Archiscraps April challenge

The APRIL challenge at Archiscraps is to be inspired by Ancient Egypt. when I first saw this challenge I thought easy peasy LOL I was wrong I had no ideas it took me a while...I went through my crafty supplies and NOTHING jumped out at me...so I thought hieroglyphics would be cool...thus my card was born, honestly, I really love how it turned out...I just had to shut my brain off and let it happen!

 challenge at Archiscraps

 Think of all things about Egypt: Mummies, hieroglyphics, archaeologists, the Nile, the pyramids, the Sphinx, cats, scarab beetles and others.

You can do a layout, card, bookmark, tag, off the page item, so long as it is paper!
Don't forget to explain the connection.

 I hope you stop by the blog and check out the rest of the design team's inspiration and then play along!

Stay Safe and Healthy!

I love the look of the inlaid die technique that Anita used for this weeks Muse Challenge. I don't own many dies but I thought this leafy one would look good.

The new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge is up and I love the picture of the orchard...it reminds me of taking my children apple picking! So the first thing that comes to mind is apples but since I just made a bunch of ladybug cards I really wasn't in the mood for red apples....granny smith green flew through my mind but I decided against that to lol

Muse Challenge No126

I decided to play along with the Muse Challenge again this week.....I just loved how Tracey did the stenciling in the background....I couldn't find a stencil I wanted to use so I used some snow flake stamps that didn't have a whole lot of ink on them....I really like how this one turned out!

Here's this week's Muse: Tracey McNeely
isn't it the cutest thing!

Muse Challenge #125

I am playing along this week with Muse Card club... I loved Anita's card, the flower stamp is just so darn cute....its pretty obvious I took inspiration from her whole card....I truly didn't realize how close they were until I was making this post :( I'm suppose to take inspiration from the card not copy it!
But I really liked it...I just added more color and different flowers!

 Here's this week's Muse: Anita Bowde

 I swear I'll get the hang of this!

I am so upset with myself...I totally missed the voting :( I'll have to write myself a reminder LOL haha I have post its all over the place!
anyway here is my take on the new Muse 
 Ardyth is the new muse this week...

 I love the daisy like flowers in the muse card and of course the colors....so I tried to pull it all together with some water colors and a couple cut out from my Silhouette...

thanks for coming to take a peek.....

Artastic July

I just wanted to share a quick card I made for the ARTastic challenge CRITERIA is to use water (liquid) in some way on your project...
I decided to create my card background using watercolors...I really love the colors in the painting so I tried to recreate them...it really didn't have the effect I saw in my head but it worked for a bit of a gloomy background so all wasn't lost!
I took inspiration from the umbrellas and the colors of the  painting!
