Winnie & Walter Week Two - So Tweet!

If this tickles your fancy, won't you please do a fly-by over at Winnie & Walter this morning?  I'm up for Week Two as Leading Lady!  It's one of the Tweet-est things that has every happened for me - and there is a thank you to all of YOU who sent me love this week!

It will ruffle my feathers, in the most incredibly happy way!!

OH!  Don't forget to leave me a little message here today ... this could be delivered to your in-box at the end of the month!

A three-fer kind of day! The Heart Desires #1

There is a new challenge on the block, and you know I cannot resist that, right?  Well, you'll understand when you see the darling graphic from The Heart Desires for Challenge #1:

Was I right, or was I right?  I have a few [dozen] packages of these darling little Recollections dimensional stickers & round dots, which were just the color I was looking for.  One set perfectly provided a trio of sea creatures - one has used my current personal motto!

Hero Arts 'Hello Gorgeous' sentiment

SSS Stitched Slopes die, Memory Box Cottage leaf for grey seaweed

Big orange Dot from WeRMemoryKeepers

 

My posts will be in the 'feast or famine' mode for a bit, my friends!  Thanks for hanging in there with me!

CAS[E] this Sketch #176

Hello my friends!  I'm back to share our latest CTS Sketch from Sam Simpson - perfect for the supplies I had out on my craft table =]

Isn't it fun?  Here is how I used the design elements:

Winnie & Walter 'Take a Bow' and a 'Hand Stitched' sentiment from Neat n Tangled.

All perfectly at home on this stitched ME panel.

Hope Sam's design inspires you to use a few of your favorite crafty supplies this week ... please join me as I run to check out all of the fabulous cards from the CTS Design Team - they're sure to spark an idea, or three!  It works for me every time!

Tic Tac Toe #11

I couldn't resist using a little bloom sitting on my desk today ... she fit perfectly into the latest board from Tic Tac Toe's challenge #11!  I hardly believe you couldn't guess which row?  A hint: it's one of the diagonals =]

 

No more guessing necessary:

 

Winnie & Walter Addie's Garden and sentiment and heart-shaped ink splats from

 Kindness with Evelin T. Designs

Scalloped border panel:  Noelle Cutaways

 

My ink splatters take the form of dew drops today ... and I do wish they appeared more clearly!  I've had such an over-whelming amount of support this week from friends!  Thank you to all, especially my phone-chat friends!  xxx

Muse #169 - a farewell

Sadly, today I say farewell.  To say I've enjoyed my stint as your Muse is a total understatement ... I've loved every single week, post, comment, card, and OH the friends I've made along the way - we must all stay in touch!

For my final Muse, I CASE'd my first Muse card!  It was a silly little idea I had to accentuate the negative.  Just one of many  silly ideas I had for my weeks as your Muse.  I do hope you enjoyed those extra little challenges I sent your way.  Thank you for all your wonderful creations - as your Muse I was meant to inspire, I was certainly more inspired by you!

Today's card accentuates the positive - die cuts!  and could I ever miss the chance to use a last little slip of vellum?

Inside:

"... this isn't goodbye!  Every moment together, every memory created,  will be cherished forever!"

 

 I will love seeing your cards in the Muse gallery! 

You'll join me, won't you?

 

Sending a pocketful of love and hugs to you all, and to my wonderful team-mates!  Thank you, Ardyth, for inviting me.

Surprise!! I am the June Winnie & Walter Leading Lady!

If I am dreaming, let me sleep!!  What a complete honor, and  huge surprise to be asked to represent Winnie & Walter this month!  I adore all things W&W and I'm sure Shay heard my shriek of excitement all the way to San Antonio!!! 

As it is the season for planting, and I am taking a break this year from getting my hands dirty, I couldn't wait to do a little water-colored gardening for this first week!!

Head on over to the Winnie & Walter blog to see how I've created the perfect, heat-embossed 'canvases' with In Bloom: Anna's Flora ... here is a little tease:

There will be many supporting roles from many other Winnie & Walter products, I promise! 

OH!  Before you go, I have to tell you that Shay has generously given me a bit of love from the W&W Shop to share with one on you: 

 

Be sure to let me know you've visited today, and I hope to see you each Saturday for the month of June!  [One comment per post, please - shipping and handling not included] I just know you'd love to add some awesome new goodies to your Winnie & Walter stash!

 

Thanks for stopping in!

CAS[E] this Sketch #175

Hannelie has such a fun sketch for us today ... you will not believe her gorgeous card, by the way!!!  



You know I never peek at my team-mates cards before I create my card ... which you'll soon know is a true statement when you see it!!  Thanks, Hannelie - SO much fun!

For CTS #175:

Remember that Washi tape I found recently? 

Added a sweetly camouflaged W&W Big, Bold, and Friends cutaway,

and a few strategically placed enamel dots

Inside sentiment:

"Some days, smiles are hard to find ... seeing you always makes one appear!"

 

Another close-up - that KI Doilies paper smile is REALLY hiding!

Just look at that lovely slip of PTI Linen vellum - *swoon*

 

Each week YOU all give the CTS team so many reasons to smile ... thank you doesn't seem adequate - but truly - thank you!
