Sew Many Cards Challenge #4

This week's challenge at Sew Many Cards is a sketch. Can you believe we are already on #4? Click here for all the details. I just love this horse so a western theme was just calling me! Come on over and join in the challenge - you'll have a chance to win 3 images! Be sure to take a look at the new Morty the Moose images - he is definitely going to be a favorite!

Pixie Cottage Design Team Call

Tonight I've been finishing up my "audition" projects for a new Design Team at Pixie Cottage stamps. Click here to read more about this new line. Be sure to check out her blog and you will see why I am so excited. This beautiful girl is Musing Melinda by Elizabeth Bell. It is a wonderful Whiff of Joy stamp and I love it! I used some Imaginisce paper from the Fairest of Them All collection. I also got to play with my new shimmerz paint (all over her wings - not so visible in the picture though). I added some pearls on her bracelet - looks so much better in real life!

This cute little guy is from CC Designs Cookie Crumbs line and it is from the Mushroom Friends set. The whole entire set is so cute!!!!! I will be posting more of these in the near future! I used some of my K & Co. paper on this one and again used my shimmerz on the flower center and the mushroom spots (so much better IRL). I pulled out the bling again on this one!

This sweet girl is also designed by Elisabeth Bell. It is a Sugar Nellie Stamp called Daisy. I just love how deep in thought she is - can't you just hear her saying "he loves me....he loves me not....". I pulled out some of my new Basic Grey Lemonade line for this one. Love those colors! Wish me luck!!!

Cricut 100 Cartridge Celebration

I'm so excited - I just read on the cricut chat message board that provocraft is celebrating their 100th cartridge by giving away 100 cartridges!!! Can you believe it? 20 each week for 5 weeks. Here is the link for the products http://www.cricut.com/shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?id=361&s=1&sc=2 but you need to go to the cricut chat message board to see how to enter!

Sewn Together Challenge #3

The challenge this week is to make a Christmas card with any of the Christmas images you choose. I love Eris so I chose this one of him hanging the star. The picture doesn't really show but I glittered up his star and lights with my glitter pens and they really do sparkle! Check out the other design team member's projects here. I'm sure you will enjoy them!

Practical Scrappers Punch Challenge

I made this card for the Practical Scrappers punch challenge. The challenge this week is to use simple punch shapes like you would in kindergarten. I used some of my Halloween scraps and one of my $1 studio g stamps with some glitter and some left over rafia. Check out the projects made by the other designers here - they are fabulous! Hope you enjoy!

Club Anya

Here are two Anya images I did for Club Anya's DT call and Practical Scrappers stamping week! I think Anya is just way too cute! I had so much fun working with these stamps. She is great to color with copics!

Happy Birthday Mom!

This is the card I made for my Mom's upcoming birthday (hope she doesn't see my blog between now and Friday)! I used Country Style by sugar nellie stamps. She is such a cutie but I'm not real pleased with my coloring. I "fiddled" too much around her chin and ended up getting some pink on her arms and chin I couldn't get out. I know now that next time I do a more detailed stamp like this that I need to emboss it first. Hope you enjoy!

Sewn Together Challenge #2

This my project for this week's Sewn Together Challenge. Angela challenged us to make a project with a Halloween image using only the colors: purple, yellow, neutral (no black but white is OK), red, and/or pink. You can use as many or as few of these colors as you want. This was actually quite fun - hard not to reach for the orange and black! The design team made some awesome projects this week. I am so honored to work with such talented ladies. Check them out here!

Mojo Monday #101

Here is my entry for the #101 Mojo Monday sketch. I love this sketch and just couldn't find time to play with it this week so finally today I got around to it. I have been wanting to play with my new slice black/white paper and this seemed the perfect fit. Hope you like it!

Logan is Two!!!

I apologize for the picture - I'm still working on my photography skills! Anyway, as I've said before my mission is to get these 35mm prints I have scrapped so I can play more with my digital stuff. I used my cricut on this one - love that cupcake!!! It is so fun to make. I've still got to add my journaling but I couldn't decide where or how I want to do it. I'm going to sleep on it. Hope you are having a great weekend!

Practical Scrappers Design Team - WOW!

I just got an email last night notifying me that I had been picked to be on the design team for this wonderful new challenge site - Practical Scrappers! This site challenges us each week to use some of those supplies that we all have laying around in our little nooks (come on - admit you know that is part of the fun of this hobby is the collecting of paper, tools and embellishments!). Being a military family and moving often makes me very conscious of all the "stuff" I have collected during the time we are stationed at any one place so.....I'm really excited about this site and can't wait to really be put my "goodies" to work! Check it out HERE!

Sewn Together Challenge #1

These cards are from my first project as a Sewn Together Design Team member and I had so much fun with these adorable images. Wait until you see the cute cards that the design team came up with. I'm going to love working with these ladies! I'm not a big Halloween fan but....I love all the colors of the Halloween papers and these cute critters are perfect for them! I hope you will head on over and join us for Angela's first challenge! She even has two freebies this week to get you started! You can win some free images - click here for more details.

Slidin'

I had so much fun playing with the new Scrapsketch challenge. Check it out here. (Please note the embedded link - yeah! Thanks Denise for the instructions as I probably would not have guessed it was those "goggles".) Don't you just love it when something turns out to be easier than you ever thought it could - especially when it has to do with technology! Anyway back to the sketch - I pulled out my new Basic Grey Lime Rickey papers and had a ball. The colors are fabulous! Yes, if you can read the fine print, these pictures are from the year 2000. Can you believe it? I still have loads of 35mm prints that need to be scrapped. I've made it my mission to finish those before I play with anymore of my digital ones. I'm pulling out a box and going through the year and scrapping away instead of just pulling out pictures that I just "feel like" scrapping. Making use of these sketches available on sites like Scrapsketch REALLY REALLY help get the process started.

SP Color Combo Challenge #11

Here is my entry for this week's color challenge over at http://spcolorcombos.blogspot.com (I've got to learn how to embed my links). Anywho.....I had fun playing with my new SU stamp set and top note die. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
