SOS Challenge #15 - Sassy, Snarky & LOL

OK so I was a little out of my comfort zone with the latest challenge #15 over at Shopping our Stash which is:  SASSY, SNARKY & LOL.  Don't get me wrong I LOVE these type of cards but I just didn't have any images or couldn't thing of anything to fit the bill with this one.  Thankfully Carla came to my rescue and sent me this image by Art Impressions called "Madge".

I coloured her with copics and then went searching on the computer for a fun sentiment and found "Therapy has taught me that it's all YOUR fault" from this site on Etsy.  I thought it would be perfect for an I'm sorry card (in a snarky way) so that's what's on the inside.

Hhhhmmmmm now who could I give it to without them taking it the wrong way :)  I'll have to hold on to it for the right occasion!  I can't wait to see what you create for us over at SOS, I think I definitely need some more tips on these types of cards LOL!!

Paper Sundaes Challenge #84 - Celebrating Magnolia!

It's time for Paper Sundaes Challenge #84 and it's another challenge which I absolutely love!  We are celebrating our Maggies this week.....Magnolia Stamps that is!!  Did you know that our fabulous sponsor Stamp & Create is now carrying Magnolia stamps in their store?  You can check them all out HERE.
To help celebrate all of our Sundae Girls are using Magnolia stamps on their creations this week.  I used this sweet Magnolia stamp "Tilda with Big Ribbon".

I coloured her with copics and then cut out and arranged my card using Bo Bunny Papers.  I added this Princess sticker which I've had in my collection for awhile and some prima flowers.  I also distressed a paper doily with Tim Holtz distress ink in Spun Sugar to match.  A super sweet card which I'll most likely hold on to and give to my niece Katelyn at some point.  

I will be entering my card into the following challenges:

Card Making Mama's - Pink

Truly Scrumptious - Rocked up Pink

Sweet Stampin - Strawberry, Chocolate & Cream

SOS Challenge #14 Red, Ribbon & Roses

I had so much fun with Challenge #14 over at Shopping our Stash this week.  The theme is Red, Ribbon, Roses (create something with any or all of these items).  I managed to use all 3 but the ribbon is very hard to see (peeking out at the bottom of the image.  I kind of covered it up with everything but it is there LOL!!

I think I had so much fun with this because I LOVE to colour these sweet little Tilda images by Magnolia and who doesn't love RED, RIBBON & ROSES?  The rose I used was from my stash and it was nice to finally use it.  It was a Prima flower I bought a long time ago when I was vacationing with my best friend and family up in Westbank BC.  The paper I used was all from Stampin Up and the sentiment was from a Pure Innocence set that I had on hand.

I hope you'll play along with us at Shopping our Stash this week.   Remember you can use any OR all of the items listed this week.  Have fun!!

Christmas Penguin

I've had this cute little gift card made up for a little while now using the image "Penguin Home" digital stamp by The Stamping Boutique.

I coloured the image with copics and then added some texture with my snow marker.  The felt snowflake is one I've had in my stash for a while now & I think it's from Stampin Up.  I love this image but really need to work on my colouring of white images.  If anyone has any pointers on colouring in white would love to hear them!

Ooooh Christmas/Winter will be here before we know it!

Critter Sketch Challenge #79 - It's Sketch Time!

Time for another Critter Sketch Challenge & we have a fabulous sketch to play with this week.  It's a fun one so I hope you'll play along with us:

Our sponsor this month over at Critter Sketch is Jen's Digi Stamps and we got some fabulous images to play with all perfect for back to school.  I chose to use the image "Zak - Reading".  I really wanted to use the image "Teacher with Apple & Chalkboard" to create a back to school card but I wanted to make it for my son so I used the super cute Zak image and then drew the chalkboard in behind the image.  All paper for my card was from a fabulous paper pack called "Grade School" by DCWV.  I printed the back to school sentiment on my computer using the font Schoolhouse.

I added some star buttons from my stash to complete.  I think it turned out just perfectly & I know my son will like it :)  Can't wait to see what you come up with using this fabulous sketch!

Paper Sundaes Challege #83 - Time for a Sundae Bar!!

I love it when the challenge over at Paper Sundaes is the Sundae Bar, allowing us to choose from a variety of toppings for our cards.  The Sundae Bar this week includes:  Buttons, Banners, Twine or the Colour Green.  You must use at least 2 of the toppings to play along!!  For my card I chose two toppings:  Buttons & Green:

I used DP from Basic Grey's Capella line and sponged a piece of chipboard using Tim Holtz Distressing Ink in Bundled Sage & Forest Moss.   I added some buttons from my stash & the sentiment is from an Amy R sentiment set.  I stamped it in Black Memento ink & then used clear embossing powder on top.
Simon Says Stamp is our sponsor this week so be sure to play along for your chance to win a gift certificate to their store!  Happy Sundae!!

Happy Birthday with TSB

I recently made this card for my nephew Jordan's Birthday using the balloon image from The Stamping Boutiques Birthday Set:

I coloured the image with copics and used DP from my DCWV "Grade School" Paper Pad.  The Happy Birthday sentiment was taken from the TSB Image "Princess Jennifer Latte - Happy Birthday to Me".
This image is so perfect for birthdays and I know I'll be using it tons more to make up some quick Birthday cards.
