SoSS Wine challenge!

I just love the challenges at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! Here is one card I've made so far for this challenge-

This is made with a Unity stamp, clear gemstones, Memento ink, and paper from a 6 x 6 paper pack from Studio Calico "Darling Dear". The color reminds me of a pinot noir!

On the inside I used a Happy Birthday stamp. Really simple!

Thanks for visiting!

JAS Summer challenge

At Just A Scrappin' this week, the challenge is Summer, and my idea of summer is being in the pool! Here is my project-

I made this using the water aerobics figure from Fun in the Sun, cut at 3 1/2". All the cuts were out of scrap paper, even the grey pool edge and the water paper. The stamp is from Technique Tuesday, and the rhinestones are from Recollections.

I love her glittery suit and dumb bell, don't you?

JAS Father's Day

I'm sharing a Design Team Project I did with FCCB with JAS!

Here is my project-

The card was made with the Digiplayground SVG File-Oak Leaf Pop Up card, out of Coredinations Chocolate mint cardstock, lime & white twine from the Twinery, and Cards TV "Happy Days" stamp set. The tag was cut out of the same cardstock with Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. The Ornament box
is a really useful box! It has 3 different inserts for money, gift cards, or $1 lottery tickets! I chose the money insert-

Here is what it looks like with the cover over the box-

and what it looks like with the band around it.

I decorated the band with some left over stickers (stash) and cardstock from DCWV Pet Stack and American Crafts (Ivory). My father-in-laws little chihuahua was in the vet's office for about 4 days with pancreatic problems & pre-diabetes, so my husband and I are picking up the bill for his Father's Day Gift. That little dog means the world to Norm, so I can't think of a better gift.

Graduation card

Hello and thanks for visiting! This week at Just A Scrappin' the challenge is Graduations, and here is my project-

The cardstock base is DCVW Alphabet Glitter pack. I used Miss Kate's Cuttables (cut with my Cricut Expression & Scal2) Graduation0812 set to make the scroll, mortar board, and sentiment out of Wausau shimmer Silver & Gold, black & white cardstock. The shooting stars are from CCR Classroom June & July.

Thanks for looking!

1. Kitty Bee Designs-Sewing Kit, colored with Prismacolor pencils.
2. Paper is from Crate Paper-DIY Shop.
3. Sentiment is from Creative Vision. Rangers Antique Linen for distressing.

JAS Birthday Tags

At Just A Scrappin', the challenge was to make a birthday tag. Here is mine-

I got the tag itself in a goodie bag from Unity Stamps, which is also where the stamped image is from. The sentiment was colored with White Bistro Marker and colored pencil, and pink metal bling was added to the banner. The flower was from a blog hop prize so I have no idea who made it, and the ribbon is from my stash.

I do have a ton of June birthdays to plan for, so this will definitely get used!

Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Cake challenge

This week at Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers the challenge to make a cake card, so here is my take on what one is!

This was pretty fun! This is a Unity Stamp Itty Bitty set called "Damn you're old". The sentiment on the envelope was stamped with Versamark ink and I used white embossing powder. The tag was stamped with black Memento ink with clear embossing powder. Ribbon is from my stash. I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the cake. I thought it was funny to count the flames as I colored them, not so funny when I'm the same age as the number of candles!

Oh, am I glad to be back at the Sisterhood!

JAS Mother's Day

This week at Just A Scrappin' we were challenged to make a Mother's Day project, and here is my card-

The card is from Thinking of You Tri-Shutter card file from digiplayground.com, and I used black cardstock, pink DCWV shimmer paper, white rose paper, Spellbinders M-Bossabilities Rose folder, Cricut Mother's Day 2010 cartridge, and unknown white glossy patterned paper (rose front). I substituted the "Thinking of You" sentiment with the "Happy Mother's Day" cut-remember you don't have to use everything in a file. Instead of the rose on the front, I can put any Cricut image there also!

Thanks for joining me today!

JAS Mosaic

This week the challenge is Mosaic, and I can tell right now that this isn't my thing! Here is my project-

The stamp I used is a very old wood mounted stamp from PSX (1995!) That I colored with colored pencils then cut up into squares, reassembling the picture onto black cardstock. The "frame" is a medium teal embossed with wood grain, and mounted onto My Minds Eye damask paper.

What do you think?

April Spotlight at Kitty Bee Designs

Hello! Today is my day to be in the Designer Spotlight from Kitty Bee Designs, and I want to show you a card I made for a good friend of ours-

I hope you all have seen the Sprint commercial about Narwhals. Catchy little tune that sticks in your head for days! This card is based on that commercial.

Here is the ingredients-

1. Narwahl 2 image from Kitty Bee Designs. Colored with Prismacolor pencils.
2. Cardstock-light, medium, and medium dark blues (stash), white cardstock with computer generated sentiment.
3. Dies-Impression Obsession clouds, Cricut cartridge-Artbooking waves.

Did you know that Narwahls are called the unicorns of the ocean? Pretty fascinating!

Thanks for stopping by.

JAS and Stencils

This week at JAS the challenge is to use stencils, something I'm not really comfortable with! But here is a project!

My husband's birthday is this week, and this card is for him. He raced sprint cars for over 20 years, and has recently decided he wants to work on his collection of muscle cards, restoring them finally! So this is a tribute to his racing days, and for being a winner on and off the track.

I used a checkered stencil with Golden modeling paste and black paint for the main checks. I then sponged CTMH Goldrush and Rangers Distressed Denim on the background, and stamped checkered flags with black ink. The sprint car stamp I had make 15 years ago! I used some of the gold ink on the sprint car to have some color in the white areas, along with coloring the background of the sentiment banner (die by MFT). Some black stickles finished off the banner.

I wish I had some other stamps or embellishments on the background, but I think he'll like the card just the way it is.

Thanks for looking.
