Artful INKables Tuesday

Good Morning!

I hope all is well with you today! I made it through my

really busy Monday and got to play a little :0) My card

today is featuring the set " Spot on Summer" from the 

latest release at Artful INKables.

This card was so much fun! It went together super fast!

Gotta love that! The card base is old olive layered with

whisper white and greenhouse gala dp. My sunflowers are

buttons I've had for-evvver! I love the sentiment.... so true!

Hop over the Artful Inkables and check out there store. They

have a great variety of stamps and are very,very affordable! 

Hope the good Lord knocks your socks off today with blessings!

Good, Good Morning!

I made this easel card for a friend's niece! The niece did all kinds of volunteer work for our local water district! So they wanted to give her a special card. They had purchased a water can charm so they wanted a water can on the card! Thoughts of father was the perfect set to use for this card! Her school colors are purple and gold , so I use elegant eggplant and crushed curry. The inside has a computer generated sentiment and the back has all of the water district employee signatures. I am entering in these challenges:

Mojo 138

I'm baaaaack! Boy did I have a time making my Mojo card! I think my mojo went to S Dakota  with Carol!

This is actually the 2nd mojo card... 1st one is in the trash! My card base is chocolate chip layered with whisper white and basic gray dp. I used my favorite punch to create the focal image. The only ink that touched the card was the sponging with baja breeze. So happy that color is coming back! Baja breeze and chocolate make such a yummy color combo! This is a good jump start for my mojo! Have a great day!
~Hugs~

Artful INKables Tuesday!

Good Morning to You!

It's Tuesday and yes I have an Artful INKables post to share!

Carol told me about a slider card she had seen, but can't remember

where she saw it! (the memory is the 1st to go!) Anyhoo it took us

several tries to figure it out.... but I think we got it!

This is going to be like a magic trick! It's way fun!

Are you ready to see it opened?

Ok... watch really,really close, I'm going to

close it up again!

Cool trick huh? It's amazing what goes on in my

little sisters head! I used "Any Birdie Home" from

Artful INKables as my focal image. My card base is

ruby red and basic gray dp. It's Think Ink challenge
time! Be sure and pop over to Artful INKables and
play along!

That's it for today! See you tomorrow!

~Hugs~
