Color Hop-February 25

Good Morning, ladies!  Are you enjoying your colorhop so far?  Amanda www.ourcraftyplaydate.blogspot.com has another wonderful card for us, doesn't she?  Wow!  Our colors today are Very Vanilla, Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Crisp Canteloupe, and Blushing Bride...I wasn't sure what to do with these, but I had just tried the Bokeh technique, and I wanted to use it.  I love doing that, and it's so easy!  I mixed that with the Blended Bloom stamp, and put a crumb cake bow on it.  Hope you like it.  Give the bokeh a try, it's addicting.  Let's see Helen's entry for today, shall we?  Let's go...www.bluedahliadesigns.blogspot.com  Thanks for visiting, and come back again.  Carol Smith

Tweaked Cases

Happy Friday to you!  I thought I'd just post some cards that I loved and had to copy.  They are beautiful.  Just subtle changes. The first ones are made in such a way that you can open from the bottom or the side. Either way, they work.  Thanks for visiting.  carol Smith

Color Hop-February 4

Happy Wednesday to you! I'm second on this hop, straight from Robbie's blog www.inkedx2.blogspot.com   Love her card!  Our colors today are:Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, and Crumb Cake.  I love all the muted colors with just a pop of red  I wanted to do a barn, but didn't have one, so I found my apple bucket, and thought that was perfect...  Love how it turned out, and I put the glaze on the apples, makes 'em look more real.  Let's see how Joni used her colors...www.joniinthespotlightstamping.blogspot.com  We're missing a couple girls, but enjoy the hop, and come back soon.  Thanks for visiting.

It's Cased

I cased this card because I love it so much.  It's very lacy and fancy, and I could never think of making something like this, so I had to make a few copies.  Thanks to whoever created this.  Thanks for visiting, and come back to see our color hop.  Carol Smith

Playing around

Happy February and Groundhog day to you!  I'm sure he will see his shadow, because it's gloomy and rainy here.  (Freezing Rain, that is)  These are just some card I made from what was laying around on my worktable, except for the last ones.  They are my favorite.  Love the colors.  Thanks for visiting and be safe out there.  Carol Smith
