CCC #97

Time for this week's CASology Cue Card:

We have a lovely bumble bee family living in our backyard. Harmless really but darling daughter is sure they are waiting to sting her.  A little new home card and some Copic colouring for this CAS card.    Leaving some room between the cluster of images and the sentiment gives lots of breathing room and does not clutter the design!

1.  One main image--bee's and hive cluster

2.  Lots of open space

3.  Limited layers & embellishments--none

4.  Quick & easy to recreate

CCC #70 and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

It's time for a new CASology Cue Card!
This week cue is:

As soon as I saw the cue word for this week I knew I had to ink up my Avery Elle Home Sweet Home stamps and I knew the teepee image what what I was going to use.   When you use a good size image on your CAS card doing some simple or outline background stamping helps to ground the image without overpowering it.

All my birds are back in the nest!

Happy Saturday and what a happy day it is for me!

As many of you know my husband's job has taken him first to the other side of Canada and then for the last four months to Wisconsin.  He came home almost every three week's, except when things at work were crazy.  The last time he was home was 7 weeks ago when we took our son up to university.  So for the last 7 weeks my daughter and I have looked after things here.  

Well today my husband is coming home and picking up my son from university on his way.  My husband is coming home to stay and will be working a 30 minute drive from home, hopefully for a long while. My son, Ben, has a fall reading week so he will be home for a week!

So I am a happy wife and mom today because all of my birds are going to be back in the nest!

I used my very neglected Lawn Fawn Home Sweet Home set to create a card for my family. Brooklyn and I at home waiting on the arrival of the boys! A little Glossy Accents on the heart to finish it off.

Cardstock:  Summer Sunrise, White (Papertrey Ink)

Patterned Paper: Into The Woods (Lawn Fawn)

Stamps: Home Sweet Home (Lawn Fawn)

Ink: Memnto Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko)

Dynamic Duos #64

It's Saturday and time for another colour duo from Dynamic Duos!

The colours are bold and sassy this week and this due is perfect for summertime.

For my card I used my new Home Sweet Home stamps and dies from Clearly Besotted. I love the fresh images and those trees have the best shape.  I used a combination of stamping, stamping on die cuts and die cutting cardstock to build a tiny scene.

Hope you can come and play with us this week at Dynamic Duos!
