JUGS #683 and the NEWEST from Dar and Diane!

 I knew just the card I wanted to make for Just us Girls when I saw the word: Hello!  A few months ago, I made THIS card, and you all liked it so much.  Today, I wanted to say HELLO and show an echo... hope I pulled it off!

I love the new HoneyBee Pinstripes and Polk Dots patterned paper.

Here is a little closeup of that wee little SSS sail boat...

... a bit of debossing in the background for interest, and a wave made from a quote die from EH!

My second card is for Dar and Diane of the Double D Challenge fame - they have ANOTHER place to play: Stencil Fun Challenge! This month they are looking for layering stencils.. I have few but this one from Altenew is among my favorites.

Isn't she loverly?  

Thanks, Double D's, for a great time to play with her again!

I love that there is a die to match!

Thanks to all of you for stopping by on a MONDAY!  But maybe Monday isn't your laundry day?

Altenew Inspiration Challenge September 2021

 

Laurie Willison is the host with the most this month at 

Altenew's Inspiration Challenge  She is a mighty wonderful host IRL, too!

I am a very lucky girl to have actually VISITED Laurie - it's been 

a few years, but an evening we'll remember forever!

I had a little fun with the Altenew Statement Flower today -

THEN remembered this challenge!  My colors might have 

been a little brighter to match up with Laurie's potted plants, but I 

love how it turned out.

Here you go, Laurie!  Now let's start planning our

crafty weekend on our Island already!!

Turns out there IS a die for this Statement Flower.   But it was easy enough to cut out.

I gave it a little lift with a SB die cut, and a sentiment from my snippets bin.

I used Distress inks to water color my flowers today.

CAS[E] this Sketch #396

 

A simple but sweet Sketch this week from Ms. Michelle two Ls!

I'm trying to get a read on that pattern:  paper, or embossing?

Here's where my imagination took me: 

- you might recognize the pattern made with a stencil, and a rubber mat. 

 [Flora & Fauna - Leaf]

Those skinny hellos come from Honey Bee's Slimline Sentiments & Eyelet dies, cut from MFT's Fuse Green - yeah.  I don't see green, either.

So!  Where will Michelle's Sketch #396 take your imagination?

Let's go see what she had in mind, shall we?

OH! thanks for stopping by!
