Beautiful Beginnings

 





Today is NOT the 9th but it is now finally time for another The Three Musketeers post.  I am late this month as I had some issues with getting the image.  I am now ready to showcase the card we all created with the Beautiful Beginnings  image from Catherine Pooler that Kelly sent out for our June card, #106! That means we are in the middle of year number 7 with this fun challenge! All three of us sure have enjoyed the challenges every month and we hope that it continues for a long time!




I colored the sweet floral image with my Copic Sketch Markers.  For the front panel, I cut an oval from a piece of white with a Gina Marie Designs Oval Peekaboo die.  I then embossed the panel with an Altenew folder called Crystal Wall 3-D. I layered both panels on black and then a white card base. I added some Taylored Expressions Black Rhinestones Drip Drops around the colored image. I really liked the large sentiment that Kelly included that is from the same set and it did not work on my card.  So--I made a second card with the same style--same die set and same embossing folder along with the same bling!  I hope Jeanette and Kelly along with you enjoy my card!





Please check out the other Musketeer's cards.  Here is the link to Jeanette's blog along with Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards!  Please be sure to check back a week or so on their blogs as my card is so late.  I is up for our July challenge--please be sure to join us again.

Ready? Set. Go!


Today is the third Wednesday of the month and that means a Ready, Set, Go Challenge Card! The 3 Musketeers and the One Plus Twelve Ladies--Jeanette, Kelly and Me, are back with another challenge for March--our 22nd month!  We are now coming to the end year #2!



I provided the challenge for March: We post on March 20th and that is the first day of spring in 2019.  My challenge for you is to design a card or project that shows an obscure sign of spring—not the typical rain boots, birds, umbrellas, etc.  It can be something that you remember from being young or something from school that you recall. Or, do some research on the web to see how spring is celebrated in other countries or any uncommon sign of spring!  Ready, Set, GO!

I did the research option and looked to see if there was any interesting ways spring is celebrated in Germany.  I found a website that was titled--10 days Germans welcome spring.  Perfect!  One of the items noted is many German families head to theme parks in the spring to celebrate spring and the end of a long winter.  I thought I would go with that! 

I inked up a fun Stampin' Up set called Carousel Birthday.  I picked some fun spring colors to make a cute Ferris Wheel full of cupcakes!


Here is the inside of my card:


Please be sure to check out the other Ready, Set, Go cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blog.  I am sure you will not be disappointed and will see a couple of great cards! I hope Kelly and Jeanette like my card.  Jeanette is  up for the next theme, so be sure to check back to see what we are up to on the 3rd Wednesday in April!   I am sure she will come up with a fun challenge!

This is card kit #4, from Lori. It was a sweet kit with this cute image and die from MFT, along with some cute sentiments.  She also included some great patterned paper along with some wonderful embellishments! It was a fun card to make!  Be sure to check back to see the rest of my creations from this fun card kit swap!
