Finally!

I was FINALLY able to get to a comp and printer that worked together today and finish printing out my Doodle Street images. YAY! I am so excited about this venture! I hope you all enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them. Its all still a work in progress, but I have confidence that as time marches on things will take off! Its all about word of mouth!

So over at Doodle Street Blog we are having a sketch challenge. Check it out! We are also having a DT Call. Check that out too! You get 2 freebies just for trying out! Spread the word, even if you are too busy for a DT at the moment!

So here is my card for the sketch...like, 2 days behind schedule. Wait, isn't this partly my blog? Why am I the late one? LOL I hope you enjoy! The image is "tulip" and she can be bought here. All of our images are uber cheap and its great cause you never have to worry about ink stains, or wear and tear or even reconditioning the rubber cause they are all digi! Woot! (not to say that I have something against rubber, cause I LOVE me some stamps, lol).

Next week all of my images will be, buy two , get one free! Come on over and make your list now!

Enjoy! And hey, its almost TGIF!!

Do the monster mash

Hey there, fellow crafters! Have you heard? Have you seen? Have you JUMPED IN?? Doodle Street had our release today! Hop on over and check it out! Freebies, and the winner of this week's challenge gets 2 free images! One from Fresh Brewed Designs, and one from Doodle Street! Come on over!

On to the card that I was able to make this afternoon:

This was for the LPS challenge. Their theme was Halloween and I could not think of anything more fun that Frankie from Doodle Street to make this card with. I found this purple paper and KNEW it was all just going to fall together and it did! I AM, however, bummed, because the comp that hooks to our printer pooped out for the last time yesterday and I was not able to print out the sentiment that goes with him. =0( Guess I will have to add that later. ::shrugs:: oh, well!

Have a great rest of the week!

Soo, who wants to know what's up my sleeve?

I did manage to make a card yesterday and am hoping to get one or two done today as well! I also am getting to play with my friend Jennifer from Alabama today! YAY!

Anyway, this card is for Get Sketchy. This sketch was harder than it seemed. SO many layers! Wow, it took me awhile to get this card just the way I wanted it, but once I did I fell in love!

This image is from The Angel Company. The flowers are from Prima. And, of course, the paper is from Making Memories. I colored her with my Copic and my Bic markers and stickled the flowers with stardust stickles. I hope you enjoy!

Ah, mojo...How I have missed thee...

So, I really wanted to try out for the ICS DT challenge, but I was terrified of the sketch...its...SO different than my comfort zone...and as most of you know, I like staying in my comfort zone. If there is one thing that I have learned in my journey in paperfcrafting, it is this....get outside of your comfort zone and you are going to soar higher than you thought you ever could...so, I took a deep breath...closed my eyes....and jumped in. It----was----awesome!

HA! OKay, seriously. I had a blast and this card just jumped together, no joke. So, here goes!

This card was made from scrap/RAK paper that I have been hoarding. Must...find...more....I used Tim Holtz tea colored distressing ink to...you guessed it! Distress the paper! The pearl skittes were a prize or a RAK. My brain is getting fuzzy on some things. The sentiment is from Stampin Up!

This next card was actually made on...Tuesday? Monday? Monday. Yes. FOR Mojo Monday. How sad that I am just now posting it? ::sigh:: Mommy has gone back to work ultra part time and is learning to balance needs and wants. Need: Time with Noah....Want...time on blog...So, here I am, Friday night, almost 9 pm, finally posting. It will get better. Next week are just two partial days, so not too bad, right? RIGHT? lol!

I do apologize for the lack of quality in this photo. It would seem that both of my sets of batteries lacked the charge to get a decent shot, so here you go!

The image is from Paper Make Up Stamps. The paper is from DCWV, stolen from Heather (toothy) when she least expected it. The skittles were RAKd. Probably from Heather.

What a day!

Heather Towe and I got together yesterday and got our craft on. This time, KIDDO FREE! It was awesome! Heather set a goal for us to make 5 cards each. She made that goal, but I only was able to make 4. I got a little flustered as time grew short, lol!

So here we go! This first card is for Get Sketchy. I LOVE this sketch and this card came very easily for me.

This card is made almost entirely from things that I "borrowed" from Heather. The paper is DCWV and the owls...I believe are from stamping bella.

This next card is for Friday Sketchers..but I might make another one...I am not lovin it, lol. I think its the colors I used to color her as well as the buttons...::shrugs::

This next card was for Stampers Anonymous over on Cafe Mom.

The image is "Grattytude" and the papers are from DCWV (ALSO Heather's...) I was excited to use the cuttlebug and nesties. I sure miss it when we aren't together, lol! I am hoping very hard for one for Christmas! ;) The ribbon is from American Craft.

Star Light, Star Bright...

This week's LPS challenge inspired me IMMEDIATELY but it was just one of those weeks...so, here I am on TR, finally submitting! Phew!

Anyway, here she is! Ain't she a beaut? I really do like this one. Something subtly sweet about it.

Details. Hmmm....The diecuts were all done with my Cricut. George and Basic Shapes as well as my Home Accents...(is that the right name? hmmm...) The paper is all scrap. Yes, indeedie! Actually, it was scrap/RAK paper. The Gorjuss Girl was colored with my skin white copic, and my Bic Markers. Stardust stickles aplenty on this one! The skittles were also a prize/RAK.

I hope you enjoy this post! Mwa!!

In love with Ketto

Still...the love affair continues as I use the last of this image. ::sigh:: I need to invest in her. Should have bought her instead of the one that I did, but I love the one I bought too. Oh, life's dilemas, lol!

This card is for ICS. The sketch was great and I got right to work on it today! The paper and ribbon are all scrap ( I am being so good. Can I PuhWEEESE buy some new paper???). The skittles were a RAK from a sweet friend. I used my copic skin white to color my ketto, as well as my bics and my prima gray to outline with. I used my cotton candy stickles on the hearts. Love them stickles! I also doodled on the top and bottom, which is something I hardly ever do, but I was just feelin it. The card was begging for some kind of doodles.

Hope to be back with more later! Thanks for stopping in!!
