I followed your scent...

I thought it would be fun to make my daughter and girlfriends some cards for our night out to see Breaking Dawn.  I made this card for my daughter, she is "Team Jacob" and I am "Team Edward"=)

I once again was able to combine three challenges=)  I did Monday Funday #7 Twi-Color Combo Challenge again.  I used SSSC143 and this is my entry for EP FB Holiday Project Challenge. 

I started out stamping Edward with Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with my Copics.  Cherry Cobbler, Black, White, EP Happy Days and EP Holly Jolly Christmas Paper. Fiskars Punch and the "sentiment" is computer generated=) 

I hope all of you have a great Wednesday.  I have a spouse's meeting tonight, we're going to a Mongolian BBQ place for dinner.  I'm looking forward to it...yummy!

 



Team Edward...

I'm not a huge Twilight fan, but got this image from The Greeting Farm a long time ago because I liked his preppy look.  I had no idea it was "Edward" and that I'd end up watching the Twilight series with my daughter (just 2 weeks ago) and that I'd be "Team Edward", lol.  I'll be off to see the movie late Thursday night with my daughter and a couple of my girlfriends so I thought I'd make a couple of cards for the occassion=)

My card ends up doing triple duty as far as challenges goes, that rarely happens for me.  First it's for the Monday Funday #7 Twi-Color Combo Challenge at TGF.  I used Card Patterns Sketch 141 and I'll be uploading my card to Echo Park Paper's FB Holiday Project Contest- to use "Season's Greetings", "Holly Jolly Christmas", or Dot's and Stripes Christmas".  I started out stamping Edward in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I over saturated his shoes, making a huge mess when I tried to clean it up so I cut him out.  In the end it worked out perfect for this sketch.  I stamped Team and Edward with and old CTMH Private Eye-Tiny Set.  I used Banner Day Die-namics, Silver Cord, Black Rhinestones, SU Photo Corner Punch, Black, White and Holly Jolly Christmas Paper.

Thank-you so much for stopping by, I hope you're having a great day!

Monograms for Aquila...

I made a set of a dozen of these Monogram Cards for my neighbor and friend Aquila.  Her birthday was a couple days ago but we're meeting up for lunch today so I wanted to give them to her then. 
This is my favorite go to sketch for making Monogram Cards, it's very quick and simple.  I used some older SU DSP, Pretty in Pink, Barely Banana, Chocolate Satin Ribbon, SU Punches, Chocolate Chip Ink and Justrite Stampers.
Is anyone going to see Breaking Dawn?  I'm going with my daughter and a couple of my friends.  I watched all the movies a couple weeks ago so I'd be caught up and clued in=)
Thank-you for stopping by, have a great week!



Patriotic Peppermint Bark...

So, I did "Tanya Math" (term used in my house every time I make a mathematical error) for the Halloween Bark I made for my Physical Therapists=(  I miscounted and left one of the PT's out.  He was prior Air Force so I made it up to him today by bringing him in a huge bag of Patriotic Peppermint Bark=)  I added some of those melt in your mouth peppermint candies and red, white, and blue sprinkles.  Just a quick and simple little tag made with Patriotic Chickie, SU Punches, and some Denami Ribbon.

I saw this "photo" going around fb and it is one of my favorite descriptions on what a "Veteran" is.

A couple weeks ago my hubs met me and our grandboys for dinner right after he got off of work so he was still in uniform.  I was walking slightly ahead of him with our older grandson Wylie and my hubs was a little ways behind holding our youngest grandson Connor.  I hear a ladies voice from the bar area say, "Hey Soldier...thank-you for your service!  I appreciate it".  It really touched my heart and means so much to our service men and women.  I hope you all have had a nice Veterans Day and have had a chance to thank the Veterans in your life as well as any you may have come across today.  A special thank-you to my Dad, Grandfather-in-law, Step dad, and BFF Angie, may they all be resting in peace.  Thank-you to my sweet hubs who has provided our family a wonderful life through his time and service in the Air Force...I enjoy being a Military Wife=)

Thank-you so much for stopping by, enjoy your weekend. 



Service and Sacrifice...

This is the first time that I've made Vetrans Day Cards.  I made 25 of them for my hubs troops, just wanted to thank them for their service and sacrifice and wish them a Happy Vetrans Day.  I used Card Patterns 140 for my layout, keeping things very clean and simple.  I started out stamping Flag Chickie in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  SU Punches to crop him out.  Sentiment is from SU Silhouette Sentiments. I stamped Shooting Star in VersaMark Dazzle on Very Vanilla (hard to see in pic but gives a nice shimmery effect).  SU Scallop Punch for the Night of Navy layer.  Baroque Burgundy and Denami Design Buttons.  Inside I stamped, "Thanks for your dedicated SERVICE and SACRIFICE."   

Thank-you for stopping by.   

Santa's Clothes...

Last year I participated for most of the year in Sparkle's Christmas Card Challenge, however this year I have slacked terribly.  I'm not sure I will be able send out homemade cards at this point=( 

Anyhow this is my entry for SCCC48 which is to use Liquid Applique.  It's also my entry for this weeks Bellarific Friday Challenge, to use Snow on your card.  I loved Clean & Simple Stamping Sketch 164 so much I used it again for my card. 

I stamped Santa's Clothes a Dryin' in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with my copics.  I outlined the image with a glitter pen.  I used Liquid Applique on the Snowflake, Santa Hat and Pants and made some Snow on the ground.  I sprinkled the Liquid Applique with Glamour Dust then heated it to make it puff up.  Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake cardstock, A Muse Sentiment, Button and Linen Thread.

I hope you all have a great weekend!  Thanks for stopping by.

My Lil' Pumpkin...

So, I purchased my very first digital stamp!  I could never get them to print on Neenah so I wasn't too fond of them.  The ladies over at the SCS TGF Forum gave me (well my hubs) great advice and wha~la...out came Hallo Pumpkin on Neenah Cardstock!  Can you say Happy Dance!!!  My grandson Connor was a Pumpkin for Halloween and I really wanted to make him a card with this image.  Yes, a day late...but he doesn't know that;)
This is my entry for Monday Funday.  I used Card Patterns 139.  Pumpkin Pie, MME, SU DSP, Sentiment from Happy Fall set.

My youngest grandson Connor, He was 14 months on Halloween.  He's such a sweet and gentle lil' guy. 

My oldest grandson Wylie.  He's 2 1/2.  He is such a character.  He was so sweet last night, he'd ask if he could have a piece of candy for Connor.  He'd take 1 piece, say, "Thank-you" then go running to Poppa who had Connor in the stroller and toss the candy in Connor's pumpkin.  It was so sweet=)  The boys were so good and had so much fun. 

Thank-you so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great rest of your week!
