Melonheadz Monday Challenge

Good Morning.  Welcome back to my little piece of cyber space.  I'm so glad you chose to join me along my journey.  

Today is my first posting as a Melonheadz Designer.  I'm so excited.  I love Nikki's designs and have been using them for a while.  If you haven't checked out our site yet, please do by clicking HERE.  Every two weeks we have another challenge with a great theme. This challenge's theme is Mother's Day/For a Special Lady.  I used the Mother's Day 2011 bundle to create my card.

I think this is such a sweet image.  I used Spectrum Noir pens to add the color to this image.  I used BGR1 to highlight the image before trimming it and rounding the corners.  I matted it onto Black card stock from Recollections.  The sentiment is from the same bundle and I also rounded the corners and matted it onto the black card stock.

I found these two DPs in my blue stash bin and thought they matched pretty well with the image.  I am going to give this to my MIL for Mother's Day and she isn't a frilly girly girl, so I liked the simpleness of this card.   I used a Fiskars Border Punch to  die cut the Turquoise strip of card stock (Recollections).  The card base is a nice Yellow from Recollections and is 6" square.  I added two little flowers that I had in my stash to finish the card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all and have a great Monday.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Welcome.  So happy to see y'all again.  I hope you enjoy your visit.

This card features Scripture Word Art from Dee's Bugaboo Boutique.  

I began by printing out the sentiment on GP card stock.  I trimmed it down and matted it on a marbled blue card stock that used to be a pocket in a bill paying folder.  I made a 5" square card base from Yellow card stock from Recollections.  I trimmed down a blue cloud DP from Colorbok as the background.  I cut a strip of flower paper and used a Fiskars scalloped border punch on it.  I cut a thin strip of the same yellow card stock for the "ribbon" trim.  I used the same flower DP for the panel and matted it on the yellow card stock.  Adding the little daisy flower finished off the card.

Thank you so much for visiting me today.  Come back soon! God bless y'all.

Dancing in the Rain

Welcome back friends.  I have another card for you tonight.  I chose a cute bear image from QKR Stampede to make this card.  

After coloring him with Spectrum Noir, I cut him out and used pop dots to adhere him.

I made the card base from Yellow Recollections card stock.  The DP is from Colorbok and ATD.  I used Fiskars Zings for the raindrops.  These are normally for cell phones, iPods, etc. but they work great for cards and scrapbooks too.  

I couldn't think of a good sentiment nor could I find one in my files, so I will put a sentiment on the inside.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like this little bear.  God bless y'all.
