Good morning! Hope today finds everyone happy and warm. My card today features another image from Janie, over at GTC's Crafty Corner. Her digi images are just the cutest! Today I used Alien Sid, he is one in a group of alien buddies that Janie has. I just love them all! I plan to use them for grandkid cards, both boy and girl.

TMITA Blog Hop Recipe Contest

My card today is for the There's Magic in the Air blog hop. ( the link will take you to Nina's blog where you will find links to her store and the design team members. ) The hop started a few days ago and finishes today. It was really a fun thing to do. To end the contest we were given a digi image and a "recipe" to make a card. For me, it was quite a challenge, as I lean more toward simple cards.
The recipe is as follows:
The card must have:
1 tag
2 textures
3 Patterned Papers
4 Ribbons
5 Brads or Buttons
Well, as you can see from my card, I didn't quite make it. I decided to post it anyway, to let Nina know that I loved the image and appreciate the opportunity to use it. I am missing 2 pattern papers and 2 ribbons. I am in my RV and have a limited supply of stamping goodies with me.......oh well, I had a good time making this card!

Thanks for stopping in today! Hope your weekend is great! God Bless!

Finally...here it is girls!

Good Morning from warm, humid Texas. We are currently just outside of Austin. We will begin moving again tomorrow, heading toward the Gulf. On to my card today....this is a card for the Sisters Challenge that I do each month. Two of my sisters and I take turns with sketches and such. It is great fun. Anyway, the idea this month was to have some stitching on the card and the layout is from Crazy4 Challenges I believe. (sorry I have lost track of which week it was :0( ). Since I am in my RV and don't have my sewing machine with me, my stitching is faux stitching. I think it ended up look pretty real, though. This is a fall card that I left blank as far as sentiment goes. Soooo girls, you can use it for anything. Cardbase is SU,as well as the layered circles, pattern paper-DCWV. I used my Cuttlebug and Small Scalloped Nestie for the green circle, white circle is cut with a Marvy Punch. The stamped image is from Clear Stamps, colored with Koh-i-noor pencils and OMS. Dew Drops are from Robin's Nest. I used my Mat Stack (SU) and paper piercer to go around the edges and then connected the dots with SU's Chocolate Chip marker.
Thanks for stopping by! God Bless.......

Challenge at Our Creative Corner

Good Evening to you. I don't usually post in the evening, but won't have time in the morning. We are heading south tomorrow. My card is for the Our Creative Corner Challenge this week. It was a color challenge, Light Pink, Hot Pink, Brown and White. (not much hot pink here....you really have to look) I have always loved the stamp set that this image comes from. It is retired Stampin' Up! I've never used it with these colors, though!
Takes some getting used to...huh. Cardbase, DSP and Scallop Edge Punch are all Stampin' Up!. Snowflake Punch-Martha Stewart, Chocolate Kiss Cardstock-Gina K, Small Scalloped Square Nestibility-Spellbinders, Small White Brads are from JoAnn's Fabric and Craft.

Crazy 4 Challenge C4C3

Good Morning! Is it feeling like fall where you are? We are beginning to get a bit of briskness in the morning. My card today has fall look to it. It is for the Crazy 4 Challenge, hop on over and check them out! My sis, Patti turned me on to them. The card base is Gina K Chocolate Kiss Pure Luxury (yummy stuff!) , layered with Old Olive (SU), which is textured with a Quikutz embossing folder and my precious Cuttlebug. Golden pattern paper is from DCWV. Twill ribbon is Stampin'Up! as is the fall tree (Lovely As a Tree) I colored it with my Koh -i-nor pencils, then used Odorless Mineral Spirits (Gina K). Brads are from JoAnn's Fabric and Craft store.
I had fun with this sketch challenge, having the layout done for you is just such an inspiration!
Have yourself a great fall day! God Bless and thanks for stopping by!

Mojo 103

Oh Happy Day to everyone......I'll try not to break out in song here! Well, even though I have been staring at the Mojo103 sketch and dreaming about it, I didn't have time until now to complete it. Pretty late, but not too late!
My card base is Gina K Luxury White (of course), the cardstock and Designer Series paper are all from Stampin' Up! (they have such GORGEOUS DSP) Stamped images are "Just So Hippy", designed by Melanie Muenchinger for Gina K. (she has some of the most AWESOME designers on her team!) I colored that cute hippo with my Kohn-i-noor pencils and then used Odorless Mineral Spirits to blend. Ribbon is some black grosgrain from Offray.
This was a fun card to make, the sketch is very versatile. Be sure and check out Julee's Mojo Monday posts each week. So much fun!
Thanks for stopping in....God Bless!

MOJO 102

Happy Wednesday to everyone! My card today is for Julee's Mojo Monday. This is sketch 102 for her! What a great talent she is! I really enjoyed doing this sketch and I liked how the card turned out. Hope you do too!
The card base is that wonderful Gina K Luxury 120 pound! (White, this time.) Pattern paper is from a DCWV stack from way back. I used my Nestibilities to cut the small scallop circle, then a Marvy punch for the plain circle. A Paper Shapers punch did the work on the corner for me. The ink used is Danube Blue from Memento-just love their ink! I find it works best on the clear stamps. Stamped images are by Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from Theresa Momber's "Happy Camper" (GKD). Small oval pearls are Martha Stewart and ribbon is from.......who know? :0)
Thanks for stopping in today! God Bless!
