Monochromatic Memories

City Crafters Challenge

for the week is Monochromatic... set by our lovely Hostess, Linda Robinson.

Just make a card or project

using a monochromatic color theme. My card entry is rather creamy...

I went for the Prima

Printery collection teamed with cream cardstock and a dab of black. (I just realized that in taking my photos on a black background, you can't see my black cardstock card base... I'm so sorry for that! Nevertheless, there is a card base there... just rather hidden.)

The cream cardstock

mat is embossed with Cuddlebug's Script Texture embossing folder, the flowers are from I Am Roses and the leaves were made with a Martha Stewart Rose Leaf punch. The banner strip is a scrap of canvas I had leftover from another project. The chipboard butterfly is from Prima. 

I followed this week's

 sketch from Mojo Monday, which I think is one of the best I've ever seen... fabulous!!!

I hope you'll all have 

a pleasant Thursday evening. It's been so beautiful here this week. The Penmaker and I just took a quick run to Starbucks to enjoy the weather. You know what's back, girls... Pumpkin Spice Latte!!! Isn't that just the best news of the day?

I'm linking my creamy card to:
Faded Charm - White Wednesday

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs!

Pretty Inside And Out

City Crafter Challenge #92

is to make your card pretty on the Inside and Out with lovely Kirsty as Hostess.

Here is my take ...

I used both the October

Afternoon 5 & Dime 8x8 Paper Pad and the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Breeze 6x6 Paper Pad. The cardstocks are White and Seafoam Canvas Texture Core'dinations.

The jewels are from the

Reel Me In Collection by TPC Studio.

Distress Ink is Antique Linen.

I started to finish all the

insides of my cards several months ago after watching Arlene at Butterfly Kisses Designs. When I'm ready to send a card, I just write the note on white paper and glue it onto the DP... so easy that way!

I'm also entering my card

at Mojo Monday #224... here is this week's sketch...

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!

Mojo Monday 222

A new year...

A new round of challenges at Mojo Monday! 

A new month...

And that's the time for the monthly contest at Mojo Monday!

Now remember that there 

is a fabulous prize of a Verve Stamps set of your choice to each winner... one per every 50 entries... how great is that?

Here is the sketch...

And here is my take...

I chose to use papers 

from the Midsummer Night's Dream Pixie Dust Paperie Kit from last July. What a wealth of gorgeous papers in that kit... mostly Pink Paislee and The Girls' Paperie. I love TGP Cottage Vine. I teamed it with white and a light pink cardstock along with some scraps of Kiwi paper in a pink gingham (does anyone know if they still make Kiwi?... wonderfully heavy paper... meant to be sewn).

The Distress Ink is Antique

Linen and the jewels are the Christmas Cheer Collection from TPC Studio. The two-tone rose, sprayed with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist, is from I Am Roses as are the mini leaves that were sprayed with Meadow Green. The dies used are Spellbinder's Large Standard Circles and Floral Doily Motifs... Tim Holtz Alterations Mini Tickets Set.

My sewing machine thought

it was too cold to work properly, so I was only able to stitch the main base mat. 

We now have a blanket of

snow covering our area with more on the way. Sure is pretty... as long as I can stay inside and look at it from my window. How is your weather? Any snow?

Thanks for the visit!

Hugs!
