So I needed to make a Grad card for my girlfriend's daughter.I had this image and sentiment in my head for this card .I was glad to get it made.The image and sentiment is from Tickled Pink stamps.Such a perfect pair ! ! I used Sketch Saturday's sketch.I'm happy how it turned out.

Hope you liked..Have a great day !

Cupcake Birthday

Hi peeps.I have wanted to color this cutie for some time and finally got to.Now it's not that I could have a long time ago.It's just sooo many stamps and who do ya pick.I don't want to neglect these babies but I can only go so fast.LOL

So be patient with mama ,I will get to you....

So this cutie is from CC Designs,as is the bench.I used some new papers that I came across called First Edition.Very adorable papers.Some even have glitter on them.Yep glitter...you had me.The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Dad

Whew,lately I've been making cards for DT or something rather than just for fun.So I just did that today.No reason,well except I wanted to play with this image. I sure had fun coloring up this cutie.I have a thing for bears.They are just so cute.And these images are unlike any other bear I have seen.

Now I know in the past I've said how much I despise making man cards.But I'm pleased with how this one turned out. I finally got to cut my Spellbinder Heritage dies using the pocket watch.I also used buttons but they're inside the card.I forgot to take a pic.OOPS.

I stamped on the background of the image and the strip going  across the card.I used Tim Holtz stamps ,the corner and clock.And the "dad" is Maya Road chipboard with I inked and added crackle to.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges

-Sketch Saturday(sketch)

-Creative Inspirations(Father's Day card)

Fussy And Fancy Challenge(man card)

The Fuzzy Wuzzy Challenge(Recipe..my buttons are on the inside.oops)

A "Get Well Card", Birthday Card, or a funny card would all be perfect.Also, when you sign your name to your card, please include where you are from so Luke knows how far the card travelled just for him!!

Lacey has also started a fundraiser with digital images .....Our talented Dustin Pike has made some images to suit Luke..you can purchase them here..

Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit(HO HO HO)

Heeheee That's frog language for HoHoHo.I'm using a Dustin Pike image for my Xmas card here today.

I just LOVE his work!!His images are so much fun!Now I know you don't normally see a frog coming out of a PINK present.Wait you don't normally see frogs coming out of presents at all,unless you have a boy in the household maybe???Anyway I know it's not very boyish but then again I never really stick with normal.So I'm entering my card into Sketch Saturday as well as A Spoonful of Sugar.

Close up view of frog which I never intended to make ALL glossy (just his eyes) but when a GIANT blob comes out you must adjust!! 

Enjoy!!TTYL

Ok I'm repeating,hopefully ,what is not a pattern.I slinking in with this weeks Sketch Staurday's entry. This one was fun to work with,I think I may repeat this one.

Haha repeat....This reminds me of our cat Garth who had kittens .Yes you read right,Garth was supposed to be a boy,but one evening she had a surprise for us .In this batch were twin black FLUFFY kittens.My husband decided to name them Pete and Repeat. 

Sorry a little off the road there. Onto my card...

I used LOV's cute little baby penguins.This image is so simple to color,making some quick cards.The sentiment is from Hero Arts.I used MS border punch,using the snowflakes for my added embelly.As well  the GlitterRitzed Maya Road snowflake.

I decided to add some twinklets for the snow and icicles.Here's a close up view...

BITE ME

This week Sketch Saturday has a great sketch.It was a fun one to partcipate in.Won't ya try??

Here's the sketch and my take on it!

Isn't that so sweet.This little fella is from Stampendous as is the sentiment on the inside of the card.The sentiment "Bite Me" just cracks me up! It came from Kraftin' Kimmie. That fabo spider web and drippy goo punch is from MS.I cannot remember who the PP is by.

The little spider hanging and the one on the web is a brad from my stash.

Oh and so is the little bat brad.Nope I still cannot remember the PP.LOL.I was trying. ;)

Sitting pretty..

I just got these papers from Prima called Fairy Flora and couldn't wait to use them.I thought they suited this little girl,whom I've had for some time. She finally got to see ink! Isn't she so cute just sitting there so pretty. If I could only get my daughter to sit and stay clean it would be a miracle. I'm pretty sure she got that "spill everything on your nice clothes" syndrome from her mother.lol.

So I thought I would use the sketch from Sketch Saturday.I went pretty simple with it,but I like it I think.

Here's the sketch ...try it !!

Patterned Paper: Prima-Fairy Flora

Stamps: My Favorite Things,Amuse

Embellies: Prima butterfly and pearls

It's a easel card. Love these things. As you can tell my image is going the wrong way.But I hadn't realized that she was so tall.You may be seeing these papers that I got from Creative Accents again in the future.I'm just head over heels for the colors. Here's a close up...

Enjoy! TTYL

Serenity Sketch Saturday

It's Sketch Saturday time...this one was so fun and easy to play with.

Here's my take on the sketch...

I wanted to try a simple coloring image,I really only added the green and played on the black & white.I kinda like how it turned out.It was a little different in my head.Here's a close up...

I may have not used ribbon or flowers but couldn't help myself with the glitter,afterall I wanted that magical feel to her.

And here's the inside..

So that's about all....Enjoy!! TTYL
