Subtly Feminine.

Just when I thought our weather was about to take us into Spring, fierce winter decided to push in yet again. Oh, these temperatures are just not my thing!

Well, then let's play in the craft room! This past weekend it was carnaval in Brazil and it is a time when I miss my homeland. I saw a bit of the parades, but not much. Just enough to warm my heart. The floats and everything was beautiful and very creatively crafted. I picked at some subtle costume and liked the calmness of it in the midst of the excitement and decide that a card could come out of that. The sketch for this card was inspired by the Retro Sketch Challenge 153 and I was happy to create a card that is soft and gentle in a way. I am truly enjoying the new Perpetual Birthday calendar stamp set with its small images and used it in the background here. A bit of washi tape and some retired DSP and this card is ready to find it way to a lovely lady.
Thank you for visiting. I hope to see you again soon.

Memories....

As I prepare this post, I listen to a song that reminds me of a time long gone, that left in me moments to cherish forever.

Good times, good memories, good friends, is all what we all are left with. Those things are what gives meaning to life and it is wonderful to think of them, laugh, cry, and rejoice with each memory. Today's card is an entry for the Retroscketches challenge 150, and I decided for a Sympathy card.  I used some retired products to keep with the theme of something gone, but not forgotten. The stamp is from the Best of Flowers, the paper is Pocketfull of Posies. The little butterflies is from the new Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set, and the sentiment is from Love & Sympathy stamp set.
I hope your heart is full of sweet memories, wonderful friends, and great moments to cherish forever. Enjoy the nostalgic feeling they bring!

Do you smell it?

 

I do and it is sweet! It is called Holidays followed by Sale-A-Bration! Indeed, I am thinking of that yet again. Then, what happen is that I need to purge and use some papers that I have been hoarding.

And today I did just that. I pulled out my drawers of retired paper and have decided that I must move this paper. Considering that the ColourQ Challenge 267 used most retired colors, I figure that I would use retired materials too. I love the turned out and this card was really simple to put together. It has a calming simplicity to it.
