Sketch Saturday #335

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  We've got lots to do today, but luckily, it's a pretty Fall day so nice to be out.  Before heading out, I am here with my DT post for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge.  We are generously sponsored by Simon Says Stamp, who is offering the lucky winner a $25 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.

Here is this week's sketch, designed by Debra:

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD turquoise Sea and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye and We R Memory Keepers Hip Hip Hooray collections.  The cute image is Pop Star Suzy from Art by Mi Ran.  I colored her with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I didn't add anything else this time, since the papers were a little "busy".

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Sketch Saturday #330

Good morning!  Happy Saturday!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Mine would have been if I didn't have posting issues and wake up to find my Sketch Saturday post not live!  More than likely operator-error.  Anyway, I am here now with my DT post for the Sketch Saturday Challenge.  It is actually my DT week, so I have chosen the sponsor and created the sketch.  Our sponsor is Little Miss Muffet Stamps, who are offering a $6 GC to the Little Miss Muffet Stamps shop.

You're Such A Loser

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  It's been very hot here, but we can't complain since there haven't been any strong storms attached!  Knock wood it stays that way!  I am popping in this morning to share some Make it Crafty inspiration with you!  Have you seen the fabulous new digi collection?  It's called Let's Get Active.  In this collection, we meet Kimberly and Brian, who are intent on getting themselves fit!  The new digis are so much fun and I know I, for one, can definitely relate to their plight!  I decided to have a play with the new stamps.

 

Here is my card:

 

My card base and mats are GKD Smoky Slate and the patterned papers are from the Glitz Designs All Dolled Up 6x6 pad.  I've used the fun Kimberly Weigh Scales and colored her up with my Copics.  I added a bit of Glossy accents to the top of the scale and some doodling around the image.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I didn't add any other embellishments to my CAS card.  I think this will be perfect for a friend who is working super hard on her fitness program.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Friday Coloring Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the weekend!  I've been quite busy this week, but I'm hoping things will slow down a little over the weekend.  I am here today with my DT card for this week's Friday Coloring Challenge at The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is " at the beach/pool".  Easy, right?  Remember that we've opened the challenge to any coloring medium, but you must still have a colored image on your project.

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Lost Lagoon and the patterned papers are from the Echo Park Paradise Beach 6x6 pad.  The fun image is Lounging Around by Sassy Studio Designs.  It was generously offered as a Friday Freebie a couple of years ago on the now defunct Paper Craft Planet.  There is a newer version with a similar look currently available in the shop.  It's called Lounging Around Sassy.  Anyway, I printed the image on Hammermill cardstock and colored it with my Copics.  I added some polka dots with my Sharpie White Paint Pen and a little flower design to the cushion on the chair.  I also added in a beach, ocean and sky with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A couple of 3D sand dollar stickers finished my card. 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:

Little Miss Mufft Challenge #83 - Distressing

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Hope your week is going well!  I can't believe it's already Thursday again!  Since it is, it is time for my weekly Little Miss Muffet DT post.  This week we have a brand new challenge for you!  The theme is "distressing".  We hope the theme isn't distressing to you, but we'd like to see distressing on your creation! 

Here is mine:

 

My card base and mats are SU Buckaroo Blue and the patterned paper is from the Prima En Francaise 6x6 pad.  The sweet image is Le Parfum Des Roses from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  She is only available for a limited time so you'll want to grab her before she's gone.  I stamped her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added a touch of Liquid Pearls to the string on her fan.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  I roughed up the edges and added three pearls from my stash and called it done.

 

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Little Miss Muffet blog and check out the distressed creations from the rest of the Little Misses as well as our Guest Designer for April, Samantha, and our guest for the challenge, Mirella!.  Our Facebook team will also be sharing their gorgeous projects here.  You have until Tuesday, April 29th at 11:55 PM CDT to enter the challenge!  We hope you will play along!

Sisterhood

Hi there!  It's me again!  I'm back with a second post today.  You can tell I am catching up after my weekend away!  I'm here now with a card for a couple of challenges I wanted to do and actually found the time to make the card.

Here is my card:

 

Sorry about the darkness of the photo.  I am having some trouble with my camera at the moment.  My card base and mats are SU Pool Party and the patterned papers are from the Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden 6.5 x 6.5 pad.  The beautiful image is Sisterhood by AuroraWings.  Mitzi generously shared it as a freebie for the grand opening of her challenge blog.  I printed it on Hammermill Digital Color Cover Stock and colored with my Copics.  I added some Star Dust Stickles for some sparkle.  A bit of satin ribbon and a few flowers from my stash finished my card. 

Here is a close-up of the colored image:
