Monochrome Greys & Pop of Color

Grey is my new favorite color.

 

When I say new, I mean in the past few years.

 

Just when I think I've moved on...I fall for it every time.

 Make It Monday #294:Monochrome Color Pop

hosted by Stephanie

inspired me to bring out all my gray and black inks and play a little.

I layered a few of those sprigs and popped the sentiment with Ruby embossing powder.

LOVE the rustic look.

 

 I can see me assembling a few more with this technique.

Thanks for stopping by~

 

You're Llama Fun

I. LOVE. PUNS.

Pun sentiments crack my family up.

We're easy to please. :)

When I was looking for our house + land years ago...I was AMAZED at how many people had land for sale with llamas included!

PETS~PATTERNED PAPER

If I weren't allergic, I'd probably have given it serious consideration.

How cute would they be as pets?!!  ;)


Except for the spitting.


I forgot that was a thing until I read one of the sentiments in this set.

bleh.

Never mind, I'm good.

 

Angled Lines & a Pineapple

I am an angled person people.

 You can tell by my designs.

 You can tell by my parking (ask my husband who has to slide his truck next to my "creative" backing up in the carport) :) .

You can tell by my "shark bite" shirts (hey, they are in now, thank God).

It's just how I do.

I have no idea why this is, but I'm grateful I can express myself through cards.

Check out the fun challenges~

Cup of Chocolate....errrr...Kindness

I can't eat chocolate like I did back in the day.

I'm so sad it's my frenemy.

Since I can't eat it, I see it everywhere.

Check out the huge chocolate bar with caramel and white chocolate touches in the following challenge...

Do you see it???

Cuz I do!

However, I don't have a chocolate set (I'll get right on it), but a frothy beverage is the next best thing. ;)

Happy Retirement Oldies and Newsies

You never know when my husband might need one of these cards to give a co-worker~

(stamps: Concord & 9th Triangle Turnabout,The Craft's Meow Welcome to the Office  dies: Avery Elle Dotted Ellements/Double Pierced Rectangles, My Favorite Things Horizontal Stitched Stripes)

I'm thankful for this challenge which has me sifting through my precious oldies~

I paired my brand new Concord & 9th Triangle Turnabout with a fun office set from The (now closed) Craft's Meow store.

It took me a few tries to get the hang of the turning around part 
(I lack a Misti).

However, once I read the directions of drawing an "x" in the center of the backside, I was able to align it.

 The office set is invaluable to my collection of images, so it was nice to give it some love too.

 Sounds like a storm is coming so I better get going in case the power flickers out.

Thanks for stopping in!
