birthday wishes

A quick card to share this morning that I created for this weeks challenge over at "less is more".

This week they want to see "coloured card blanks" no white, no natural, no kraft and no black card fronts. Well for me that is a challenge. The second part is we have to do a one layer card and I am so not good at that.

For my card I used my new stamp set that my son got me for Mothers Day along with some Tim Holtz stickers and my trusty water color paints that I use on my scrapbook layouts.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

A quick card before I head out to run some errands.

I skyped with my friend Michelle last night and we worked on Cards. I created this card using the MFT typewriter stamp and die set that she bought me from MFT. I added some LilyBee papers and some of my wrinkle ribbon from my store.

Okay, I am off to GoodWill today I cleaned out my closets, dresser and a few other places and have 9 bags of clothing to donate. 

Thanks for stopping by to look.

oh happy day

Have you heard the news? Lori Boyd is now doing challenges and today is our first one and it is a color challenge.

I didn't have any patterned paper that included all 4 colors in this challenge so I decided to pull out some of my cardstock and go from there. Along with the cardstock I used a large Sizzix Alpha embossing folder.

This cute image is "elliot the elephant" and he is available at the store here.

I hope you will take time to play along with us in our first color challenge.

Enjoy!

I have a fun card to share with you today using a new digital image (Maggie) created by Lori Boyd's 14 year old daughter Hannah. Her new line of digital images is called Bug and Roo Stamps and can be found here.

I hope you will stop over and look at all of Hannah's images as well as the inspiration behind one of her images and how she is donating all the money raised to a good cause.

The inspiration for my card comes from this sketch over at Eat Sleep Stamp. I used papers from October Afternoon "Modern Homemaker" and tiny type stickers from Cosmo Cricket.

Enjoy!

I have a quick card to share with you today for this weeks challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

For my card I used BasicGrey's newest papers and die-cuts called "marjolaine" along with some rolled roses, martha stewart leaf punch and Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers. Notice that crocheted lace border? That was a gift from a friend for my birthday and I knew as soon as I saw this sketch I had to use it.

I hope if you have time this week you will play along with us.

Enjoy!

I have a couple cards to share with you today and the first one is for this weeks challenge over at Eat Sleep Stamp and I have used digital Lollipop Presley byLORIdesigns on my card.

My card was inspired by this sketch and I used some BoBunny papers. Notice the cute watermark on my card. That was made by the amazingly talented Lori for all of us design team members.

Enjoy!

Stop back tomorrow for my card for the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

happy birthday ~ Maurice

I think I am in love with digital images and coloring them in. Maybe it is because I get a chance to practice coloring. When I saw this digital image called "Maurice ~ Ready for Business" by Polly Craft Designs I could not resist buying him.

I am not sure why I have a blue cast in my background so I apologize for the not so great photo. I colored Maurice in with my Copics added some Cosmo Cricket "tiny type" stickers and a few dew drops. The background is the new 5x7 Cuttlebug die.

My Card was inspired by this weeks sketch #76 over at Unscripted Sketches. Did you notice I did not use any patterned paper on this card? Just Neenah solar white linen, basis red, and PTI enchanted evening.

Enjoy!

While I was watching GLEE today I decided to whip up a little card for the newest challenge over at Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. It also gave me a chance to play with one of my digital images I had not played with before.

This is Ethan byLORIdesigns and he is available at The Lollipop Shop. Isn't he adorable with his cute skaterboy haircut and board?

This is the sketch that inspired my card.

We are enjoying beautiiful fall weather here in Minnesota and the trees are starting to turn beautiful shades of orange and gold. I will be spending tomorrow with Micah and am hoping to walk to the park and enjoy the nice weather.

Enjoy!
