Overnight my daughter came down with the flu, and, as with most families, I suspect, there was negotiation as to who was staying home today. My husband's day was full of meetings, so it was my turn. For the record, he will be home tomorrow as she still isn't on top of it, so a little rest won't hurt. So what is a girl to do but stamp. Here are the fruits of the day.
I love Karen's ability to put patterned paper together, she makes it look so easy. But for some it really isn't.

Sorry to hear your daughter isn't well...but woohoo for extra stamping time. Love all the cards you created today. You're so right about Karen mixing and matching papers so well - you've done a pretty fabulous job yourself on that first card - which is my favourite of this little line-up.

ReplyDeleteThe quilted paper is a lovely accent behind that dainty wreath. Perfect choices for the Pool and Saffron. So glad you could join us for our Dynamic Duo!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear your daughter is under the weather. Hope she mends quickly! Love your pretty card! That quilted paper is beautiful!! Love the bright yellow bow and the BG paper you chose to go along with your main image. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week! :)
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that your little girl is under the weather, Cassandra! Sure hope she feels better soon! You really had a great creative day off though! WOW! Love all of the pretty cards you created. Thanks so much for joining us at BOTH Dynamic Duos and the Paper Players this week! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a pretty set of cards, Cassandra! Your mum stamping looks like layers of lovely patterned paper! I have such a thing for yellow, and when it's paired with white and aqua? Oooo that card makes me melty! Those My Mind's Eye papers on the top are some of my fave right now, and look so beautiful with your rose image. FABULOUS job on all of the challenges!
ReplyDeleteWow, so nice to be home to stamp, hope your daughter is feeling better. All the cards are lovely, I especially love the 2nd card, it is stunning! Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos and the Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteI hope your gorgeous girl is feeling a bit better today. My girl has taken the day off sports practice today to cope with her cold - making it a much shorter day at school and a much happier girl!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all lovely! I especially love the middle one - I love that sketch and that colour combo together!
Hope your pumpkin feels better soon Cassandra. I am completely in love with your card! This quilted paper is amazing and your floral sentiment circle is the perfect compliment to it. PRETTY!!
ReplyDeleteHa...almost forgot ~ thanks for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you really got your craft on! So sorry your little girl is sick but you made the most of it didn't you?! These are all gorgeous but I really love the Paper Players card. The way you've stacked the designer paper is so clever and creative! Great job...so glad you joined us at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteYikes! I hope your daughter is better today! Her loss is our gain though, these are some wonderful cards. The patterned papers combined with that lovely (and expertly colored) rose is perfect! I think the second card is my favorite--LOVE those patterned papers (especially the quilt one!) combined with those colors and the stamps. And your third is a beautiful combination of handmade papers!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I love the background stamping you did! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this with us at WMSC! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your daughter is feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteI think you made great use of your time to craft :) Lovely cards!
Love a card with some bling...and in different colors, too! Fun pattern choices...either in paper or stamped images. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Paper Players! Hope your family is all feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYour entry for the Paper Players this week is gorgeous Cassandra! I love that ribbon and think I still have about 2 rolls hidden somewhere! Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteI don't ever recall being so productive when I was home with a sick child. I'm very impressed; I especially love the second one.
