Please welcome Francie Gumprecht(Francie G) as our guest challenge host! Welcome Francie and thanks so much for hosting with us! Francie is challenging us to extend our creations outside the frame. Whether your want to make a dimensional piece or use subtle cut lines, the look is to go beyond the frame you choose for your card. We cannot wait to see what you create!!! Here is the Clean & Simple card I made for this challenge. I used my nesties to make the frame. I cut and popped up the peaches.

I used the following stamp sets Cherry & Peaches, Basketweave, Life,Love and Lemons.The following Copic Collections were used

FLLC Sketch Time With Cindy!!

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesay Challenge(FTTC32)! This week Cindy Haffner is our challenge host. She is challenging us to a sketch she has designed. As far as sketches go, there is not much of an explanation necessary. You can turn it and modify the shapes to fit your size card, but in the end, it should still look like the sketch. Good Luck!!! We cannot wait to see what you create! I LOVE this sketch Cindy! Here's the sketch followed by my card:) I used the Cherries and Peaches set. I taped off the words so I could stamp only the one I wanted to use. Here are the Copics I used. Check out the cards made by the blog team this week! Kim has taken this week off:)

KSS Crew Challenge!

Hi there! I Hope everyone is having a fun,safe Labor Day weekend!! This is our anniversary weekend and being empty nester's has been really fun! With the KSS road trip just around the corner we have been trying to get my stamp area under some type of control LOL!! I'm wore out!

Today we have a fun crew challenge. We are to make school themed cards or projects. Makiko is our hostess this week.

I loaned my School Days set to a dear friend who lives in Florida. I had to really dig deep to make a card using KSS stamps for a school themed card. No laughing please! :) Here is what I came up with.

So I drew and cut the apple from scraps of cardstock. I used some ink on the edges. I attempted to draw 4 little seeds:) The stamps I used are 1/2 Pint Playful Alphabet,3 Step Graduation That's it from me today. Thanks for stopping by! See what awesome school items the KSS Crew made today!!
