UR Amazing

Good morning!  I was able to play along with the Split Coast Stampers sketch challenge yesterday; it had been a long time since I'd played, so it was fun!  Here are the details and sketch.

I used a fun set from Doodle Pantry, called "A-maze-ing Words 1".  Laurie has a bunch of cute mazes to choose from...I think they are really fun for kids' cards.  The image is printed on DP, die cut, and layered onto my card base with a banner and some Bella Dots.  Voila'...a quick and easy card for a teen!

And Baby Makes Three....

Good morning!  It's Tuesday so that means we have a new sketch for you at Tuesday Morning Sketches; check it out:

I like the sketch...I chose to keep my card simple.  I pulled out one of my Stampendous Calendar Chick stamps...they are some of my favorites, I love to color them!  The image is colored with pencils, the eyes are dotted with a black gel pen, and I've added some glitter to the mama's bow.  I embellished simply with a button/floss.  I'm liking how this one turned out...I like the soft colors and glitter.

Winter Fun

Good morning!  We have a new sketch for you at From the Heart Stamps; along with the sketch is an optional twist...interactive cards.  Here is the sketch we are working with this week:

I searched for different types of interactive cards that would go with the sketch and decided to make a shaker card...I thought some "snow" would be perfect with the image.  I printed and colored my image, die cut it...and then realized that I had not left enough margin for a "frame"!  Ack!  On to plan B...I finished the card, minus the fun shaker effect.  I've done a bit of sponging, paper piercing, and added glitter and a snowflake for embellishing.  (I bet you are wondering why I have a winter card today after posting a couple of springy ones....  It was below zero yesterday and we are supposed to get 1-2 inches of snow tomorrow!  Will spring ever come?)

Stella Says Sketch

Good morning!  It's time for a new Stella Says Sketch challenge at Bugaboo; here's the sketch we're working with:

Great sketch, right?!  This adorable bunny and her ladybug friends reminded me of some papers in my stash...and the elusive matching brad which took forever to find!  LOL  The image is colored with pencils and accented with a bit of glitter.  I've embellished simply with the brad.

it's all 'behind' ewe...

Good morning!  We have an inspiration challenge for you today at Bugaboo; check out the photo:

Hmmm, inspiration challenges are always tough for me...I tend to take them too literal.  I was browsing the store and when I came across this cute Ewe image, I knew it was perfect.  Don't they say "In like a lion, out like a lamb"?  So good riddance winter!  It's all behind us...hopefully!  LOL

The image is colored with pencils...I got the idea for the pink ewe from the Inkspirational challenge.  I used the Mojo Monday sketch and embellished with die cuts, brads, and a snippet of ribbon.

Have a Tweet Day

Good morning!  I've got a card to share using one of the Doodle Pantry new March releases...Tweet Birdhouses. I've combined an image with a sentiment and printed one of the matching DPs (I love the paper choices with this set!).  The image panel is die cut and layered; I've added some twill and brads for embellishing.

Celebrate

Good morning!  We have a new challenge for you at Ruby's Rainbow; for this fortnight Jennifer has chosen our challenge and she would like to see something "Birthday" related.  Great challenge, it is always good to have some extra birthday cards for the stash!

I went with one of my old favorites...a Stampendous Calendar Chick!  She is colored with pencils and I've paired her with some springy looking papers and buttons for embellishing.  (I'm looking at my card on the computer screen and it looks like the pink paper and button don't match the pink coloring....  The card is sitting right here and it matches great...weird!  Has anyone else ever had this happen?)
