Happy Retirement Major Stelling!!!

Another one of my hubs co-workers is retiring tomorrow.  Major Stelling is such a sweet lady and so excited to retire and just be a mommy to her children.  I know she will enjoy being a stay at home mom=)  This is the card I made for her to celebrate her special day...

I won this super cute digital image, Lollipop Independence Julie a few months ago from BLD.  I printed a sheet full of her on Neenah paper as soon as I won her so the ink had time to settle and dry.  I'm happy to say I had no issues with the smearing or bleeding, yay!  Anyhow,  I colored her with Copics.  I added a Glitter Pen to the American Flag and the white bits in her dress and a Glaze Pen to her shoes.  Riding Hood Red and MME American Made Paper, Nesties, Die-namics Stacking Stars, and SU Photo Corner Punch.  My sentiment is from the MFT set Big Greetings.  I used this month's SFYTT.  This is my first time playing along in a challenge with the gals at The Pink Elephant.  This weeks TPE151 is to use Vibrant colors.  My hubs and I debated back and forth whether this was considered "Vibrant" for the challenge, he was thinking it was more "Bold"...humph.  Ah well, I'll give it a go...

May Flowers...

I didn't realize Blogger changed until I logged in this morning and saw that the card I had prescheduled to post on Saturday didn't post=(  Apparently they changed their format in the middle of me making that post.  My fingers are crossed this transition goes smoothly because I am not a tech savvy gal!  Anyhow, I have another birthday coming up that I needed to make a card for=)

And apparently the transition didn't go too well, lol...note to self, whatever you just did, don't do it again, or your post will post if you are ready or not=(  Sorry about that guys!

Anyhow...I made this for this weeks BLD29 which is a Sketch Challenge.  It's also for this weeks Bellariffic Friday Challenge, which is Flowers.  I used Pookie Lollipop, stamped her in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I shaded with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.  Melon Mambo cardstock, Denami Design Ribbon, CB Folder and Nesties.  Very Clean and Simple.

Thank-you for stopping by!  Have a great week!



Friends Rain or Shine...

This is for my customer and good friend Lindsey.  She asked me to make a card with an umbrella, using the color combo yellow, purple, and green.  I hope she likes it and I hope the friend she's sending it to likes it as well=) 

Ella's Umbrella is a digital image from BLD.  I just love that big umbrella and lil' frog!  She's printed out on Neenah, colored with Copics.  I used Crystal Lacquer on her umbrella and rainboots.  A Glaze Pen on the rain puddle and metal on the umbrella.  Barely Banana, Certainly Celery, BG Kioshi paper.  Denami Design Ribbon, SU Border Punch, Button, and Twine.  My entry for BLD27.

Thank-you so much for stopping by.  Have a great night!



Spring Sophie...

I've only played along in one other inspiration challenge before.  I'm not usually drawn to them because I don't feel I do well with them, but knew I had to play along when I saw BLD26. 

I won this Lollipop Sophie digital image many months ago when I played along in my first BLD Challenge.  My hubs took Lollipop Sophie and flipped her to make two side by side and printed her on Neenah.  Even tho these were printed weeks ago, I had to be careful when I was coloring with my Copics, the ink was bleeding just a tad.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and OMS for shading on the dresses, hair bows, and the ground.  Cath has been doing the "out of the box" technique lately and I just love how it looks on her cards.  I've done this technique once before with not such great success...so, I thought I would give it another try...and I'm happy with the way it turned out=)  Thank-you Cath for the inspiration!  I used Gina K's Pure Luxury White for my card base, EP Dots & Stripes Candy Shoppe and EP Dots & Stripes Metropolitan paper.  Nesties, SU Border Punch, Denami Design Ribbon, Twine, and a Button.  My layout is SSSC154.

Thank-you so much for stopping by.  Have a great night!



Prayers...For You...

The "should have beens" and the reality of this past weekend just breaks my heart.  My friend was getting ready to celebrate her first child's 1st birthday over the weekend.  She sent us a reminder email on Tuesday, on Wednesday she had to cancel the party.  She was admitted into the hospital Thursday, her baby girl turned 1 on Friday.  Saturday she started chemo for Acute Leukemia, the day she was to celebrate her sweet baby girl's 1st birthday.  This was all unexpected to my friend, please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.               I'm entering my card into this weeks BLDC15 and MOJO189 challenges.  I used Momento Ink, Copics, Neenah, Cameo Coral, Blushing Bride, Chocolate Chip, and Garden Party Cardstock.  Nesties, Die-namics, Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Die, SU Silver Cord.  The sentiment is from Verve Stamps So Happy Set.

Thank-you for stopping by.
