Here is my take on the challenge.  I rotated the sketch and my round element is a picture of Mom's birthday cake. :)  Well, the one I made her as she received two cakes. :) LOL

Here is my card for the challenge.  I used a combination of watercolor pencils and

Sparkle and Glitter challenge

May Freebie Contest at Sparkle and Glitter.  I love this image, perfect for a Mother's

Day card. :)  The image is free and you can win some free digi images.  :) Check out their blog

for all the details and requirements.  The contest closes May 24, still lots of time to check it

out and play along. :)  This months image is "Paris Hi Fashion Hat lady".  

Here is my card using the image. I wanted to keep it simple but

elegant so I went with a black and white theme for colors. I added a 

feather to the hat that covers the feather in the image.  I also added some

gems for her ear rings and stickles for the buttons on her collar and 

of course a ribbon bow. :) 

I used a copic liner pen to darken some of them lines on the image

to make it stand out more.

Here is my entry. I used BG papers and brads. The paw prints 

are CM stickers. While looking through my "recyclable" treasures

I found these two clothing tags which I thought fit this layout perfectly.

Sweet Pea Stamps Challenge

Sweet Peas Stamp Challenge

How would you like to win a $50 gift card to our online store???

Here is how:

I would like to promote our stamps to the scrapbookers out there, our stamps are very versatile and I would like to show them off in a scrapbook page layout.

What you need to do:

Create a layout, 12" x 12", using Sweet Pea Stamps as the main focal image (no other stamp companies can be used). You may use stickers for texts and diecuts or computer generated 

sentiments. You must include photos in your layouts.
You may submit up to 3 layouts per person

Here is my entry using the digi image Owl Hearts.

(Perfect for this layout)  :) 

A close up, hard to get a good picture of the stickles that I added.

Mojo Monday card sketch challenge

Another fun Mojo Monday sketch. :)

Here is my take on the sketch.  The mushroom and fairy

are two separate stamps. I colored them with copics and

cut them out, sitting the fairy on the little mushroom. :)

Of course, I added some stickles. :)

Sketches:Creatively Yours challenge

A new sketch at Sketches:Creatively Yours

A wonderful sketch and the inspiration for this weeks

challenge is a music theme.

 

Here is my take on the challenge. I used music notes paper and made a 

strip at the top of the page and used a butterfly punch for some

butterflies.  The title I cut out by hand from a stencil. :)

Mojo Monday card sketch

Love this weeks sketch from Mojo Monday.

Here is my take on the sketch. The stamp I used is from

Close To My Heart. The PP is from a BG page kit.

Sketches:Creatively Yours Challenge

A new sketch and challenge at Sketches:Creatively Yours.

The challenge is to use pattern and texture and inspiration

from the provided photo. :)

Here is my take on the challenge.  I used a paper doily and put a die cut on top of it.

I also put some green stickles on the butterfly. Of all the letters I have in my

stash I couldn't find any that I wanted to use. :O  So, I wrote the title out

by hand and added some stickles to it. :)

Mojo Monday Card Sketch Challenge

Another fun sketch. And perfect for a little boys birthday card

which I needed for the weekend. :)

Page Maps Sketch Contest

My Mind's Eye Sketch contest at Page Maps.

Here is my take on the sketch. 

I dusted off my CM hexagon punch, which I am glad that 

I did. :)  And used my cuttlebug again to cut the Tim Holtz

heart with wings die cut.  

I am quite happy with how it turned out. :)

Trying to change my blog .... now to figure out how to get my title in the header????

Mojo Monday card sketch challenge

Here is my take on this weeks card sketch at Mojo Monday.

I used my cuttlebug and embossed the background image and added

some ink.  Also added some black stickles. :)

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. :)
