Thank You

Hello,

I hope you all had a great weekend. I've been feeling pretty miserable for the last two days. I was in Chicago last week for work and came home with a nasty bug. I'm not sure if it's the flu virus or a cold virus because I have symptoms of both. Unfortunately, I have to get back on a plane tomorrow for another business trip.

Most of my weekend was spent reviewing 110 slides for a presentation that I'm giving on Wednesday. After having enough of it by around noon, I made a card. Coloring helped take my mind off my stuffed up head.

This card is a thank you card for a very talented young man. He is the son of my housemate's co-worker, and a senior in high school. Besides being an awesome baseball player, he is a potter and he made us two very exquisite pots. We wanted to make a special card to thank him.

No sketch challenge used for this card. Just a simple layout to showcase the image.
The image is a Kenny K digi printed on XPress-It Blending card stock and colored with Copics.

I hope, as a fellow craft artist, he enjoys it.

Supplies
Stamps: Kenny K digi and SU Sassy Salutations set
Paper: SU Bordering Blue and Night of Navy card stock, XPress-It Blending card stock and Americana by Pebbles patterned papers
Ink: Copics and SU Night of Navy
Other: Die-Namics stitched rectangles, Fishers corner rounder punch, Pebbles enamel dots, the Big Shot and dimensionals

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks for looking,
Colleen

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Hump Day all,

Yesterday was my nephew Ian's 15th birthday. He, like his auntie is a baseball fan. In fact, his birthday present from me is a week of baseball in southern California and Phoenix after school is out in June. It will be an awesome week!

In keeping with the baseball theme, here is the card that I made for him.

The layout comes from Jen's May SFYTT. The stamp is a Kenny K  digi stamp. The paper is from TE's May's KI kit. The image is colored with Copics.

Supplies
Stamps: Pitcher by Kenny K digi
Paper: from TE May KI kit, navy and green card stock and Pebbles Fresh Goods patterned papers
Ink: Copics and SU Night of Navy

Thanks for checking in,
Colleen
