This week has been a busy one for me. However, I have a card for the PPA82- CAS-,Elements Of Style-Scallops challenge to share with you. I also have a page that I made for my challenge DC29 at Soul Scrappers and 2 photos that were taken on Saturday. All are very simple but that's my style. :) I hope you have fun looking at what I have been up to this week.
Here is my card.
Here is what I used.
Stamp Sets: Bold Blossom and Teeny Tiny Wishes. Inks:Pear Pizzazz,and Early Espresso. Card-Stock:Whisper White,Pear Pizzazz and Peach Parfait. Dp is Sunny Garden. The punches that I used are the oval large and the Scallop oval extra-large. The scalloped rectangle was made using a scallop die. I also used Brights buttons, a Peach Parfait ribbon and bakers twine. With the exception of the scalloped rectangle and the bakers twine all products are fromStampin'UP! I loved using these bright and cheerful colors together.
The next challenge is the DC29-Digital challenge. I am the one hosting it and I would love it if you could join me. Although it is a digital challenge,traditional scrappers as well as hybrid scrappers are welcome to participate. For more information please visit Soul Scrappers and go to the challenge section.
Here is my page.
The design on this page was kept simple because I wanted the focus t be on my photo and my journaling.
Here is a simple word art that I made for the title of my page. If you would like to use it on a scrap page or on one of your photos please go here to download it.
In the past 3 days we have gotten 20 inches of snow. Poor Wayne had to snowblow our driveway and shovel off our steps 3 consecutive days. I hope that we will not be having any more snow this coming week. Like so many people I can hardly wait for spring. Hhopefully it will bring lots of sunshine an some drier days. Yesterday after Wayne cleared the driveway once again and the sun came out for a bit we decided to go out and do a little shopping. It felt so good to get out. But first Wayne took a photo of me standing by the snow and I took one of him. It was a bit cold but still so nice to get outdoors.
Here is the photo I took of Wayne.
It's nice that he can smile after working so hard. :)
Here I am :)I played with the colors in this photo because the colors were too dark. I used a couple of presets that are made for PSE. I like the look, it's differnt.
I hope you enjoyed your visit and that you found something that caught your eye and made you smile. I hope that all of you have a fantastic week. As always stay safe,stay warm and smile when ever you can. Smile. :) See you next week.
Mary, thanks so much for stopping to view my Blossom Petal card. I thought I'd return the favor and certainly love what I see. I really like your cards and style. I'm just getting into digital with MDS so hopefully I'll learn some things from you too! I'll be sure to visit again. Hugs.

Good photos of you & Wayne with the snow mountain! I showed them to my husband & he just shivered & said he was glad we lived here where it was 91 yesterday!!! Your bright, cheerful card shows how much you're ready for spring. Hope it comes soon so you can get outdoors again. Blessings on your day, Mary!

Such a cheerful card to chase away the gray days! Your scrapbook layout is, as always, fabulous. I love the clock and other graphics you used on the scrapbook page. Have a great week, Mary!
