Challenge #73 QKR Stampede

Good Morning, friends.  Thanks for  joining me today on this beautiful Friday.  We have a new challenge for y'all today.  Last week's "Winter Fun" challenge was a blast and we had tons of wonderful entries. 

Our challenge this week is everyone's favorite. "Anything Goes".  I love these challenges because it lets your imagination and creativity run wild.  I decided to make a birthday card for my DT Inspiration.

As you can see, this is a magical card.  He he he.  I used a premade card base from a card kit that I received a long time ago.  Figured I better start using up my stash so that when my spending freeze is over, I can buy more..:)

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all are about to have a wonderful weekend.  You can find both of these images in our store.  Make sure to stop on over to QKR Stampede and check out all the yummy eye candy that my design team sisters have created.  God bless y'all.

Cowgirl Birthday

Hello friends.  Thanks for stopping by today.  I had to hurry and finish this card so that I could enter it into a couple of challenges that end today.

I love Kenny K images.  This has to be one of my favorites.  Those sexy boots just make me quiver..I want a pair.  Never mind the fact that I would probably re-break my neck if I had a pair.  LOL

Thanks again for stopping in.  Have a wonderful evening.  God bless y'all.

Pink and Purple Birthday Card

Hello friends.  Happy Monday.  It's beginning to snow again here.  Man, I'm so ready for some tropical weather..maybe the Bahamas or at this point Mexico.

Today's card uses lots of pinks and purples.  It's pretty blinged up too.

This is Pip and she's from 


I went to Walmart about two weeks ago and for some reason I went to the children's craft spot.  I found two boxes of gemstones for $4 each.  Each one has about 300 pieces in it.  There are lots of different sizes and even some different shaped ones. They aren't self adhesive, but a bit of Glossy Accents and you're done.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all had a great Monday.  God bless.

Melonheadz Friends Monda

Happy Monday!  Today is the start of Melonheadz Friends new challenge.  This is our last challenge for this year.  This is sad, but I am looking forward to 2014 and all the wonderful things this new year is going to bring.

Our challenge is: Anything Goes.  I always love these challenges.

I chose to use the "Pink Pirate" Bundle from Nikki's store.  I colored all the images with my BIC Markers and fussy cut everything out.  I used a black sharpie to go around all the edges to hide the white edges. I added some glitter gel pen in Clear Star for some glitter...a girl has to bling it up, right?  I used three different papers from Recollections All Girl stack. The Black card stock is from Recollections and some of the images are adhered using pop dots.  The sentiment is from a Studio G stamp, inked up in Primrose Petals SU ink.

I hope y'all like this cute little pirate.  I am going to save this card for my daughter's birthday in May. She loves pink and black, so she will like it.  Maybe I'll see one of your cards entered into the new challenge this week.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  God bless y'all.

Digi Darla Challenge # 93

Hello there my friends.  Today is Monday and  that means a new challenge at Digi Darla.  Our challenge this week is "Use Felt or Wool."  You can use felt or wool in any way, shape or form as long as it's visible and recognizable on your project.

I had these cute little felt cupcakes sitting on my desk just waiting for a project.  They looked a little naked so I cut a piece of card stock and scored it with my score board to look like a cupcake paper wrapper.

I know it's Christmas time, but we all need Birthday cards all year, right?  I used two papers from The Paper Studio and the card stock is Colorbok.  The sentiment is from Digi Darla.  

I hope that you will think about joining us for this challenge.  I would love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate the time y'all take to stop by my blog.  God bless!

Horsing Around

Hi there.  I have a birthday card that I made for one of Kierstynne's friends to show y'all today.  She is obsessed with horses.  She is even taking riding lessons now.  Dani loves them.

I decided to go with black and white for this card.  I used the running horse from the Inkadinkado set "Horses".  I inked up the stamp with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamped it three times without reinking.  This gives the appearance of the horse running across the page.  The sentiment is The Paper Studio "Clearly Speaking".  I added some black and white gingham ribbon and three black rhinestones to finish off the card.

Dani's party was a Thanksgiving morning breakfast and when she saw this card, she had a fit.  Yeah, she loved it.

Thanks for stopping in.  I hope y'all have a great night and keep warm.  God bless y'all.
