Sending You Love And Prayers

This is my second post today.

I've combined two challenges to make today's card... sketch #215 from Mojo Monday...

and this color scheme from 

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #108...

This is my take on the two...

The card base is ivory cardstock and

the mate base is Imaginisce's Happy Harvest "Carmel Apples" backside. My DP is from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Sunshine Collection - "Lovely" and "Memories". You'll also see a piece of the Tim Holtz Kraft-Core #6 that I embossed with Cuttlebug's Script Texture Folder and sanded. I sponged the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink from Tim's Fall Limited Edition DI Collection.

A Bo Bunny Timepiece Trinket,

I Am Roses Cherry Blossoms and a pine die cut of copper from Tim Holtz Alteration's Tattered Pincone Die Set form my corner floral grouping.

I took the color copper from

the PDCC108 color scheme literally and used my favorite copper sheeting, cutting it with Tim's Alteration's Mini Tickets Set. I topped it with my sentiment, again an old set, that I stamped with Black Archival Ink onto a piece of vellum. I think you can tell I'm loving... 1. Copper and 2. Alterations Dies... so much fun! Come on now and join me in entering these two great challenges!

Hey, hey... it's Friday!

Hope you all have a fabulous weekend... stay safe!

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #106

Yesterday we headed out for 

Columbus and the Ohio Pen Show. Let me tell you, the Penmaker was so excited he talked about pens the whole way there... two hours worth. But to let you know just what a wonderful guy he is, he took me to Archiver's first. 

(Please excuse the windblown hair.)

We hadn't been to this location 

before, and were really surprised at the size of this store. Ahhhh... a cardmaker's dream! I bought the new Tim Holtz Christmas Seasonal Series Distress Ink Set and his Core'dinations Kraft-Core Nostalgic Collection. Also a few 12 x 12 sheets of Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium Collection. Fun times!!!

This is my first time to enter a card

at The Play Date Cafe Challenge. The suggested colors for the week are 

Gray... Yellow... Pink...

Here is what I created...

Ohhhh, my gray looks more 

taupe here. I started out with a light shade of gray cardstock and it looked really washed out. So I switched to Authentique's "Euphoria" from their Blissful Collection. It matched my light gray to a T, so  I'm assuming that it is just a darker gray. These other papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 6 x 6 Paper Pad Madison Avenue. My cardstock is Ivory and the Distress Ink is Antique Linen.

These brads are from

My Minds Eye Madison Avenue and Portobello Road Collections.

I can't tell you how much

I love the I Am Roses flowers. No matter how many I buy, I never seem to have just exactly the color I need in the size I want to use. Good excuse to buy more, right? This yellow and white curly rose came from a mixed package... great for getting a variety of shades and sizes. My stick pin is Maya Road's Heart Trinket Pins.

The sentiment is an old set

from my stash and stamped with black Archival Ink on a stack of Spellbinder's Lacy Circles and Large Classic Circles popped up with 3-D foam adhesive squares.

The Penmaker is busy turning

a pen... I can hear his lathe running full speed. Someone offered to give him $160.00 for one of his finest (shown here) at the show, so he's very much motivated today!

This is an "Elegant" set - 

Titanium Gold and Rhodium. The wood is Buckeye Burl.
