night! That was fun! He is 10 and full of energy! Boy can that kid eat! 
My card is for the Sweet Stop sketch! I love how it turned out (0=  My DP is cheerful treat and the focal image is from betsy's blossoms! 
This is short and sweet! My new dog keeps escaping and I just figured out how she is doing it! I have 2 raised gardens.. they are 2 1/2 feet tall and built into my fence. Wouldn't you think that would keep a little 10lb dog in the yard? Nope... she jumps on top of the garden and off she goes! I have to put a fence around my gardens )0= Who woulda thunk!
