Wish Big

Morning all. A bit late on the post this am, I totally forgot it was voting day until I was out and about! So had to make a quick stop there. This is a birthday card I made for a recent family birthday. I used the sketch from the Roses on Paper Challenge blog and this cute Magnolia image. The designer papers are all K& Company. The sentiment is from short and sweet by Stampin Up. I finished it up with some hemp twine and a corduroy button. The image is also popped up on a dimensional. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Quick weekend post

Hello! It was a gorgeous day today! It was wonderful being outside with the girls without coats, hats, boots etc!! Although it means I was cutting into craft time, so I combined some challenges. I took the colors from Whiff of Joy's lavender and lace challenge. The sketch is from the everybody art challenge. I also used some distressing and tearing to cover the ABC challenge as well as the spoonful of sugar challenge. Let me just say that I only had this one piece of purple designer paper from a mat pack, so I was a bit limited. And although I used to tear every card I made, I haven't torn anything in awhile, so I was a bit rusty!!! I colored Willow with my Copics and added some crystal effects to the rain drops. I also used so of Stampin Up's new white organza ribbon. If you don't have it, BUY IT!! It is fabulous!!! The sentiment is the one I've been using a lot lately from Best Yet. Have a great weekend, I'm off to work!!

Favorite Somethings

It's Friday, it's above freezing already and there's a fun new Stamp Something Challenge! What a great day. This week's challenge is create a project using one of your favorite somethings. Something can inspire you, like a movie or song or just use your fav. products.

I did a little of both. One of my favorite things to do with my girls is bake cookies. We bake them for every holiday. Sometimes we just avoid certain cookies that well, were tried before they were cooked......... Willow with cookies is also one of my favorite whiff of joy images, I received a few from Denise(thank you, they're awesome!!!) and knew they'd be perfect. I colored her with Copics, clearly my favorite way to color, and some new copics were used, my favorite thing to buy. The paper is me and my big mouth, which I purchased at my LSS the other day. So head on over to Stamp Something to see the favorites of the rest of the DT. Oh did I mention a NEW Whiff of Joy is up for grabs???????

Stamp ARTic Challenge

Happy Thursday! Where has this week gone?? I think it has just flown right by! I spent yesterday with friends watching the kiddos play together, so much fun!! I did forget to post for the Stamp ARTic challenge though, so here it is today. I used this stinkin cute stamp and sentiment from Whimsy and colored him in with some copics. The colors are basic gray and baja breeze along with DSP from urban garden and ski slope. I added a brad from silver HPH through the baja ribbon (boy can that crop-a-dile cut through stuff!!!) I also used my swirls CB folder. Today the last day to enter the Stamp Something challenge and win a gift certificate to buy this sweet little guy, so be sure to enter! See you tomorrow for a Stamp Something Challenge sponsored by Whiff of Joy!!

A walrus for you

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope you all had a great start to the week!! I'm just waiting for some warm air to come this way, that didn't happen today!
I made this card for the Our creative corner challenge. It was a gorgeous sketch and I had a perfect whimsy image in mind. Well at the end I switched images and paper and hardware, so it's nothing like the card I had set out to create, oh well!! I used the new sale-a-bration DSP from SU. And this cuddly whimsy walrus! The sentiment is from happy everything. I colored this big guy in with copics and added white gel pen accents. I might as well take another entry for cute card Thursday's animal challenge as well.

Bunch o challenges

This weekend I had a few quiet hours to stamp. So I inked up all my Whimsy images to out my copics and went to town. I was able to put this image to use today for a few challenges. I first used the sketch from the truly Scrumptious Challenge blog. And I think this layout is truly scrumptious, I'll definitelty be using it again. I then chose the color combo based on the blue and brown challenge over at colour create. Finally, the them this week over at Cute Card Thursday is animals and well I'm doing my Whimsy Animals DT samples so those go quite well together.

The paper is textured DSP from SU which I LOVE! Then just a felt flower, brad and some grosgrain to finish it off.

Everybody Art Challenge

This week's challenge on Everybody Art Challenge Blog is to create a pocket/bag. It is also sponsored by Denise from Whimsy Stamps. This is a one sheet wonder box. I found the tutorial on SCS. It's the same one I used for my valentine's box. I posted the link this time since I had a lot of emails looking for the tutorial. I did this box at my SAB workshops(without the whimsy bunny). I added that cute little guy when I got home:) He is popped up on dimensionals. The flowers are from sweet stems and the sentiment is from happy everything. I'm also going to go ahead and enter cute card thursday's animal challenge a second time if that's OK. I sponged the background lightly with baja breeze. I'm am going to prepare for the 18in of snow we are supposed to be getting. I officially give up, winter won this year!!! I am SO looking forward to flowers, warm weather and spring cards!!
