Stuck in Bed...

This is my first time playing along in one of The Ribbon Carosel Challenges.  I came across their blog from YNS blog, isn't it great how that works?!?!  This is my entry for RCC48 which is a sketch challenge YNS is sponsoring. 

I stamped Get Well Soon Fhiona in Memento Ink, on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I wanted to give the bed and nightstand just a tad of color, almost like a "whitewash" feel though you can barely see in the photo that it has any color at all.  Ah well.  I used a Glaze Pen on the bed posts knobs, water pitcher, glass and her headband and a Glitter Pen on all the hearts.  Pool Party, Sahara Sand and My Minds Eye Miss Caroline Howdy Doody paper.  Pool Party Ribbon, SU Linen Thread, Denami Design Button.

Thank-you for stopping by.  Have a great day!

Sending Sweet Thoughts...

I made these for the deployed spouses in my hubs squadron.  I'm a Key Spouse for his squadron, one of my duties is to check up on the deployed spouses and make sure they're doing ok while their spouse is away.  Every so often I like to send them some "Happy Mail" to let them know I'm thinking of them and that I'm here for them if they ever need anything while their spouse is deployed.

I started off stamping PI Make Mine a Double in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I used a Glaze Pen on her shoes and hearts and Stickles on the ice cream scoop.  Prismacolor Pencils and OMS for the ground and Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the edges.  Groovy Guava, Mint Melody and Cosmo Cricket Phoebe paper.  Die-Namics and Rhinestones.  My entry for this weeks MFTWSC67. 

Thank-you for stopping by.  Have a fabulous week!

Retro Birthday Wishes...

I think one of the hardest things for me is giving my posts/cards a "title".  I just sit and stare at the computer screen...blank...does anyone else have the same problem?  I don't know why I have such a issue giving my cards/posts titles but I do, lol.

Anyhow, this is for Tiddly Ink Challenge #83- Birthday Bash.  I'm using one of Christy's Digi Freebies called Ellie.  She's printed out on Neenah, colored with copics.  I did the "out of the box" technique with Nesties then added Smooch and  Crytal Lacquer to the balloons and a Glaze Pen to her.  Sahara Sand, My Mind's Eye Follow Your Heart paper.  CB Folder, SU Photo Corner Punch, Sentiment from The Cat's Pajamas.  I just came across retro sketches last night while reading my google reader,they have some fun sketches.  I used rs6 for my layout.

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

Thank-you Lynette...

Happy Easter Everyone.  I hope ya'll had a fabulous day with your loved ones.  We went to brunch at my oldest grandson Wylie's favorite place to eat, IHOP=)  I made this card for a gal in my book club, Lynette to thank her for hosting our book club meeting.  We read Memoirs of a Geisha which is one of my favorite books.  I think I've read it 3 or 4 times now.  I'm really enjoying getting back into reading, it's been so long!  I finally broke down and bought a Kindle Fire two weeks ago.  I'm reading my 3rd book on it right now...I really like the convenience of downloading and having the book at your fingertips in seconds.  I think my hubs likes that I can read in bed until 12 or 1 o'clock in the morning and not have the light on to disturb him while he sleeps.  Definitely one of my favorite things I've spent money on=) (well besides crafty stuff of course!).

I started out staming my image (sure do wish I had the MFT PI Good Fortune, it would've been perfect for this card!) with Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics and using Nesties and Die-Namics Dizzy Doily Duo.  I paper pieced her pants, shirt, pillows and book.  Sahara Sand and Basic Grey Out of Print paper.  Sentiment from SU Noteworthy Stamp set, SU Photo Corner Punch and Border Punch, Denami Design Rhinestones.  My layout is this weeks MFTWSC66.

 

Thank-you for stopping by.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Congratulations Lauren...

One of my friends, Lauren recently found out that her and her husband are expecting.  I made her this card to congratulate her.  I thought that she was having a girl with how sick she's been, so I went for more girly colors...but she announced at our book club meeting that she just found out she was having a boy=)

This is for the Bellariffic Friday Challenge which is a Sketch Challenge.  I started off stamping Bessie LuLu  in Memento Ink on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I used Prismacolor Pencils and OMS for the ground and shading on her dress and flowers.  Glaze Pen on her shoes and flowers.  Wisteria Wonder, Pear Pizzaz and MME Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks paper.  Die-Namic Rolled Flower, Rhinestone, Swiss Dot CB Folder, Denami Design Ribbon and Button, SU Linen Thread, Sentiment from Stamping Bella, leaves I hand cut.

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

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.

Fairy Sweet...

Wow, it's Monday already!?!?  My weekend just flew by!  Friday I had a book club meeting then went on a date with my sweet hubs after.  Saturday my hubs and I spent the day up in Phoenix...I suffered in the miserable heat while he went to his favorite stores (junk yards) and then he suffered in the miserable heat while I went to my favorite stores (scrapbooking stores).  We are quite the pair!



I made this for this weeks MFTWSC65...and I'm on time, yay!  I started out stamping Jolinne Fairy Sweet in Memento Ink on Neenah Cardstock, coloring with Copics then fussy cut her out.  I used Smooch on the wings and a Glaze Pen on her shoes and ribbon.  Barely Banana, Pear Pizzaz, Cosmo Cricket Tea for Two paper, SU Photo Corner Punch, and Die-Namics Dizzy Doily Duo .

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