cardstock cut for another two sets.  I am also entering at

Thinking of You

A multipurpose masculine card for the new challenge at
CASology for the cue word of "flame."  Instead of going with 
the fire / vapor definition of "flame," I went with the 
action form of the word ~ to "shine brilliantly" (yes, I 
googled it).   I am sure the very witty and multitalented
Ms. Darnell would have a much more extensive and
humorous story to tell you ;).



Supplies ~
Stamps:  WPlus9 Guiding Light & Guiding Light Sentiments
Paper:  SU Marina Mist, Whisper White, Soft Suede
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, PTI Fresh Snow, Black Sharpie (to go over the stamped sentiment) & Gold Top Marker
Dies:  PTI In the Meadow & Hello Sunshine (used the negative to sponge the beam)
Additional Supplies:  Taylored Expressions Cloud Impression Plate, Magenta cork

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Blooms

Another card  for the 6 year anniversary at
Papertrey Ink using the colors at ColourQ.  I used 
reinkers and rubbing alcohol on glossy paper ~ the 
polished stone technique.  I used Melissa's

A quick card for the festivities at Papertrey Ink for 
their sixth anniversary using one of Nichole's sketch's 
and the colors at Color Throwdown.  I just purchased 
some very fun washi tape at a local craft store,
and used that for the stripes. This is a great design

Believe in Fairy Tales

The current cue word at CASology is "fairytale."  
 I am also entering my card at the 52 card pickup.
My card is not for a specific fairytale.  However
many fairytales feature wizard's hats and wands, 
hence my magic hat and wand images.  Did you
ever really think about some of the older fairytales?
There is quite a bit of evil and violence in them,
especially considering they were considered 
"children's stories."  The one and only time I read 
my son "Little Red Riding Hood," his response
was "Mom, that's just weird."  He was right.




Supplies ~ 
Stamps: Serendipity Stamps (D247) & a cube with 4 words (no name or number, from 2001)
Paper:  PTI White, Gold from my stash
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black,  Gold Top Marker
Dies:  PTI Mat Stack # 4 & Layerz Mat Stack # 4
Additional Supplies:  PTI Linen Impression Plate

Wishing you a magical day!
Jean

Hugs & Kisses ... From Me to You

The festivities at Papertrey Ink continue for their sixth 
anniversary.  Today we were to create some type of wrap,
 tag, or gift packaging project that was inspired by a
 photo found on Pinterest or another site.  Well, this 
took me a very long time ~ the Pinterest part ;).   I found
several recipes to try, some quotes that I really liked, cards
that I would like to CASE, and oh ~ my inspiration for the tag.
I really liked the bright orange and pink on the beaded curtain.
Two of the colors were same as those at ColourQ, 
so I added the other two and made a card also.


My Inspiration ~ 

Hot Pink and Neon Orange Retro Circles Beaded Curtain

Love You Forever

Today is the first day of the festivities at Papertrey Ink
for their 6 year anniversary.  All of the designers chose 
their favorite six projects, and Nichole challenged us to 
create a card based on one of their favorites.   
This is my second post for this challenge.  
The first one is my previous post. This time
I chose one of Maile's on the top left.  I used the 
same stamp set, but added patterned paper where 
she used embossed paper and left off the buttons,
since my paper seemed busy enough.
I am also entering this at  
Addicted to CAS for their "heart" cue word.

for their 6 year anniversary.  All of the designers chose 
their favorite six projects, and Nichole challenged us to

Call Me Maybe

One more card for my son ~ 
I'm stocking up for when I have to work overtime.
When it gets busy at work, overtime is not optional.
He loves the song ~ Call Me Maybe ~ I know this one will make him smile.
I used black and white for the challenge at A Passion for Papertrey.
This is my second card for this challenge, the first one is my
previous post.  I used PTI's block alphabet dies for the 
"love letters" challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.   I am also 
entering this card at the 52 Card Pickup.
