FRIDAY, March 11, 2011-Fish You Were Here
I sponged my card with SU Bashful Blue. I stamped the fish twice, colored with copic's. and cut it out. On the other stamped fish I just colored the side fins and cut them out. I paper pieced them and used pop-ups for a more 3-D look.I used Desert Sand in Memento for the sea bottom. The coral is made from M.S. branch punch , trimmed to make it look like coral. The bubbles in this card I made using a template, I made with two different sized hole punches. I then sponged with Bashful blue and added a little white gel pen for highlights. The card stock is MFP. The images are clickable for a larger view.



This card is made using pretty much the same just a different look. The bubbles I think are called rain drops. The DP is Basic Grey and card stock is MFP. I used nestabilities for the circle and the shell. Cuttlebug folder is Tiny bubbles.


Hope you can check out the fabulous samples the rest of the team has......

Thursday, February 10, 2011-Grandma's Boudoir
For my card I used Basic Grey DP. MFP card stock, using Tim Holtz mask I sponged on distress ink in Victorian Velvet and the Old Paper. The gorgeous lace and black ribbon is from Mark's Finest Papers. I left off the sentiment as I'm not sure who I'm sending it to.



For the tag I used a pre made tag from somewhere?? I don't even remember buying it!! After making the tag the same as the card above, I stamped the image and added C-1 in Copic's to enhance her hair. I used very little gold Smooch on the locket's trim. The punch is by M.S.


Be sure to check out the gorgeous samples the rest of the team has.......

WEDNESDAY, March 9, 2011-African Veldt
Hi ! I have to tell you I love this awesome set!! For my card here, I sponged the sky with Tangelo and Cantaloupe by Memento. The ground is Desert sand. I used a colored pencil to pull up some grasses in the BG. The card stock is MFP and DP is from my stash. All supplies used to complete this card is from MFP. The images are click-able for a larger view.


Here is my next project. A coaster set that I got using a 50% off coupon at Michaels. A set of four and the holder. On the back side is where you slide the photo of your choice in. The sponging was done the same as the card above. The images were colored with Prisma Pencils. Below is a photo of each one. This one is in the holder.











Wait till you see all the amazing creation the rest of the team has to show you.

Snow Photo's

Hi there! Here are a few photo's of the snow we got yesterday.
This is my DH shoveling snow.



This is on our balcony at night. Strange how the snow just draped on the railing.




Here it is this morning. The sun is shining and all is so pretty.


We lost our power yesterday for about twelve hours and what a pain that is!!

Speedy's Friends Challenge #44

Good morning!! This week's Speedy Friends challenge Joanne T. has ask us to use food of some kind on our cards or projects. I decided to use " Pears and Hollyhock" and "Blackberries, Sunflowers and Bees" by Mark's Finest Papers. On the pear I decided I wanted one that didn't have the flower in it, so I used a black marker to go around the image of what I wanted and then huffed before stamping the image. I colored it first with copic's and then used some Prisma pencils. The blackberries were colored with Copic's. The card stock is also by MFP.


Here is a close up. I was pleased with how this turned out. If you get a chance, check the rest of the team samples for even more inspiration.

Here is the new prize package:

Participate in at least 3 of the challenges for the current month,[enter as many times as you would like - must be new projects, no back dating please-] for your chance to be a Guest Designer for the following month on the MFP Sr. Design Team.

GOOD MORNING!

Good morning! Hope your week is going well!. Sorry I have been a little quite here, I have had company. We had about 18 inches of snow this week and more is expected tonight! But I saw a robin out yesterday and that's a good sign!! LOL
Today I have two cards I did for challenges. This first one is for the sketch challenge at SCS. I used Theresa Momber's new stamp set " Little Critters" by Gina K. Designs. I love this cute set so easy to color, I colored with Copic's. Used Basic Grey and GKD papers.



This card was for the sketch challenge at STV . I used Asela's Hopkins set " Winter Wings" by Gina K. Designs. I colored the image in Prisma Pencils, sponged with mementos, Basic Grey DP and GKD cardstock.


Hope you like my cards and that you have a fabulous day.
Thanks for stopping by.

Speedy's Friends Challenge #43

Hi friends, today Speedy's Friends challenge was a challenge for me, I love to color and spend a great amount of time doing it! That might why it takes me so long to make a card!!! It might be why I don't hardly make CAS cards, just don't know when to stop!! LOL.
Joanne G. wants us to make a Black and White and one other color plus paper piercing. I used Mark's Finest Papers newly released set " Big Cats". The card stock is by MFP, Aqua, black and white. I used Prisma pencils for the eyes and some shading on the Tiger.

Hope you can join us for a fun challenge and I look forward to seeing you wonderful creations!!
For more info on this challenge you can find it here.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
