MFP's Sketch with a Twist Challenge #110

Good afternoon.  Sorry I am so late posting this card.  I have had computer problems all day.  I have a laptop that I get to use from PAVCS because I am in my third year as a Parent Ambassador.  It has to be replaced, I found out, after being online and on the phone with tech support for an hour.  I don't know what the guy did, but I lost all my pictures, documents and digi stamps that were on there.  I'm not happy.

Anyway, on to MFP's Sketch with a Twist's challenge.  This week our theme is POLKA DOTS.

Here's the sketch for this week:
                                                             

and this is the stamp set one lucky winner is going to receive:
                                                                

I used a stamp set called Chinese Take Out.  I love this set.  I think it has to be one of my favorites so far.  I used monochromatic browns to create my card.  Don't ya just love those chopsticks?

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Happy Birthday to You

This is Happy Harry...

I followed the sketch for Papertake Weekly to create the card.  I have a whole shoe box full of buttons, so I pulled out six of them for this card.  The sentiment is an old sticker than I had and matted it on matching cardstock.

I used the Watch Me Grow set to create my card.  I used papers from K&Co and DCWV to create my card.

Thanks for joining me today.  Maybe we will see your creation on the blog.  Have a great day and God bless.

Twisted Tuesday Challenge

Howdy Ho Neighbors!  I'm back with one more card for tonight.  This one is for Twisted Tuesday.  I'm making it just under the wire. 

The challenge this week is A Christmas Forest.  They want to see Christmas Trees or just Trees.  I put a bit of a quirk on it.

Since I friends who live out west, I thought I would make a Christmas card for them that they could relate to.  No snow for them, so we have Cactus Trees.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Hello friends.  Thanks for joining me today.  I have another card ready.  I've been working right along this weekend to get some challenges done.  I'm caught up on my DT work, so I thought I would participate in some challenges.

I used papers from K&Co and the sentiment is from Eco Green stamps.  The butterfly is from K&Co.

Who Needs Chestnuts?

Hello there.  I was able to get another card made today.  We had an outdoor concert at church tonight and then Kierstynne had a baton twirling parade tonight.  It was pretty neat.  All of the floats were covered in twinkling lights and the girls' batons were glow batons.  It didn't start until 9:00 pm or so.  

I made a Christmas card with a cute image from Doodle Pantry called Candy Cane Ants.

These are some cute ants for sure.  I didn't like the way they had just dots for eyes so I redid them with a white gel pen and a black Zig marker.  The papers are all from My Mind's Eye.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope y'all have a great Sunday and God bless.

Good Morning again.  Thanks for joining me today.  I have another card that I created this morning.  I've been home alone since yesterday afternoon.  My husband is away on his annual guys weekend in Philly and my daughter is at her great grandmother's.   It's been so quiet.  Lots of crafting time. :)

This card is a bit out of the norm for me.  Lots of parts.  I used a pre colored image from Doodle Pantry called Potty, hence the title of this post.

In order to fit all the pieces on this card, I made it a 5x7 size.  I like the way it came out.  I did follow a sketch to create it. I also used my new paper pad, Barnwood Pretty, on this one.

Motorcycle Mania

Good Mornin' Friends.  I was able to go shopping yesterday for some new supplies. Mostly I picked up some organizing items.  I have made so many cards that I have an over abundance.  So, I bought 5  16qt. tubs to store them in.  I think I will make up sets of cards for Christmas presents this year.  I also found some really good deals at Jo Ann's.  Almost everything I bought was on sale.  I bought my first set of Gelatos today.  I used them to make my card for this post.  I also found the most beautiful paper pad at Hobby Lobby.  It's called Barnwood Pretty from the Paper Studio and I can't wait to use some of the papers.  All of the Spare Parts embellishments were on sale for 50% off.  Yep, I made out like a bandit.

I used images from Doodle Pantry called Motorcycle Mania to create my card.  I also used the Ombre Technique.

I really like the way the Gelatos work.  I used a paintbrush and water to blend the colors together.  I watched a video on Youtube that shows how you can use your fingers to blend them too.

Thank you for checking out what I created today.  Have a wonderful Saturday.  God bless.
