What's Up?

Hi there!

How's it going for ya today?  Feeling flat?  I sure hope not!  The dog in the photo looks like he's feeling flat.  Or, maybe he's just taking a snooze, ha!  Anyways, I thought I'd try my hand at making a "flat" card, which is the theme for the challenge over at City Crafter!   

And, without further delay here is my card...

 

Well, that's all for now.  Hope you have a wonderful day!  Take care!

 

Hugs,

Maria

Hi, Friends!

 

Happy weekend to you!  I hope you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  We will be getting together with in-laws tomorrow to celebrate my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party!

 

But, today, I'd like to share with you a card I made for my niece who recently had an emergency appendectomy.  Thank goodness all went well, and she's back home recuperating.    She is studying to be a nurse at Miami University, so I got out my Paper Sweeties stamp to dress Abigail in her nurse uniform.  I wish I lived closer to be Chelsea's nurse, but I live three hours from her.  And, her sister, Ashlee, is there with her doing a very fine job I'm sure!

 

Here is a photo of Chelsea with powerlifting teammates at the training center.  She participates in powerlifting meets and has won medals!  She won't be down for long.  So proud of her!  And here is the photo...

 

 

 

Well, that's all I have for now.  All supplies are listed below.  Thanks so much for visiting here today!  It's appreciated!  Take care!

 

 

Hugs,

Maria

Paper Sweeties September 2015 Inspiration Challenge #35

 

 

Hi there!

 

It's September 1st, which means it's time for another Paper Sweeties Challenge!  This is my second post for the day, so please scroll down to see my project for Dies R Us!  It's time for school!  Where did the summer go?  And, I hope that you all had a wonderful summer filled with fun and activities!

 

You have until the end of the month, September 30th to join in on the challenge!   The winner will receive a $20 gift certificate to the store and invited to be next month's designer!   What awesome colors and fun inspiration photo.  You can use whatever you desire from the photo...colors...pencils, mason jar...etc.  So, I hope to see your wonderful creation over at the challenge!

 

For my creation, I was inspired to make a card using the colors and add some pencils.  I always loved getting new school supplies.  Just the smell of the crayons made me smile!  Anways, here is my card...

 

 

For my card I started with a black card base and paired it with Doodlebug paper.  I used a library pocket and covered it with paper.  Little Abigail was paper pieced and colored with copics.  Her outfit is from the stamp set So Proud of You.  The ribbon(Licorice) is from Paper Sweeties, also. Here is another view of my card...
