Sketch Wednesday at TDS

This week's challenge at The Digi Shack is a sketch challenge using the above sketch. I turned the sketch for my card. I used this beautiful horse image to create my card. I love this image... It makes me want to ride a horse on a beach in Hawaii! ( I probably never will, but this card makes me think I am there!) My designer paper is from Recollections. Solid card stock from Bazzil,and I water colored the blue background on water color paper. I added some interest to the blue background piece with a few SU stamps to try and mimac the DP.My image was cut out with Spellbinders deckle die. A few brads, a corner rounder, Copics to color, and an SU punch for the rest of my card. Let me know what you think, and hop on over to The Digi Shack and give the challenge a try! Happy Wednesday everyone!

Hang in There!

Well, I did another card "just cause I wanted to". I love creating without any constraints or time frames! I did this card using a cute Stupendous stamp, my Cuttlebug with polka dot embossing folder and a cardboard oval frame that I made for the template to go around my image. I also used; some lace doilies, Tim Holtz walnut inks, a paper bag(for cutting the tag), Basic Gray dp,a stamp from Michael's $1 spot, An SU stamp,my Copics, and some twine. Phew!Once you start creating I guess you just go on "auto-pilot and grab whatever you think "works"! I like how this turned out...how about you?

Fiesta Time!

Doesn't this cute little horse remind you of a Mexican Fiesta?! I got this digital image over a year ago (and 1 computer ago) so I really don't remember what "shop" it's from. If you can help me out with the info please leave a comment and let me know so I can give "props" where I should....(Rleen helped me out! It came from Paper Cupcakes and is entitled Painted Pony. Thanks Rleen!)
Anyway, on to my card... I used some cute Basic Grey paper from their Sugar Rush line for my background. The matching brad is also from Basic Grey. I used my Spellbinders for the purple frame around the image, pretty "ribbon" from the $1 spot at Big Lots and my Copics and Prisma Markers to color. I made this into a birthday card for my nephew whose birthday is this Saturday. So let me know what you think and be sure to leave me some lovin' !

Oh Happy Day !

This cute image is from Clearly Delightful...isn't she just precious? Laurie is so talented and her images amaze me! I received this image last month but have been so busy that today was the first chance I had to play with her.I love doing a card "just for the fun of it"...Under no time constraints...Just 'cause I feel like creating! This is one of those times! I even tried my hand at sewing on it! I took a "sick" day from work today for some Dr. tests but then had the rest of the day for myself. I LOVE mental health days! They rock! Have a good day everyone and leave me some lovin' !

Wednesday Challenge at The Digi Shack

Usually Wednesday is a watercolor challenge at The Digi Shack. But this week our challenge is to make a card in a shape you don't usually use. No 4" x 6" cards, or any other sized cards that you always find yourself using! I used the Spellbinders "Label Eight" to find my card size. I used the biggest die for my card size, then used 2 other smaller sizes in the same dies for the rest of the card. This image is called "Bunny with Flower". Isn't he so cute? So head on over to The Digi Shack, pick up an image (or two) and show us what you create! Have a super fun Wednesday everyone and be sure to leave me some lovin' !

Manic Monday Freebie!

Hop on over to The Digi Shack to get a cute image of a barrel! Then make a card or other creation using it and post it to your blog, or at The Digi Shack on SNR, and on PCP, Splitcoast Stampers, etc. Leave us a link so we can check it out!
I made this card by combining 4 different images from The Digi Shack. I used one monkey image on the front of my card here:


And then I used all three of the monkey images available at the shop along with the "freebie" barrel for the inside of my card here:



I colored it with my prisma markers and copics.I added some ribbon, some twine, a few buttons (from Walmart), colored card stock, and a piece of DP for the background (On front of card).

Isn't it so darn cute!? I think this card would be suitable for any age, boy or girl, man or woman...What do you think?

KAPOW !

Who doesn't love the movie Cars?! I have a little boy in my class who is turning 5 this week and he loves the movie...So...I thought I would whip him up a birthday card using my Cricut "Cars" Cartridge. Sounds easy peasy right? Wrong! It took me two hours of manual labor to make it look like this. I couldn't get my machine to cut my colored card stock, it kept on ripping it! So I finally used heavy white card stock and colored all the parts before putting them together! My background was done with water color paper and paint. I like how it turned out and I hope he loves it cause it was a labor of love for me! Leave me some lovin' !
I am entering this in the Cricutters Anonymous Challenge #29 which is to make a man themed card...
