Sending Many Thanks

Good morning! I hope your week is going well so far! Mine is dragging along (until I get off work, then it zips right by! *lol*) Oh well, only two more days till the weekend! :) Today we bring you a new KCRR challenge, and I also wanted to play along with Mojo Monday & Colour Q:

I just love that colour combination! Our random selections for KCRR this week were:

Paper Piercing

Love & Sympathy 

Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder

Now, I don't have the vintage wallpaper, but I used lacy brocade instead (I figured they were pretty close!). Here's how everything came together:

It turned out quite nicely, in my opinion! Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to pop over to Charissa's blog to see how she put together this week's elements! :)

Ink: Crumb Cake, Black Stazon
Paper: Whisper White, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Crumb Cake

Inspired By… Fantastic Olympic Games!

Hello again! I'm glad you came back to check our Friday's new Inspired By… challenge! I picked the photo this week:

As you can see, I found this lovely photo on Pinterest, the greatest time waster ever invented… We have been very VERY proud of our Olympic team up here in the great white north. Regardless of how our team finishes, we are all still thrilled to watch them. When they triumph, we triumph… And we all hope for a gold medal Sunday morning, in our favourite sport, HOCKEY! :) After the nail biter of a game today against our neighbours to the south, we feel pretty confident that we can come out on top! :) Now onto the card:

*lol* Patriotism or what!? I think I may give this card to the biggest Olympic fan I know, my mom! She has been 100% dedicated to watching the games, and since they are in Russia this year, that means a lot of early mornings (like 4am… or in some cases, 2am!). Well, I think if it weren't for the fans, there wouldn't be the games! I even added this row of Canadian images on the inside of the card:

Cute hey!? Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to pop over to Charissa's blog and see how this photo inspired her… and GO CANADA GO!! :)

Supplies used:

Stamps: Adventure Canada (CTMH)

Ink: Real Red

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red, Pacific Point, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Gumball Green
Tool: Autumn Accents Dies, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch

Another Late Inspired By...

Good day! I hope the your weekend has been great so far! Mine has been relaxing and productive! I am posting my (very late) Inspired By… card today. I also wanted to play along with Stampin' Royalty's and My Favorite Things challenges:

Charissa was in charge of choosing the picture for our Inspired By… challenge this week, a lovely tea cup:

Fits right in with the Stampin' Royalty picture! I successfully combined the two photos, and the awesome sketch, into this lovely little card:

The teacup I took from Charissa's photo and the doily came from Stampin' Royalty, and the colours, from both! :) I am really pleased with the results.

A New KCRR!

Hello there! This post is the last thing I am going to do before I hit the hay for the night… And lucky for us all, it's a new KCRR! :) I also wanted to play along with this week's Retro Sketch:

Our random selections for this week were:

Mocha Morning DSP

Needle Point Embossing Folder

Baked Brown Sugar

Combined with the sketch, I ended up with this:

Yup, I love this wedding card! The needle point is located just above the scallop border (kinda hard to see in the photo). The mocha morning paper looks great here! Which came as kind of a surprise to me as I am not a huge fan of this paper at all! So, I will chalk that up to a win for sure :)

Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to check back tomorrow for a new Inspired By… challenge! :) Make sure to pop over to Charissa's blog to see how she put together our random elements!
