Flourishes BBB Challenge for May

Hi there! As you may know I like to change my coasters to different themes or seasons and after I got this set, I knew it would be perfect for my coasters. I'm entering it in Flourishes "Bring Back Beautiful" challenge.  All the images were colored with Copic's and I sponged Bashful blue around the images. The coaster are from Micheal's.The images are from "A Year of Flower's 1" from Flourishes and at the bottom I made one using Flourishes "Berry Sweet" Oh dear! now I need that set with the peaches in it!! Wouldn't that look good?





Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Flourishes Alphabet Challenge

Hi there! I was finally able to get back into some stamping today. I made this card for Flourishes TIMELESS TUESDAY CHALLENGE. Today's challenge is Alphabet Letter” Pick one alphabet letter and use at least three supplies/elements
that start with the letter of your choice.
I decided to use the letter "D" for die cut, Daffodils, dew drops, Designer paper and a doily. Got a bit carried away!! The stamps set I used is"A Year of Flowers1" by Flourishes. This is a beautiful set.  The die's are from Spellbinders.



Hope you are having a wonderful day and thanks for looking.

GKD MAY CSS BLOG HOP

Welcome to GKD STAMP TV's CSS ALUMNI INSPIRATION CHALLENGE for MAY. This great photo is provided by Brenda Turner. I love this beautiful photo!
You should have arrived here from the fabulous talented Cheri Weston. If you get lost along the way , you can get the entire list of hop participants at Stamp TV.

For my card I was inspired by the roses in the vase and rose colors. I used two stamp sets of Melanie Muenchinger, the roses are from "Holiday Basket" and the vase is from "Buds & Vases"  both are from Gina K. Designs. The ribbon and card stock are also from GKD.
I colored the images with Copic's and cut them out. For the vase I wanted to use, I thought was a little too large for my roses, so I inked the inside lines with a memento marker and stamped it on some DP adding some grey shadows, then cutting along the inside lines, I now have a smaller vase!! It's like have two stamps in one!! I love that!
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (May 15), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!
Your next stop along the way is the incredibility talented Jennie Harper.

Have a great week-end and thanks for stopping by.

Hi, last night we got to view what is called a super moon. I snapped a couple of photo's of it.
I thought I would share this one with you. Not the best photo but I used my Lumix just on auto setting.
Not too bad considering I don't know what I'm doing!!!  It was really bright and kinda cool.


Have a great day and thanks for stopping by
