Time Out #256

This Time Out challenge is being sponsored by Funky Fossil Designs and their owner Sarah Gray has made a card for us to CASE.

I combined two older stamp sets to make my card.

The paint brushes are from PTI and the tubes are from WPlus9, colored with Altenew artist markers.  The panel was trimmed to mount it on a yellow cardbase and the sentiment was computer generated. 

What part of Sarah's card will you use to make your card?  The winner of the challenge will receive a $25 £ credit to the Funky Fossil store.  For inspiration check out what the Design Team has done.

CAS(E) This Sketch #252

I wanted to do something different with the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch.

My first inclination was to cut strips of PP and follow the sketch to a T.  Then I pulled out a card for my granddaughter's birthday and thought the stamp set I used for it would fit into the sketch.

She loved her card and I gave her art supplies as a gift.  I think I'll save this one as a thank you when she presents me with one of her paintings. ;)

Everyone arrived home safely from our Christmas celebration although one family made it just before I 94 across southern Michigan was closed between their exit and the next.  Too many reckless drivers caused a multi-car pile up.  By the time one son made it home to Traverse City he had 10 inches of snow in his driveway.  We all had a wonderful time with lots of good food, games and laughter.

Here's wishing you all a wondrous year in 2018.  May your troubles be small and your blessings be many.

Just Us Girls #407 - Color Week

Our host Sue has chosen the following colors for Color Week at Just Us Girls:

I love primary colors.  They remind me of painting and that influenced my choice of stamps.

A WPlus9 Stamp set colored with Distress Inks make up the background. The sentiment was computer generated.

What do you think of when you think of red, yellow and blue?  Head on over to see what the rest of the Design Team and our guest designer Darnell have made using these colors.  We hope they inspire you to make a card for the gallery.  If you do you may be chosen Chic of the Week and have a chance to be our guest designer in October.
