Sunflowers & Dragonflies

Thank You

Happy Friday.  Do you have big plans?  Donnie and I are going to have a quiet time at home, while making plans for our holidays in a week.

Today’s thank you card uses the Faux Domino technique from the Technique Junkie Newsletter.  I made this for our friend who generously picked up our doors and delivered them to our house, and put all five doors up for us.  As usual, Donnie and I continue on renovations for our humble little condo.  It is 33 years old and none of the previous owners did any work on it.  Needless to say, there is so much work to do.

Have a safe holiday weekend.

ODBD Texture It Challenge

Hello friends.  It’s the middle of the week and time for me to take part in ODBD Texture It challenge.  One of my favourite spiritual sayings is this beautiful one I used today.  September’s release is already out and there is a blog hop to win a gift certificate, so hop on over.

My background was embossed and distressed.  The green on my card was cut with the large rick rack border from My Favourite Things.

Mom, if you are reading this, notice that my turquoise matches my pink and purple.  My mom is now beading and I tried to tell her, over the phone, what colours work together.

What are some of your favourite colour combinations?

hugs,

Beth

I thought it would be fun to share some things that caught my eye over the week:

Paper Possibilities Monochromatic card.  This takes Copic colouring to the next level.

My Cardz-My Passion has a Monochromatic card that is jaw dropping.

Carole’s coloured zentangle is breathtaking.

Peet made a darling teapot cards.

Clean style on the Hero Arts Flickr Group.

Patti at Cherish Each Precious Day has a gorgeous wreath card.

Our Daily Bread Weekly Challenge

Our Daily Bread Designs has a new challenge up, so I got right into it and this is what I came up with.

ODBD challenge is ribbon, charm, plus one.   Since I didn’t have a charm, I used brads, and my “plus one” is the clouds.

I mixed clear glitter with clear embossing powder and sprinkled it all over my image and mat, and heat embossed it for a very pretty sparkly shine.

Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs, Noah’s Ark; Odd Bird Planet, clouds;  Ribbon:  Hobby Lobby; Brads, Joann’s

Have a nice weekend!

Glimmer Lace Baby Booties

The new issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter is out so I can show you what I created for them.  I think this technique adds an elegance to these baby booties.

Have a good day, and thanks for stopping by!

Still under renos and need your advice on table lamps

I’m still under renovations and came across some cool table lamps and am in the mood to spend.  I love this red poppy lamp because it coordinates with my personal painting of poppies that I have hanging in the livingroom.

BUT

I love this green lamp because my adjoining kitchen is in this colour.

What colour of lamp do you think I should buy?  Shhhh, don’t tell Donnie.

Hugs

Best Buds

Isn’t this picture hillarious?  My imps sat still for 2 seconds, just long enough for the lady behind the camera to bark to get their attention.  After 1 to 2 seconds, Snow and Layla jumped out of the bucket, and another camera lady and I quickly threw them back into the bucket and stepped to the side.  This was a repeated process that gave us one great photo. I love my babies and wanted the best photo possible for my selfish needs.

While I was at Stephanie’s house to scrapbook, I took this photo along with me, so it didn’t sit on the shelf  longer than a week.  A record for me! (shh).

Enjoy your weekend friends!
