Coincidence and Serendipity

Coincidences and Serendipitious events abound in my life.


Last night I started to send a note to the Teddy Bo blog to ask if they ever have Design Team calls.  I was almost done when the netbook I was working on kicked me out of the program and decided to do its own thing with Windows updates or whatever computers do when they screw around with you.  So I gave up and read a book.  I was quite amused this morning when I saw the Teddy Bo blog that posted a design team call.   Coincidences and serendipity...

The Teddy Bo and the Sugar Creek Hollow challenges are  shaped cards so how sweet is it that this week's mojo sketch is a circular card.  Coincidences and
serendipity...

Here's the deets:
stamp - Teddy Bo digi
ink - hp printer and Ranger "Tea Dye"
paper - Stampin' Up dp; MFT cs
miscellaneous - copics, sewing machine; nesties circle and lacey circle dies; baker's twine' charm

Here's the challenges:
Teddy Bo #11 - Shaped card
Crafty Ho - twine
Paper Sundaes - Vintage or Shabby Chic
Little Claire's - shaped cards
Sugar Creek Hollow - shaped cards
Mojo Monday #193 - sketch


oops, I just noticed one of the pearls fell off the mat and is stuck on the image!

Yesterday I made this Teddy Bo wedding/Anniversary card.  I wish you could see this IRL.  I can't get the colors correct on the computer and the stickles aren't showing very well either but you can get an idea of what the card looks like.
That's how I spent my Memorial Day holiday, I hope you had as much fun as I did.
Here's the deets:
stamp - Teddy Bo digi
ink - hp printer; Ranger "Tea Dye"
paper - Melissa Frances "5th Avenue" dp; unmarked cs base; recollection neutral cs for mats
miscellaneous - copics; Recollections pearl swirl; rose and butterfly buttons; charm; twine; Kaisercraft lace; White Blossom rhinestone heart, nesite's label 16; stickles
                                                                                  
Here's the challenges:
Shabby Tea Room  #54 - 2-4-6:  2 patterned papers, 4 buttons (the pink and white roses are buttons with the shanks cut off) and 6 layers
Paper Playtime #47 - May digi Monday with Wedding or Love theme
Crafty Cardmakers #47 -  Love the lasting kind
Totally Gorgjuss #82 - Strings the thing
