I made this card for the StampTV Color challenge - that Janice sure does come up with great creative challenges! I also made it for Card Patterns Sketch challenge. Just a quick post tonight - I have stamping to do!!! :-)
Thanks for the quick visit! Have a day filled with blessings!

Happy Sunday! I have been busy at my craft table with not enough time at the computer to get the cards up. I hope to get caught up some today since my housework and yard-work was done yesterday. It was a glorious day here yesterday with lots of sunshine and warm Florida breezes. Today is kind of overcast and rain is moving it - great day to be working in my "Craft Room with a View"! This card was made for the April release sketch challenge on StampTV. I wanted to try to get a vintage look which is not my norm. I found the tutorial on making a tissue paper flower on Splitcoaststampers and it was the perfect card to try it with. I cut out part of the glasses from Timeless Treasures so that it looks like there are actual lenses in it. That came out better than I thought it would. The DP was from Basic Grey's Green at Heart and the CS is Fresh Asparagus from GKD. Thanks for coming by.
Tomorrow is Friday - yippie! I am ready for a couple of days off of work. Tonight's card was for a StampTV challenge to paper piece. I did that in this card on the vase and in the picture frame. I used October Afternoon's Report Card paper for the little snowman in the frame and the stripe and the vase. The stamp sets I used are all from GinaK. Lovely Shelf (Nina), Tech Talk (Melanie), Timeless Treasures (Theresa) and Lovely Frames (Nina) for the word "Blessings".
Another valentine that I could incorporate into a challenge for Gina K Designs and also for Little Paper Shop. I used the Timeless Treasures stamp set from GinaK. The lace I had from my supply of embellishments that keeps on growing - probably because I buy some ever time I see them on sale anywhere. I aged the heart using some silver metallic rub and popped up the key. I do like the way it turned out.
Recognizing Treasured Moments in our lives and in the people we love is something that is often overlooked. I was looking through my Christmas pictures the other day and came across this picture of my parents. I love how my dad is holding my mother's hand after almost 60 years of marriage. I am not into scrapbooks right now so I decided to make it into a card and put it on my desk to remind me of those precious moments. This card instantly came to mind when I read the challenge on SSC (Stamping Sisters in Christ) today. Time passes very quickly.
