MUSE #15, CAsology #182, AAA #57, ATCAS #80 and OCC

I've been debating on how to post my cards.  I usually have one card per post but that means you have a flood of emails, if that's how you follow me. If I post 3 or more cards per post, those who are making Design Team comments have to look through everything else to find my entry.  I think most of you do one card per post and it may be because that's all you have ready at the time.  I'm just curious as to how you feel about this subject.

Today I have three cards for you.  The first one is for Muse, where new Design Team member Jenni Murray has created a lovely card for us to follow. (see below mine)
As you can see, I pretty much copied Jenni's card although I used PTI's Harvest Berries for my floral image.
This next one is for both CASology where the cue word is "ADORE" and AAA where the theme is "Love Me Like You Do."
I embossed my NBUS Penny Black stamp in silver and added red Stickles to the hearts.
ETA: I forgot I intended to send this card to Addicted to CAS where the code word is RED.

Next up is homework from my Online Watercolor Class.
It's a simple geometric pattern and although the colors are supposed to be varied I can see where I need more practice on my paint to water ratio.  

Thanks for dropping by.

Well, I always think it is a treat to come check out one card and find 2 or 3, Bobby! Love your take on Jenni's Muse card (and can't believe I still haven't bought Harvest Berries) and am really impressed with your watercolor pattern! The red stickles add a perfect touch to your CASology card - thanks for playing along this week!

Three wonderful cards, Bobby. I love them all. I've been working on my Muse, and wish I had thought to use Harvest berries. Really love your little heart flowers. They are so very sweet. Well, you probably know what I will say to your question--I prefer to see a bunch of cards in one visit than one card each for a bunch of visits. I just don't have time to visit 3 times a day--wish I did, so the multi card post is a real treat for me. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.

Your cards are a treat no matter how many you post at a time, Bobby! I started doing two cards per post all of last year and I may even do three sometimes this year. I'm like you in that I don't want to show up in people's readers/inboxes every day and have them groan! (Although I think I did post every day in the early years!) I also started doing more than one card per post for my own stash reasons and it really helped me build up a supply to have on hand. OTOH, I have trouble when there are five or six cards on someone's post because I feel like I've shorted them in my comment because it takes too long to comment on each one that way. I hope that made sense.

I think you nailed Jenni's MUSE card and that heart plant is a really cool image I don't think I've seen before. Finally, your no-line watercolor homework is A+!! Hugs, Darnell

Your MUSE card is amazing! I know it's a direct CASE but it's still awesome... I love the other two, and am glad to see someone else adding their homework for us to see :o) I'm a newbie on the blogging thingy so I don't have a good answer for you but I'm sure lots of others will help!

I have to agree with you about having more than one card per post. I always feel bad to comment on only one card (when I visit as part of DT), but sometimes time is limited and I have no choice! On my own blog (don't laugh... ) I want to give every card it's own opportunity to "shine" and I think with more than one card per post sometimes some might be over looked? Long story, but you asked! On to your cards for today... I agree with Darnell, they are all looking amazing... and so glad to find one in the CASology gallery!

A great take on Jenni's Muse card - love the colours.

Love your cards, your pink + green combo for Muse is perfect!

Kim Heggins said...

I have to agree with Joyce...I love seeing several cards on a post. Not something I do very often but it is nice to see such a fabulous collection all in one spot. Just love them all Bobby!

TaeEun said...

Beautiful cards, Bobby! Love the ginkgo branch stamp.That gives warm and elegant look to the card. And the graphic design of your homework looks great!

I think we've talked about this before, so I'll just say I love all three, and you just go ahead and do whatever you want ... because you can, and we'll love you any way!

Well, you've had a busy day! Love the softer take on this week's Muse - so glad you joined us this week, Bobby!

Three awesome cards Bobby. LOVE your take on the MUSE card, and your CAS-ology card is so sweet and a fresh take with the "heart" blooms. And great job on your watercolouring class. You've done so well with the chevrons.

I enjoyed seeing all three today, but you should just post how many you want ... one, two, three or more. For me, I tend to just post one card at a time, most of the time. Occasionally I'll have two. But I like to go into detail about how I made it, since I'm all about the techniques, so write ups on more cards just makes my posts even that much more wordy (I am a wordy blogger!). :) I hope to make more multiples this year, that is my goal and it seems to be the goal of a lot of people. As for the time for commenting, I'm sure multiple cards are less time for visitors, but not everyone leaves a comment on every card, so it's up to them how much time they want to spend. My 2 cents worth (and more!). :) xx

These are all so lovely! I voted for your Muse card...

Sazzle Dazzle said...

A stunning selection of cards Bobby and loving them all. Great take on the Muse, stunning touch of RED for the ATCAS and thrilled to see you've linked up at AAA Cards too. Thanks so much. Sarah

Barb Ghig said...

Awesome cards, Bobby! I love your take on Jenni's Muse card, and how you used your flourishes and hearts on your 2nd card! Great job on your watercolor pattern, too!
Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Addicted to CAS!

Bobby all sweet cards, the ginko Muse card is beautiful. The glitter hearts on CASology are so cute! Thank you so much for sharing with us at CASology!

Hey Bobby!!! Great cards!! I love them all. Thank you so much for playing with us this week at CASology.

Greta said...

Terrific cards! Harvest Berries is one of my favorite stamps & I just love your Muse card! I prefer to post one card at a time, but I know that makes more posts for my friends to read & sometimes challenges are about to close, so have to post more than 1.

Greta said...

Congrats on the well-deserved Top 3 at Muse!

lovely card!

Anita in France said...

Loved seeing all three today, Bobby ... especially as the ginkgo leaves are award winners at Muse! Those shimmery hearts really pop against the grey and your watercolouring is really cool ... such a fab graphic pattern! I don't mind how you post ... seeing any of your cards is always a delight ... it just doubles or triples depending on how many there are! I usually do one card per post ... only because if I were to wait till there were more ready, I'd only be posting about twice a month! Hugs, Anita :)

Lovely cards, Bobby! Thanks for joining us at ATCAS.

I don't really mind which you do - scrolling is not such a big deal! Having said that I love all the cards so it was nice to get a look! The red live one is gorgeous - so clean and simple! TFS at aaa cards!
