CSS Inspiration Challenge

Hi there! Hope you all are doing well. Sorry I haven't been around too much, I have reinjured my shoulder and having a hard time typing but I will get around to your blogs soon. It is feeling a lot better now and I finally think I know how I'm doing it!! I'm guilty of removing my bra while watching tv in the evening, by reaching behind my back and unhooking my bra. These old bones just don't bend like they once did!! Needless to say I won't be doing that any more!! This is for the inspiration challenge the CSS team did on Stamp TV.
This is the inspiration photo. The bottom right photo was the one I used for inspiration.

I tried to get a photo of it shook up but just not fast enough!! LOL

Here is what the back side of the snow globe looks like.


The stamps used:
Winter Friends, Holiday Basket and Celebrate the Season by Gina K. Designs.
The snow globe is from Michael's, I think it was $2 or $3 dollars.
Images were colored with Copic's.

Here is the link to the CSS Inspiration hop over at Stamp TV.
Have a good day and thanks for stopping by.

Farmland

Hello stamper's! Hope the week end is going well for you. It is a mild day here. I did the inspiration challenge over at SCS. IC310. I decided on this chicken plate for my inspiration.
The image is from Mark's Finest Papers "Chicken Scratch". I colored the image with Copic's.


I'm also entering this in Speedy's Friends Challenge. To use your favorite technique. My favorite is to sponge, paper piercing and cut out images and I did all three!!
Have a good one! Thanks for stopping by.

A Snowy Winter Day

Hi, I'm back today to show you another snowy Christmas card and thjis one is for a Snowy Delight challenge over at Flourishes, FLLCNOV11. I just happened to run across this and decided it would be a fun challenges as I'm really into the winter scenes these day's. So far we have had just a small amount of snow but will be sick of it in no time!! LOL. The images used are "Tree Silhouettes" and "Very Merry Christmas" both stamp sets are from Gina K. Designs. I sponged the back ground with SU Going Gray and a little Bashful Blue.


Hope you are having a great day and thanks for stopping by.

A Christmas Card

Hello! I made this card for Jennie's challenge to use scrapes, over at Stamp TV. I just received a stamp set from Gina K. Designs that I won. I used my newly acquired set Melanie's "Holiday Basket" by by GKD. I also used Melanie's "Spring Basket" and Theresa's "Very Merry Christmas" also by GKD.


Hope you are having a good week and thanks for stopping by.

A Snowy Walk in the Woods

Hi! Today is very cold and been snowing a little all day!! Good day to STAMP!!! The card today is for two challenges. The inspiration challenge over on SCS and to make a winter or fall card over at Speedy's Friends challenge. I just love this technique Selma calls a snowy background. You can find her tutorial here.


The stamps for this card are from Mark's Finest Papers. "A Walk in the Woods". The card stock is MFP and DP is Basic Grey. The corner frame is Spellbinders.
I used Tim Holtz ink and can you believe it, no coloring!!!
Hope you are enjoying your week end and thanks for stopping by.

Are You Ready For the Party?

Hi ! Yep I'm back with another card. This cute little owl image is from Mark's Finest Papers. I used the leaf die on news print cutting it out with the Cuttlebug and sponged it with Memento. I was thinking she would look cute with a hat and as didn't have a stamp hat that would fit. I drew it, I used to love to draw way back when. I colored the hat with Copic. The card stock is MFP and DP is Memory box, I think!!
The owl is from last month's release "Holly Greetings".


I entered this in SCS WT347 challenge , to use news print on our card. Also for the Cuttlebug Spot challenge.

Back soon and have a great day!!

The Tree

Hi there! I spent most of the day with DH having tests done and filling out papers for a little surgery he is having. Finally a little stamping time!! lol This card is for two challenges. The sketch challenge that Theresa has over at Stamp TV and Joan's challenge over at Joan's Garden. To follow Selma's tutorial, make a tree the main focus and add a flourish. The tutorial was a lot of fun and if you would like to try it you can find it at Selma's blog. I really liked how this turned out and will be trying more in the future.


The stamps used in my card: Theresa's set "The Giving Tree" was used for the large tree and circle design. The little deer is from "Life is Good". The background trees are from "Follow Your Dreams". All stamps are from Gina K. Designs .

Hope your week is going well and thanks for stopping by.
