Three for Thursday

Hi my friends...long time no post. Things have been crazy with my various volunteer roles I have this year so little time for crafting. Next year, I will adopt a "just say no" attitude in order to get some ME time back into my life!

DH was away last two days so had a chance to escape in my craft room for a few hours.

First card is for the One Layer Simplicity Challenge this month which features "Whatever The Weather". I used a Memory Box cloud stencil and white embossing paste to create the textured clouds on the light blue card panel. Sentiment is from the PTI Up, Up, and Away set.





Second card uses the largest Simon Says Stamp die. I created a folded die cut balloon, heat embossed stars on the balloon, added a simple sentiment banner and a touch of twine around the balloon end.
Colors inspired by the Colour Me....Subtle! challenge this week.






Last card uses a PTI set I've been dying to use since the summer. I created a focal cluster (PTI Make It Monday challenge this week) by stamping a swoosh from PTI Brushed off along the bottom white panel to ground the sentiment and image from PTI Fashion Sense. Love this model and the way the dress stamp isn't quite perfectly lined up. Colors inspired by ColourQ challenge.






That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend!
