"Believe"

I really like a play on words when I make my cards. My grandson really enjoys them and thinks they are a great joke. This is another card I am taking on our coast trip. I actually made two cards so each grandson will get a 'treat' . I was so fortunate to win this stamp set from "KLM Designs" it is such a cute stamp set and I know that I will have lots of fun with it. I colored the image with 'Copics'. I cut the image out with my 'Createive Memories' circle cutter and mounted it with a 'Nestie'. The treat cup is from "Stamping Up". My dp is from DWAV fall collection. I also added red rhinestones for a little bling. The sentiment is from 'Heartfelt Creations'. They have some great sentiments and you can purchase them from 'Joan's Gardens'.

I also framed my sentiment with a 'Nestie'. I am entering this card at http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/2010/09/joans-gardens-14-weekly-challenge_09.html

I must say that I didn't add lace or pearls, but I did follow the red, green and brown theme. Unfortunately, my picture just doesn't pick up the colors as well as I would like. It is still a fun boy card.

'A Little Birdy Told Me"

I am sorry to say that I have not been as organized with my digi's as I should have been. I have this cute image and I can't tell you where I got it. If  anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit. My oldest grandson, who is five always asks me to make him a treat cup card. He loves the candy more than my cards! So, I have made these two cards for him and his little brother (3). I colored this digi with 'Copics'. My sentiments on both cards are hand lettered. The first card says "A little birdy told me...You're 'tweet" the second says "Lets scare...up some fun" I will add this to the cards for the coast trip. For those who were so kind to pray for Luke, he has a fractured skull, but he is doing quiet well. He is supposed to stay 'quiet' for the next two weeks. This is going to be hard as he is a typical active little five year old. Thank you for your prayers I do believe that is the reason he is recovering so quickly.

"For My Little Pumpkin" LOTV

I am looking forward to a week on the Oregon coast with my two grandsons, adult children and DH. I wanted to make a card for the two grands to open each day. This little charmer is perfect for them. (I make two cards alike, but with small differences so each boy has their own card!) This image is from "LOTV". I colored the image with "Copics". I cut the image out with my 'Creative Memories' circle cutter and framed it with 'Nestabilities'. My dp is 'DCWV' Fall Collection. I add some fall leaves and two pumpkin buttons. My sentiment is an old one that I no longer no the maker. I do love it for my grands especially this time of year. I am entering this card at http://liliofthevalleythursdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ the challenge this week is 'One for the Boys'.

"With Love"

I fell in love with 'Lil Angel' at "Stitchy Bear Stamps". They are running challenges galore and have some great digi's like this 'lil angel' in their store. I colored her with 'Copics' and added a little touch of blue 'Spica' pen to her necklace and gold to her halo. I also added glitter to her wings to make them sparkle. I cut her out with my 'Creative Memories' circle cutter and framed her with a Nestabilities die. I added a little Christmas brad and my sentiment is from an old boxed set. I am sorry there is no name on it. My dp is all scrap pieces. I added roses with a little ice 'Stickles'. The roses are from "Wild Orchids". A simple little Christmas card to send this year. I would also like to say that I am not as adept as the other Patti S at "Stampersize" (check out her fun blog) entering multi challenges with one card, but I have posted more cards this week! lol I am entering this card at a brand new challenge for me is is http://www.papercraftstar.blogspot.com/  The challenge is a picture inspiration, I chose the colors in the picture rather than a coffee or tea theme. Be sure and check out the challenges at http://stitchybearstamps.com/  Have a blessed week!

"Can I Go Too?"

When I saw this digi stamp at "Stitchy Bear Stamps" I knew I had to have her. She is so adorable with her wistful little look. I colored her with Copics and then cut her out and popped her with dimensionals. I added a little gold "Spica" pen to her buckles on her hat and belt. I punched a moon out with a SU circle punch, and inked the edges with SU Close to Cocoa. I hand stamped my sentiment and added some candy corn stickers. I had two little Halloween embellishments that I added with a scrap of ribbon to finish my card. I am entering this card at http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/2010/09/midnight-madness-sketch-challenge-70.html You can find this cute digi and many, many more  at http://stitchybearstamps.com/

"Santa I've Been Good!"

Have you ever had a mall Santa ask you if you have been good? I have and I always say yes I have...hmmm, I guess some might argue that point! lol. I am hoping that Kenny K comes out with some "Christmas" digis. (hint, hint). these are the perfect digis to practice your coloring with. I used scraps of paper on my card. I colored the image with Copics. I added some sparkle to the ice cream with Spica. I used my Cricut to cut out the swirls and then add chunky star glitter to them. I glued on half pearls and punched my sentiment out with Nestablilities. The sentiment is hand stamped with a small alpha stamp set that I have had for years. I am entering this card at  http://kennykkraftygirlzchallenges.blogspot.com/

Have you noticed that you have a few stamps that you just keep reaching for time after time? This LOTV stamp is one of them. I just have a few (now) but I love these stamps! On to my card, I colored my image with Copics and cut the image out with my Creative Memories circle cutter. I framed it with my Nestabilites. My dp is from Design Studio's Vintage Pack. Don't you just love the colors? I added roses from Wild Orchids. I added Stickles to the roses to make them glow like Christmas. I added ribbon that I found at Big Lots last year.

Mama said, "There would be days like this!"

I just love this little guy from Mo Manning! I think any mom can relate to days like this! Ha! I colored my digi image with Copics. I used a white gel pen for the dots on his socks. You just know a few more kicks and those socks are going t come off. I used my never ending scraps for the card. I framed the image with a dark brown paper that I embossed with my dotted swiss folder. I cut my rick rac with my Die-namics die and popped a little brown ribbon that I tied with my bow easy. a sewed a little brown heart button onto the bow. I used my Nestablilities to cut out the sentiment frame. The sentiment I hand stamped with a mini-alpha stamp set that I have had for years. The inside of the card says, "There would be days like this!  I am entering this card at http://mosdigitalchallenge.blogspot.com/  and http://charismacardz.blogspot.com/2010/09/challenge-35-inspired-by-song.html

"Christmas Wishes"

This card I used the "MoJo Monday" sketch for my design. I colored my Magnolia image with Copics. I used scrap pieces on this card. I used my Candy Cane Stripe embossing folder on my solid red pieces. I had a snowflake cut out that I had stolen pieces from for another project so I used the base that was left for the frame for my Maggie. I inked the edges with SU Sage Green. I added a Christmas Ribbon that I found last year in the $1.00 bin at Big Lots. Don't you love those after Christmas sales for things like this? I used my SU tag punches for my tag. My sentiment is from Lily of the Valley. I added a Christmas light eyelet and a little red bird glitter brad. I used my Spica pens to add a little bling to Maggies wings, fur, heart and button.

"City Sidewalks"

I think this lady has the right idea when it comes to Christmas Shopping. Slap on a pair of skates and slide through the stores and get it done! This is my new stamp from "LOTV". I love the sweet little stamps they have. I colored the image with "Copics" and framed it with my Nestabilities. I added a little bling with my Spica pens to the stars and holly on the gift bags. I also added glitter to the fur on the hat and coat. I added half pearls around the frame. I added a scrap of ribbon I had and two roses from "Wild Orchids".

"Your Never More Than"

I have stated before that I love my "Inky's" I am especially enamored with this little doll. She  reminds so much of my daughter as she started school and how cute she looked. She is now an adult and doesn't remember how hard it was for her Mom to let go. (Yes! I cried as she skipped off to her first day of school, leaving me in the dust! LOL! Anyway to my card. I love fall and it's rich warm colors and this little Inky just cried out for the fall colors. I colored my image with "Copics" and added a little bling to her earrings, headband and bracelet with my "Spica" pens. I used DCWV "Autumn Splendor" dp. I used a "SU" stamp for the bench she is sitting on and added a little hand drawn pillow. (I added the pillow because I had her floating above he bench.) I used "Nestabilities" to frame both the image and the sentiment. I added the little leaves to the sentiment from an old "SU" set. I used my yellow "Spica" pen to give the leaves a little bling also. I had some fall silk leaves that I glued on and add a felt sunflower I had in my stash to finish off my card. I am entering this card at http://inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com/  They are having a guest DT challenge if you want to check it out and enter.

"Take It Easy"

This is the perfect thing to be doing today. I can feel fall in the air and I fear our summer is soon going to be over. My image is  from "Lily of the Valley". Doesn't he look like he is enjoying a nice little nap?

I colored the image with "Copics" and cut it out with my Nestablilites. I let a small portion of the image run outside the frame. I love that look.  I add a sheer brown ribbon  and finished off my easel card with a little green frog button. Have a blessed weekend.

"Just For You"

I went a little crazy on the easel cards today. I wanted to practice making them and I just had to use my "LOTV" stamps. I love this little guy! As a kid, my brothers and I  played in ditches floating our handmade boats. Ah...the good ole days! On to my card! The image is from LOTV and I colored my image with "Copics". I cut the image out with my "Nesties" and then Cut a circle of cork and mounted the image on it. I found a twig in our yard and wrapped twine around it and glued it to the card. I punched the sentiment and the frame with "Nesties" . I used "My Minds Eye" dp and finished off the card with two brads from "Close to My Heart". Just a fun little card for my grandson.

"Gifts Galore"

I am having so much fun with my new "Lily of the Valley" stamps. This one reminds me of myself Christmas shopping. If you look closely you can see a very determined look on her face as she multi-tasks. I stamped my image with dark cocoa "Memento" Ink and colored the image with "Copics". I sponged around the image and added 'glittery' punched snowflakes. My dp is Jen Wilson "Signature Christmas". I must admit I have been hoarding this paper as it is so pretty. I used my "Nesties" to cut out my sentiment.  I added glitter to the edges of my sentiment, and on the shoppers hat and coat. I added plastic button snowflakes to finish off my card!

The Christmas Stocking

Just another Christmas card that I made for fun. The image is from Mo Manning and I colored it with Copics. I used scrap dp and added some little Christmas lights I had. I finished the card off with a little glitter to the stocking and a sheer bow.

"I Need A Time Out!"

I love this image from "Mo Manning", probably because it reminds me of my son when he was two. He didn't have many of these melt downs but when he did...oh, my! He is now a wonderful young man with two beautiful sons and I know they would never do this...lol! Anyway, to my card. I colored my digi image with Copics. I added a small baby button to the bibs for a little dimension. I  ruffled my ribbon and punched my corner frame with a SU punch and then added another baby button.  A fun little card to brighten someones day.  I am entering this card at http://copiccreations.wordpress.com/

"A Visit From Santa"

I don't know why Santa's suit looks so 'dayglow' in this photo. I can tell you the actual card does not look this bright. LOL! The image is from a retired SU set that I have had for several years. I used my Creative Memories circle cutter to cut out the image. I framed with Nestabilities . I cut the image so it ran outside the boarders. As you may have guessed by now I like that look! I used a SU punch for the frame corner and added a rhinestone and glitter to Santa's suit for a little bling. I am entering this card at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ I hope you enjoy today's postings and blessings to each of you.

"Christmas Songs"

I punched out glittery snowflakes from an old Christmas card and added a rhinestone to the center. I also added a little yellow Spica to the lamp light. I added a little polk a dot ribbon that I had in my stash to go with my scraps of dp.  Just a fun little card that went together quite easily.

On to my card...the image is from Mo Manning and I colored it with Copics. I cut the image out with my Creative Memories oval cutter and the frame. I added a little glitter to the snowball and Spica on the edges of the stripes on the hat and scarf. I cut out the bottom boarder with a SU punch and glued a ribbon on top of it.

I love to play in their challenges and the DT is great. My image is from Lilly of the Valley. He is a cute little guy. I colored him with Copics and cut the image out with my Creative Memories circle cutter. I let his feet extend beyond the circle to help him look as if he was walking out of the card.  I framed him with my Nestabilities and added lace to my red half circle. I added red rhinestones and glitter to his hat to add a little bling. I did move the placement of the sentiment at it fit my card better at the top rather than the bottom. This is a fun sketch and I will definitely use it again. You can enter this challenge at http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ in case you want to join in the fun!

"Christmas Wishes"

I decided to spend a 'cool' and cloudy afternoon making Christmas cards with my left over Christmas scrap pieces. The image on this card is an old, retired SU set. I have had this stamp set for years and have only used it a few times. I colored the image with Copics and cut the image out with my Creative Memories circle cutter.

"Purple Tilda"

Purple is not a color I use a lot of, I don't know why, I like it, but I didn't seem to have much of it on hand. But, I did manage to to find some prints that worked well together. I stamped my image from "Magnolia" and colored her with "Copics". I sponged with ink around the image and cut it out with "Nestabilities". I added little rhinestone flowers and a butterfly from our local dollar store. I am entering this card at http://totallytilda.blogspot.com/ and http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.com/

"The Strength I Need"

Sometimes Christmas is not a fun holiday for everyone. Having lost a family member during the holidays I understand this. I stamped my verse from "Our Daily Bread" and then dry embossed it with a "Cuttlebug" folder.  (I am sorry I can't remember which one.) I then distressed the edges with my SU distresser. I framed it with my "Nestabilities" and then added half pearls to the frame. Both of my red pieces of paper I embossed with my "Cuttlebug"  dotted swiss folder. The white background piece I embossed with my "Cuttlebug" snowflake folder. The image is from "Magnolia" and I colored it with "Copics" and added dimensionals to pop it out. I added a Christmas ribbon to the corner to finish off the card.

"You Rock"

I am sending this card to my daughter. Her name is Traci Chapman. She hated that there was a singer with her name and was often teased as a teenager about it. Her father and I had a hard time convincing her that she was NOT named after the rock singer! LOL! Anyway the image called Tracy Chapstamp is from "Kenny K".  I colored the image with "Copics". I cut the image out with my "Creative Memories" oval cutter, leaving the image extending out of the oval. I like the way this looks. I added a little bling to the image with my "Spica" pens. I used "Nestabliliteis to cut out the frame behind the oval. I used my "Cricut" to cut the swirls. I had a wedding decoration that I punched the musical notes out of. I hand stamp the "You Rock" with a small alpha stamp set. I sponged the edges and then rolled the ends in opposite directions and popped it with dimensions.

Christmas Sugar Nellie

This is one of those card that just didn't quiet turn out like I thought it would. I don't know what exactly doesn't work or what it needs. I used scrap pieces from my Christmas scrap box.  The image is from "Sugar Nellie" and I colored her with "Copics". I used my "Creative Memories" to cut the gingham circle out. I used my "Really Red" ink pad from SU to sponge the edges of my "Nestabilities". I I embossed my green strip of paper with my snowflake folder. I added gingham ribbon, a ribbon slider and a button to the slider. I also added mitten buttons.

"Merry Christmas to All"

Isn't this a cute little guy? The image is from "Sugar Nellie".  I colored the image with "Copics".  I used my colorless blender to add the polk a dots on the package. I cut the image with my "Creative Memories" circle cutter and framed it with Nestabilities. (Fits Perfectly!) I embossed my red strip with my snowflake folder and added a gingham ribbon and bow that I had in my stash. My final step was to add a little glitter to his pom-pom for some bling!

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High"

I had the best Saturday! Recently I won a gift certificate at "Our Daily Bread". I must admit I have been coveting their stamps for quiet some time. So I quickly placed my order and Saturday they came! I had to quickly ink them up so I could play! I love these stamps and they are the highest quality rubber one could ever expect. I love this verse and I love how it fits within my Nestabilities. I used dp from 'DCWV' the Linen Closet stack. It is a beautiful sampling of paper and the card just makes itself when I used it. I sponged the edges of my Nestability with "Close to Cocoa" from SU. I used my circle cutter from 'Creative memories for the inner circles. I add a ribbon I had in my stash and my card was complete.

"Merry Christmas"

I think Sugar-Nellies are so cute! This little Christmas girl just looks like she is waiting for Santa. I colored my image with Copics. I used a Martha Stewart Christmas boarder punch for the edges, added a Christmas ribbon down the center, and used SU oval punches for the sentiment. The sentiment is from SU. I added pearls that I colored with Copics. They really are more red than they look in the picture. This was a fun sketch and challenge at http://sugarbowlblog.blogspot.com/ and  http://christmasblogchallenge.blogspot.com/

"The Magic of Christmas Never Ends"

This card is for the "Bah-humbug Challenge". I love this image from Magnolia. He is the cutest little snowman. I colored the image with Copics and popped him with dimensionals.  I added glitter to his hat and star. I added a little brown ribbon to match the dp with the dots. and hung a Christmas tree charm from it. The sentiment is from  "Close to my heart". http://bah-humbug-christmas.blogspot.com/  and http://totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/

I hope each of you are working on your Christmas card stash! Blessings to each of you.

"There is no greater gift at Christmas"

This is one of my favorite sentiments at Christmas. It is from "Close To My Heart" and I use it so often. I made this card for the Christmas Blog Challenge...the challenge was..."all I want for Christmas". I felt this sentiment should be all I want. I also used the Friday Sketcher Challenge for my sketch. This is a fun little sketch and it forced me to use paper with different prints. I find I often want to me matchy-matchy. I like the look of various pattens working together but don't often feel I am good at putting those prints together. My image if from Magnolia and I popped her and the sled with dimensionals I also added glitter to her Santa hat. I used "Nestablilities to cut the frame behind her. and added two little Christmas buttons to complete my card. http://christmasblogchallenge.blogspot.com/ and http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ and http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/  and

"Thanks"

As I stated before, I love fall! I love the drop in temperatures, the colors and the beauty in the world all around me. So, I naturally love creating fall cards. This card is for a challenge at Joan's Gardens. I have really enjoyed playing the challenges there and  I have also shopped in her store. I highly recommend both to you. OWH Stars and Stamps. This is certainly a worthy cause for each of us to be involved in.  The image is from Stamping Up, I have had it for a couple of years and I love the versatility of the set. I cut it out and framed it with "Nestabilities" . I had several scrap pieces and used them. The green on the inside is the same green that is on the outside, but for some reason it looks different and it matches the green stripe, which looks blue! lol! I rounded the corners on each of the strips of paper. I added ribbon from SU and I pierced the corners of the card. I embossed each of strips and added two little rhinestones for a little bling! I hope this will be a cute way to say thanks to a new friend. http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/2010/08/joans-gardens-weekly-challenge-12.html and http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/

"All Star"

I don't know when I have struggled with a card like I did this one. Is it a loss of mo-jo? I think I might still be suffering from  painting for the last three days. Anyway this is my card using the Kenny Kiernam digi. I love coloring his images. I used my Creative Memories circle cutter and then hand cut where the image ran out of the circle. I used Nestabilities to cut out the frame. I added (gulp) blue stars that were in a confetti packet. I added some cute baseball ribbon that I have had for several years. The punch for the sentiment is from SU and I hand printed the sentiment. I am entering this card  in the challenge at http://kennykkraftygirlzchallenges.blogspot.com/

"Life is Worth The Living"

I love this Maggie she has the sweetest little face. I think she makes a very sweet Christmas Card. I made this card for a aqua and brown challenge, but I can't remember where it was. Ugh...I have been painting a patio for two days and I think I must be very tired. Back to my card, I colored the image with Copics. The DP is from "My Minds Eye" it is so pretty. I cut out my  image and added glitter to the wings. I used two boarder punches and added ribbon to both sided. I also added a aqua button to the brown ribbon. I used Nestablilities to cut out the sentiment and frame it. The sentiment is from "Close To My Heart". Blessings to each of you. I am entering this card at the following challenges:

"Wish You Were Here"

I just love this image from "Sugar Nellies". She reminds me of many fun times I had as a child fishing with my family. Yes, I was a tomboy and in some ways I still am! I colored my image with Copics (of course) and sponged in a golden yellow, I mounted the image on a scrap of  deep chocolate brown.  I used my SU punch for the golden yellow border and used scrap dp from my scrap box. I will never get all my scraps used up! I also added three pearls on the three strips of dp. I add a felt sunflower I found at Hobby Lobby. I am entering this card at http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ and http://www.letsinkitup.com/ Blessings to each of you!

"Sleigh Bell's Ring..."

This is my latest stamp from "Sugar Nellies". I thought this image fit perfectly the "Winter Wonderland Challenge. I colored my image with Copics. I sponged in a light blue (I have no idea what color it came in a card kit). I framed the image with Nestablilites and added green glitter with a Spica pen to the edge of the green frame. I added a white foam glitter button and tied it with a gold cord. I added the golden brown bow and a little jingle bell in the center of the bow. I felt it helped pull out the golden brown tones in the sleigh and in the snowflakes on my dp. I used Dienamics to cut my large scallop edge and used SU "Close to Cocoa" to sponge the edges. Lace and two irridescent snowflakes finished off this card. The inside sentiment is from "Close to My Heart" and the negative of the scallop finished off the inside.

Joans Gardens: Joan's Gardens #11 Challenge

Joan's Garden's Tag Challenge

This is my entry for Joan's Gardens challenge. It has been a challenge for me. I struggle with things outside my comfort zone, but I realize that it is important for me to try new things and think outside of the box. Instead of a tag, I made a book mark.

I used some chipboard and chipboard flowers to make the tag and flowers. I used dp from my scrap box and sponged the edges to make it look 'grungy'. I have decided that I need more practice at grunge. lol. Oh, well,  maybe practice will make perfect. I will keep working on this skill. I am entering this at http://joanscreations.blogspot.com/2010/08/joans-gardens-11-challenge.html they have some wonderful challenges and are great to order products from. I highly recommend this site for your shopping needs. Have a glorious Sunday, blessings to all.
