Foxy Reflection ( Doggie Reflection)
Now there are several things wrong with my card - 1) My sky is too dark. Michelle, remember I had that problem in class too. 2) I didn't have a small doggie. Nor did I have one that was an open detailed image like Michelle's fox. 3) My grass and water lines don't match up. I'll just pass that off as a bit of shore line between. :O) 4) My branches... you figure that one out.
All that said, I really do like it! :O)

Smile (Spring theme)- EBAC84
After I printed him 3 times I cut him into three layers. First I cut the entire image from the background and added some dimensionals on back and layered it on the first image. Then I cut just the body without his boots, legs and pond and layered that on. Below is a side view.
Next I used my CB and nesties and cut 2 tags of one size in orange pp and one in the deckled rectangle in black and one of the larger tags in black. Then it was just a matter of layering and adhering it all together.
I used my Fiskars corner punch on all 4 corners of the pp. Ribbons and chipboard are from a Keep In Touch kit. The green bits (flowers) behind my image are from Bazzill's Just the Edges cardstock strips. I thought they looked a little like froggie prints so I added them.

SoftPencil's Challenges @ PCP
SoftPencil challenges us this week to use ribbons and bow. Well, I REALLY love this ribbon. Unfortunately, I only had about 8 inches of it left. So no 'real' bow here. I used a 4.5 inch piece to go across my card. The I punched holes in my image cardstock and ran 1 piece through one side at a time and tied a knot, then I taped it down on the back. Moved across to the other side and did the same thing. So I have 3 little scraps of ribbon on this card. Now my lovely ribbon is all gone. :O(
Hope you like the card I created. Come join SoftPencil's challenge. I'd love to see what you come up with.

Pretty in Pink - SSCCCCA23
So I stamped it three times on whisper white in Fresco -Vatican Wine. Then I flipped the stamp over and inked up the outline in Encore! Ultimate Metallice Satin Rose. Then I used my Zing glitter embossing powder in pink and heat embossed the outline rose.
I used my newly learned technique of brayer-ing on the whisper white cardstock starting with Color Box Pink Pastel, then Color Box Rouge and finally lightly over the top with Fresco Vatican Wine. The label-esq stamp is from Stampin' Up and I stamped it in Stampabilites Black. My arrows were hand cut.

Cardstock - patterned and plain are from a RAK. The little flourish corners were purchased one line a LONG time ago and I just kept hoarding them. Thought they'd add a little sumpin' sumpin' to this card. My pile of chickies is from Stretch N' Bubbles. I colored the image with my Progresso Koh I Noor woodless color pencils.

Excuse me, Are you Jesus?
A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago . They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding... ALL BUT ONE !!! He paused, took a deep breath, and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned..
He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor.
He was glad he did.
The 16 year old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her, no one stopping and no one to care for her plight.
The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket.
When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, 'Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?'
She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, 'I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly.'
He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: 'Are you Jesus?'
It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.
Please share this... Sometimes we just take things for granted, when we really need to be sharing what we know..
Thanks
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. TOO MANY CHRISTIANS ARE NO LONGER FISHERS OF MEN BUT KEEPERS OF THE AQUARIUM.

A NEW LOVE AFFAIR.... JUST received this e-mail
"My mom just called and we were both like "Isn't Betty great?" We are fans ;)
Thank you so much for your support. It makes me high.
My very favorite part of this "I own my own store" thing, that I'm starting to get the hang of, is seeing what everyone dreams up. It isn't ever something that I could imagine and it's so exciting to see how my art ends and other people's art starts. If you ever get a chance, we LOVE seeing what you make with Amber Ink.
xoxo,
Amber
Because you're brilliant, not patient. "

Let's Get Jiggy! - !COWGIRL UP DIGI STAMPS
Isn't Lou just too darn cute! She was printed pale pink, then colored with Copics. The pp in the background was torn from my SU catalog that was a RAK from Stacey Schafer. I cut Lou out using my Creative Memories cutting system. Then I cut a scalloped oval (Nestie). I left it in the die and sponged some Fresco chalk dye in Vatican Wine around the inside for a shadowed effect. My sentiment is computer generated using the Curlz MT font. I just thought she looked like she was getting jiggy, sooo... :O)

Best Wishes - Caardvarks: Lacy Days
For my card I used DCWV - Mocha patterned cardstocks and Stampin' Up! cardstock. I taped pieces of cardstock together for my pattern and then cut with my Top Note. Then I punched two scalloped circles and punched hearts and dots into the edges. My laces are from my stash. The chipboard branch is from The Daily Grind. I stamped my JustRite Best Wishes onto some distressed purple Crate Paper onto which I added some purple ink smudged on top. I offset my peony Nesties and cut my tag.

Piece of Cake! - SSCCCCA21 - With a Treat!
Side view:
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)
Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..
Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.
The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!
Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT ! (this can serve 2 if you want to feel slightly more virtuous).
And why is this the most dangerous cake recipe in the world?
Because now we are all only 5 minutes away from chocolate cake at any time of the day or night!

Dear Father - CSCC70 & C4C28
Cardstock trunk, map and circles are from DCWV Travel Stack. Corners are from Thickers.
dear father stamp from Stampin' Up! Base cardstock is from JilliBean Soup - Cup of Yak. My tag was punched with a deckled square punch. Then I used my Copics E37 & E29 to distress the edges and add the aged look dots to the tag. When it's all said and done, I think I should have used the same technique on the map.
Cinema Saturday Challege #70 is Dear Franky the twist is to use a map somewhere on your project. Crazy4Challenges #28 is to make a masculine card.
