Daughters Baby Shower Card

Here's a card I made for my daughters baby shower yesterday.  I used a digi from Nicecrane Design.  The set is called Amazing Cute Kiddies.  They are so adorable!!
Since all my craft stuff got packed up when mt daughter moved home, this was all that was left out.  All considering, I don't think it came out too bad.  Also some of the papers were from old cards that I never finished.  (She's moved out now-I've just yet to get all my stuff back out).  Been a while since I've made any cards....was fun

Simon Says ,,,,,,, Martine's Sketch :-)
This week DT girlie Martine has designed a gorgeous sketch for us to follow, a nice easy one ,,,, perfect !! :-)

Keeping with the Christmas theme that has been going around this month, that's what I decided to do for this challenge.  I used Bildmalarna's "Tessa-Snowman & Two Little Whispers" stamp with paper from MME.  For that litttle extra, I added stickles and Polymark paint.

Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC75)!Posted by: Betty Wright

July 12th, 2010

This week Betty Wright is our challenge host. I am challenging us to use felt! Felt is everywhere right now in the crafting world. It is easier to use than ever with all of the wonderful die cuts available. You can create flowers, borders, accents, and so much more! We would love to see what you create using felt!  I used a Buildmalarna stamp.  For the felt part, the felt is from Queen & Co. felt borders that I cut back.  I added stickles in "Diamond" & "Copper" to the insaide of the flowers and ribbon of the flowers.

Now on to this week’s challenge – which is a Recipe: 3 flowers, 2 papers and 1 ribbon. Easy hey?

I added some nature to my card this week.  The mushroom stamp is from my "Land of Make Believe" stamp set from Rubber Stampede and the log was freehanded.

Simon Says....Shiver Me Timbers, Thar Be a Pirate!
Ahoy Challengers!!!
We be setting sail on a new challenge this week - can ye guess what the theme be? Aye, me hearties, it is, PIRATES!!!! Arghhhhh!!!!  
Although all of the DT's cards were made with the Magnolia stamp, I didn't have that one, so I had to get creative with my card.  Pixie Dust Studio had this great digi download.  I also had some scrap "water" paper.  I stamped the rocks and grass to make it look a little more real.  The rock stamp is from "The Land of Make Believe" from Rubber Stampede.
Oh, btw, my pirate name is "Pirate Jane the Sword Test Dummy".  Nice huh?  You can get your own names here from Name Generator.  I kept trting to get a different one, but it wouldn't let me...haha

Pixie Dust Studio Challenge

This week's challenge is another Twilight Saga inspired one!

The movie is almost here! We couldn't help but continue on with the sparkly celebration :)

The Pixie's and I challenge you to use this Twilighty color combination:

Red White Black and/or Silver
I used all 4 colors and added stickles to her shoes, buckles on her shirt, and the silver part of the jacket.  I don't have silver markers, so I used a silver ink pad and q-tips.

Just Magnolia Challange

Our challenge this week is a sketch provided by Mina. You can rotate and or flip the sketch, as long as we can still see the basic sketch on your creation.  I like the image, but am not real crazy about the card, but here it is anyways.

Pixie Dust Studio Challenge

First, this week's challenge #26 is...

"What Twilight Means To YOU!"

"Twilight means so many things to so many people - love, romance, Edward, sparkle... The association of colors - I will always relate the color combo of Red, White, Black (Silver) to Twilight... to you it may be all, some or none of these things! What's yours?! and if you are not a Twilighter {gasp!}, where did you draw your inspiration from? The trailers? Books? Colors?
I have absolutely no idea about Twilight (the movie or books), so I took my inspiration from the colors of the sunset just before it goes dark, with the oranges and purples.
