I had all these scraps of card stock, ribbon, and die cut flowers laying around on my craft table and decided it was time to get rid of them - so, made a couple of really quick card. I don't even like them - but DID get rid of some of the scraps.
I'm really thinking not only has my mojo taken a vacation but it's taken my entire brain with it!
This actually started out as a CASE of a card I saw on Pinterest....STILL hot sure where it went south! About the only thing that was CASEd were the flowers!
This is a monochromatic card that I thought I'd enter over at
Less is More (neutral colors). I did add a little green to that grass - but oh so wanted to put a big splash of yellow or red or something on it! LOL! I'll also enter it in the challenge at
Sweet Stamps (Monochromatic).
Hope you have a wonderful day.......and thanks for stopping by.......

Lynn this is really pretty! You are being too hard on yourself :p I think you hve done a great job live the colors an those flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with your leftovers! My fave has to be the water pump. I love the way you used just a hint of color on the grass! Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with either card, I like them both! I love the crispness of the white petals agains the brown and the ribbon treatment of the second card I really like! Great cards Lynn!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely are they... both so different but so likeable. Love the flowers on the first and the monochromes on the second. The metallic embelly looks awesome.

I just LOVE when my scraps come together to make gorgeous cards! Great work, Lynn! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteLynn, what in the world are you talking about? These are great! And way to go making such pretty cards with scraps! I really need to start using all these scraps that accumulate in my craft room. I don't think your mojo has gone anywhere at all! Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel good to get rid of scraps? Especially love the second card and the little tags by the ribbon. I love just the splash of green.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about those pesky scraps! You did a great job with yours in those beautiful blossoms!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Lynn! I don't like to pick favourites but I love, love, love the waterpump card. That splash of green grass is perfect and the ribbon, tags & brad are the best!
ReplyDeleteLynn, your use of leftovers is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou are too hard on yourself....I love both cards and imagine if I rec'd a card and opened it, if either of these were inside they would put a smile on my face. Love the flowers and the layout and texture on card one, love the image and tags on your Monochromatic card. Thanks also for joining in at the Sweet Stamps challenge : )
ReplyDeleteThey are both gorgeous Lynn, I like that water pump image

Aw, sweet Lynn, I think we are our hardest critics because I love them both!! They are each so unique and wonderful - the second one is a show stopper! I have a water can image from ODB ... I do believe you just inspired me to go find it :) Hugs!
ReplyDeleteA bit of green and no white space, thats 2 stars knocked off lol

Those beautiful daisies are so happy and eye catching, Lynn! What's not to like about that? I love the second card too. The framing for the pump is perfect and I love the ribbon and tiny tags.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that pump image! It's a wonderful card. I'm working on CAS today and having the same instinct to add "just a bit more" but am resisting mightily. :-D Doesn't it feel good when you use up those left overs? It always makes me feel so righteous. lol
ReplyDeleteI'll close my eyes to the green Lynn!
ReplyDeleteIt's a delightful card.
Thanks so much
