Just Magnolia

I thought I would participate in a brand new challenge called Just Magnolia and use the sketch they offered up. It is kind of open for interpretation I think but I had a good time with it. I stamped my image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink on Neenah paper and then colored her with my copics. The rest was really left up to the layering of the SU designer paper. I have so many of these DP packs and I need to start using them more often.

I apologize for making it so short today but you are probably thinking- not really, it is ok, the less I have to read the more blogs I an get through! mmmwwwwhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaa! But here is the sketch anyways, give it a try and join us!

Have a Blessed Day!

Two Scoops or more... for sure!

Oh another sketch challenge down for this week girls! I was so creating the other night. I wanted to use a couple stamps that I had gotten back in March and still not inked up and this is the first one. I used the sketch from the Friday Sketcher group to make the card but the image is a Whipper Snapper. I used the sketch but made it a longer card, to fit into a business size envelope because when I saw the sketch that was my first thought.

So I stamped the image and colored it in with my copics- that little face is so darned cute isn't it? I used SU DP for the base of the card along with a little bit of kraft and real red. The scallop edge is done with the SU punch. I did paper pierce the real red piece to give it a little pop- I find it amazing how different things look when you pierce them or emboss them! Don't you? The sentiment is actually from one of my litte CC designs sets.

Well come and join us over on Friday Sketch Challenge!

You got Mail!

Happy tuesday ladies! I hope this is a good week for you all- we are having rain here in Michigan after a beautiful weekend- I think that I was hoping for more.

Anyways, my project today was to participate in a challenge and it is called Cute Card Thursday . I have been trying to participate in more of these as they have fabulous sketches and color challenges and I do well to have direction! LOL.

So the card is stamped on Neenah paper which I have found is absolutely the best paper to use for my copic, ink is Momento tuxedo black and then of course I used my copics to color her in. The paper came in one of my small DCWV paper stacks and I really wanted to stick with brown, orange and pink which is not usually a combo that I like but I do like how she turned out. (Ok, I am still laughing at myself ............ ) I added a prima and a few dew drops.

Tilda box of cards

Happy Sunday!

I hope today bring warm days and springtime feelings for everyone. I know I am really prayin this weekend will be wonderful.

Today's project is kind of a botched project that actually turned out cute! I wanted to make one of those top note purses (my friend Sue made me one and it is beautiful!) but I didn't have the top note die so I substituted one of my curved rectangle nestie- which work! Then I went to do the top of the purse and realized I do not have a really large scallop circle die of any sort, what to do? So instead of a purse it turned into a little box- and I set my little Tilda with clovers which you can get over at KLSNS right now on the box. Now you might think that it is a St. Pat stamp but look how sweet she is with the pink and yellow flowers and I love her hat!

The next thing I did was think about papers that I had to coordinate with the paper on the front of this and I found this cute little birdie paper in my DCWV paperstack. I wanted something simple and versatile

for little gift tags/cards. So I made them all the same and popped 4 little note cards in the box. I thought it was a cute little gift for someone.

Hope Happens

Oh boy- I just realize it has been 3 days since I posted last! That is awful.......... I am sorry. It has been a little crazy and it jut slipped away. I need to get better about posting ahead of time and then real life would not intervene on my blogging! LOL!~ I want to say THANK You so much for all the wonderful comments on my flower pot card- it really was so nice to read them all!

Today's card was actually made for the Friday sketcher challenge and well, because I did not post for 3 days I did not get it done in time so I am going to post it for the Stamp Something challenge which is to use yellow, green and blue. I used a sweet little Tilda holding some wild flowers and colored her with copics. I really wanted this card to be light, soft so I picked up the colors from the paper, which by the way is a sheet of paper that I have had a long long time (and many of you probably have had it at one time too!). It is so pretty. Added a couple splashes of bling and done. I am thinking I will give it to my friend that I am an angel for.

A pocket of Flowers to you

I am sure you have all been seeing the flower pot pocket cards and I figured I would give them a try. I tell you they are so easy and what a perfect project for spring! So this card is based in SU cocoa and the flowers are cut with my CB mixed flower die using a variety of designer and solid papers. I added a few dew drops to the centers and a couple sprigs of green, punched with my MS branch punch.

I am going to post this card for the Cute Card Thursday as they wanted you to use pink and brown and then the Stamp something Challenge where they wanted you to use different shapes. I figured when I completed the project and then went through my challenge list it fit for both. I hope that is alright!

The inside of the card or shall I say the pocket is very simple. I actually only attached 3 of the flowers to the tag that is pulled out and left the other 3 on the pot- I just liked the way it looked when I was finished with it. The message is short, sweet and to the point- it is a God's Blessings from SU.
I hope you enjoy it and give em a try! I got my directions from Stephanie

Best is yet to be at Queen Kat

Today's card is one that I designed for Queen Kat Designs as the quest designer for April. The Swirly tree is stamped with wild wasabi and matted with the same. The dot background is stamped with Baha Breeze and matted on blue bayou. At first I did not like this card, but then it started to grow on me because it is bright and cheerful and as a matter of fact I sent it out to a dear friend for her birthday and I hope she likes it!

Sorry it is so short today but recovering from the weekend and feel a little behind in things. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and great week to look forward to!
