So today's card is for two challenges. One is a color challenge from Create with Connie and Mary:
The second challenge is from Sketch Frenzy Friday:
So using that design and those colors, I created a fall inspired card. Just wish it felt more like fall!

This week's cQc colors are so pretty but I was lost on what to do. I for some reason was drawn to the British police/phone box stamp that was part of the SU saleabration. I had gotten the set specifically for that one stamp because it reminded me so much of Doctor Who so I only stamp it ever in a variety of blues.

The Kids Clothes all bought- check. I like that we have nice weather almost year round, so we can be in shorts longer and warmer clothes do last longer on my kids who grow at a much slower rate though I admit I know one of these days they are both going to shoot up.
School Supplies- check. I admit to loving the annual...

My husband and I wandered into Downtown Houston for the Flea by Night Market at Discovery Green Park. It was a quaint little market with a variety of goods. One of the vendors was The Tin Armadillo who took cans of all sizes and created amazing artwork out of it. On our first pass of the market this hanging...

Back to School Wreath

Now come on you didn't really think I wouldn't have a wreath for Back to School. I love these colors that I picked out. I used muted primary colors because I didn't want something so vibrant.
This was an easy one to create, the only problem was I had on a black dress so I got all the little fibers on it.
I just...

This week colourQ has this color challenge.
So I once again did a modern MDS take on it. It is clean and simple but is dynamic in my eyes. I mimic not only the colors but the picture as well.

Okay this week I am getting back into the swing of things with being gone for all of July. I finally got my desk cleaned off and all of the stuff I brought back with me. I am kidless for the next 24 hours as well and completely alone till 5 when my hubby comes home, so I am off to the craft store to wander by myself. I...
Well this week's sketch was an fun one after I got going with it. As I was cleaning my desk up (see previous post) I was inspired to create a card and I also thought what a fun card for some one with a milestone birthday. My Mom just turned 60 two weeks ago so I used that age and I hope someone else will too or I can always...

My desk at the moment looks like this:
I suppose I should clean it up. It is a mixture of a card making session and going through the stuff I bought. I cleared out the clearance rack at Michaels while out of town. I found some great embellishments that work really well with the colors SU has now. The embellishment...
