Flowers and Tags

Happy Wednesday! We are in Abbeville, Louisana today and I thought I would post before we go on a "Swamp Tour". I may get eaten by something big and ugly......My hubby wants to go see a real, live swamp, he is intrigued by this since we live in the Pacific Northwest and we don't have that sort of thing there.
So, on to my card. I saw a card done with tags and flowers and just fell in love with the layout. Well, in the end my card didn't end up looking anything like that one, I guess I will try again later. :0).
Card base is GinaK Luxury White. Sentiment is from Theresa Momber's Happy Camper. Small pearls are Martha Stewart, everything else is Stampin' Up! (retired DSP, Tulip image, layering cardstock. Oh, and I colored the images with Koh-i-noor pencils and OMS.
Hope you enjoy! Have a great day and God Bless!

MOJO 102

Happy Wednesday to everyone! My card today is for Julee's Mojo Monday. This is sketch 102 for her! What a great talent she is! I really enjoyed doing this sketch and I liked how the card turned out. Hope you do too!
The card base is that wonderful Gina K Luxury 120 pound! (White, this time.) Pattern paper is from a DCWV stack from way back. I used my Nestibilities to cut the small scallop circle, then a Marvy punch for the plain circle. A Paper Shapers punch did the work on the corner for me. The ink used is Danube Blue from Memento-just love their ink! I find it works best on the clear stamps. Stamped images are by Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from Theresa Momber's "Happy Camper" (GKD). Small oval pearls are Martha Stewart and ribbon is from.......who know? :0)
Thanks for stopping in today! God Bless!

Happy Birthday Jim!

Good Day to you all. It is not quite noon here, so I am in between Good Morning and Good Afternoon!
The card I have today, I made over the weekend for my son Jim. He will be 26 tomorrow....he is my baby. I try not to think about it much, cuz' that might make me feel OLD!
I started by sponging the background with Memento's Summer Sky and Danube Blue. I was hoping to make it look like clouds over the mountains. I'm getting there, but still have a ways to go with sponging/blending colors. (I'd like to be a mouse in Theresa Mombers' closet, just to watch how she does this!!) The green is Stampin' Up's Mellow Moss. Cardstock is GinaK's Chocolate Kiss and SU Whisper White. Pattern paper is from a Basic Grey stack. Happy Birthday and Mountain images are from the Happy Camper set by Theresa Momber.
Hope you enjoy! Have a great day. God Bless!
