Fusion: Triangles

This is me.....Every Single Night.........and it all started long ago with Dick, Jane,Spot and the Bobbsey Twins.....then Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden and The Boxcar Children showed up.  Ramona Quimby and her friends made me laugh and Laura Ingalls Wilder's adventures on the prairie were captivating.  And that was just the beginning.....reading never gets old.  Just last week I was Where the Crawdads Sing and this week I am part of The Alice Network.....can't wait to see where I go next week!

I did a total Fusion using both the photo and the sketch! I only turned the Turnabout Triangle stamp twice to get the wall pattern.  Hope you join us!

You're Clawsome....FMS394

Miss Emma's teachers this year have definitely been "clawsome!" So I was glad to contribute to their thank you gifts by stamping some adorable tags using the new set called Check You Out!

First these sweet striped bowls from thirty-one....

Then some candy......

Gather the tags.....

Wrap bowls in cellophane and attach tags.....

And make some more.....

I love Jen Timko's sweet sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  I turned the horizontal panel into a sand bar and it looks like all the critters are having a good time!

When I saw this photo at Fusion this week I wanted to start singing about going to San Francisco with flowers in my hair.  I was California Dreamin' for sure!  I may be ready to hop the Peace Train and let those iron wheels Turn Turn Turn while I sit back Feelin' Groovy.  Imagine the sights I could see!  With a bit of luck maybe I could spot Mr. Tambourine Man or Puff the Magic Dragon or Alice's Restaurant.  But I'm just a Daydream Believer......I'd probably miss the train and end up on The Horse With No Name and get no farther than Scarborough Fair.  But The Time Has Come Today to stop thinking about the music of my youth.......I miss it.....The Times They Are A-Changing.....

And what were you Groovin' to back in the day?

It's A Beautiful Morning - join us at Fusion!

I may have taken some liberty with Jacquie's fun sketch this week......I flipped it  and turned those side strips into pencils and I ended up with a fun card for an Art graduate! Only four more grad cards to go and I am done until next year!

Lickety Split - FMS391

Watching dogs run agility courses is a lot of fun!  Long ago I had a Scottie that I took to a weekly agility class.  The instructor wasn't sure about her at first since she had never had a Scottie in one of her classes but Pudge did well - relatively speaking.  She did master the course but at her own speed - slooooooow.  And then there was the matter of the jumping bars. We always ran last because the bars had to be put on the lowest rung for her. But she weaved and tunneled and teeter-tottered like a champ!  It was great fun!  The real stars of the class were the pups that look similar to the one on my card - those border collies flew around the track! 

Amy's wonderful sketch is perfect for creating a sweet little scene!  Hope you join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamp Review Crew: Daisy Delight

I love the set Daisy Delight and have made several cards using the big daisy and the large sentiment.  (I'll share a sample below.)  So I decided to challenge myself to use the images of this set that I have neglected.  Nothing fancy here today...just a bit of masking.  Sometimes I forget it is fun to just stamp....and it was so much fun (ha!) that I have several versions of this scene on my desk in all different color combos with all sorts of inky smudges on them. Keeping Whisper White white is a skill in itself!

If you just came from seeing Lou's wonderful creation then you are going in the right direction.

Now you can head onward to see Cindy's delightful work!

Cas(e) this Sketch is one of my favorite sketch challenges because their sketches can really make you think!  

This is the very first card I made with this set two years ago!
