Love is in The Air

 Hello, I hope that everyone is having a great week! Can I just say here how much Blogger is driving me nuts. They no longer support my browser which I did not know so I was having all sorts of trouble moving from blog to blog. Then they shut it off totally and I have to use a new browser which I am not crazy about. I don't like change and this is definitely throwing me off. This post is taking me forever to complete! Oh well enough complaining.

 This week we have a sketch challenge for you to play along with us at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. I loved this sketch and it worked perfectly with my new stamp(isn't he just the perfect valentine). I love to take the guesswork out of creating and even sometimes to challenge myself by using a sketch for my cards. Here is the sketch for this week, great huh. I did flip it so that the text would be on the other side. I also couldn't wait to use those heart beads that I bought in Dover a couple of weeks ago, I bought all three colors!

The other ladies created fabulous creations to inspire you so be sure to stop by their blogs and check them out. Then come play along with us!

Oh So Blue...And White Too!

Can you believe it is already the end of November and Thanksgiving is in just 3 days. I can't wait. Today being Tuesday it is time for another challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. This week is a really fun color challenge for everyone to play, blue and white or blue and silver. I happen to think that blue is one of the best colors ever created so I jumped at the chance to create a card in it!


Isn't this Magnolia snowman just the cutest. I just love that they also make a matching snowflake for the one that the snowman is holding. I stamped the side panel in different shades of blue ones to accent the image. I can't believe that I bought them lst year and are just getting around to using them now. I also had to include lots of blue gems, pearls and glitter! At my LSS they had these great clear snowflake buttons (the 2 at the corners of my image) that I colored blue with my Copics and added a pearl in the center. Don't you just love when find something that is fun to use as an added surprise!

All the DT love the color blue because it shows in the fabulous creations that they have created to inspire you this week. Be sure to stop by their blogs.
