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.

Hello Guys.  How is everyone today?  I guess if you are reading this, your eyes are still intact and working properly after the previous post.  HE HE   This one will not be as long.  Only one card to showcase today.

This one is for two different challenges.  The monthly challenge over on Beccy's Place.  You still have 10 days to enter this challenge.  You must use one of her images, but she does have quite a few for free.   And the second challenge is Sketch Saturday.  

I used my colored pencils and OMS for this image from Beccy Muir.  Isn't she cute?  She reminds me of a little Southern Belle out for a Summer stroll.  That little pinafore dress is adorable.   The sentiment is from Dessert Diva.  I used Memento Dandelion to ink all the edges of the focal image and the sentiment.  I matted them on  Cornflower Blue by Colorbok.  The DP is from my stash and I wish I knew who made it and how to get some more.  I just love that cloud design.  I used pop dots on the sentiment.  The die cut strip I received in a swap and don't know if was made from a die, a punch or a die cut machine, but I like it and thought it fit perfectly here.  The two sunflowers I found in my stash.   The card base is Navy Blue from SU.

I sure hope you all enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it.  I sure hope you all are having a great week and I will you blessings.

Let it Snow

Good Morning crafty friends.  How is everyone today?  I have a cute card for you today.

For this card, I used an image from Anne's Stamps 4U by Anne Fenton.  Anne is also one of our sketch artists over on the Outlawz Challenge site which can be found HERE.  She is a very talented artist.  I used my colored pencils and OMS for this image.  I cut the image to 3.5"x3.5" and inked the edges with a light blue from Cat's Eye.  I cut a panel from True Blue card stock from Recollections that measures 3.75"x3.75" and matted it a little wonky.  The DP is a Christmas pattern from DCWV cut to 4"x5.25".   The sentiment is from Dessert Diva.  I printed it out on GP White 110# card stock and trimmed it down to fit the card.  I inked it with the same color blue from Cat's Eye  I attached it to the bottom right corner.  I used Whisper White card stock from SU for the card base.

I used four snowflake cutouts that I received from my precious friend, Jan, who has just moved into the blogging world a couple months ago.  Go check out her blog HERE.  She is an amazing card artist and also does a devotions page attached to her blog.  I took those snowflakes and ran them through my Xyron and then dipped them in white glitter.  I used pop dots to adhere the ones on the image and a glue dot to form the O in snow.  The left bottom was a little bare, so I added three dark blue gems to finish off the card.

I am entering this card into three challenges: Shopping Our Stash.  This is the first card I am entering on the challenge site.  The theme for #85 is Suits Me to a T.  We are required to use two items from our stash that begin with the letter "T".  I chose True Blue card stock and Tube as in snow tube.  Through the Craft Room Door has an anything goes challenge.   Also, QKR Stampede whose theme is #22 Cold and Frosty.  I do believe this cutie qualifies for cold and frosty, don't you?

Thanks for stopping in and taking the time to look at my creation.  I truly appreciate it.  Have a great day and God bless you all.
