Go where the road takes you - C4G #278

 Hi!  It is time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "seaside/coast."  

Here's my seaside scene...

My image is Delicious Doodles A Scottish Castle.  I love this image!  It reminds me of my visits to the UK.  I would so love to "go where to road takes me" back to see more castles!!!!  I was able to visit Duff House, Brodie Castle, Fyvie Castle, and Dunnottar Castle (sadly on a very foggy day!) on a trip to Scotland, and was thrilled beyond description to also go to Sandringham and Buckingham Palace!!! 
My paper is the Paper Studio Country Road.  My flower is Sizzix TH Tattered Flowers, and my sentiment is Sunny Studio Happy Camper.  

We'd love to have you come play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

with sympathy - TMS #777

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  Another challenge, another sketch.  This one is very versatile!  I had several ideas but chose to make a sympathy card...

My paper is the Paper Studio Cape Cod.  I made the waves in the sketch with MFT Stitched Ric Rac.  The image is Delicious Doodles.  The sentiment is Raisin Boat Stunning Silhouettes.  Rather that make a mat for the main panel, I distressed it a bit with a sanding block. 

Here's the sketch...

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the TMS DT...

I miss you - C4G #219

Hi!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "seascape."  We want to see whatever that means to you.  Most people think of a beach, but this image immediately came to mind and is a perfect representation of what I would see when I went to the bay/sea near where I grew up and also when I traveled... (Below I added a couple of pics I took when we were in northern Scotland several years ago.)

My image is Delicious Doodles Scottish Castle.  It does seem more of a masculine image, but it's all I had to represent the sea.  And I added sparkly dots to make more girly. :)   My DP is MME Portobello Road.  My sentiment is Raisin Boat You Said It! and cut out with Simon Says Stamp Tiny Tags.  Twine and adhesive dots from my stash finished it off.   

Here are my pics taken in a small town on the North Sea in Scotland... 

Please come and play along with us in our "Seascape" challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day! 

Triple time Christmas

Awhile back, I made a card and entered a challenge and used a new-to-me technique called "triple time stamping."  (Click HERE to see my card and HERE to see a tutorial) I love it and planned to do more, but....  Do you do that too?  Plan to use a technique or product and then forget or just don't have the time to "play"?   I did finally make the time to try this again and found a few challenges to inspire me, too.

"Miss you" card + my "resolution"

In a post that I read last week, the blogger said she was going to use scraps all month.  I could probably do that for a year (or 2 or 5!!) and am going to try to go through my scraps and coordinate them and begin to use some of them.  I also have a bunch of digital images printed and waiting to be used.   I am going to TRY to use up scraps plus the images already printed.  

That's how this card came to be.  I printed this image a few weeks ago.  Finally colored it last night and made the card this evening.   *I must confess that I did not use scraps!  Oops!!  Already broke my resolution!!  LOL

My image is A Scottish Castle from Delicious Doodles.   I LOVE Delicious Doodle scenes!!  I colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers.  The sentiment is TPC Studios cut with Spellbinders Labels Four.  My DP is 7 Gypsies "Venice."  The flowers are Flora Doodles.
