MFT Cool Day Colors

 

Hi friends! Just wanted to pop in and share my card for the current MFT color challenge. I've been playing around with my gel press a bit this week thanks to the Gelli Arts ABCs of gel printing. My background is one of my prints from earlier this week. :) 

I hope you are having a good weekend. I know it's a sad one for our country here in the US on the 20th anniversary of 9-11. <3 I just don't have the words, but I know none of us will ever forget where we were that day or all the lives lost. 

Gelli Leaves Challenges

 July 6! My card a day continues. I don't know if you follow Paper Playful, but they are a great source of finding fun challenges to play along with. I love to scan the lists and look for ideas to get started. Today I actually took a class from Michael's and Gelli Arts about using gel plates with nature. I grabbed a few leaves from my garden and some acrylic paint and here's one of my results. I loved the background so much that I wanted to leave my card very simple. 

My challenges for today are two that are new to me that I found on Paper Playful! Both are anything goes this time.  Get Creative Challenge has a fun option for their challenge, to show water. I didn't this time, but I love the option to help narrow down a project. My second challenge is Gem of a Craft Challenge. I love the images and coloring of the design team. I don't have the capability to print the cute digi images right now, but I am going to order some printer ink so I can get some Polkadoodles images. My cheap off-brand ink just doesn't work for stamping. 

Off to read for a bit now that I did my daily card. I also need to come back and clean my desk. lol It's a WRECK.

Snarky Cat Meets Gel Press

 Hi all! I figured I'd check in to see if we've all almost survived what feels like THE longest January ever!!  I've been having issues getting my pictures to upload to my blog, but finally downloaded Firefox and it seems to work. I love Chrome, but it doesn't love me back I guess. Anyway...  some of my stamping friends created a fun new challenge blog and I wanted to play along with them. The blog is called Beyond The Blue Challenges and you should totally check it out. The first challenge uses a gel press, which is one of the tools that terrifies me! I used my new snarky cats that I just adore. 

We are still hanging around the house and hoping for better days soon. Jason has had both rounds of his vaccine, but nothing for me yet. I think I'm going to be pretty low on the list. lol I sure have been missing going to the movies or out to dinner lately, but maybe I'll just REALLY appreciate them more when/if I do get to go again. 

I hope you are hanging in there and staying safe. 

Hugs.
