Paper Sundaes Challenge #42 - For the Boys

Happy Sundae!  Today marks Paper Sundaes 42nd Challenge & it is a fun one!  The theme this week is "For the Boy's" and is being sponsored by Simon Says Stamp!  If you haven't shopped there you should as it really is a one-stop shop!  Be sure to play along for your chance to win a gift certificate to their store!

For my card I used the image "Skater Ian" by The Greeting Farm & made a card for my son.

It was so much fun to make!  I used paper from Bo Bunny called Xtreme Teen and coloured the image to match with copics.  I embossed the cardstock with these cool new folders by Sizzix from a pack called Plaid & Snowflakes.   I love how deeply they emboss & can't wait to use the snowflake one for some Christmas cards!  I embossed the cardstock and then wrapped one with some black twine from my stash that I have probably had since I started scrapbooking/cardmaking many years ago.  Boy was it nice to finally use it!  Other supplies used:  Glitter Brads by Recollections,  and Foam glitter stars inked with black memento ink.  Hope you like it!

Make sure you stop by the Paper Sundaes Blog to meet the new Sundae Girls!  Their work is fabulous & I'm looking forward to working with them.  

My card will be entered into the following challenges:

Cards For Men Challenge #22- Anything Goes (as long as it's for a male).  This is for the only man in my life, my son!

The Creative Cottage Challenge #26 - Embossing

Moving Along with the Times Challenge #70 - Card for a Child (made for my 10 year old son)

Paper Sundaes Challenge - A Natural Woman

Happy Sundae!  It's been so long since my last post and it's nice to be back creating again.  I had to take some time to focus on my son in the past few weeks and haven't been able to create & post as much as I would have liked to.  Thank you to my amazing Paper Sundaes DT girls for your support, I appreciate it more than you will ever know!

This week's Challenge at Paper Sundaes has a theme "A Natural Woman" so we would like to see anything you create which includes women & nature of some sort!  This week we are being sponsored by the fabulous Wags & Whiskers available at Stamp & Create and our DT got to choose images from the latest Wags N Whiskers Fairy Release #2 and I chose "Laila".   I have to say that I really am glad that they came out with a 2nd group of fairies because I loved the first release so much.  You can see the first set here!

Laila was coloured with copics.  This great paper is from Kaiser Scrapbook & I absolutely love this line for all the purple & green in it!  The good thing about this card is that I got to use some goodies from my stash of swapped items on SCS!  I received these fabulous punched leaves quite awhile ago so it was nice to finally use them.  Other supplies used:  Flowers by Mulberry Street, pearls, ribbon & Lavender stickles!  

My card will be entered into the following challenges:

Flutter by Wednesday's - Anything with a Fairy, Butterfly or Angel (wings)

Paper Sundaes Challenge - Karen's Doodles

Happy Sundae!  This week's Paper Sundae Challenge involves using something from your stash (trying for something you've had for 6 months or more)!   This week we are being sponsored by the fabulous Karen's Doodle's and are DT was lucky enough to pick an image to use for this challenge.  I chose to use the image "Pumpkins" because it reminds me of fall/thanksgiving.  I made a Thanksgiving card to give to a friend but I think this image would be perfect for place cards at a big family Thanksgiving dinner or for your pumpkin patch scrapbook layouts!

I coloured the image with copics and then sponged the background with orange ink.  The items from my stash include the DP by Daisy Bucket Designs Sweet Marabella collection is dated 2007, orange fibre by Making Memories which I've had for at least a year & the orange brads which I've had for quite a while also.   Be sure to check out the Paper Sundaes blog to see all the creations by our amazing DT!  Enjoy your Sunday!

A Note of Thanks - TSB Daisy's

Wow!  I'm managing to post two days in a row, can you believe it?  Now that things are somewhat back to normal I've had a bit more time to create & had so much fun with this fabulous image "Daisy's" from The Stamping Boutique!  I used the sketch from Cute Card Thursday Challenge #131 as my base for the sketch but rotated it so I'm hoping that is still OK.

I coloured the image with copics and then cut out using my nesties.  The paper is Basic Grey and the sentiments is from a set by Hero Arts called "From the Heart Greetings".  Other materials used:  Bazill Cardstock, rhinestones.  I know I'll be using this image alot as it was very easy to colour & can be used on so many occasions.  Be sure to stop by the store to check out all of Tracey's new images & enter in the monthly contest to win free images from The Stamping Boutique!

Paper Sundaes Challenge "Winged Things"

It's good to be back posting a card for everyone to see, it's been quite a while since my last post!  I'm hoping I can get back into the swing of things and begin to post more regularly from now on.  The card I made is for this weeks Paper Sundaes Challenge "Winged Things".  We are again being sponsored by Stamp & Create & our design team was lucky enough to get to play with the new Wags n Whiskers Fairies line.  I used "Angelica" and think she is absolutely fabulous!

I coloured her with copics and then added a bit of glitter around her wings and the sash on her dress.  This image was so much fun to colour!  The design paper I used was by Dream Street from the Simply Stated line.  I LOVE this paper and have been hoarding it for awhile now so it felt good to use it!  I even brought out my sewing machine and felt brave enough to try something other than a straight stitch which was quite adventurous for me.  I love the look of it.  Other supplies used:  Glitter Paper cut out with scallop square nestie, Making Memories ribbon (another supply I've been hoarding -it's my absolute fave ribbon), & some rhinestones.  I didn't add a sentiment for the moment however I think at some point I will add on "Wishing you the Fairy Best"! 

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!  I've got a super hectic few weeks ahead.  I just signed my son up for cub scouts last week (which he absolutely loves) and I've been busy trying to get the pieces for his new uniform and now have to gather a whole bunch of supplies as he is going off camping in a few weeks!  I'm in a mad panic to get it all done in time, not sure how I'm going to fit this all in!  I'll definitely have to post a picture of him in his uniform once it is all complete!
