Lazy Sunday….Bliss

Posted in Recent projects at 12:44 pm

Our youngest daughter (16 yrs) is visiting her sister in Eugene, OR. About 7 hours away - she’s been gone over a week and returns a couple of days before school. Now, not that she makes a big mess all the time, or that she needs clean clothes or food but it requires a fair amount of my time. I’ve been having some “me time” and will get even a little more. I had so much fun and laughed to myself - the whole time - making this sample. I don’t know why but it just “Quacked” me up…. it was for the Linnecard weekly challenge using one of Sharon’s sketches.

I just got this great paper from Linnecard it’s new from Autumn Leaves - I’d call it the Foliage series. Cardstock is from Stampin Up, Inks from Stewart Superior Palette & SU with blending pen. The stamps - from Technique Tuesday “Dog & Pony Show” - I think this set is just Stinkin CUTE! The little sentiment along the right side is from Stampin Up and squiggles were made using a Sakura Black Glaze pen.

This next samples using one of my favorite techniques right now - paper piecing. One know, where you stamp an image and then again on a patter paper, cut and trim close, and then glue pieces/sections over the original stamped image?? Well this next sample reminds me of a fellow blogger who love, love, loves bright colors - yes, Amy - funny I suppose, she was making a card for today which she said was not her usual color scheme - hers were brown, blacks and cream. One of the SCS celebration DTGD challenges. Well, I would say those are more of my colors…. anyway looks like we decided to challenge each other and didn’t even know it. Here’s my sample using more the BRIGHT colors

Paper Piecing was also the daily challenge I threw out there for Linnecard. This sample uses Daisy D pattern papers, Stewart Superior Palette “Burnt Umber” and Sassafralass “Oliver & Friends” stamp set with Verve Visual for the sentiment. The fibers are from Basic Grey “Obscure”.

Now back to more my colors - here’s my sample I created for the SCS Celebration challenge - Black, Brown, Creme

Well, I have most of my domestic duties done for the day. I’m going to get a snack and then do some more stamping - imagine that……. Lazy Sunday - True Bliss. Enjoy your day, lila
