Day 4 Home - CSBZN

Day 4 Home - Yesterday was a pretty good day. I got up about 8:15 a.m. and Mike changed my bandages. It went smoothly. Then Sue came by with Jaxston Cooper and we visited until it was time for her to go pick Isabella Ryan up at pre-k. I took a little nap after they left. Then I ate a small lunch. I watched some TV.
By the time Mike got home, I had managed to throw together a lasagna (no big whoop here: pre cooked noodles and Ragu from a jar. All I really had to do was cook the ground beef and I threw in some sliced pepperoni from the deli section of the supermarket. When the meat was cooked I layered with shredded cheese from the dairy section of the supermarket and threw it all in the a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes covered. Then another 10 minutes uncovered. When Mike got here, he served us each up a dish and we watched a movie.
Now to my cards. These cards were so easy! Created for my card sketch group for the March Sketch Swap at CardSketchesByZacksNana.

Ribbon - 1" Black Grosgrain with White stitching

Howdy! - LTXTS9

Ok I probably should have used the WANTED stamp on this one. But I wanted to keep it friendly as this card serves two purposes this week. It not only qualifies for my Nov. card sample for CardSketchesByZacksNana (the Nov. challenge is to use the sketch and add ribbon and brad(s) but its also a Tues-Step card for Libby's Tues Steps. The image is from Lauretta's Digital Stamps and it was SOOOOO much fun to color (I used Copics and chalks)!!! I loved it!

The dp is a scrap I had lying around and I just love the velvet swirlies, reminds me of, 'ahem' a saloon in the old west. Or maybe the curtains is a saloon girl's room. Ribbons are from i{heart}papers. The sentiment is from Deadbeat Designs. The brad is from Kaiser.

TEXAS Tues-Step & CSBZNTS14

This is my Texas Tues-Step card and my card for my CardSketchesByZacksNana Trish Davey Sunday Sketches #14. I've really been enjoying Tues-Steppin' with Libby and the rest of the Posse. I made my own bandana looking background using the Wanted Stamp set from Stampin' Up! Then I stamped my horse from the same set with Versa Mark and heat embossed. Then I inked the stamp with white and stamped over the previous image to create a shadow.
Be sure to check out the POSSE in my sidebar. If you Texas Tues-Step, we'd love to see what you create. Please go to Libby's blog and add your direct link.

Monster Wishes - June Sketch @ CardSketchedByZacksNana

Monster Wishes - to the left is the sketch and to the right is my card. I create a new sketch every month and post them to my group. Everyone in the group creates a card using my sketches. Then on or about the 12th of the month I assign partners and everybody mails their card to their partner. If you like to join my GROUP we'd love to have you. If you'd just like to play with the sketch that's fine too. Just leave your link in your comments so I can go see what you've created using my sketch.
Stamp is from Penny Black and I colored it with Copics and Stamipin' Up! ink using my aqua painter. DP is from Basic Grey and ribbon is from Cosmo Cricket.

CardSketchesByZacksNana Trish's Sunday Sketch

Hi There:
Once a month I post a sketch challenge for my group on Yahoo. But every Sunday my sweet friend, Trish Davey, from across the pond in Oz posts a sketch for my group to play with. This is the Sunday May 9 sketch and my creation using the sketch. I just purchased this Sweet Scoops stamp set from Stampin' Up! and wanted to get it inky. So I stamped my "SCOOPS" with VersaMark on colored cardstock. Then I added my minty bits to my mint choco -chip, my strawberries to my strawberries and cream and my choco chips to my choco chip cookie dough ice creams and heat embossed. My bowl is punched from some Basic Grey dp. The ribbon is ki memories and the flower is s e i . I was inspired by not only the sketch but a card I saw in the summer mini catalog from Stampin' Up!
