Coffee Drinking non aging Maxine!

This is an image that has been in my RAK stash for a long time.  Can any one help me with the origin?  I colored her with Prismas.  The flowers are a variety of die cuts - some are Cheery Lynn.

Happy Anniversary, hubby!

This is doing double duty.  Today is our 61st anniversary - I must admit that I sometimes run out of ideas after exchanging so many cards over the years.  (He has anniversary, birthday and father's day within about 3 weeks so that increases the challenge.)  But this certainly expresses how I feel,  In spite of health challenges over the past few years, he does so much to make me feel loved.

This image is from QKR Stampede.  I hope you will join us for the anything goes challenge.  You may enter up to 3 times - the deadline is always Thursday at 3 p.m.
I used Twinkling H20's to give some shimmer to the hearts and the cup.  The papers are from a Beau Papier collection.

Bonus DT card for Crafter's Cafe - TIc Tac Toe

I had an opportunity to select a bonus image for the current Tic Tac Toe challenge at the Crafter's Cafe.  I was happy to select All American Owen from the Paper Nest Dolls.  He will make a great card to donate to the local group Hearts for the Troops - but not so great for the tic tac toe grid LOL!
  The embossed layer is by Darice and looks like fireworks.
Diagonal - white, patterned paper, dry embossing


Come join us during the next two weeks!

DT card for Crafter's Cafe - tic tac toe

Please join the Crafter's Cafe challenge during the next two weeks - following the tic tac toe challenge - that is tic tac toe with a twist - be sure to use the center square.  since that is Patternrd Paper it should be pretty easy!  My image is called Time Well Spent, and comes from Creative BUg on the Loose - look for this great father-son image under Family Connections.
I colored the image with Prismas.  The DP has fishing lures - they are very subtle and hard to see!
These are the tic-tac-toe squares I completed - nearly all of them!  Diagonals:  white, patterned paper, embossing and yellow, patterned paper, black; also - first column - white, twine, black.

Scribbles Designs Nov. 25 Inspiration

#A 17 Leaf Doodle 4
This is my end of the month inspiration card for Scribbles.  Check out their blog for details.  The current theme is "A tree-mendous time of the year:, and you may enter up to 3 times before 9 pm PST, Dec. 14.  This doodle leaf design is such a great one for so many situations.  I chose to use it for a sympathy card.  Unfortunately, my stash needs to be replenished.
I colored the image with Prisma pencils.  The DP I used has more of a green color IRL.    The sentiment is found here.

TCCC #184 The Sound of Music

This week MUSIC is the theme for the challenge at The Crafter's Cafe.  Check out the blog for some great inspiration from the team members.  Some of us used images from one of the sponsors - Dr. Digi. I selected this one called The Sound of Music.  I did my best Julie Andrews imitation!  I am not sure she ever wore a green jumper in the film, but I thought green went with the DP I was using.  I have more than enough supplies to last a couple of lifetimes, but, alas, not much for the music theme.  I used several bits from my DCWV Heritage pad, including a music piece.  You may enter the challenge up to 3 times, with a maximum of 10 challenges entered.  The challenge will run for 2 weeks.

Scribbles Guest design with Sunshine Mason Jar



 

I have an exciting announcement this morning.  For the next three months, I will be a guest designer at the Scribbles Designs Challenge.  You are welcome to check out the theme and join in the fun.  The photo above is inspiration for this challenge which ends Nov. 15.  Check out the details of the challenge here:  Scribbles Designs Challenge.Blogspot
The Scribbles shop has so many cute images, including several already filled mason jars and the corresponding sentiments.  Find them here.  For my card I added a couple of extra suns - included with the image.  I colored the image with Prisma pencils, and fussy cut the jar and the suns, then tied a bit of raffia around the neck of the jar.  (Not to worry - GDT cards do not necessarily follow the theme!)

Confirmation greetings for Mabry

I have almost finished the series of cards to send to recent confirmands at our church.  For these 9th graders, this is a very important milestone in their faith journey, and I wanted to commemorate it for them.  The image is Sweet 'n Sassy, colored with shiny Joy gel pens.  The edging of the Bible is colored with a Sakura jelly roll pen that turns a shiny gold. The die is Cheery Lynn, and the papers from a pad called Faith by Paper Studio.  I added the negative pieces from shiny gold stickers as an accent. I really like burgundy with neutrals.
