Hello Again!
Here's a lovely card I made. I started this card at midnight and here it is 1:41 a.m. But my dear friend Monica Reeck invited me to play along with the challenge at Card Maniac this week because she is a guest designer. So Monika, this one's for you!

The theme for the challenge is FLOWERS! So I colored with Copics on this lovely Lily Elf from AuroraWings.com. Mitzi has some really beautiful images and they are digitals you can purchase and color ASAP! I love that. I'm sort of an instant gratification gal.

Any hoo, I sure hope you like my flower entry.

Lily Pad July Card Chain Swap

For this card we had options: Color Combo of buttercut, kiwi, watermelon, teal and tangerine. I tried to use all the colors because they made such a pretty palette. A sketch which they provided and I went by as well. A theme: 4th of July, swimwear or friendship. I think my card falls into the Friendship category on this one. If you choose to play along you can SWAP your card with another cardmaker playing along, who knows, it could be ME! :O)
Deets on the SWAP can be found HERE.

Hello my friend - TSTC038

Hello my friend - Twisted Sketches Twisted Cards #038. This week's twist is "Chipboard" - any how, any way!
So I used my chipboard flower, swirlies and tag. The sentiment is a Stampin' Up! stamp from Perfect Punches set #120516. I wrote in the word Hello with my SU Real Red and Basic Black markers. The stamp was inked with Cherry Cobbler. I roughed up the surface of the tag with my emory board and then used my SU Embossing Buddy to be sure the ink would stay on. I added a lovely beaded brad and some yellow ribbon and it was D-O-N-E! :O)

I just found Twisted Sketches today on my fellow Texan friend Stephanie Castro's blog. Steph got me the gig as the post-er for PCP Cuttlebug-ers challenges. She on dt at the Christmas Card Challenges and I've been know to play along with Unscripted Sketches of which Steph is on yet another dt. She's a very talented crafty lady!

Thanks For Looking

Friend makes it easy - PPC-CC16

a friend is someone who makes it easy - PicturePerfectCreations-CraftyChallenges#16 - regal rose (pink), pacific point (ocean/turquoise blue), and sahara sand (greyish brown). I brayered with tempting turquoise, then with rose red and then I brayered along the bottom 1/3 of the cardstock with Archival Brilliance Pearlescent Beige. I masked off and daubered some tempting turquoise for my islands. Then I stamped over with some trees. I stamped some tall grasses across the bottom with the beige. I stamped some rose red flowers and finally I added a dragonfly to the sky. I highlighted with my white Signo gel pen. Stamped my sentiment and called it done.

Friend - MTSC64

Friend - Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #64.You know, I always try to keep it simple. But sometimes even I get frustrated with myself because my cards look too cluttered. But with this one, I simply didn't care! I love the birdhouses and I layered the bee hive 3D style. I punched the floral border which is a little hard to see. Still, I'm lovin' this card! PP, charm, and cream cs are all from RAKs. The image is from Dottie's World I think. It's been forever since I downloaded it so I am not sure. Brads are from Basic Grey's Granola collection. Orange cabuchon is from JoAnns. Stumpin' Up! Top Note die. The cream cardstock came with this lovely wave cut into it already. In fact, this is 1 of a set of 8.

friend - MOJO128 - using SoftPencil Prize

Got my MOJO working about 1 a.m. this morning. I was up rather late last night. Nerves I guess, today I am having a needle biopsy on my right thyroid. Freakin' the heck out. Although my doc says, most of the time these cysts are NOT cancer. It's just a scarey thing is all. Hubs, Mike will be there to hold my hand though. :O)
Anyhoo, as I said in the opening, this little Japanese Girl is from SoftPencil Digis (she was part of my prize package. I won a $10.00 gift voucher to the store and I just had to have her!) Thanks Again Elizabeth. This card was created using Julee's sketch at MOJO MONDAY #128. I think I incorporated the sketch layout in both the top and lower portions of my easle card. The other Asian stamps are from a set I purchased a while back from Pink Cat Studios (they offer both digital and rubber stamps). There are some lovely images in this set and I have hoarded them long enough. :O) The card stock is from Basic Grey's Lime Rickey paper pad. The green cardstock is Bazzill weave texture.
Here's a closer look at the lower portion of the card where I actually used the pattern cardstock and the Bazzill to create the layout.
