This Bud's for You

Hello there!  Thanks for stoppin' in today.  I have a cute card for ya today.  I found this cute image when I first started using digis.  I'm not sure who the designer is, so if you know,  please let me know.

I used an Olive card stock from Recollections to make the card base.  The DP is from MME and the Light Green card stock is from Colorbok.  I ran it through the Swiss Dot EF for some texture.  I matted the image and sentiment on a very Dark Green Recollections card stock.  I used my colored pencils and OMS to give this cute little guy some life.

Thanks for stoppin' in today.  I truly appreciate it.  I hope y'all have a blessed day!

Fly Like a Bird

Welcome back.  I'm so glad y'all stopped in.  I have a card for ya that is just for the birds..he he

I love this little image.  It's one of those I downloaded when I first started with digi stamps and I have no idea who designed it.  If you know, please leave me a comment so that I can give the proper credit. :)
I started this card by printing out the image and sentiment (Verses) on Neenah card stock.  I used BIC Markers and Sakura glitter pens to color in the image.  After trimming it down, I matted it onto a panel of Recollections Red card stock.  The sentiment is matted onto Olive Green Recollections card stock.  The DPs are from DCWV.  Each piece of DP is matted onto either red, green or both colors of card stock. The sentiment is popped up. 

Thanks for stopping by tonight again to see my work.  God bless y'all.

Psalm 51:10

Welcome back.  I have another card for y'all this morning.  I pulled out an old DCWV stack to make this card.  I think it was probably one of the first stacks I ever bought when I realized how many different papers there were in the scrapbooking world.

This is the Le Creme stack.  I love the way some of the papers have velvet on them like the square flower one on this card.  I used a sketch from January at Mojo Monday to make this one.  I thought it was fitting since I wanted to add only a sentiment as the focal image.  I used my Nestabilities to die cut the sentiment and Black Recollections mat.  I added the cream flower from my stash to finish off this simple card.

Thanks so much for joining me today.  I may be back later this afternoon with more.  Have a great day and God bless.

Maniac

Howdy.  Well, I did it.  I turned on the a/c last night.  I slept great.  It was nice and cool in the bedroom.  We still have to put the living room one in, but it's coming this weekend.

I appreciate you guys stopping by today. I have a cute card that will take you back to the 80's.  Flashdance..remember that?  Well, here ya go....

Isn't she cute?  This image and background come from The Paper Shelter.  I used the precoloured set to make this card.  I printed the background then printed another girl the same size and cut her out.  I then used pop dots to add her to the card.  I printed out a sentiment from my computer and added it behind the popped up girl.  I also cut out the boom box and added it with pop dots.  Adding some gems around the edges finished up this card.  Easy Peasy.

Thanks for stopping in today.  God bless.

White on White

Thanks for joining me for another card creation.  This one made me step outside my comfort zone and do something I don't usually do..white on white.  I love color and design so a plain card is hard for me.

To make this card I pulled out some white card stock and cut two panels.  I ran one through the Darice Butterfly Corner EF and the other through the Argyle EF.  I used my glitter gel pens to add some color to the butterflies.  I tied a piece of sheer white ribbon around the card front and added the sentiment from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  Quick, fast and sweet.  I like the way it turned out, but I don't think I'm ready to jump on the white band wagon just yet.

Thanks for stopping by this evening.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all.

Spring Fairy

It's me again.  LOL. Thanks for stopping in this morning.  I have a cute little fairy card for y'all this morning.

This little cutie is the Shamrock Fairy from Digi Darla.  I used my BIC markers and Glitter Gel Pens to add some color to her.  I fussy cut her out and after adding the elements to the card I used pop dots to add her.

The card base is made from Mint card stock from Gina K.  It measures 5.5"square.  Both of the DPs are from EK Success' Disney Line.  The flourishes and doily are from my stash.  I used three flower gems from Me and My Big Ideas.

Thanks for stopping in this morning.  I appreciate it.  Have a wonderful day.  God bless y'all.

Celebrate

Welcome to my blog today.  I hope you enjoy what you see.

The card I have for y'all today uses a set of stamps from The Stamp Man called Aspects of Design 2-Nautical.  This is the first set of stamps I have used by this designer and they leave a really crisp impression.

I don't do alot of manly cards, so sometimes I have a hard time deciding what to do, but not this time.  I knew I had the perfect stamp set for a manly card.

I began with a vanilla card stock base from Colorbok. The base measures 6" x 6".  I added a DP panel from Colorbok and a strip of DP from DCWV My Guy pack.  I stamped the images on GP White card stock  with Memento Espresso Truffle and inked them heavily with DI Vintage Photo.  I matted them onto Chocolate Chip card stock from SU.  I die cut an Olive Green (SU) circle and cut off the bottom portion of it and adhered it over top of the other elements.  I cut out the ship after coloring it with ShinHan Art marker CG 0.5 Cool Grey, Copic YR27 Tuscan Orange and Chromatix Apricot 3.  The sentiment is from Fiskars Make a Wish set and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  I added three green buttons from my stash to the patterned strip to finish off the card.

Thanks for looking at my creation.  God Bless y'all.

Playing Catch Up

Happy Monday y'all.  I hope all of y'all are ready for another week.  I am, but it's going to be a busy one.  I am really behind in my card making for last week.  I was super busy and didn't get all of my challenges done.  I think I am up to about 45 a week now.  It really helps me to stock up my stash for cards, but I am being over run.  I need to get some sold.  I probably should open an Etsy shop or put some on eBay.

I am going to post 5 cards here in this one post so that I can get them linked for the challenges.  I am going to be short and brief and just post the challenges they are for as well as the products, but not any details.  I will come back later in the week and post the details.  Sorry for being so short, but it's 3:20 am and I need to get to bed.
