Happy Sunday evening my crafty peeps…. I’ve been working on invitation’s for the Mister’s 50th birthday bash… and today I picked my girlfriend up from the airport went to breakfast with my family at this restaurant called Snooze the food was delicious and afterwards we went over to Torrey Pines Beach… I’m not a beach type of girl my sister-in-law says take off your shoes come out of your comfort zone and feel the sand between your toes a real challenge for me but what the heck we only live once right! I haven’t been able to play in the haven like I wanted too this weekend. I’ve been working on this card for a few days. The cue word over on the CASology blog this week is Journey. I decided to use a set that I just had to have and never used lol..I’m finally putting it to use. I pulled out a Beautiful Ride stamp set by SSS and I immediately thought of riding my bike to the market on a cobblestone street to pick up some flowers. I think I got the look riding up a hill on a cobblestone street. I hope you like my take on the sketch.

Hello my crafty friends……….. I’m going to play in the haven today to put some finishing touches on a few cards that I would like to enter in a couple of challenges……… I’m playing over on the Less Is More blog this one is a newbie for me the theme challenge this week is REPETITION… I have the cutest lil card for this one. Here you go check this out!
Less Is More 285
Next up is the new challenge over on the Tic Tac Toe blog my take on the sketch is the top row across embossing, doodling, add dimensional… I added dimension alright can you see I popped the hello up on the card to give it a 3D effect so cool the look but it was a challenge to pull it off. I hope you like my take on the challenge.
Crafty Supplies Used:
Cardstock: Neenah Solar White (110b), Neenah Black (65lb); Stamp: SSS Look For The Miracles, Sketched Ranunculus; Ink: Versafine Versamark, Perfect Pearls ( Mint, Grape Fizz, Pear, Gold); Accessories: SSS Painted Hello (die), Fun Foam, Wow Metallic Gold Rich Pale Super Fine EP.
I’m also playing over on the Simon Say’s Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog the theme this week is Create A Scene… I can somewhat do that considering I live in Southern Cal and the beaches are 30 or 40 minutes away we have quite a few. I don’t like going during the day it’s just too hot, crowds of people early morning is better ………. my birthday is in a few days maybe I’ll spend some time at the ocean…………. just sit, relax and take photo’s I need to do that more considering I took classes to learn how to take better photo’s of my cards for my blog posts………..lol the classes did pay off. I understand how to use my camera. Ok! peeps here you go Let’s have some fun in the Sun! I’m also playing on another new blog challenge Muse... My take on the sketch is critters with a background scene that’s my interpretation of Tracy’s photo… it fit’s right in with the challenge theme over at SSS as well. Hope you like all the excitement I have going on this Sunday afternoon.
