Timeless Tuesday....frame it

Well Timeless Tuesday says ...frame it. Well I don't really follow directions all the time and since I stink at cutting I just pretended that by using one of the sweet pierced frames I could make it work. I used an embossing folder that looks like honey-comb. It's a SU one and I really like the effect or is it affect? Stamped the Gerber Daisy image and colored with my faithful colored pencils. Cut out 2 little bees....hear them buzzing with excitement?? Then I slapped it all gently together and added a bow easy bow. Easy except for the cutting which I admit is not my strongest ability. Fini and that's that. Hope you all have a nice week. It's been cold here and we even had some snow. Where oh where is Spring time?

Timeless Tuesday...no red and green

Well TT over at Flourishes is to do a Christmas card/project without the traditional red & green ... easy peasy as my card to be sent out is not red and or green this year. I used white card stock and embossed the snowflake pattern for my background and then with some super sparkly paper I picked up at Hobby Lobby I used a Sizzix die and cut out my two flakes. Added a little jewel in the center and found an old stamp set from Hero Arts for my rejoice phrase which I stamped in as close to the color I could, using SU's razzle dazzle raspberry or something like that and I did a second generation to get the color to soften up a bit. Fini and to send these beauties off in the mail I of course had to put a crinkled piece of cs in the front of the card . This soft beauty of a card is as easy as punkin pie because I did all my embossing and die cutting and then just sat and slapped it all together.
Christmas shopping...oh dear what a dilema. Bought and took back 3 articles already and I'm getting too old for the hassel. Me thinks a card with some green stuff in it would be easier but my grass is no longer green so I guess that means putting in currency instead. Just kidding. Have a great week fellow stampers.

Timeless Tuesday Sketch

Well it's TT over at Flourishes and Heather has made it a sketch challenge which I love as it means someone else is doing my work of placement for me so Yeah here goes. I certainly hope I get a few visits on this one as last week I was left crying and hurt that no one came by and said hello. Just kidding I realize people do have lives and fun things to do. So this week I chose the pansies ( or at least I think they are ) from Botanical Bookplates vol. 2 and went to work. My card has a base of olive green and a mat of purple that I ran through my machine using a embossing folder from SU called Fancy Fans which I really love. Cut an oval, stamped my flowers, did a bit of coloring with my colored pencils and finished off with some lavender ribbon and sentiment from the Zinnia set and a punch to set it off. Finished quickly. Liar, liar, pants on fire...it took a bit of time to get it all together but there you have it.
Hope your week will be a goodie...since it's so hot I will head for the pool and sit in the sun to keep my glowing tan which looks like I just returned from a romantic place on the ocean. What a joke huh? But a girl can dream now can't she! Happy week fellow bloggers.

Timeless Tuesday...say thank you

Today at TT over at Flourishes we are to make a thank you card. Well I don't need one at present but it's always nice to have one available now isn't it? I used the image from Spring Bouquet and when it came time to put it together I didn't have a cute flower shaped button in pink so I went with the yellow. I guess it's Ok but would have preferred the pink. My card is a pink base ( of course you can see that ) with the bottom being dotted swiss. Did you ever wonder why it's called dotted swiss instead of let's say dotted french or dotted german? Anyway I used my favorite method of coloring ...my water colored pencils of course and my die cut is one from SU. The thank you phrase is from the Flourishes Clematis set punched out with the fancy little rectangle. And voila I'm done.
Really tired today as I did all my yard work and I guess when you get to be my age that is quite a feat! It looks lovely with my grass being a very healthy green and my flower box filled with the most beautiful deep purple petunias along with some lavendar bocupa flowers. I'll take a picture when they get a bit fuller but it sure is pretty. Hope you are all doing well and are experiencing good weather. It's a nice 65 here with plenty of sunshine. Good week to you all.
