Stamp Off Build A Bike Color Challenge

Welcome blog hoppers.  This week, Buffy, Susan

and I are doing a wonderful challenge, 

thanks to Buffy.

This is a Tic Tac Toe color challenge.  I selected

the horizontal row in the middle; Pumpkin Pie,

Shaded Spruce and Daffodil Delight.

I hate to start on a negative note, but it has been a frustrating 

week.  We've had steady rain for a week now 
(ok, rain is better than snow, I will agree), and I

had a nasty bout of the stomach flu Monday night.  I think

that I got the flu from Buffy's granddaughter Amelia, even if

there is no evidence that germs can hop from blog to blog.

I needed something to pick me up, so immediately

grabbed my Build a Bike Framelits on page 216. 

I knew that I wanted to use the splotches from Beautiful

Blizzard on page 39 of the Holiday Mini, behind

the bike.  I added Shaded Spruce Wheels from the
Chase your Dreams Framelits (p 216) and star hubs
on the bike from the Starlight Thinlits on page 220.
Lastly, the sentiment comes from Varied Vases
on page 45.

Hopefully I haven't depressed readers with this post!
Please keep on hopping over to check out what
Susan and Buffy have done with this challenge!

paper, accessories, and dies, the only limit is your creativity!

Flourish Thinlits

This is a sympathy card that I sent to my aunt in Utah.

My uncle went out into his back yard, sat down on his

glider and passed away.   He obviously was looking at the

different nut trees that he had raised; especially pecans.

It was a good life and personally, that is how I'd like to go.

I realize that this is not a Halloween card, but my uncle 

and his family have

been on my mind, so here you are.

Trick or Tweet Elephant

As the year speeds by, we are almost to Halloween.

There were some cute Halloween offerings in the Holiday

catalog, but Trick or Tweet on page 50 was one of

my favorites.  Lots of great images to color with your

Stampin' Blends, aqua painter or blender pen.

I paired my Blends with some Vanilla card stock.

The bat images was created with the Spooky Bats Punch

on page 51.
