A nice sketch from Sketches:Creatively Yours

Here is my take on the sketch. :)

Mojo Monday

Another fun sketch from Mojo Monday.

I love this card shape.  I made a card with this shape at a card class

that I recently attended and knew that I would be making more. :)

My card base is white .... I used lots of ink to get it the color I wanted.

Here is my take on the challenge. :) The colors are more vibrant IRL. 

I always seem to get a washed out looking picture.

Mojo Monday Sketch challenge

Another great sketch from Mojo Monday.  The picture is washed out looking. :(

I am finding it very hard to get a decent picture of cards.

Here is my take on the sketch which I flipped upside down

for my layout.  

Mojo Monday Contest

My entry for the Mojo Monday card contest.

I find it very hard to get a good picture of "sparkle". I used

stickles on the inside of the flower and on the butterfly. I also

used my copics to color in the butterfly.  I even hauled out my paper

piercing tool and poked holes around the edge of the card. :)

My entry for a sketch contest posted at PageMaps.   A fun sketch so I decided to use some

First Layout of 2013!!!

I really hope to get more layouts done this year.

Last year was not a productive year for me with

scrapbooking.  I am so far behind. :( 

birthday card

Another awesome sketch from MojoMonday. I am

really liking their sketches. :)

This one is a birthday card for my best friend.

Another card :)

Another fun sketch from MojoMonday. I really like this one and

will probably use it again since I am not overly happy with this

card.

Mojo monday 239

Another fun sketch from Mojo Monday. I love the round cards.

I really need to purchase the die cut to make them.

Help that I didn't need.  LOL

I finally used some BG June Bug paper. And of course glitter.

I love my two new stamps from Make It Crafty.

Whimsical mushroom and Vixie.

This is the new card sketch, for this week.

Another one that I really like. This card is for my

mother. :)  I actually hauled out my cuttlebug and

embossed the background image then went over

it with ink.  I used watercolor pencils for the rose.

There is some glitter on the rose and butterflies but

it's hard to tell in the picture.

This was last weeks card challenge. I really like this sketch.

Makes a fun birthday card. :)

A little break ....

Spent a few hours this morning at my scrap table. Yay!

Got two cards made but need to make more. April is a

busy birthday month for my family. So hopefully,

I will have some more cards to post in the next week or so.

Another busy weekend of renovations ahead. But we are getting

closer. :)

Birthday cards

Finally took some time to sit at my scrap table. I needed to make

two birthday cards.

Been too long ....

Once again it's been too long since I have posted on my blog.

I really need to try and start posting more often.

Anyhoo, here are my cards for this year.

I LOVE this Santa stamp. It belongs to a friend who I only get to see

occassionally. Sadly, when I borrowed her stamp at a crop, I only

stamped a few images. Now I am wishing I had stamped more. :(

I will be keeping a eye out for this stamp to add to my collection.

Mother's Day & card sketch challenge

I came across this post and loved the idea of the handmade

flowers. So I decided to give it a try. I made a few flowers

using the technique they posted and then made a few from

a different technique. (Which is basically circles shaped into petals.

I used a Classico Alfredo sauce jar, luckily I had two, and put

raffia inside. I found some mahogony colored raffia at the

dollarstore which is also where I got the tiny dowels that I glued

the flowers on. I just used a ink pad to color them green.

I made and added pinwheels just to have a little something else

in there. :)

The cards I made are based on a card sketch posted by Gloria.

I used the same color papers and made similar flowers for on the

cards just so it all matches. :)

These are for my Mom and Aaron's Mom for Mother's Day.
