MUSE #165 and CAS Mix-up

This is my card for Muse  and below is Anita's inspiration.

I used a lighter pink and embossed the Roses for You by SSS and the sentiment from PB in white.  The roses and leaves were colored with a white Prismacolor pencil and then some Inktense pencil added to the leaves only.

I'm also sending this to CAS Mix-up.

I stamped the flowers and sentiment and heat embossed them both.  My choice is not on the list but I'm sure it's included under the 'etc' and that is pencils on colored cardstock.

May 15 is a special day in our family.  It is my triplet grandchildren's birthday and they turned 18 today.  Where did that time go?  It seems like only yesterday they were born.

Kyle, Emily and Abby

The sun was a little bright that day so there's some squinting going on. It's the newest picture I have of them on my phone.  It also would have been my parents 74th wedding anniversary.  And to top it off, it snowed today. That's right.  It snowed. :( 

I'm glad you dropped by.  Have a wonderful week.

FM #120 and OCC

It's great that I'm getting my Christmas cards done by joining in two Christmas card challenges but I'm also getting my Valentines done the same way.  No, there are no specific valentine challenges but they seem to fit into some of the challenges.  For example, this one at Freshly Made.

I turned it sideways and came up with this:

And for the online card class

This was a technique Kristina Werner taught using colored pencils to color through a stencil.  This is an old, old stencil I had and it was perfect for making another valentine.
