If Friends were Flowers….

Hi

I just love this sentiment.  I’m very blessed that I can say that I have so many wonderful friends deserving of this sentiment.  I could make a beautiful bouquet with the friends I have. 

It may be obvious and not need to be stated but this is another reject (I think that after this card, I’ll quit pointing it out).  I still like it, and like stated above, I have plenty of people to whom I could send it. 

(and many of you who stop in at my blog are amongst those, so thank you for being my friends. I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met through blogging).

Hugs and Blessings

Reject time

Hi Friends,

I thought I’d jump on the bandwagon and share some of my PC rejects this week on the blog. 

I won’t tell you that it doesn’t discourage me, it does. Sometimes I get more discouraged than others.  Whenever it gets to me too much, I go on a submitting hiatus.  I don’t mean to whine here, I am incredibly fortunate.  But if I start getting stressed and crafting isn’t fun, then that’s when adjustments are needed. 

ANYWAY, enough of that, onto my reject for the day.

The upside is that I will easily be able to send this card to someone.  Nowadays, when I do submit to pub calls I try to make it where I will be able to use the card if it’s not picked up. 

Have you all checked out the Lawnscaping challenge? It’s a super fun one, to use a stamp in an unconventional way. There are so many options!  I hope you decide to play along.

Thanks for stopping by!

Lawnscaping

Hi Friends,

I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  They certainly go by quickly, don’t they? 

Today, we have a new Lawnscaping challenge for you. And this one is definitely going to bring out your imaginative side!  It’s to use a set in an unconventional way!  Super fun, huh! 

Here’s what I came up with:

Heheheehe, I thought this was funny.  Hopefully, I won’t have any cause to give this to anyone.  (I’m guessing the most likely recipient would be Carlin since he has to live with me, and I really hope to not be crabby with him). 

I used Lawn Fawn’s Critters in the Sea, and Harold’s ABCs to come up with this card. 

Be sure to check out the Lawnscaping blog to see the other designers’ work.  This is an imaginative group of designers! 

I hope you have fun with this challenge. I have a bunch of other ideas floating around in my head for this challenge, so I hope to have some time to put them to paper.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and Blessings

Thinking of You

Hi Friends,

Happy Friday!  Any exciting plans for the weekend? I hope you enjoy it whatever you do!

Hi Again Friends,

Hope you are having a fabulous week!

I’m sharing a card today that I’ve shopped around for a couple different publication calls. It’s never gotten picked up, so I thought I’d go ahead and share on the blog. I have a wedding shower coming up, so I think it’ll be perfect for that!

Thanks for stopping in.

Forever Friends

Hi Friends,

Thought I’d share another reject today!  This style of card is a little out of my comfort zone. It’s essentially a one layer card which is a toughy for me.

I do like coloring on Kraft paper with the opaque markers, I think it’s such a cool effect. 

Thanks for checking in!

Hugs and Blessings
