So many of you leave encouraging remarks, and I want to thank you for that.   I must admit as I age (just turned 69) when I see all of your work I'm not only in awe but sometimes allow myself to give into self intimidation.    But thankfully it's about the enjoyment of cardmaking not the skill.  Although believe me when I visit your blogs I enjoy reveling in your skill, it is one my favorite things to do!   So keep putting it there.  Thank you for using your precious time to stop by and look today.  I will try to keep it simple, by clicking on ANY of the photos including my card, you will be taken to that challenge website or a business site.   I make no money off any of these link.   I just know how much I appreciate links that take me to see where I can get what you used or tell me about it somewhere in a product list.    One last thing about  Power Poppy, her images are so user friendly and the details don't go away with resizing.  Marciella has also been so nice and helpful when I have contacted her.  Here is a link to Pinterest where I have a Power Poppy Category to include all the stamps I've bought or gotten free with the DSP cards for each one  from her site.  If you want to check it out click the highlighted Pinterest..

The sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketch was the first challenge I chose for this card.  My first love in challenges will always be for a "sketch."   That probably comes from doing Radiology for forty years.   The anatomy of the part to be x-rayed  had to appear a certain consistent way on all x-rays for them to be diagnostic.   While I try to be creative no,  in my job as a Radiologic Technologist that would not have been encouraged or appreciated by the Radiologist for whom I worked. 

first time at this challenge...

Challenge theme "summer fun"

My vegetable garden and flower pots are fun for me each summer!

It's been hot here in SC...so even though I have to get up early to water them, it's still fun!

"All occasion week"

Anything summery goes, with Summery Mood board for inspiration

Use something Never Before Used

New sketch to me

I have never used Power Poppy's Spring Border digital stamp

I have never used the sentiment "Hello Friend" from Friendly Hello SU

the watercolor pencils and enamels I have used them before

Thanks and smiles to everyone who visited,    Kathy
