Some news and a Challenge

Hi, sorry I haven't posted much lately. Last week I was scrubbing a spot on the carpet and my ring finger got caught back and I torn the tendon . It made a loud popping noise and I thought I had broke it. The doctor said not broken but a torn tendon. Now I have to wear this gorgeous (not) metal brace until I can get it repaired. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to color at all but I was able to, just a little awkward .
Now on to much better news, you may have heard that my daughter Theresa Momber made it on this years DT on Spellbinders!! I was so excited for her. Congratulations again Theresa!!! You rock!!!

Here is the card I made. This is for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #156. Beate has ask that we make a card and use some red on it. I used Flourishes stamp set "Sweet Violets" and colored with Copic's. Die is by Spellbinders and the punch is M.S. DP is by Basic Grey and card stock is GKD.



Hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

CSS -ALUMNI FEBRUARY BLOG HOP

Welcome to Stamp TV's CSS Alumni Sketch Blog Hop for February . Today's gorgeous inspiration challenge photo is provided by Karen Knegten.

For my card I was inspired by the boats and the colors. I used Gina's "Enjoy The Sunshine" and Theresa's " Aloha" stamps, both are by Gina K. Designs. Card stock and ribbon are from GKD. The images were colored with Copic's. Sponging was done with Memento on pure luxury CS by GKD.
Now doesn't this look like a place to be?

I'm also entering my card in CPS anniversary celebration, day #7.

More Challenges

Hi, today I decided to try something new. I saw this over at SCS, how to make a word card. The tutorial is by Dina Kowal and Beate has a video. The words are a free print download. Not one of my better cards but I guess it's okay for my first try, I now know not to use really heavy CS. LOL
If you are wondering why the little flower looks like it is just stuck on the lower part of the I, I kinda cut in too far and popped the flower on to cover it up!! Better than just tossing the whole thing. Right!!



I used Theresa's Purr-fectly Delightful" for the kitty and "Dogwood and Butterfly" both sets are by Gina K. Designs.
Here is a closer look of the kitty. My DH and looked at some cats last week-end, I think we are about ready for one after the loss of our beloved cat.
Sorry this really looks better in RL but just couldn't get a good photo today.


Thanks for stopping by.

Timeless Tuesday at Flourishes

Hiya, so many challenges , so little time!!! I have been having fun playing some challenges and been loving the Timeless Tuesday challenge over at Flourishes.
This week is a sketch challenge brought to you by Silki.


For my card I used Flourishes " Life, Love and Lemons". I decided to see how the lemon slices would look if I made them Orange slices instead. What do you think? I colored them with Copic's and cut them out.The DP is BoBunny.


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

A Couple of Challenges

Hiya, Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday and for a couple of of challenges.
My mom loves flowers and plants and has a really green thumb, I didn't get that from her, so I will just have to color them on paper.
This week Brenda is hosting the "Free for All Friday Challenge" over at Stamp TV. Use a flower stamp and two different shapes on our card.
Also entering this in Joan's challenge over at Joan's Gardens. To make a standard size Birthday card with pink, green and some purple. Distressed edges and some piercing.




My piercing and distressing didn't show up very well, so here a closer view. Still didn't show that well, I guess it is the dark color against the lighter back ground.


The images is from Gina's stamp set "Seeds of Kindness" and the sentiment is from Theresa's set " Mountain Wilderness" both from Gina K. Designs.
I colored the image with Copic's, the DP and card stock is Gina K. Designs. The die are Spellbinders.
Hope your day is going well and thanks for stopping by.

Timeless Tuesday #153

Hey there! This week we finally got a good snowfall and it is so beautiful and cold. Not lasting long as it has warmed up and now raining, strange weather this year. Well now you know the inspiration for this card. I made it for the Timeless Tuesday challenge over at Flourishes. Cindy is hostess this week and has ask us to make a Center Step Card. A first for me but it was fun and I will be making more of these. I just love this winter scene, the images and keyhole die are from Flourishes. I colored the images with Copic's. The DP is DCWV.



Here it is from the side.


I'm cooking chicken tonight so I better get with it. Thanks so much for stopping in.
Have a great day.

Suncatcher?

Hi, yesterday over at Joan's Garden she had a video on adding glitter using a Memory Box Die. After watching it I just had to play around with this technique. I didn't have the heart die but had recently gotten some Cheery Lynn dies, "Polynesian Sails Oval" and "Lace Rose and Flourishes" from Joan. I used only the rose portion of Rose die. Following his instructions I applied it to a piece of clear plastic. I cut out two of the oval die and glued them together with the plastic sandwiched in between. Here is the front, I'm holding it up against the wall, as I had a hard time getting a photo with the plastic reflecting the light .



This is how it looks on the back side


Joan has some awesome video's on using die's that I have been finding helpful. The photo doesn't show how really reflective the glitter is so it is much prettier in RL looks like a stained-glass suncatcher.
Had fun playing around with this instead of house work!! Thanks for looking.

Joan's Challenge

Hi there, now this is where I want to be!! This beautiful image is from Heartfelt Creations " HCPC3355" , it relaxes me just looking at it.
I made this for Joan's challenge to make a window card. Well any excuse to use my new window die!!! The die is "Grand Madison Window" I got it at Joan's Gardens.


Here are the requirements if you would like to join in the fun.

• Use a door or window or something similar
• Use an out door type of stamp
• Use a flourish
• Use either an embossing folder or embossing powder

I used the candy cane folder for my embossing, I was trying to make it look like a chair-rail, but not so sure about it. The flourish is a Cheery Lynn Lace rose and flourish. I just used part of it.
Most of the supplies for this card came from Joan's Garden.
Well time to go, thanks for stopping by.

A box of chocolate

Hi there, sorry haven't been around much I have been fighting a cold or something. But it seems to be getting much better. Today I made this box for a Timeess Tuesday #152 challenge over at Flourishes. To make a box or treat holder for Valentine treats. I didn't do hearts or flowers. This time I went with LOVE BIRDS!! Yep they are in love! I recently won this set and the Keyhole die from Flourishes and I love this sweet set. The box is empty as I need to get to the store, but I think I will put some Dove chocolate in there.


Here is a side view.



and this is the inside and as you can see it's empty, drats I could use some chocolate!


The stamp set is "Snow Wonderful" by Flourishes. I got the instruction for the box from Technique Junkies. It calls for the Top Note die, I didn't have that so went with Spellbinders.
I colored the birds with Prisma Pencils and sponged with Mementos. Not sure where the DP came from. The card stock is GKD.
Have a good night and thanks for stopping by.
