Stampin' Chez Moi

I'm not sure if your card stash is like mine..but when I need a 'thinking of you' or 'get well' card....well, there is none to be had! Oh dear, I guess the housework/laundry/gardening etc. will have to wait ~ 'cause I need to go create! What a fabulous early morning of creating I had! I found two fabulous challenges to use as my starting place ~ thanks all, for these wonderful challenges that you bring our way each week.  Today I played with the sketch from JUGS#187 & the color challenge from crazy4challenges ....oh do pop in on these challenges and join in the fun...there is still time to play! I really enjoyed these colours and then along with the sketch, I think it came together quite nicely! although I'm not to sure about the two different colored ribbons ~ I thought of changing it..but those polka dots on the pink ribbon!!! How could I exchange that ~ so I decided to go with it! I went with my Labels Collection Die for the centre shapes (...

What a wonderful evening I've had ~ we seem to be running lately and then this fabulously quiet evening was ushered into my presence ~ oh, what to do??? so I ran downstairs into my studio and played! First I hunted for the challenges that I wanted to join, found those and then grabbed my two new dies from MFT that I ordered at Joan's Garden ! Oh what a beautiful evening ~ music playing and just a relaxing time of creativity....and I found myself thinking....this is what it feels like, and oh how I'm loving my time! So here are the two challenges ~ Mojo Monday and I went with the square version!  and then grabbed the colours from The Play Date Cafe ! and then grabbed the colours from The Play Date Cafe! Tangerine  . . .  Apricot  . . .  Mint So out came Tangerine Tango, Apricot Appeal & Green Galore...these colours were the closest that I could find to go along with this! And my card!!! I'm so sorry that this picture didn't...

I had so much fun creating in my studio yesterday and was thrilled when my Mother's Day card qualified for three fabulous challenges. I absolutely love the colour challenge 134 over at PPA , you truly need to give this colour challenge a try ~ you'll love it!  After you check this challenge out, pop in at the girls from  Stamping 411  for the SSC 254 sketch challenge and then my card qualified over at the  PP94  challenge to celebrate Mothers. What a fabulous trio of challenges...oh you just have to play along!!! Here is my card for my wonderful mother ~ thanks for your friendship mom ~ my mother is also my knitting partner, curling team leader, tea partner, owner of Moocher's Cafe and the door is always open for lunch.... and I can also call her friend ~ I am blessed! thank you SO much for stopping by today ~ I hope you enjoyed your little visit ~ if you have ANY questions, please do not hesitate to ask....I'd love to hear from...
