My niece asked me if I would make a set of cards for a Silent Auction that Science with a Mission is having. So I spent my afternoon yesterday creating these cards from the 6 x 6 Paper Pad Howdy Doody from Miss Caroline. I love the prints and how the colors all coordinate. I used two stamps from Lili of the Valley for the adorable little girls, and I also used Verve stamps for the Birthday Cakes and the various sentiments. The flower and ribbons are from my stash. What a fun afternoon I had creating!!
It's Friday!!! AND I can finally start my weekend off making a card - YAY!!! I stopped into a local Scrap booking store and found a few really cute Pure Innocence stamps from My Favorite Things - I love these stamps. Tonight's card features the stamp Happy Mail. I chose to do the Challenge over at The Color Throwdown and started looking for papers that would work. I'm using the Sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. 
What a fun Sketch this week over at Retro Sketches!! I put that Sketch together with one of my favorite Color Challenges CR84FN and made this very 3-D card!! The colors this Challenge are Medium Pink, Tan and Cream. I used papers from both Close to My Heart (retired paper pack Silhouette) and the pink is from Recollections Garden Florals Paper Pad. The tags are from my April Kit from Taylored Expressions. I stamped the cute Butterfly and Bird (A Garden - CtMH) in Black CtMH ink along with the sentiment which is from Verve. Some twine from The Twinery and Paper Flowers from my stash finish off the card.
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
My brother-in-law's birthday is coming up. He has one grandson, my little buddy Axel. It's only a matter of time until Axel falls in love with fishing just like his Grandpa. I love this little image. I got it over at Melonheadz Illustrations. The image is colored in with Copics. I used the Sketch over at Deconstructed Sketches. The CS and yellow DP is Close to My Heart. The rest of the paper is from Recollections Black and White Pad. The brads are Antique Copper from CtMH and the ribbon from my stash (where would I be without that drawer full of ribbon??)!
So this Saturday I made one card. I used a new stamp set I purchased at a great store I found on my way home from Rockport a few weekends ago Absolutely Everything (check out their website - lots of great stuff). The set is Pure Innocence - Birthday Princess. I am using the sketch from Sketch Saturday. I am also entering it into the Crazy 4 Challenges which is to use BUTTONS!!!
Next it was time to take on the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. I used on of the images from Sassy Cheryl's Digi Stamps and am entering this card in their Challenge as well. I love this little girl "Sassy Sally" with the Lady Bug - so cute!! I colored her in with Copic Markers and mounted her (and her little friend) with Pop Dots. I chose a purple polka dot CS I had along with a solid soft green CS. I also used a soft green polka dot ribbon. Yje sentiment - a simple Hi! is from Close to My Heart.
Today is a special little girl's birthday!! Lily is 3!! I will mail this card tomorrow and she will get it late... but it will arrive in time for her party on Saturday!!
Wanted to do a color challenge tonight and chose the first one I went to... The Play Date Cafe. The image I wanted to use was fairly large, so I needed a square sketch and went with my favorite Sweet Sketch Wednesday. The image is a Mo Manning. Mo's Digital Challenge this week is anything goes!! So this card will go in the three Challenges.
I had ordered some very precious stamps (unmounted rubber, a first for me) from Lili of the Valley and I couldn't wait to use them!! City Crafters has the perfect challenge for one of the stamps... Hat's Off to You! I chose to use one of this week's sketches from The Sweet Stop. They are celebrating their third birthday!! I decided to use Cathy's Sketch. I did a mirror image.
On my way home from work today I stopped in at the local Michael's Store to see if they had any Copic markers (they never seem to restock...). Of course, I had to walk through the Scrapbook section =) I found two single sheets that were perfect for this week's Color Challenge over at By LORi Design Challenge Blog!! Yay!! So once I got home after making dinner, actually picking up dinner, and taking care of our two dogs and my daughter's dog (3 Boxers - talk about high energy!!!) I finally sat down in my craft room. I chose two images from my LORi Boyd stash, seemed appropriate that one would be a dog after the evening I had, got out my Copics (can't wait to acquire more colors!!!) and the fun began. I used CtMH CS in Chocolate and Sweet Leaf. The papers are Recollections. The 3 tiny brads are CtMH and the tiny paper flowers are from my stash drawer.
