Daddy's Girl

Welcome back to my little spot in the cyber world.  I hope y'all are having a good day.  It's not too dang hot here today so I'm happy.  They are talking in the mid 50's for the next few days.  Go figure.  Crazy weather.

The card I have to show today uses a cute little beastie from Dearie Dolls.  Mary Ellen has some adorable images on her blog and the best part..they are all FREE!!  Don't ya just love free?

This little girl is colored with BIC Markers and Glitter Pens.  I tried to make her skin look scaly, but it didn't come out like I envisioned.  She is matted on a panel of Hot Pink from Recollections and a Lime Green from Recollections.  I used a Fiskars Scalloped Border Punch for the Green layer.  The DP's are from Colorbok's Bright Collection.  I added a piece of Offray Yellow Ribbon to finish off the card.

Thanks again for stopping in.  Have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Happy Happy

Howdy y'all.  Welcome back for another peek at my creations.  This card uses a beautiful image from Anne Fenton.  She's so very talented.  I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and colored her with Spectrum Noir Pens.

She's all spiffied up and ready to party.  Nothing says hot like that little red dress.  And I love the fact that this woman isn't skinny and bony.  Not all of us are model thin.  I have some meat on my bones and like to see images that I can relate to.

I started with a black card base (Recollections) and added a layer of black, red and white striped DP from DCWV.  I did follow a sketch from Mojo Monday for this card. All of the DP is from DCWV and the black and red used for matting is from Recollections.  I printed out the sentiment from Annie's Little Footprints and cut it out with a 2" circle punch.  I did use my Nestabilities for the scalloped mats on both circles.

I added lots and lots of pearls after running the large striped circle through the D'vine Swirls EF.  I love pearls.  So classy.

Thanks for looking today.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.

Friends are Forever

Hiya friends.  Welcome back.  I have a card for y'all today that  uses a Dustin Pike image.  I changed it up a bit.  Usually the Dudley images are manly, but I would like y'all to meet Dudletta...

This is Dudley's twin sister.  I used this cute little image from the Dudley collection and made "her" pink and sparkly.  I used my Chromatix for this one.  For the sky I used three different Distress Inks..Tumbled Glass, Wild Honey, and Tattered Rose.  I inked the edges just a bit with Vintage Photo.  I matted Dudletta on a panel of Chocolate Chip card stock (SU) and then on a panel of Pink (Recollections)  I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch for this week to make this card.  The card base is also Chocolate Chip.  The DP is from SEI Chocolat collection.  I used a Fiskars border punch for the green border and the sentiment is from a Fiskars set called All Year Cheer.  I used a Fiskars small scallop oval punch for the sentiment.  Adding some green pearls from Queen and Co. finished off the card.

Thanks for stopping in tonight and I hope you enjoyed meeting Dudletta.  God bless y'all.

Love

Howdy there friends.  Welcome back.  It's nice to see ya.  I have a very simple, cute, small card for ya tonight.

This one is another CAS card.  Wow..two in one night.  Can you believe it?  I started this little card with a Basic Black (SU) card base which measures 4.25" square.  I added a panel of black and red striped DP to the bottom of the card.  The sentiment, which was printed on Neenah card stock, is from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  I love her work.  She has tons and tons of Scripture word art..and the best part..it's free.  She does an amazing job.  I took a red Chromatix pen and colored the word LOVE.  I matted the sentiment on a panel of black card stock and added it to the card.  I used a Nestabilities circle die to cut the circle out of DCWV DP.  I added the circle and then a cute little black bow which I did some pen work on with a white gel pen.  I added faux stitching around the edges to finish it up.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me tonight.  God bless y'all.

Congratulations

Hello there friends.  I was home alone tonight as my sweet daughter spent the night at her BFFs house.  So, I spent the entire evening crafting.  It was so nice. I got quite a few cards done so I'm going to share them with you tonight.

This first card is a very simple card.  I started with a 5.5" x 5.5" card base from SU (Pretty in Pink).  I layered a panel of Mint Green from Recollections and then a panel of DP from DCWV.  I then layered a strip of Old Olive (SU) card stock towards the bottom.  I printed out a sentiment from Doodle Pantry and adhered that onto the card.  The two roses are from Prima.

Thanks for stopping by tonight.  I pray you all have a wonderful night.

Thinking of You Butterflies

Welcome again.  I am so happy y'all stopped in tonight.  I hope you are enjoying your Friday night.  It's very quiet here...hubby at work, Kierstynne at grandma's.  I'm loving it.

The card I have for you uses elements from a HOTP  card maker's set that I have had hidden in my stash for about two years.  I want to use up my older stuff so that I can buy more..Don't we all feel that way?

I used shades of reddish-purple for this card.

I cut out all the elements except the sentiment (Tami Mayberry Faithful Florals) panel. I inked all the edges with Vintage Photo DI.   The striped DP is from Vintage Plum and the Polka Dots are from DCWV.  I used a white gel pen to add some faux stitching around the edges.  For two of the butterflies, I used pop dots to give the card a bit of dimension.

Thanks for stopping in to check out my latest card.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.

Good Evening friends.  At least it's evening here in NE PA.  It's cold too.  No temperatures higher than 25 for the weekend.  Man, I'm ready for some warmer weather.  Not hot mind ya, but warmer.

The card I have for y'all today uses the same DP (DCWV Glam Girl) and color scheme as the previous one.  I just love that DP.

I started with a 6" square card base from Gina K.  Each layer is 1/4" smaller than the first.  I used a beautiful shade of purple, but for some reason it looks blueish in the picture.  The Purple, Turquoise and Pink card stocks are from Recollections.  The white is Gina K heavy base weight and layering weight white.  The cute girl image is from Cuddlebug Cuties.  She has some of the most gorgeous girl digis.  Jump over and check her out when y'all have a chance.  She blesses us with free ones every now and again.  I colored the image with my colored pencils and OMS.  I cut her out and used pop dots for dimension.  The sentiment stamp is from TCP and I used my Nestabilities to die cut the sentiment and the scalloped circle.  I added some gems to finish off the card.  

I followed the Mojo Monday Sketch for this week and after I put the card together, I realized I should have made the white panel a little smaller so that the banner strips showed better.  They are there, but at the bottom and only the tails show.

Thanks for stoppin' in today and I hope y'all have a blessed day.

Mojo Monday--Sketch #278

Mojo Monday #277

I have come to the conclusion that I just love the Mojo Monday site.  They have some very talented ladies over there who come up with these wonderful sketches.  If you haven't already checked them out, I suggest that you do.  You won't regret it!

Today's card is a very CAS card that follows Sketch 277 on the Mojo blog.  I wasn't sure what I was doing to do when I saw the sketch.  CAS isn't one of my strong suits, but I have been trying to get them right.  I think I did OK with this one.

I used a piece of paper from Studio G's Valentine's line that they had out last year.  Yep, still trying to use up all my old stuff.  I cut it down to 2"x2.5"  I made sure to get the butterfly on the piece.  The stamp set is a little Valentine's/Love stamp from Studio G that I got at AC Moore last year.  I stamped in Classic Red by TCP.  I matted the image on a piece of dark red card stock from Recollections.  The mat is 2.25"x2.75".  I adhered them to the middle of the white card base which is from SU.  For embellishments, I added two red buttons and a pink one with glue dots.  I found this flower in the bottom of my stash pile of flowers and loved the way it looked.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  Stay tuned for some new challenge blogs and new cards.  Thank you and God bless you.

Mojo Monday #276

Welcome back friends.  Today's card is for this week's sketch.  I turned the sketch and in order to fit my image, I enlarged the card a little bit.  It's an odd size card,  4" x 6.5".  The image is a Digi Darla stamp that I colored in with my colored pencils and OMS.  I used a glitter gel pen to color in the stars and curly Q's.

The sentiment is a freebie that I found online.  One of these days I will remember to write down the designer when I print them out.  I have them all saved on my computer by illustrators, but do you think I could find it..nnnoooo.  When I do, I will come back and update this post to give proper credit.  I matted the sentiment on a piece of Gold card stock from Gina K.  The same Gold card stock is behind the focal image.  The blue star DP is from DCWV.  I used the Fiskar's Scalloped Border Punch to do the navy blue card stock and the white card stock, both by Colorbok.  I used a white gel pen to add faux stitched on the navy blue.  I used pop dots on both the sentiment and the image, which was cut using Spellbinders Classic Circles Large.  Both are also inked with TCP Silver ink.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you all have a blessed day.
