Girl with Watering Can

Here's another card made with a silhouette stamp from Flourishes Sweet Days of Summer. I do like these silhouette stamps -- I added a bit of pink to the flowers on this one. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, Gracious Vases.

We enjoyed playing Mexican Train with friends last night. Out of 12 players, I had the 11th highest score. Now, in some games that would be a good thing, but in Mexican Train -- not so much!! Still, it was a fun evening and the food was extra good.

If you're snowed in, hoping you have electricity, and if not, soon. Take care all.

Aqua and Caramel Birthday

Here's another birthday card courtesy of the free digital images from Papertrey Ink; this one was designed by Heather Nichols. The card is free from lots of embellishments, but with all the patterns it is quite busy. I really like it though -- it will make a fine birthday card for one of our church members!

3 Candles

My card today was inspired by sketch # 72 from Freshly Made Sketches. The image is from Papertrey Ink, designed by Lizzie Jones; it is a freebie to celebrate their 6th anniversary. Check out the link; there's a page of wonderful images you can download and print.

Also, wanted to share a little "color" from the village of Ajijic here at Lakeside.....

Aren't the colors in those blankets gorgeous? And look at the size of that tree in the background!! That's me in the foreground; it was still a little chilly that day -- I had to have my jacket and long pants! Very nice, warm and sunny today, though -- I'm in my capris, short sleeve shirt, and sandals!

Adios,
Betty

"Paint" by Number

I made this card for Papertrey Ink's "Paint" by Number Challenge. Aren't the colors yummy? They give you the sketch and a color pallette that is based on the first letter of your name. The play on words is to announce that PTI will be releasing a set of acrylic paints in all of their colors. And they will be packaged in the cutest little paint cans you have ever seen -- I'm a sucker for all things miniature!! Go on over and help them celebrate!!
