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!!

TGIF

So today, I am bushed, but I took the time to do a couple of challenges. YAY for crafty time!

I did the ICS challenge and the Get Sketchy challenge. Both were sketches.
This first card was the Get sketchy challenge. I knew what image I wanted to use for this sketch, but could not get the paper just right. It took awhile, but I am finally happy with my outcome.

I used a penny black image that I got from my friend Jenny. I popped out the flower and stickled it with my cotton candy stickles. The papers are from DCWV, the Nanas Nursery Girl Pack.

This last card is for the ICS challenge. I decided it was time to do another Christmas card! Used a House Mouse image from the Christmas in July swap we had in Card Makin Mamas. I hope you enjoy!

A Beary Colorful Challenge

Hey, there citizens! Today I finished my card for the LPS blog challenge! I love using Katie because I can paper piece with her. I even piece the bows and the patch! Love it!

This week's challenge was to use the colors, brown, green and blue. I hope you enjoy!

Got Sketch?

So I found this new blog last week, and I like it! So I played again this week! Get Sketchy. Love em! Lots of neat stuff!
Here is my card! I used the very last of my house mouse punkin images. Going to just have to invest in this stamp, he, he, he! I used my new Heidi Grace paper that I LOVE and some polka dot scrap papers. I really hope you like! I wasn't sure about the sketch at first, but of course, as I played, I liked it more and more!
Have a great night! (apologies for the quality of the pic....my son is dieing to get some attention!) ;)

Nurse Nellie!

So I FINALLY accomplished some crafty-ness this week! Only one card, but eh, I have done worse, ha!

Today I used the "Mojo Monday" sketch challenge for my best friend (really, since the 6th grade!) She is getting her LPN pinning tomorrow (in regular people terms, she is graduating school as an LPN...a nurse) and I took this challenge to make her a card. Here you go!


I was FINALLY able to dig out my very last of the last Nurse Nellie Images. Phew! I was SO afraid I didn't have any more! I was also brave enough to sew for REAL on my card. It wasn't that bad! Who knew?? This might become more of a regular on my cards! It was super simple, it just took a little time and that's alright. I can't remember who makes the papers. they were all scraps (so proud to be going through all of them!) The flowers are American Craft and I sewed some buttons that were a prize from Shannon onto them.

Anyway, hope you enjoy this cute lil gal as much as I did! Great sketch, mojo!!
