Color Showdown

Hello! Today's card is one that I made for a challenge that I have never participated in but loved the color challenge. Plus it has some goodies available to the participants. Color Showdown #100 which you had to use rose, celery, red and baja. Well I love those colors so here is my take on the challenge.
Have a fabulous Day!

Sweet Bear

It is Saturday! I am so loving my weekend and hope you are too! Whatcha doing? I went to see Eclipse Friday evening ( it was better than the last 2 I think), then today I had a visit with my mother for a few hours! Then home to work on a few things that I wanted to get done this weekend. Isn't this the sweetest bear? I got this as a gift in a swap that I am in (thank you Kelly!). It is my very first LOTV stamp and I just love him. He reminds me of my son's very first teddy bear. Anyways, it has been a long time since I used my copics so I did use them to color this image. The sketch is the Mojo Monday sketch for this first week of July and as always- Julee has done another beauty! The DSP is Stampin Up as are all the cardstocks. Some of the new yummy colors (pear, tangerine).
As you can see with the 2nd photo, I used some glitter for the flowers- just to give the card a sparkle and make it pop- did the job too! If you have some time, stop over and join us on the Mojo challenge.

Have a Great Day!

Comfort

I know, another sympathy card but I figured while I was making 1 I may as well make a couple of them. So I pulled out the basic grey scraps left over from my other card and the book marks. This paper is growing on my, it is quite elegant and pretty. The sentiment is from the Paper Shop and it is such a beautiful set because it gives you more than just in memory of or with sympathy. Love it! Ok, off I go- busy week.

Mark That Page

Did you all see the beautiful bookmark tutorial on SCS this last week? I saw it and knew it was something that I had to give a try. And it was so easy! I am thinking that I am going to make them in a class upcoming.
But notice, the DSP and the stampin up set is the same that I used for the sympathy card that I posted the other day. And imagine, it is a fun and "happy" thing! Imagine that! If you've not checked them out- hop over and start making some fun gifts!

Difficult to say

Today's card is one that I always have a hard time making, a sympathy card. I guess I can make tons of birthday cards, thinking of you, etc.......... but I do not have any "stock" sympathy cards. You think that is for a reason? Okay, never mind......... onto the card. Now I am laughing because my mind went blank on the SU set that I used and the cardstock! Oh it is basic grey cardstock........... dang, maybe too much sun this weekend or something. Either way- I hope it gives you some inspiration to make a sympathy card.

Butterfly

This is another card I used with the same sketch that I had the other day. I thought it was fun and simple and figured it would make a quick card. I also love the sentiment that I got from the Verve set....... I just wish I had NOT stamped the black butterlfy and instead replaced it with a punch. I know it is short today but I am trying to keep up and so today is just short. But thanks again!
