Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #32

Good Thursday morning to you, hope all is well with you!  It’s time for another Sassy Thursday.  This weeks challenge to you is to “get punchy”.  We want to see you use your punches, or in my case my nesties! 

I used the new Little Honey’s Belle, and colored her with copics.  I used the nesties to put a mat behind her.  I went around the edges of that and my flower with black glitter.  The flower is made with Papertrey Ink’s flower die set.  Now, let’s see how creative you can be with punches.  Head over to the blog and link up your creation for you chance to win.

For this weeks' challenge I used the image called "flowermice". Isn't it the sweetest! I colored with my copics, and cut around the image-there was too much white space for me. I used my nestabilites to cut the rectangle, and the ovals. CS is bazzill bling, and the green dp is DCWV, and the polka dot is MM. I cut the corners with my circle punch, and the ribbon is from Michael's. I added some stickles and voila' it's done! If you haven't been over to squigglefly lately, run, don't walk!

Cupcake Craft Challenge #45

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Today I have a card that I made for the Cupcake Craft Challenge. I also have been able to participate in these challenges in awhile. For this card I used a stamp set that my mom sent to me for my birthday. It's from Our Craft Lounge and it's called "Bubbles". I LOVE turtles, which I'm sure most of you know by now, so this set was perfect for me. I LOVE it! I finally got to use it, and this is what I came up with. I colored everything with my Koh-I-Noor pencils and blended it with the prisma blender pencil. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is from Miss Elizabeth, which you get at the dollar tree. I added some Diamond Glaze to look like bubbles(i think) with a glitter gel pen around them. The ribbon is from my stash, and i added the dew drops to the side. I also added a piece of the DP inside and stamped the saying"you're a star" on a star I cut out with my nesties. Hope you like it, thanks for looking. Don't forget about the Squigglefly blog hop on July 1st, and 2nd. Also, don't forget about the first "Work it Wednesday" from The Character Cafe, which is also on the 1st. They will be having a "freebie" for you also. Have a wonderful day!

House Mouse Challenge #43

Good morning, hope all is well with you. I've finally done another House Mouse Challenge. It seems like forever since I've done one. This week they had a sketch, and I love to do sketch challenges. And since I actually got to do this one, I went all out and made a card and a note book. WOO HOO!!! The card is made using the "Pop-ular Fun" stamp. I colored it with my prisma pencils and blender pencil. I cut the image out with my nesties, matted on green Bazill paper that I ran through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder. I sanded it a little bit to make it look distressed. The CS is Bazill, and the DP is DCWV. Both circles were cut out with my nesties and ran through the cuttlebug with the swiss dots embossing folder. The ribbon is from my stash, and I added some dew drops on the top and bottom of the circles. The note book uses the same DP, but the CS is from Michael's. The stamp for this one is "Balloon Journey". I also used my nesties to cut these out. I added my own polka dots to the circle and then went over them with stickles. I went around the green part with my glitter gel pen. The ribbon is again from my stash, and I also added dew drops to this one. Thanks for looking and don't forget about The Squigglefly blog hop starting July 1st, and then also the 2nd. And, don't forget about The Character Cafe's Work it Wednesday starting July 1st. Have a wonderful day!

Squigglefly Challenge #7

Good morning, hope all is well with you. This week on the squigglefly challenge blog, Kim has given us the challenge of doing the "out of the box" technique. If your saying "what the heck is that" as I was Here is the tutorial. I thought this was going to be so hard, but it was very easy. So for this card I used Squigglefly image: Brokenteddy. I used a sketch from the Sketch Saturday Blog. The blue CS is Bazill Bling, and the gingham dp is making memories, the stripe is DCWV. I cut the bear out with my nesties. I added button to the corners, and class a peel stickers to the top. I colored the image with my prisma color pencils. The sentiment is hand written and says "Get Well Soon". Hope you like it and thanks for looking. I'll be back tomorrow with The Character Cafe Feature Friday entry.

Squigglefly Challenge 6

Good morning, hope all is well with you. I've been having a heck of a time getting this to post! I'm ready to scream! Ok, enough of that. This week on the Squigglefly Challenge Blog we were asked to use Black, Pink, one color of our choice, 2 flowers, and 2 brads. Now for me this was the easiest challenge ever. This is my absolute favorite color combo, and these were the colors of my wedding. Including the Silver that I picked as my other color. The name of the image I used is: Madison and Popples. Isn't it too cute? I colored her with my Bic Mark It's and Copics. I used a glitter gel pen for the silver. I cut her out and matted her with nesties. All CS is DCWV, the dp is making memories, and the silver vellum-well, I have no idea. I used a corner punch to my dp into. The flowers are prima, and the glitter brads are bo bunny. The ribbon is from Joann's, and the bling is Kaiser Scrapbok. If you haven't visited Squigglefly, you really should. They just released a bunch of new images, besides all the other ones. They are a digital company, with great prices. Thanks for looking, and hope you like it.

A Birthday Card and an Announcement!

Good morning, hope all is well with you. Our second SS challenge was to make a birthday card for our SS. So, here is mine. I used an image that I got from my mom, so I'm not sure what it is exactly. I colored the image with copics and shimmerz. I cut it out with my nesties. I used a sketch from Our Creative Corner. I distressed the edges of the pink dp. I added some yellow dew drops, and some cute ribbon with a bow, and Voila. I hope she likes it, thanks for looking.
Oh, my announcement-I almost forgot. I was chosen to be on the squigglefly design team. This is my first design team and I'm so excited.

Card Pattern Sketch #14

Good evening, hope all is well with you. Tonight I have a card made with the Card Pattern Sketch. I just learned about this blog from Sue at Sue's Sentiments. They do a different sketch every week, if you haven't checked it out, you really should. So, I saw this sketch, and knew that for me it would be a little challenging. I'm not used to using small stamps or spaces. I was also inspired by the colors that I used from another blogging friend, but for the life of me, I can't remember who it was or where. I'm so sorry!!! But, when I saw her card, I fell in love with it. It was all browns with a touch of red. I used a little more red, but really like the results. The stamps are from Hanna Stamps. It's called Cafe' Hanna. I used DCWV cs in brown bling, the dp was in my stash, so I don't know who it's by. I used my scallop nesties for the squares, and a 1" punch for the small square. I used the same tan cs from the squares to cut the bottom strip and scalloped it with a corner rounder. The buttons are from the bag o buttons from Joann's. I used hemp twine to tie the centers. I inked the edges of the squares and scallop piece with cranberry color box ink. The images are stamped in Timber Brown Staz-On. I also distressed the edges with my scissors. Hope you like it, and thanks for looking.

Designing D.I.V.A.S SS challenge 1

Good afternoon, hope all is well with you. I've finally finished my secret sister challenge. I had it all in my head yesterday, but wasn't feeling good, and it kinda got put on the back burner. So now it's done. Our challenge was to use flowers as many flowers as we could. I thought it was going to be hard, but it was actually pretty easy. I used my new DCWV paper stack. It is Fun in the Sun Glitter Stack. I actually love all of the paper in here, it's gorgeous!!! The CS is also DCWV bling line. The stamp is a new set I got at Joann's the other day. It's called Wild Daisy Rd. by Heidi Grace. I embossed it with copper embossing powder. I just won a set of Creamy Mettalic Chalks by Pebbles Inc. I used one of those to go around the white on the flower. The got sent to me really quick, and I totally love them. They are great, they don't "fly" away like regular chalks. They are beautiful! The flowers are from different sets I've been buying. The center of the flowers is a flower jewel from Heidi Grace. I used my nesties to cut out the main panel. Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Mojo Monday Card

Good Saturday morning, hope all is well with you. I've finished card that I was dreaming about. I actually finished a couple of days ago, but have not had a chance to post until now. I used a sketch from the Mojo Monday Sketch Blog. This is the first time I've used one of their sketches and it was so much fun. The image is from Whiff Of Joy. I got it in a swap on SCS. So I'm sorry I don't know the name of it. I cut her out using my nesties that I got from 7kidscollegefund. If you haven't checked out her store, you really should. She has just about everything, and great prices too. I used Tangelo DCWV cardstock. The DP is My Mind's Eye. It is double sided and I used both sides. The trim I found in a thrift store in Lake Tahoe when I went to visit my mom. I used Frosted Lace Sticles around the corners. And the buttons are from those bags you can get at walmart or Joann's. I also used my small scallop nestie on the circle. I colored the image with my prisma pencils and used the colorless blender with them. Her bracelet and the 3 dots on the side of the card are Liquid pearls. This is my first time using those, and I love them. I used Orange Peel and Crystal sticles to accent in different places. Sorry the picture isn't the best. I usually take my pictures outside, but the weather here is horrible right now, so this will have to do. Hope you like it, thanks for looking. Have a wonderful day.

Digi Sentiment Card

Good evening, hope all is well with you. Ok, I kept dreaming about this card I was working on, all night. So when I got up this morning I did my normal-get the kids to school, coffee, email thing. And then decided to work on this card. Well, then I remembered about this Digisentiment card I was supposed to do. Digisentiment is a new company that put out a DT call. So I decided I was gonna try it out. Now, when I went to print the sentiment, I of course couldn't find it on my computer. I finally did, got it printed and started working on the card. Well I decided I should find out what requirements there were, and so on. I finally found the thread on SCS, and then found out that today was the last day for this call. So I started to panic, but I got it done. PHEW!!!! This is my first time trying out for a DT, I don't expect to get it at all, but it sure was fun. I've found that I really like using sentiments for the main image. All CS is DCWV bling line, except the white, that's GP. The vellum is from stuff I already had. The flowers are a combination of different ones that I've picked up this week. I used glitter brads in the middle of the flowers, and jewels on all four corners. I used my corner rounder to do the scallop on the edges. The pink glitter on the white layer is Art glitter, and the silver is MS. I used my new labels nesties from 7kidscollegefund. If you haven't checked out their store, you really should. She carries just about everything you could want. So, hope you enjoy this card, and I'm off to actually do the one I was dreaming about.
