CRAFTY HOS' CHALLENGE - SINGLE LAYER CARD

Head on over to Crafty HOs' Challenge for this week's challenge - Single Layer card!  Sounds like it would be easy but it's not, although it's really FUN!!  I had a great time making this week's challenge card.

I used TAC white 100, stamped my image using masking technique to give it some depth and also stamped the sentiment.  Then I ran card through Big Shot using Quickutz EF.  I used Offray satin ribbon on the side.  I made the buttons following the tutorial from my friend Melissa's Blog - took white buttons and then daubed different colors of Adirondak alcohol ink on them.  Hope you like it.  Let me know what you think and make sure to enter the challenge!!  HAVE FUN!

KABOODLE DOODLES CHALLENGE #25

Monday morning, admittedly not my favorite day or time, but it does bring a new challenge at KABOODLE DOODLES this week!!  Check it out: http://kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com/ 

This week's challenge is to do a fancy fold card.  I chose this folded paper frame technique based on the SCS tutorial which you can find here: http://kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com/  I love this technique, it looks cool and not horribly difficult or time consuming.:)

All DP is from Basic Grey Sugar Rush pack, one of my favorites!!  Image is from Inky Antics, colored with copics and cut using paper trimmer.  Base CS is SU certainly celery, scalloped circle, which was cut with nesties is SU taken with teal.   Buttons are from deNami designs and ribbon is Offray from JoAnn.  Sentiment is computer generated and sponged over with SU almost amythest.  It is cut using SU punch.  This is also my card for an 80s swap, so that's what the sentiment is for.  Does anyone remember the 80's song "Jenny" by the band Tommy Tutone?  That's where the sentiment comes from!  Hope you enjoy it:)

NEW CHALLENGE BLOG - CHECK IT OUT!!

Good afternoon everyone!  Kind of a lazy day here for me and my family after a SUPER busy weekend.  Just wanted to tell you all about a new Challenge Blog - you can find it at http://craftyhoschallenge.blogspot.com/  Come visit us for a chance to join in some fun challenges, meet great people and win some prizes while you're at it!  Our first challenge started today and we will be posting a new challenge every Sunday.  This week's challenge is THINK SPRING and it was easy for me because I am SO READY for spring!!

I love the papers from K & Company that I used on this card, reminds me so much of spring.  I chose a gate fold b/c I also designed this card for a swap celebrating the designs of Anna Wight for Whipper Snapper which required a gate fold card.  I love this fold!  I colored the images with copics and then sponged the background with SU yoyo yellow ink.  I trimmed the image using personal trimmer and then cut the corners using an SU circle punch.  Bling and pearls are e. from Prima.  Base CS is SU baja breeze and green galore.  Thanks so much for looking and make sure to join us on the challenge blog!!

BLOG HOP FOR GABBY ARRIAZA!

I am taking part in a blog hop for my friend and stamper extraordinaire, Gabby Arriaza (aka Gabby Green Eyes).  Gabby and her family are going through a rough patch right now and so a bunch of her friends got together to do this hop.  In addition, PaperMakeupStamps is offering 3 digi downloads on their site for purchase with proceeds from the sale of the image and 2 sentiments going directly to Gabby and her family.  You can check it out here:
http://papermakeup.com/ 

For this card, I colored the PaperMakeupStamps image with copics.  Gabby is a rockin', goth-y girl, so I gave the image a bit of goth.  I cut her out by hand and used SU crysal effects on the droplets.  CS is SU basic black and SU metallic silver is the 2nd layer, cut out using nesties.  Sentiment, also from PaperMakeup is cut using nesties and kaisercraft bling is on it.  Love the quote!!

This is the inside with a personalized computer generated message for our gal Gabs, love ya Chica!!

FREEBIE FRIDAY AT BUGABOO STAMPS

Today is FREEBIE FRIDAY AT BUGABOO STAMPS!!  Head on over and pick up your freebies:  http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Shop_digistamps.html  (you'll probably find some other stuff you like too!:))  I chose the flowers today as my image to work with because, as I have mentioned, I am craving the start of SPRING!  Plus, now that my blending with my copics has gotten a bit better, I really enjoy coloring flowers.

For this card, I printed the images in 3 different sizes, colored with copics and atyou spicas and then cut them out by hand.  I used SU green galore for base CS and garden green for top CS that I embossed with Sizzix EF.  DP is K & Company, ribbon is Offray satin.  Sentiment is computer generated an cut with SU punch, colored over with atyou spica and daubed with SU garden green ink.  Hope you like it and that it puts you in the Spring state of mind:) 

SEW MANY CARDS CHALLENGE - FEBRUARY 19-25

Hi Everyone!  Another SEW MANY CARDS CHALLENGE today - make sure you check it out - http://sewmanychallenges.blogspot.com/  and also another Friday Freebie!!  Love this week's freebie, thanks Angela:)  This week's challenge, sponsored by Inktegrity (check out blinkie on my sidebar) is to create a card based on this sketch design done by our very own Jeri.  Thanks for a great sketch Jeri, I had sew much fun with this one!

For this card, I decided that I was tired of anything that looked like it was winter-y or Valentine's related, so I decided to step out of my "comfort zone" colors and make something fresh and bright.  I chose SU certainly celery for my base CS, K & Company DP, and this really fun ribbon, which I think I got from Stamping Bella.  Pearls and bling are e. by Prima.  I colored the image using copics and then decorated with bling, atyou spicas and SU crystal effects on the hearts.  I love the way the colors look, so fun and spring-like:)  I cut the image out with nesties and daubed with SU tangerine tango ink.  The sentiment is computer generated.  All white CS is GP 110.  Thanks so much for looking, please let me know what you think.

Today is Thurs. and so it's Oldy But Goody day at BUGABOO STAMPS (visit the store here: http://bugaboostamps.com/home.html and the challenge blog here: http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com ) Ok, this digi stamp, which is called Crabby Cathy could be called "Crabby Audrey" because I also have curly hair and hate to do housework, especially laundry LOL. I used fabric from JoAnn for the laundry. You can buy scraps in a few bins at JoAnn that are left over from rolls that were cut. I have always seen people use fabric on the cards and the effects amaze me, so I decided to try it. Very pleased with how it turned out:) I colored Kathy and the laundry basket with copics and used them for the background as well. She is cut out using nesties as is the DP behind her, which is K & Company. CS is SU old olive, ribbon is also SU old olive. Other DP is also K & Company, cut using personal trimmer, and pearls are e. from Prima.

This is the inside of the card. Sentiment is part of Crabby Cathy set from Bugaboo Stamps, higlighted with copics. Love this sentiment, so funny!

The sketch I used for this card comes from my dear friend Joni, owner and creator of Inktegrity Digi Stamps (blog: http://inktegrity.blogspot.com store: http://www.shophandmade.com/Store/Joni ). Thanks Joni!!

Enjoy everyone and let me know what you think.

SEW MANY CARDS CHALLENGE!! SPONSORED BY TELLEN'S PLACE AND WAGS 'N WHISKERS

Not one to comment much on my personal existence on my blog, I must share this with everyone and apologize for this post being late.  Yesterday, our long struggling main computer decided to check out for good.  May it RIP.  My laptop, which has also been acting "funny" recently also quit on me as did our printer, so it was a great day - NOT!  I started setting up our newly purchased computer, router, etc. last night about 5pm.  I have to say that I have very little working knowledge of computers, so I was pretty proud of myself that I not only hooked up (wired) the computer, but I also installed a new router and created a new network plus downloaded or installed about half the programs that were on our former computer.  That takes me to now 2:45pm on Fri. - mind you, I threw in about 7 hrs. sleep somewhere in there.  I now have over 250 e-mails and am late for this post.  SO SORRY to Angela, Jeri and the rest of the SMC DT for my tardiness.

This week's challenge, sponsored by both Tellen's Designs and Wags 'N Whiskers is a Valentine themed card using white, pink and red.  SU pink piroutte, riding hood red and TAC white 100 are what I used for CS.  Used Embossing Folder from Cuttlebug to do 3 strips plus white background.  Colored SEW MANY CARDS wonderful image with Copics, Atyou Spicas and Smooch.  Sentiment computer generated and punched with SU punch.  Thanks for looking - please click on badges/blinkies on my sidebar to visit our WONDERFUL sponsers and the SEW MANY CARDS store.  HUGS!!

I LOVE Bugaboo's Skelekinz line (did you notice?!? LOL) and so I just couldn't help using this Skelekinz baby - isn't she adorable??!!??  I colored her with Copics - I made her "goth" for my friend (and Bugaboo Guest DT!) Gabby's swap on SCS.  I cut her out with nesties and then daubed edges with SU vintage violet ink.  Behind her is another nestie cut out of SU basic black.  White CS is GP 110.  Sentiment is computer generated and cut using nesties and daubed with SU vintage violet.  Background CS is Bazzill textured.  I can't remember brand of fibers - eek.  As always, thanks for looking!!  Tell me what you think.

SEW MANY CARDS SPONSOR THE CUTTING CAFE

I designed this card with an image provided by one of SMC's Febraury sponsors, The Cutting Cafe http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/  You have got to check out their store!!  They have AWESOME digis, templates and digi background papers, PLUS you get an AMAZING bonus of being able to check out the work of their owner, Regina Easter.  Regina - I LOVE your work, you are soo talented!!

I designed this card using this great Cutting Cafe image, I was drawn to it the moment I saw it - what a great image for any card, but especially Valentine's.  I colored it with copics, trimmed with my paper trimmer and then daubed the edges with SU melon mambo.  CS is GP white 110, SU Garden Green and Bazzill sparkly, textured pink.  Ribbon was in my ribbon bin - no idea where it came from.  Thanks so much for looking!

KABOODLE DOODLES CHALLENGE #24 - DOTS & STRIPES

Well, it's time for another challenge over at Kaboodle Doodles - WOO HOO!!    So head on over and enter your project for a chance to win the newest digi papers from Kaboodle Doodles!

This week's challenge is to create something using dots and stripes.  I decided to go with something different this week, so I did an altered item instead of a card.   I altered this purse from Creative Imaginations.  I covered it with Kaboodle Doodles brand new digi paper - I just LOVE the colors.  I coated them with heavy permanent adhesive on the back using my Xyron.  The image, which I colored with copic and then cut with nesties, is from Bugaboo Stamps (http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Shop_digistamps.html).

Here's some additional views.  I also used this cute sentiment from Bugaboo.   I thought the clip, from We R Memory Keepers, added a nice touch.  I'm thinking one of my girls could use this for her school Valentine's.
