The Fusion Challenge - Truck Bouquet

Happy Thursday and welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge - 'Truck Bouquet'. Oh, just look at that mass of beautiful blooms and the perfect CAS sketch! Inspiration abounds!
I've chosen to combine the sketch and photo, although, unfortunately, no lovely vintage truck here. Instead, I've substituted the cute little bike/basket/bouquet from Clearly Besotted and kept the color combination simple in shades of gray, pink and white.
The DT has some amazing inspiration! So...... be sure to HOP on over and join the party.
When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as you jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together! 

We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness from the DT and the always amazing gallery!

CAS(E) this Sketch #216

Welcome to CTS #216! It's a beautiful one from Nathalie, and the DT has some lovelies to inspire one and all. Just take a peek!
This is a very CAS, and quite true, translation of the sketch. Those petite bouquets (the tiny fleurs from Papertrey's 'Nesting' cover plate) and 'celebrate' die sentiment are a pop of color against the basic kraft!
Lots of showers in my neck of the woods today, which will hopefully bring abundant May flowers (most especially those peonies I planted last fall!).
We hope that you'll join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #216. Can't wait to see what you've created for the always amazing gallery!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - Part Deux

The 12 Kits of Occasions' 'Out of This World' themed kit, from our March hostess Jeanne, was just SO very full of lovely ingredients. And, since there were the beginnings of a number of creations, still in their formative stages, on my (always) messy crafty desk I've created a few more projects from this amazing kit! Hopefully, you'll agree with my 'better late than never' way of thinking!
Happy Monday and many thanks for bearing with me!

The 12 Kits of Occasions - March 2017

Welcome to The 12 Kits of Occasions! Our March 2017 "Out of This World" kit, courtesy of hostess extraordinaire Jeanne, is full of amazing patterned papers, and a plethora of stamped/die cut images from Altenew, MFT, Reverse Confetti and Paper Smooches. This "outer space" themed kit has SO many fantastic ingredients, all of which can be found HERE on the 12 Kits blog!
I've only touched the surface of this fabulous kit, and have much more up my sleeve!  Lots of color, fabulous embellishments, and many colored images! Clearly, I just did not know when to stop adding those beautiful hues and abundant embellishments. Just load 'em on!
Be sure to hop around to see ALL of the projects from the fabulous DT, and our guest designer, Richard Breaks!
Oh.... and for even more inspiration, please welcome our THREE kit winners from February: Janis Woolbright, Betty Keefe, and Katie Mowery! SO much to see, so please hop along for a bit of 'out of this world' inspiration.

Thanks for taking a peek! Wishing you a happy Fri-yay!!

The Fusion Challenge - 'Easter'

Happy Thursday and welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge - 'Easter'. Oh, so many pretty elements! Which to choose?

My love of that soft aqua in the photo inspiration was the starting point for this card. Then, a bit of kraft cs/ink and a little basket full of spring posies.... And, yay, a Mother's Day card ready for May 2017!
The DT has some amazing inspiration! So...... HOP on over and join the Spring party!

When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as you jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together! 

We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness from the DT and the always amazing gallery!

CAS(E) this Sketch #215

Welcome to CTS #215! Michele has created the most beautiful sketch.... crisp, clean and floral-y (my favorite!).  And just wait 'til you see all of the loveliness from the DT - sure to inspire some spring-induced creations!
Loving the texture of the embossing, which reminds me of a garden trellis, and the beautiful, dimensional Papertrey topiary. As always, CAS all the way!
Hope that you'll join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #215! The gallery will surely be chock FULL of inspiration! Can't wait to see what you've created!
P.S.- A warm welcome to GD extraordinaire, TaeEun!

CAS(E) this Sketch #214

Happy Thursday! Leigh has designed the most beautiful sketch for CTS #214. And just wait 'til you see all of the loveliness that the DT has created..... lots of pretty, color-full designs that will jump start your Spring designs!
Clearly, I had lots of flowers and some pretty pastels in mind with this sweet card. Aren't the Botanical Letters just so lovely in this pink/green/aqua combination? And I love how the beautiful linen texture of the pink/white pinstripe patterned paper and the Fresh Snow card stock softens the whole look.
We hope that you'll join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #214! Can't wait to see what you've envisioned/created!
P.S. - Please welcome GD, Andrea!
