I am a bit late with the greeting - just not time to add to the blog! We are having a good day - hubby's pain has eased a bit over the past couple of weeks and he is feeling more like getting out a little. We attended the youth breakfast at church before services. Otherwise it is a quiet day. It is good to share with you the joy of the resurrection.

Splatters or sprays - QKR Stampede DT for challenge #216
The challenge at QKR Stampede this week is to use splatters or sprays. I saw this truck and it made me think of splashing (?) through the mud! I spattered water mixed with reinker, using my aqua brush. Both the truck and sentiment are QKR digis. If you enter the challenge a maximum of 3 times you will have a chance to win some of these cuties - even more if you use a QKR image. The deadline is always 6pm eastern time on Thursday. I had a bit of this Paper Pizzazz dp to use and selected colors from the paper. I used my distressed stripes embossing folder (Cuttlebug) for the bg - it kind of reminds me of tracks. The oval dies are Spellbinders, and I added some acrylic dots.

SCS Falliday Fest - Dini's Masking - Christmas
For the background: I punched stars and used them as a mask. Next I simply pressed (fairly lightly) the ink pad on to the white cs. Voila! A starry background!
I was at the Dollar tree store yesterday, and this roll of Decorative Mesh, another sparkly metallic ribbon, as well as a roll of burlap-like duct tape -just jumped into my card. The mesh will be a little harder to use than I anticipated as it ravels very easily and will take a bit of effort to attach, but I think I will be able to make good use of it for a special added touch. The image, which I watercolored, and sentiment are from QKR Stampede.

Recycled Christmas card
Today we want to remember all the victims of 9-ll and pray for all of the families affected by acts of terror that have happened throughout the world.
Over the years I have saved many Christmas cards with plans to recycle them - thanks for the challenge to encourage me to do at least one! The blue DP is Paper Pizazz, and the yellow is Paper Studio. The edges are distressed. Star brads complete the layout.

Addicted to Stamps
I have not yet decided on the image to use for our Christmas cards for this year, but it maybe this great shepherd boy (QKR digis). I prefer to use mostly the same image, and for me simple is best! This layout works well, but there will be other sketches out there to use! I am just not sure DH will go for the non-traditional colors, but I like this striped paper! The tabs are a glittery gold ribbon, and the star is punched from glitter paper. I edged the image layers with Memento London Fog ink. The cs is shimmery Champagne from Recollection.

DT card for QKR Stampede challenge #199 - transportation

I colored the horse and rider with Prismas, and used chalk to lightly distress the edges. I used twine for a lasso, and Washi tape (maybe it is duck tape?) for the strips. The background is dry embossed. The sentiment is also from QKR (available as a rubber stamp) . It is actually a single line that I cut apart to fit the sketch.

DT card for Eureka Stamps challenge #196 - "wings"
I really like this penguin trying to stay cool. When I chose the image, I certainly did not realize that the outside temperature here in Arizona would be a record breaking 115 - the earliest date recorded for that high a temperature!
Before submitting this card to a couple of challenges, I felt I had to verify some facts. To find out if penguins have feathers and if they qualify as winged creatures, check out this website: Penguin.net.nz/faq/ . Among other things you will learn is that penguins do in fact have knees, feathers and wings!
Challenge #196 at Eureka Stamps is "things with wings". You have until 3pm EDT Sunday to enter as many as 3 times. You may win some of the Eureka images.
Recipe: Image, Penguin on Ice; sentiment - Cool birthday - Eureka; stickles (on the ice); shimmery silver cs by Recollections; Cuttlebug embossing folder - Diamonds; shiny black gems; misc DP and dark grey cs; inspiration - "March of the Penguins"

Eureka Stamps Challenge #192 - April Showers bring May flowers

Tulips are a favorite of mine - such a lovely result of April showers - just not so much here in Arizona. For this challenge I used the stamp "tulips" and the Blessings sentiment - both available as digis at the Eureka site. The background is light purple, though on my screen it looks blue! I added ribbon and some tiny punched butterflies, which I covered in sparkly purple glitter mixed with gold.. Please join us with your floral entries. You can win 2 digis of your choice - 3 if your entry uses an image from Eureka.

Center Step Card - HB, Iva
This is my first center step card. .I purchased a packet of pre-cut bases since I am not very good at cutting styles like this! It has already been sent to my sister - in - law - I know this is a favorite color of hers. The stamp is SU, and the Blessings is a Cheery Lynn die. I used Washi tape on the inside, and added a couple of stickers to fill in spaces.

Sending Sunshine
The oval die cuts are Spellbinders, and Tiny Flowers die cuts are by Cheery Lynn. The DP is cut from a framed piece that was probably designed to use for scrapbooks or perhaps for letter writing. This sentiment makes me think of the oldie "You are my sunshine...".
