colourQ challenge #235…

CFC130

Some of you may remember from this post Bright And Happy about my SIL’s diagnoses with pancreatic cancer. Since so many were asking I thought I would let you know she peacefully passed away early yesterday evening. She was 58 . Six weeks ago she had no idea she even had cancer. It was very fast. Olga never had children of her own but was a mother to all. 

Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and cards. 

Good Morning! I didn't realy know what to do with myself so I just headed into the craft room.  I saw these colors on colourQ and decided to make a happy card, and Cas-ual Friday is use an oval. 

As you can see I used my new Bunnies & Bows Die and Spring Flowers Die Se from Lil Inkers Design. The eggs are in the flower set . I didn't even realize it until after I ordered and I was so happy I bought the flower set as well. Sentiment is from Stamps By Judith.

I am also adding this to "Technique Challenge" VSC Challenge #22 something new

I loved this basket and sentiment!

 I kinda like this card , above but go back and forth with it… just not sure about my modern flowers.

 The die used to cut the hills is from Landscape mama elephant

 

I used Lil Inkers Stitched matts on the card above. And the tag below is from Papertrey Ink.

 I knew I would be making a tag. Kelly always makes so many beautiful tags and I also had to add the gingham bow something else Kelly is know for. So much fun making this tag!

CAS-ual Friday’s

Curtain Call’s

I couldn't wait to use my new stamps from Purple Onion Designs. A few of my blog friends are designers for this company, that is new to me . I love everything they have made with these new stamps KayM has made some gorgeous cards with these stamps. I placed the order and received my stamps in just a few days. Because the shipping cost less than I paid::::: I received cash back with my order! That was a first for me. I also received a few free stamps with my order.

 Since I am not the best colorer I took out my very old chalk cubes to color and shade the branch. Snowy the bird was colored with my Copic markers.

I hope you enjoy your weekend. 

We have cooled down in one day almost 25 degrees cooler. Nice!

sentiment stamp is from Stampabilities

 I love the way the rope circle fits around this Gracie stamp, gives it a bolder look!

I chose the first : Challenge 1 - Greenish Halloweenish  

I think this box would look great in patterned paper or stamped before you adhere the tape.

saw this box on pinterest

No cutting just fold and a bit of tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great weekend!

Stamps used :Gracie at Halloween 

Ocean Bound 

Pinstripe Backgrounder( the best stamp ever!)

dies : Papertrey Ink and Lil Inkers
