Hello,
Thanks for stopping by!
I am getting ready for an upcoming weekend retreat so I am trying to organize my supplies...nightmare... but it is fun to find things I have not used in a long time! I am trying to only bring what I will use....I always overpack and this time I am trying to keep it simple! I'll let you know how that goes...lol.
The stamps for today's cards are from Mama Elephant--- wonderful stamps! I recently received 3 sets of the new stamps and they were right on my table waiting to be used! I am pretty sure I am going to get a lot of use from these stamps!
Here is today's sketch from Operation Write Home
And here is my first card:
The sentiment is hard to read in my photo so I took a close up below. I used chalk ink- it gives a nice, soft feel.

And since I am having so much fun with the ME stamps, I decide to play along with their challenge-another sketch challenge- I love them for when I am stuck for creativity- gives me a great place to start!
I used my beloved sakura glaze on the 3 hearts to give them some shine- you can see it on the top heart. Love the stamp of the hands and a simple yet truthful sentiment.
OK, back to sorting and sifting thru my huge mess. I am looking forward to fun times with my gal pals.... but I will be missing a couple of friends who are not coming this time! This will be my 6th retreat organized by Lisa and Cynthia- best crops I have ever attended! Great location, lots of space, lots of laughter, very relaxing weekends- I even get some scrapping done! And the marvelous food doesn't hurt!http://www.celebratememoriescrop.com/Home.html
Have a wonderful week!
Craft on,
Diane
Fun cards! Lucky U on the retreat! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleterah-ta-ta-ta-tahhhh. Thanks for putting that song in my head now! LOL Great cards, great sentiment, and I love the pink & gray colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, all those pretty papers go so well together. Both card are terrific and the sentiments are equally nice. I hate to be the one to tell you, but I don't think "keeping it simple" and "crop" are possible in the same sentence. I'll be interested in seeing how it went for you. Enjoy your crop.
ReplyDeleteOh, those are so pretty! I always love pink and gray together and the sentiments are wonderful! And, like Carol, I now have that song in my head! :) Have a fantabulous time at your crop!
ReplyDeleteLovin the new ME stamps, your color choices are one of my favorites. Have fun on your crop!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love all those yummy pink and gray papers. The bling is a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you packing up. I did that last month for a weekend retreat. Boy... that's hard work. :) Have a good time and thanks for playing!
Awww....I will miss you too!!!! Have an amazing time!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are LOVELY! Thanks for playing along in the Mama Elephant challenge! :)
