It's Your Day!

It's Your Day -  Here is a little cutie that I made for my Seems a Little Sketchy DT project. This one is so much simplier than my usual cards and it was such fun to make.

Here is the sketch for this fortnights challenge. I nice, easy one that is still gorgeous.

We are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments and this cute image is Blitzen by them. Again, it is a simple image, but a great one to color and how sweet is she?

I colored Blitzen with Copics and gave her scraf some Stickles.

My DP is from my scrap drawer and I don't know who made it. Sorry the scrap was too small to have the manufactors name on it.

My butterfly punch is MS. I added some Viva Decor pearls using my pearl pen.

My senitment is Hot Off the Press.

Thanks for stopping by!

Howdy

Howdy - Wohoo! Another challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy!!!  The sketch this time was girly, so I decided to change it up and make it Masculine! I used an adorable little cowboy image from Ai Factory, who is our sponsor for this challenge.

Jen make the most fabulous sketches for us to use and true to form I turned it. I don't know if you have noticed, but I always turn the sketch before I start working to see to decide which way I want to do the sketch. It seems that I always forget to turn it back before I post it here on my blog.

I am so behind in my scrap booking and this sketch was a good one to work with. My DP's are Kaleidoscope by MME. I used my Cricut to cut the shape. I used the Gypsy Wandering cartridge.

All of the DP's were inked with Peacock feathers distress inks. It is in the spring color pack.

My sweet little cowboy is Ai Factory's image. It is a good buy, as there are several images in this set. I used only 3, but there were more.

My images were colored with Copics on Neenha Smooth Solor White Classic Crest. I like the way the markers glide across the paper.

Here is the cactus. Isn't it fun?

The circle are a series of punches by CM. I off set them and used star brads to hold them together.
This added interest to what could have been rather dull. (This is my tip for Top Tip Tuesday.)

Here is the star, another image in the Ai Factory set.

The sentiment/title was cut again using my Cricut. This time I used the Old West cartridge. I cut the shadow feature twice; as with the red it got lost, adding the blue helped it stand out a little more.

I just wanted to leave you with the photo on this page. It is me holding my grandson Jace in the NICU. He had to stay there for a week and I spent a lot of time in that chair rocking him. Jace is now almost 3 years old and is a strong, healthy little boy.

Lavender Flowers

Lavender Flowers - Time for another challenge at Seems a Little Sketchy. Whoopsie Daisy is our sponsor this time.

My papers are Prima Nursery Tales. You can't see it in the photo, but the paper is flocked. I love the soft lavender with the deeper purple flocking. It looks almost brown.

Is is a shoot of the sketch. Jenn does such a good job making the sketches for us.

Here is my image. Isn't she a doll. I love that she is not facing us. I colored her with Copic's and added Stickles to her sleeve, the center of the flowers and the ruffle on her socks.

My corner is diecut from a SB with brown cardstock and the Prima paper then layered with pop dots. I like the dimention that it gives it. The roses were from the wedding section. And the leave is another SB.

A very simple card, but I really like it.

Flower

Flower - Today starts a new sketch challenge at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. We are sponsored by Sweet Stamps.

We have an easy and fun sketch for you this week.

My Designer Paper is from my scrap drawer. I don't have a clue as to who made it.

My flower was a make and take at the Heartfelt Creations booth from a scrapbooking convention that I went to last summer. We started with white paper that was stamped and cut with a diecut. The color was put on using Viva Decor Inca Gold. It is a pasty supstains that we put on iwth a damp sponce. I used to colors, then we cut and shaped the petal. The center was a coffee smelling little grains. I supect that it has some coffee grounds in it.

My sentiment is Hot Off the Press.
