Go Roger

One more post to wish Roger good luck!  (That's Federer playing at the Australian Open)  I'm watching the match on tv and I can hardly watch so thus this post.  This is a poster over my printer in the therapy room!

 

Mojo Monday Sketch

I had so much fun with the Mojo Monday Sketch!

 

and here's some more because I just couldn't stop...

   

The little girl is Pure Innocence and the cupcake is a new stamp I found.....I so often want to make multiple cards instead of just one of a design so finally I did that here....Yea!  I hadn't done a circle card like this where I you do the front on a complete nestibilitie circle and then glue it to a smaller folded circle card.

Stuffs used:

Pure innocence digital image, chocolate textured card stock and chocolate brads, CTMH; round buttons and sweet wonderful you sentiment, Papertrey, Cuttlebug embossing folders, Nestibilities, Martha Stewart punches, Jolee's red jewels, and other ribbons and stuffs from my pile!  

 
 
  
 
 

Simon Says Challenge

I chose this card for the Simon Says Challenge which called for 'punches' because it show use of paper incorporated into image and it is also sweet and simple.  Other cards on this blog are more complex and so this is a bit different look.  I love making cards of all kinds.....

Stuffs used...

Pure Innocence, Copic Markers, Martha Stewart border punch and Close to My Heart brads.

 

Warm Wishes

Here is a Pure Innocence digital image and she is colored with Copic markers.  I used Nestibilities for matting and added a sentiment on my computer.  It is so hard to add sentiments to these downloaded images and I would love to know an easy way to do it. Stickles make it sparkle and the ric rac is velvety and fun!

This card is entered in Roses on Paper and Bells 'n Whistles combined challenge and the mission is "winter".

Stuffs: 

Pure Innocence, Nestibilities, Copics, Stickles, Papertrey craft cardstock and buttons!

My Road Warrior

It was a beautiful day so I talked Mike into going for a bike ride.  It was so fun riding then he biffed it. I made this picture small to spare viewers.
So we went on and bandaged him up and got him some liquid pain relief at Ninkasi tasting room.Then Elise and Erin met us for lunch, Erin went back to work and Elise carried on with me but without a bike.  We only made one wrong turn and here she is carrying the bike I was riding across the railroad tracks.  
I snapped this picture of the Shelton-McMurphy house for my sister Eileen and hubby Sean because they got married here.  We carried on and Mike and his bike ended up getting a cab home with Elise.  Always an adventure but it was a beautiful day!
 
  

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #52

I'm trying to add a post from my phone. Let's see if it works. It did work but I needed to enhance the photo before posting because the pic I took with my phone and it wasn't super great....but fun to post a from my iphone!  I love that puppy!

The girlfriends are Stamping Bella and they are embossed using onyx black Versafine and then colored with Copics. The sentiment is Studio g and is also embossed.  This fun paper is sassafras Vintage Yummy and has great colors and designs. The brown craft paper is that awesome stuff from Papertrey.  I used gems and Stickles to add some sparkle. 

Here's the link to The Sweetest Thing and the sketch, too.

 

I know I can.....

One of my goals for 2010 is to show the cards I am making.  I love using card challenges to make cards.  This card is for Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. I used a Pure Innocence digital stamp from Heather Ellis.  I love these cuties.  You can also get this image in a regular stamp from My Favorite Things. The sentiment and brown craft paper is from Papertrey.   Don't you just want to take this sweetie home and give her a hug! 

 
 Stuff I used:

Pure Innocence:  Heather Ellis

Kraft Paper, sentiment:  Papertrey Ink

Pink Papers:  g.c.d. studios

Nestibilities and punch 

SSSC27, A Spoonful of Sugar Challenge 61 & Papertake Weekly Challenge

I made this card for three challenges.  I used this wonderful sketch from The Sweetest Thing's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 27.  I used the colors pink and black for Papertake Weekly's Take Your Pick Colour Combi XXX.  And I made sure to use swirls for A Spoonful of Sugar's Challenge 61.  All of these challenges combined together and I had so much fun making this card.  

  

Click on the images to get a better view.  I used Catch a Falling Star from Sugar Nellie, swirl from Clear Stamps, and sentiment and paper from Close to my Heart. And I colored with my Copic markers.

Our New Baby

Here is my new baby with Erin.  We just can't decide on a name.  First, he was Mr. Darcy because we all love Mr. Darcy of Pride and Prejudice.  (Colin Firth, of course)

But now that seems such a mouthful for a kitty.  Too many opinions around here!

Here he is with Lauren.  Isn't he the cutest ever.  Elise has his brother, Rascal who just so happens to be adorable, too.

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #26

   

I love these kids quotation stamps from Inkadinkado.  I turned the sketch and used these kids from Close to My Heart instead of dots.  The paper is mostly Close to My Heart.  Here is the sketch link Sweet Sunday

Split Coast Sketch Challenge 236

  

I love the Happy Camper set.  The bottom of the trailer is paper pieced and the background is Cuttlebugged. Embellishments are Close to My Heart except for the ric rac.

Amy R's Friday Sketch-AMYRS71

   

Isn't Sugar Nellie's Daisy so precious!  She is colored with Copics and the 'make a wish' is a Papertrey stamp borrowed from my dear pal, Pam.  Be sure to click on the card for a close up! Here is a link to Prairie Paper and Ink.

Da Sketch by Jenabella

      

Bike-a-bella is one of my favorite bellas.  I used Heidi Grace and Close to My Heart papers.  Doesn't it make you just want to get out and ride!

Sugar Bowl Challenge #14

  

I used Sugar Nellie's Summer Ice Cream stamp and Close to My Heart papers for this card.  I am having so much fun coloring these Sugar Nellies with my Copics!  Be sure to click on the card to see the sparkle. Here is the link to  The Sugar Bowl.

Sugar Nellie and Sweet Stop Sketch-SSS12

        

I made six cards today for sketch challenges and it was so fun!  It only took about 100 hours.  This stamp is Summer Ice Cream by Sugar Nellie and the cute hat pin is Close to My Heart.   HELP-I cannot figure out how to post a comment on the following blog so I can enter the challenge.  The profile I am entering keeps getting kicked back.  Here is the Sweet Stop blog- Sweet Stop
