Gentle Thoughts - SC337

Well, I had a fright tonight!  I clicked on the link to my blog so I could post this card tonight, and I got a notice that my blog had been removed!!!!!!!  Yikes!   Luckily, I was able to find the right place to go and do the right things to get it back.  I think that someone tried to spam me the other day, but Google caught it before it actually made it to my blog.  The message I got tonight was that they detected some unusual activity on my blog, so I'm thinking that maybe that was the reason.

Anyway, I'm just glad I'm back in business.  Don't know what I would do if I lost everything I've already posted here over the last year.

This card that I'm sharing with you tonight is another card from my SCS Monthly Challenge Club.  This kit was sent to me by Suzy back in May!  Yep, finally getting around to making something with it.  Mostly, I usually really like the cards that I make.  Once in awhile there is one that I'm not so crazy about for one reason or another, but I must say that when I got finished with this card, I really liked it!  I like all the ingredients that Suzy sent us and when I finally picked a layout for it, the card just all came together so easily.  That was one of the requirements.  We were supposed to pick a sketch from the SCS Sketch Challenges.

This is the card that I came up with.

All the supplies were in the kit except for the SU Going Gray c/s and the Recollections pearls.   The image and sentiment are from a retired SU stamp set - Garden Collage.  When I saw this paper, I just knew I wanted to use them both together and I thought the ribbon would bring it all together.

I used my Copic markers to color the image:  G21, G24, Y11, Y13, Y19, Y38, and YR24.  I also used C0 to light go over the background.

I'm submitting this card for the following challenges:

The House That Stamps Built - Flowers
Scrapalicious - Anything Goes
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Sympathy
Everybody-Art- Challenge - Anything Goes
LEJ Designs Challenge - Anything Goes
Paper and Such - Wings and Things
Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes


Thanks again for stopping by my blog and leaving your comment.  Hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to visit blogs of those who come by and leave comments here.  Working full time sure does interfere with my personal life.  I'd much rather be home stamping!
