You're A Winner!

Good morning!  Did you all have a good weekend?  Some of you here in the US get to be off for another day for President's Day.  If you are one of the lucky ones, enjoy!  I am popping in really quickly to share the card I made for two challenges - Through The Craftroom Door Challenge #20 (CAS, but must have a sentiment) and The Paper Players #83 (CAS - masculine).

Here is my card for the challenges:

The card is pretty self-explanatory.  The patterned paper is from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Breeze 6x6 pad.   My image is Big Guy Golfing from Mo's Digital Pencil.  He can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed him on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from an older Gina K. Designs set called King of The Grill.    That's it - a super simple masculine CAS card for my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day and see you soon!

Missing You in Alabama

Good morning!  Phew!  It's been a busy week so far and it appears to be continuing!  Sorry I haven't been blogging as much this week.  I hope to catch up and visit everyone later in the week.  Right now, I have a quick post to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous Stately Flowers 2 stamp set.  I am finding so many uses for the beautiful florals and great sentiments in this set!  This time I did a simple "missing you" card.  I miss so many of my friends since I moved to Alabama!

Here is my card that Melanie posted on her blog:

I started with an A6 card base of GKD  Pure Luxury Green Apple and layered with Bubblegum Pink and patterned paper from the Basic Grey Sweet Threads collection.  I stamped the US map from Melanie's Make A State-ment set with Versamark and Memento Bamboo Leaves onto Cryogen White and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I stamped the top sentiment, also from Make A State-ment with Versamark and Angel Pink and embossed with clear EP.  The Alabama on the bottom is from Stately Flowers 2.  I added a little pearl heart over Alabama on the map.  I stamped the small camellia from Stately Flowers 2 and colored it with Copics.  It was cut out and popped up on foam tape.  A satin bow and another pink pearl heart finished my simple card.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks, Melanie, for posting another of my cards!  I hope to be around a little later on to visit your blogs!

Another Stately Flowers Card

Hi there!  Hope your week has been good so far!  I'm scrambling a bit to make up for the holiday this week. Before I head out for the afternoon, I'm popping by to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous set, Stately Flowers 2.  Melanie was sweet enough to post it on her blog today.  This time I worked with the beautiful goldenrod image.  Each of Melanie's floral sets have such gorgeous and realistic flower images and they pair beautifully with so many different sentiments!

Here is my card:

I made another CAS card to allow the beautiful flowers be the main focal point of the card.  Again, I went to the internet for some inspiration photos to guide mu coloring.  I started with a 5 x 7 card base of Gina K. Designs Heavy Base Weight White.  I cut a piece of Layering Weight White and embossed it with one of the Sizzix Birds & Wreath embossing folders.  I matted this panel with Pure Luxury Wild Dandelion and Grass Green.  I stamped the goldenrod image from Stately Flowers 2 and the butterfly from Melanie's Make A State-ment set with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copic markers.  It's hard to tell, but I highlighted the flower and butterfly with Spica pens.  I popped up the butterfly and added a green silk bow.  My sentiment is from one of Melanie's earlier sets, Arranged With Love (another fave of mine).

Thank you for stopping by and Melanie, for sharing my card!  Enjoy your day and see you soon!

StampTV CSS Alumni Blog Hop

Hi there!  It's me again!  It's time for another StampTV Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!  This time we have a sketch challenge with a fabulous sketch designed by our very own Melissa Cash!  If you arrived here from Brenda's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you will want to head back to the StampTV forum and start from the beginning so you don't miss any of the amazing creations the team has to share.

Here is Melissa's sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch:

I started with a 5 x 7 card base of Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White and layered with Pure Luxury Innocent Pink.  I embossed a layer of Layering Weight White with the Madison Cuttlebug folder.  I stamped the Hawthorn image from Melanie's new set, Stately Flowers 2 onto Cryogen White and colored it with Copics.   I matted it with Innocent Pink cut with the Spellbinders Lacey Squares die.   The sentiment is also from Stately Flowers 2.  It is matted with a tag from Spellbinders Parisian Accents. I added a flourish cut from Fresh Asparagus with the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die.  I tucked it around the image panel then added a double-loop satin bow with a Prima button in the center.  A few adhesive rhinestones finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Your next stop is the super-talented Cheri's blog.  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (January 17), we will randomly choose one comment from all the blogs and the lucky commenter will win a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs stamps!

Have a great weekend!

Another Stately Flowers Card

Good morning!  Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Before I head out, I'm popping in quickly to share another card I made with Melanie Muenchinger's gorgeous new stamp set, Stately Flowers 2.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I would use this set for so many different types of cards!  The beautiful florals and versatile sentiments are perfect together!

Here is my card:

This time I went with a more subdued color palette since I was making a sympathy card.  I started with a card base of SU Ruby Red and layered with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Rosy 6x6 pad.   I stamped the small camellia from Stately Flowers 2 twice on Cryogen White and colored them with Copics.  I added some Gold Liquid Pearls dots to the flower centers.  They were cut out and popped up on foam tape.  I added a doily made with the Cheery Lynn Polynesian Sails Oval die. Everything was sponged with a little Antique Linen Distress Ink.  A few adhesive pearls finished off my card.

I used the Mojo Monday 222 sketch for my layout and the colors from the Colour Create Challenge #87 (red, sage green and cream).

Here is the Mojo sketch:

Stately Flowers

Good morning!  Happy Wednesday!  I'm off to an early start and hope to get a lot done today!  Before getting to it, I have something fun to share this morning!  I was so thrilled and honored last week when the super-talented Melanie Muenchinger asked me if I'd like to make a few samples to showcase her latest Gina K. Designs stamp set, Stately Flowers 2.  If you been following the last couple of GKD releases, you know that Melanie has illustrated the first two sets in her Stately Flowers series.  Each month, she will release a new set with a different collection of state flowers and corresponding sentiments until all the states are done!  What a brilliant idea!  In addition, Melanie has a companion set called Make A State-ment that has lots of great sentiments that work perfectly with the state flower images!  These sets will be perfect for your card-making and scrapbooking projects!  Anyway, this month's set has the state flower for Alabama, where I recently moved.   I know I'm going to get a ton of use out of this set!

Here is my first project with Stately Flowers 2 and Make A State-ment that

Melanie shared on her blog today:

I started with a card base of GKD Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White and layered with Pure Luxury Lipstick Red.  I embossed and die cut a panel of Layering Weight White with the Marianne Designs DS0912 folder and layered that so the red cardstock showed through the holes.  Camellia is the state flower of Alabama and I used some photos from the internet to guide my coloring.  I stamped two each of the small and large camellias from Stately Flowers 2 and colored them with Copic markers.  I added a bit of yellow Stickles to the flower centers.  I cut them all out and popped them up on different levels to add some dimension.  The top sentiment is from Make A State-ment and the bottom one is from Stately Flowers 2.  I matted them with Lipstick Red and popped them up to finish my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day and hope to see you again soon!

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Only two days left - hope you are all ready!  I have a bunch of things to do today so I am popping in quickly to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  The theme this week is "food".  Very appropriate, I'd say, since all I seem to be doing is eating right now!  I used Sketch Saturday #186 for my layout and I included one of my favorite challenges - Mo's DP2 Challenge #112 in the mix!  The theme at Mo's this week was to use "punches and/or dies".

Here is the SS #186 sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with patterned papers from the Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 6x6 pad.  I merged two fabulous Mo Manning images - Perfection and Vintage Stove.  They can be found in Mo's store here.  I printed the merged image on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers.  I added some Glossy Accents to the clock face and salt & pepper shakers, some Stickles to her apron and earrings and some Liquid Applique to the souffle.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Wreath of Wishes set.  I used Spellbinders Classic and Scallop Circle Nestabilities dies to cut and mat my image and sentiment.  I created three borders with edger punches - Martha Stewart Modern Garland and Combo Deco Shells and EK Success Morocco Lace.  A few buttons from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge to see the fabulous creations from my immensely talented DT sistahs and our wonderful December GD, Shelby!  I know it's a busy time, but hopefully you'll be inspired to play along with us once the holidays are over.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope your holidays are truly blessed and best wishes for a a happy, healthy and crafty new year!

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning!  It's early for me, but it was my turn to post this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.  This week's theme is "home" - however you want to interpret it.  

Here is my DT card for the challenge:

I chose "home for the holidays" as my home theme.  I started with an A6 card base of GKD Fresh Asparagus and layered with patterned paper from the Webster's Pages Waiting for Santa/Sweet Season Petite Papers pack.  I merged two wonderful images from Mo's Digital Pencil - Hanging Stockings and Christmas Tree.  They can both be found in Mo's old store here.  I printed the merged image on Cryogen White and colored with Copic markers.  I added a bunch of Stickles for some sparkle.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs The Magic of Christmas.  A triple loop bow of dyed seam binding and a Webster's Pages Sparkler finished my card. 

My card is also for two other challenges I like to do: Craft Your Passion #86 (holiday or winter-related) and Make It Monday #65 (anything goes).

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Copic/Promarker Challenge thread and check out the gorgeous creations from my DT sisters and our wonderful December Guest Designer, Shelby!  We hope you'll play along with us!  We are always inspired by your fantastic creations! 

Have a great day and hope to see you soon!

CSS Alumni Blog Hop - Inspiration Challenge

Hi there!  It's time for another Center Stage Alumni Blog Hop!  I haven't been able to participate in the last couple of hops so I'm thrilled to be here!  This time it's an Inspiration Challenge.  If you came here from Betty's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you'll definitely want to go back to the StampTV forum and start from the beginning so you don't miss anything. 

Here is the inspiration photo Carolina gave us:

Here's what I came up with:

I was obviously inspired by the colors and all the little round boxes in the photo.  I don't usually work so literally from the inspiration piece, but I did with this one, for some reason.  I also issued myself an extra challenge to try and use some of my older Gina K. Designs sets instead of always reaching for the newer ones.  I started with a card base of Pure Luxury Ocean Mist and layered with patterned paper from the Basic Grey Mistletoe & Pears 12x12 pad.   Using Spellbinders Scallop Circle Nesties, I cut out a scalloped circle from Ocean Mist, Green Apple, Grass Green, Lipstick Red, Cranberry Tart and Innocent Pink cardstock.  I layered each with a small circle cut from different patterns in the Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses 6x6 pad with Spellbinders Classic Circle Dies.  I stamped sentiments from The Magic of Christmas, Festive Frame and First Christmas onto three of the circles with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  On the remaining three circles, I stamped different snowflakes from The Magic of Christmas set.  I added "pearls" around all the scalloped frames with a Viva Decor Ice White Pearl Pen.  I added a few iridescent gems to the centers of the snowflakes.  A few tiny bows on the remaining circles finished my card. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog!  Next, hop on over to Carolina's blog where she has a fantastic creation to share with you.  Be sure to leave a comment on every blog as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (November 22), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and the lucky commenter will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!

Enjoy the rest of the hop and have a great weekend! 

Card For a Couple of Challenges

Hi there!  Hope you are having a great day!  It's a gorgeous day here, but I've been stuck inside doing things around the house.  I hope to remedy that soon!  Meanwhile, I'm popping in quickly to share the card I made for a couple of challenges. It is for this week's Our Creative Corner Challenge, which was to make a masculine card with non-traditional masculine colors.  It is also for Challenge #13 over at the Through The Craft Room Door Challenge Blog, which this time was themed "Fall" in Love.  You had to include leaves and it was optional to use the color brown or tan.

Here is my card for both challenges:

I decided to make a thank you card for my DH.  I used patterned papers from Bo Bunny called Forever Fall.  I thought the rich yellow, orange, burgundy and teal would make for good non-tradional male colors.  I stamped the fall wreath from Impression Obsession onto Cryogen White with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.  I sponged around the image panel with one of my new Tim Holtz Fall Distress Inks - Gathered Twigs. The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Thanks A Million set and it's stamped with SU Bermuda Bay. I added a bit of teal raffia for a more masculine look than ribbon and I finished it off with a few gold rhinestone leaves.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

The Play Date Cafe #98

Hello, there!  What a busy weekend it's been!  This is my first chance to get to the computer all weekend!  Before I go get ready for another busy week, I wanted to stop in and share the card I made for this week's color challenge at The Play Date Cafe.  The colors this week were teal, mustard and dark blue.

Here is the inspiration photo:

Here is the card I made for the challenge:

I must admit I was a little intimidated by this color combo.  I couldn't quite figure out at first how to incorporate the navy/dark blue. I started with a card base of the beautiful new SU In Color, Island Indigo.  I layered with patterned papers from the DCWV Mariposa 12x12 pad (top panel) and the Basic Grey Black Tie collection (bottom panel). I stamped the label frame from Gina K, Designs Lovely Labels 2 set with Broken China Distress Ink and cut it out with Spellbinders Labels Fourteen Nestabilities.  The sentiment from Gina K. Designs Hugs and Prayers set was stamped in the frame with Chipped Sapphire DI.  I colored some adhesive pearls a mustard color with a Copic marker.  I finished my card wth a double loop bow of navy satin and a Prima flower I airbrushed to match the mustard shade.

Thanks for stopping by!   I hope to see you soon!

StampTV CSS Alumni Blog Hop - Inspiration Challenge

It's time for another CSS Alumni Blog Hop!  I haven't been able to join in for the last few hops due to my move, but I'm excited to be back!  If you arrived here from Betty's blog, you are in the right place.  If not, you'll want to start back at the StampTV forum so you won't miss any of the team's amazing creations!

This time around, we have an Inspiration Challenge.  We were to be inspired by anything in this photo of a beautiful room from the Pier 1 website:

Here is my card for the challenge:

I was inspired by the colors, the patterns and the "feel" of the room.  I used Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury Turquoise Sea, Ocean Mist, and Pumpkin Spice to mat my layers.  The patterned papers are all from the DCWV Cafe Mediterranean Mat Stack. I embossed a panel of Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White with the Cuttlebug Window Pane embossing folder then added some adhesive gems to the panes.  I stamped the butterfly from Gina's Hope is Faith set twice with Memento Rich Cocoa onto Pure Luxury Layering Weight White and colored them by sponging with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge, Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks.  The butterflies were cut out and layered on foam tape for a 3D effect.  I added some gems to the top butterfly body for a little extra sparkle.  The sentiment from Hope is Faith was also stamped with Rich Cocoa onto Layering Weight White and matted with Ocean Mist.  A triple loop satin bow and a Prima flower finished my card.

The next stop on the hop is Carolina's blog, where she has a fabulous creation to share with you!

Copic/Promarker Challenge - The Outlawz

Good morning - TGIF!  I hope you have a fun weekend planned!  I am going to attempt to do something besides unpack this weekend.  That alone should make it a good one! Before getting going with my day, I'm stopping by to share my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge on The Outlawz site.

This week's theme is "how does your garden grow".

Here is my garden-themed card:

I used this great Mo Manning image called Sadie.  You can find it in Mo's Digital Pencil store.  I started with a card base of GKD Red Hot and layered with this bright and sparkly DP from the DCWV Citrus Matstack. Anyone who knows me knows I rarely use such bright colors!  I don't know what got into me - lol!  I printed Sadie on Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  I cut out the main image with Spellbinders Petite Ovals Nestabilities and matted with a Red Hot Petite Scallop Oval die cut.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Happy Spring set.  I used Spellbinders Long Rectangles, Classic and Scalloped, for it.  I cut out two leafy branches from DCWV Flower Shower Glitter Matstack with a die from Heartfelt Creations HCD 712 Decorative Layered Basket Die set and tucked them around my image. A simple bow and button finished my card.

Be sure to stop by the Copic/Promarker Challenge and see the fabulous samples created by the rest of the team.  We hope you will be inspired to play along with us!  By entering a card, you become eligible for some awesome prizes from our wonderful sponsors: Ooazk, SCACD, Gilli Stamps an Paper Temptress!  All the details for entering can be found in the challenge thread.

Exciting News and A Card To Share

Good morning!  It's a holiday weekend here in the US and I know I am looking forward to the extra time to spend with family and friends!  No matter where you are, I hope you have a fun weekend planned!

I can hardly contain myself today as I have a lot of exciting things to tell you!  I can finally share the news that I was invited to be one of the new Design Team Members for July - December 2011 on the Card Patterns Sketch Challenge blog!  I am so honored to have the opportunity to design with this amazingly talented team!  I am still pinching myself to be sure I'm not dreaming!

And if that isn't enough, I was asked to be a Guest Designer for the next two weeks on the Our Creative Corner Challenge blog!  I am so excited to join the OCC team for these two challenges!  This week's OCC challenge was a Seasonal Celebration - create a card for either 4th of July or Christmas in July.  Right away, I thought that the two challenges would work perfectly together.

Here is this week's Card Patterns Sketch #122:

This week's Card Patterns Challenge is being sponsored by We Scrap.com kits.

Here is my card for both challenges:

I decided to create a card for a 4th of July celebration.  I started with a card base of SU Blue Bayou and layered with GKD Cranberry Tart CS.  All my patterned paper is from the We R Memory Keepers Old Glory Collection.  I cut sections of the DP for the 4th of July sentiment and for the main image panel.  The focal panel and frames were cut with Spellbinders Labels Four Large and Small dies.  I stamped the stars from Gina K. Designs Lazy Days of Summer set with SU Blue Bayou and Cranberry Crisp and Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress ink onto coordinating cardstock and punched them out with Marvy star punches.  They were popped up on Pop Dots.  A punched border and a simple bow finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to see you again soon!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Just Us Girls, Mojo and More

Good morning!  I've got a card to share today that I made for a couple of fun challenges.  First, it is for this week's challenge over at the Just Us Girls Challenge blog ( JUGS85), which was a color challenge to use all the colors of the rainbow for our card.  I used Mojo Monday Sketch #192 for my layout.  Finally, my card is for this week's Teapot Tuesday Challenge (MMTPT147) on Splitcoast Stampers.  The theme for our tea party this week was anything "fishy".  We are sending our cards to a 10 year old boy named Colton who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma.  Colton loves fishing and he was also asked to be the Grand Marshal for the Strawberry Festival Parade in his town, hence the fishing theme and strawberries.  You can read more about the card drive for Colton here.

Here is the color inspiration for the JUGS challenge:

And here is the Mojo sketch:

Here is my card for the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Green Apple and layered with fun patterned paper from the K & Co. Citronella 12x12 pad that has every color of the rainbow in it.  The cute digi, called Fishing Days, is from Sassy Cheryl's.  I received it as part of the original Help For Katie fundraising effort.  It is still available here.  I printed it on Cryogen White Iridescent CS and colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Gina K. Designs Spring Mix set. It is cut and framed with Spellbinders Scallop and Classic Circle dies. I cut out some little strawberries from October Afternoon's Fly A Kite patterned paper and added them around my card to finish it off.

Thanks for coming by to check out my blog!  Have a great day and hope to see you soon!

Card for A Few Challenges

Good evening!  I hope your week is off to a great start!  It's hot and humid here in NC - just like summer!  I'm popping in to share a card I made for a few challenges I like to do.  Time seems to be getting away from me, so I was glad I could find a way to combine them.  First, it is for Card Patterns Sketch #116. It is also for this week's Our Creative Corner Challenge - Frame It - where Linda challenged us to create a raised frame for our project.  It is also for today's Mix It Up Monday Challenge on StampTV, where Donna challenged us to create a card with a shabby chic style.  Finally, it for today's Greeting Card Challenge (GC052311) on The Outlawz site which was to create a greeting card with no stamps or digital images except a sentiment on the front. Lot of things to think about, but luckily the challenges worked well together!

Here is the Card Patterns sketch:

Here is my card for all of the challenges:

I started with a card base of GKD Chocolate Brown and layered with patterned paper from the Prima Madeline 6x6 pad.  I used Spellbinders Classic Circles Large and Small to create the top and bottom elements.with the same CS and patterned paper.  I cut out the center focal point from patterned paper with a Spellbinders Labels Sixteen die.  I created a frame for the center piece from Chocolate Brown using the same die set and popped it up with Mini Pop Dots.  Per the Greeting Card challenge, the only stamping was the sentiment from the Gina K. Designs set, Hope Grows, which was stamped with Vivid Coffee Bean onto the center panel.    I machine stitched around the base panels to give a shabby look.  The butterfly was punched from DP with the Martha Stewart Monarch Butterfly Punch.  I added some aqua pearls to the body.  I finished my card with some wrinkled seam binding that I dyed and distressed and a small button from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!  I truly appreciate it when you visit!

Card For A Few Challenges

This is my second post today.  I'm back to share a card I made for a few challenges I like to do.  First, it is for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #81.  It is also for the May Sketch For You To Try on Jen Del Muro's blog.  It also fits with this week's Greeting Card Challenge (GC051611) on The Outlawz site which was a recipe challenge to include 2 patterns, 2 flowers and 2 bling, at least.  Finally, it is for the Mix It Up Monday Challenge (STVMONJW1) on StampTV - Focus on Flowers - which was to use either a main image or patterned paper with flowers.  Phew!

Here is the PDCC Inspiration photo:

And here is the May Sketch For You To Try:

Here is my card for all the challenges:



I started with a card base of GKD heavy base weight white CS.  My patterned papers are from the Bo Bunny Alissa and Peacock Lane collections. I stamped the floral wreath from Gina K. Designs Wreath of Wishes with Memento Tuxedo Black onto heavy weight CS and colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment was also stamped onto heavy white CS and popped up.  I added some soft gray satin ribbon and two Bo Bunny flowers. I finished it with gray pearls from Basic Grey in the flower centers and corners.

Thanks for coming by again!  See you tomorrow for more card creations from the Heartfelt Creations Design Team!
