3M: Spring Rain!

Hi friends!


                                
                     Today I'm sharing my card for the 3M.

The 3 Musketeers is a card group of Jeanette, Barb and I who

stamp a mystery image, send it to each other 

(Angel Policies apply, so please check those!)

and then we make a card based on that ONE image.

This month, Jeanette sent us this darling image from 

Spellbinders House Mouse Spring Rain.

Thank you, Jeanette!


My card is super simple - I ran out of time with a super busy summer

and missed the due date :(

We are going 900 MPH here and well, done is better than NOT DONE!

And I tried to be fancy with the rain by using a color blender to smoosh 

the ink like water ~ not quite the success I was looking for, LOL!



                      We normally post on the 9th of each month

so check back in August to see what's cookin!

not. literally.

 just like ... a saying, ya know ... okay, BYE! :)

It's Happy Meow-r Somewhere! IPC 254


 Hi friends!

There's a new Inky Paws Challenge #254 

with a fun color palette and inspiration photo!



You have all month long to create a card/project

and link it up to the IPC here!




For my card today, I'm sharing Newtons Happy Meow-r

with a CAS card!

This came together so quickly by using stamps, dies

and fun to use designer paper called Summertime.






To create the backdrop, I used the Heart Frames die set

and the sentiment is die cut with Basic Frames. 



Here is where you can enter your card/project.

 We look forward to seeing what you create!


Thanks for stopping by!
