And here is my card:

I made made the sketch into a square and tweaked the size of the image panel a little to fit my image.  My card base and mats are SU Primrose Petals and the patterned papers are from the Crate Paper Fourteen and My Mind's Eye Love Me 6x6 pads.  The adorable stamp is Joyride by Penny Black.  This is a "new-to-me" stamp that I won in a challenge awhile back.  I stamped it on MiC Blending Card and colored it with my Copics.  I added some Glossy Accents to the headlight and windshield.   A heart punched from swirly glitter paper finished my card.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope your new year is off to a great start!  Here we are at the end of the first week already!  My thoughts are with all of my many family and friends in the Northeast.  I hope everyone stays in and stays safe from the huge Winter storm.  What a way to start the year!  Anyway, I am here with my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is " something new".  This can be new beginning, new baby, new home, new crafty toys, anything new.  Just remember you must have coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is my card:

I went with a new Mom theme for someone I know who just found out she is pregnant.  My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Bundle of Joy Girl 6x6 pad.  The cute image is Ice Cream & Pickles by Saturated Canary for Little Darling Rubber Stamps.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few safety pin brads from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Little Miss Muffet - Super Saturday

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  It's going to be rainy all weekend, so it will be a good time to catch up on things and take stock of what's left to do to get ready for the holidays.  First things first.  I am here to share my DT project for this week's Super Saturday post on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  We have a freebie, a $1 digi, a spotlighted stamp at a reduced price and as always, inspiration from the Little Misses for all of them.

The freebie is Palm Tree and the $1 digi is Christmas Palm Tree.  They are so fun!  I didn't have a chance to use them, but I did make a card with one of the spotlighted stamps, Eleanor May Hatter.  Hatter Hats and Hatter Hat Stands are also spotlighted.

My card base and mats are SU Real Red and the patterned papers are from the Recollections Bright Christmas 6x6 pad.  I colored up Eleanor May Hatter with my Copics and added some Liquid Pearls and Star Dust Stickles to the plume and ornament on her hat.  That's it!  A simple green satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Elphine House Australia Challenge #53 - With A Twist

Hi again! I'm back with my DT post for this month's challenge at Elphine House Australia.  I apologize for being late with my post.  I had an eye appointment this afternoon and they dilated my eyes.  I am still having trouble looking at the computer screen!  Anyway, we have something a little different for you starting today. This time, you have your choice of playing along with either or both of two themes - the one we had planned for November and/or the December challenge theme.  The current challenge will run until December 30th and we will announce the winners on December 31st.  Starting in January, we will be back to our normal monthly schedule.  We will have a mid-challenge inspiration post for you, but head on over to the Elphine House blog right now to see some gorgeous DT inspiration with both themes!

Without further ado, the two themes are "falling leaves" or "let it snow".

Here is my card for the "falling leaves" theme:

My card base and mats are cardstock from my stash.  The patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Autumn Song 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Tommy Apples for Mom by Elisabeth Bell for Elphine House Australia.  I stamped him on MiC Blending Card and colored him with my Copics.  I framed him with an ornate leaf frame cut with my Cameo using a file from the Silhouette store.  I layered the frame over another piece of patterned paper.  The "thankful" sentiment was also cut with my Cameo using a file from Miss Kate Cuttables.  A bunch of Recollections paper leaves, a few rhinestone leaf stickers and some olive gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Elphine House blog and check out the gorgeous creations for both themes from the rest of the DT.  We hope you will play along!  Don't forget, you must you an Elisabeth Bell image (any company) to enter the challenge.

Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a great week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I am out of town again for a couple of days, so I have another pre-scheduled post today.  I am sharing my DT card for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz.  This week we have a color inspiration challenge for you.  You can do anything you'd like with the colors, but please remember to have some coloring with alcohol markers (any brand) on your project.

Here is the color inspiration photo that our teammie, Tress, picked:

It's a perfect color palette for fall or Halloween, don't you think?  

Here is my card:

I went the Halloween route and used some fun Halloween patterned paper from K & Co. for the background.  I cut a big spider web with a cut file from Miss Kate Cuttables, then cut it in pieces to add around the border of my card.  The adorable image is Pirate Kai by Mo Manning for Penny Black.  I stamped him on MiC Blending Card and colored him with my Copics.  I added a bit of Yellow Stickles to the jack-o-lantern face.  A few plastic spiders in the webs and around the image finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
