Hope you all had a beautiful Easter weekend. We were surprised by a visit from my nephew who we haven't seen in 14 years. I am thrilled to say he is a wonderful young man and we were so blessed by his visit. He spent a couple of nights and went to church with us. It was fun to have a young man to feed once again! :-)
I've got two cards today...I can tell my age is beginning to take it's toll. I had mounds of laundry and cleaning to do and was just too tired to post yesterday. Hope you'll forgive me.
Here's the card I created for the
SCS Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS116) this week. We were to use the
Rule of Thirds. It's a rule of composition for photography or art. The link gives a grid and description.
I used the Alpha Blocks die from Papertrey Ink to cut my little rectangles, popped them up on dimensionals, then added my sentiment. (PTI Train Tracks). Super easy, super simple. I have a problem lining things up due to a brain injury so I won't tell you how many times I had to move those little shapes!
Supplies:
Paper - Neenah Paper (base), SU Melon Mambo, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise
Next up is the Teapot Tuesday (MMTPT143) Challenge. This week's card destination is a fun one. We can choose to send the card to the person who uploads to the left of us, if they're participating in the challenge!
Here's the inspiration teapot although, if you choose to play, it's an anything goes challenge.
I used one of my oldie but goody sets from Stamps by Judith called Early Bird. I also used the same DCWV adhesive backed paper that I used on
this card. I think I'm addicted to it. No taping, no gluing...awesome colors! The sentiment panel is popped on dimensionals. I cut the backs off the brads and adhered them with glue dots.
Supplies:
Paper - Black base (PTI), DP (DCWV Adhestive back Pattern Stack)
Card Templates - The Cutting Cafe - Scalloped Circle Shaped Card and Circles
Ink - Memento, Copic markers
Stamps - Stamps by Judith Early Bird
Accessories - sewing machine, dimensionals, brads, white marker (tool alert! The BEST white marker is the Sailor White Writer rolling ball pen)
Shopping alert - There's a 20% off entire purchase coupon for Michael's link on the
SCS link! Not sure how long it's going to be there so go pick it up....quick!
