For The Boys

Good Morning!

The second challenge for the There She Goes Birthday Challenges is creating a Masculine Birthday card.  This is the one I made for my brother!

I started by using the Oh Crop set, one of my favourites!  The images were all coloured with my copics, and cut out with my nestabilities.

The paper is from Cosmo Cricket.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Birthday

Good Afternoon!

Did you know There She Goes Clear Stamps is celebrating 4 years in business?  Well, they are!  To celebrate they have been hosting challenges, with a chance at some fantastic prizes too!

Last week, each day was a different challenge, featuring a birthday theme.  It just happens I have a few cards that need to be made, so these challenges were the perfect starting point.

The first challenge is a Birthday Numbers Challenge.

My SIL is having a birthday soon (guess I can't hide her age!), and this is what I made for her!

I started with the Mojo Monday Sketch 257 as the layout for my card.  The numbers were stamped using the Numbered Days set, and the sentiment is from Sentimental Birthday.  The paper is from Echo Park Hello Summer.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I'll be busy getting all the cards finished for these challenges!

Happy Birthday

Good afternoon!

I can't believe it....tomorrow will be September.  The summer has just flown by!  It seems like my DD was just finishing school and we were looking forward to a summer of playing outside and at our trailer.  And now, its all over!

The summer has been absolutely crazy, and really the only stamping I have managed to get done is Jen's monthly Sketch For You To Try!  I don't want to miss out on my chance at winning the goodies at the end of the year!

Here is my August card!

I started by pulling my Hello Summer paper from Echo Park....funny, I'm using Hello Summer at the end!

All the stamps and dies are from Verve Stamps, August's sponsor!  Speaking of Verve, did you see their new release?  AMAZING!  I couldn't help adding some awesome goodies to my cart.....they are on their way to me!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Here's to hoping the return of the school year will bring on some more creativity and card making time!

Skunk You!

I just HAD to have the Scent-sational set that was just released by There She Goes.  It was way too cut to pass up on!  Plus, you can use it to make just about any card!

I had to make a thank you for some friends, and I thought this was a perfect time to get this set all inky!

I hadn't had a chance to use the SFYTT for July yet, so that was an easy pick for my sketch!

The skunk was stamped on X-Press it Blending Card, coloured with copics, then cut out.  It was mounted on a circle cut out with my nestabilities.

The paper is My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline All Dolled Up.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Enjoy your day!

Sneaking in....

with a last minute card for the June SFYTT!

I did already get one made, so this is just a bonus for me!

A few weeks ago (yes, I totally should have had this card posted sooner!), my DD had a birthday party for a friend who was turning 6.

Here is the card I made for her! (and DD approved, as there was sufficient glitter, pink and purple!)

I began with this adorable Puddle Jumper Ella Two, from By Lori Designs.  I printed her out onto X-Press It Blending card, then coloured her with my copics.  She was then cut out and popped up onto a circle of Echo Park Springtime paper.

The "6" and the sentiment are from the Numbered Days set from There She Goes Clear Stamps.  The 6 was coloured with copics, cut out, then given a good coat of Smooch Glitz.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Enjoy your weekend!

Think Pink!

This week, the Tiddly Inks Challenge is to Think Pink!  With a young DD in the house, pink is pretty easy to come by!

I started out by printing out Tiny Dancer onto X-Press It Blending card.  I then coloured her in with my copics and cut her out.  The papers are Echo Park Springtime.

The sketch is Jen's SFYTT for June.  I love this sketch.  It's so easy to keep is CAS, or totally bling it out!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet 16

Good Morning!

I can't get over how fast this summer seems to be going.  I really hope the rest slows down a bit...or it'll be gone before we know it.  We've been lucky with some great weather so far, so I haven't been inside much to get many cards made.  It's supposed to be a rainy one today though, so maybe I'll have a chance to make a card or two!

A good friend just recently celebrated her Sweet 16th Birthday.  This is the card I made for her.

It's funny how some cards can come together for you....  With this one, I had this adorable Wryn printed out and sitting on my desk.  This paper was also sitting out!  It seemed to go together perfectly!

This sketch is Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #160.  I used an oval panel instead of the rectangle.

Wryn was coloured with my copics, and then cut out using my nestabilities.  The '16' is from Numbered Days, by There She Goes.  It was stamped, coloured then cut out and popped up on the panel.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Enjoy!
