Leaving on a Jet Plane

 

Card Patterns - Sketch 24

Aloha!  Today I am headed for Alaska and will be gone for two weeks.  If I can find an internet connection I’ll post pictures from my Alaskan trip.  Warning!  My Alaska plans include fishing for salmon and halibut.  So do be ready for a photo with a fish in it.

Today’s card is a combo of challenges: Card Patterns Sketch 24 and Color Throwdown #52 (Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, Perfect Plum).   The card is a combination of SU!’s long-retired Meow Meow stamp set and TAC’s (don’t remember the stamp set name).  I’m going to be missing my furry assistant (Alice—Meow!) and wanted my last card to have a cat theme.  As I type this post Alice is curled up next to me catching a quick nap.

I am going to be offering B-L-O-G  C-A-N-D-Y after I get back and unpacked.  I have got two weeks to figure out what fun stuff for some lucky person to win.

Here’s to Mojo Monday

 

Mojo Monday - Week 96  I really love this Verve stamp set because it comes with other flower types stamping options besides the tulips. I chose to use tulips for this 5 1/4 x 5 1/4" card.  The tulips were stamped on white paper using SU!’s Cameo Coral ink and then cut out.  The plant itself was stamped using retired SU! In-Color Blue Bayou.  The SU! DSP in the background is retired and happened to be within easy reaching distance.  Now you know how I determined today’s color scheme—run with whatever the DSP in hand has got going on.

Mojo Monday week 96 sketch challenge was used to create this card.  I just didn’t have the Mojo to come up with something on my own after cleaning house and cooking most of the day.  Besides,  I thought the sketch was a great one and also perfect for my Spellbinder dies.  OK, I was feeling lazy if the truth is to be told. 

I hope you enjoy today’s card!!

The Sweet Stop Saturday Sketch Challenge (SSS13) has spin on this week’s sketch challenge: use a Christmas image.  I’m a certain that this the earliest in the year that I have ever made a Christmas card.  I think I’ll send this to my good friend from childhood days.  She teases me that my Christmas cards [...]
