A Rosemary Reflection of Sorts


I love to case my friends! Last night, I was looking at this wonderful card by Marisa on her blog, Rosemary Reflections (you need to check out her blog as it is full of the cleanest, crispest, most colorful things).

I love Marisa's CAS style, and the way she loves to play with colors. I didn't quite capture her crispness - I should have used white instead of speckled white and I should have embossed my sentiment. Next time Marisa!!!! At least I finally got up the guts to try since CAS is not easy for me! I loved the sketch and color challenges Marisa used: ColorQ and Freshly Made Sketches so I may try to play in them when I am not specifically casing someone. My sentiment is from Verve (Marisa loves Verve), my cs is all SU!, and the dp is from my stash (I think it might be My Minds Eye). The flower is from Doodlebug Designs (I layered it, scrunched it, and glittered it up) - I won it a year or so back on the Midnight Madness Challenge.

Hugz to all (and special hugz to Marisa)

    Simply Lovely. I like the speckled paper and your flower looks very nice with the colors against the green leaves. All around great card. I will probably be casing you very soon. Thanks for sharing.

    You did a fabulous job, Nancy!! LOVE your flower!! It jumps off the page. I don't emboss my sentiments so no worries there or with the flecked paper. You rocked both the challenges too :) Thanks for the CASE and kind words. Huge ((hugs)) to you!!

    Yes, I can see Marisa's influence in this creation! Love that flower and the colors you chose. You did come across with the CAS design. Love the border and how it frames the flower to create a stunning effect. This is just gorgeous!

Unopened Mail And My Grocery List

We arrived back from our Las Vegas trip last night so the only thing on my Kitchen Counter is unopened mail and my grocery list.  I have looked up the recipes for most the great food we ate (or wish we ate) in Las Vegas including Bacon Waffles and Chicken and Waffles - so my counter top should look awesome tomorrow (or as soon as I get a waffle maker).  We had lots of fun in Las Vegas but not as much as Crystal and Joey.  If we were still 21 we would have had a blast!  No luck with gambling - but I only gained 1 pound which is a miracle!

Christmas Mice

Hello Crafty Friends, Today, I am playing in some fun challenges with this cute card: The current House-Mouse &Friends Monday Challenge HMFMC #461 is Anything Goes with an optional theme of Pastels. I have some pastel paper in my layers. This card was made with ornaments from a SU! set, a cut up sentiment from RedLead Paperworks, and three mice I cut out of the Spellbinders Sew Sweet stamp set. The background was inspired by Jeanne Streiff's MIX challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com last Friday where she asked us to make a background using a die cut as a stencil.

T is For 10 Years of T-Day, Too much food, and The Art (Always the Art)

Hello Friends. Most of today's post is about celebrating 10 years of Elizabeth hosting T-day parties on her blog .  If you have visited me before, you know that I regularily participate in T-day where we all post something about a drink of any type (the drink can be anything including water and the post can be a real drink, words, movies, art, etc.) on Tuesday (or Monday lol) and link it to Elizabeth's T-day blog post for the week.   This year Elizabeth is asking us to post several things in celebration of the big anniversary.   #1.   Post a picture of something that makes the number 10. I used 10 art supplies that were near me.  I am starting to make more Christmas cards so these were right at hand.  #2.   Post our regular T-day picture/post.  My drink picture today is a lunch we had in Tybee Island last week during our Georgia trip.  We ate at Pier 16 .  Great food and service. It was our favorite meal during the trip. ...
