Mojo Monday Sketch # 80

Well I have been at it again, I found another wonderful site with card sketch challenges so I can use more of my pretty Sugar Nellie Stamps. This card was made for the Mojo Monday card sketch challenge. Here is the sketch we were given to create our cards from:



This is my version of the the sketch:



My little card creation was made with Bazzill bright pink card stack, Bazzill dotted swiss card stock in teal, Prima PP stack "Sasha", Pebbles white candy dots, ribbon and decorated staight pin, The stamped image is "Wind Swept" by Elisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie Stamps. I colored the images with copic markers and highlighted it with a white signo gel pen. TFL and I hope you enjoyed my little creation.

Sketch Saturday Challenge #44 & WOJ Challenge # 24 Distressing

Well its been a while since I have done this. So I have one card for two challenges the first is theWOJ Challenge #24 distressing so lets get dirty. I have also been surfing the net and come across some of the most amazing places and one in particular is the Saturday Sketch Challenge Blog. I love this Blog. They have the most amazing card sketches you have ever seen. Recently I invested in some of the Whiff of Joy and Sugar Nellie stamps I am totally addicted to these little beauties. I wanted to be able to show them off on some really good looking card desings and so here I am. This sketch is done by Dawn a Guest Designer over at Sketch Saturday I love this one.



So here is my take on the sketch:



I used the WOJ stamp "Melinda Blowing Kisses", Pink Paislee PP, Bazzill Card stock, Copic Markers with colorless blender, Kaiser pearls, Assorted Punches and Prima flowers.I also distressed alll the edges of the orinted papers and the image.

I think I got a little carried away with the flowers and ended up changing the overall look of the card sketch sorry I am new to this so bear with me. Enjoy and Happy Scrapping!

Whiff Of Joy Challenge #23

OGM!!!! Can you believe I am going to do 2 posts in one day? I have really fallen in love with these sweet little Whiff Of Joy stamps, they have amazing detail and can be colored with so many different art mediums. I have just started to experiment with copic markers and this is my very first time to post at WOJ. We were given a sketch designed by Donalda to create our card from here is the sketch:



Here is my version of her beautiful sketch:



I used my new WOJ " Willow Kneeling" stamped onto neenah solar white paper with momento black tuxedo ink. Then I used bazzill card stock and Debbie Mumm PP for the card I then embellished with MS flowers, prima say it with crystals, ribbon flower, assorted punches and the new Pebbles yellow candy dots. The sentiment was a CTMH just say it stamp. I have had a wonderful time making this little creation and hope to do more every week. Thanks for a great challenge and awesome sketch.

House~Mouse Challenge #22 Paper Piercing

Okay this is a new technique for me, I have never done paper piercing before. So I pulled out my trusty new nestabilities oval & scalloped oval and went to work, First I cut out, embossed and pierced the bottom oval. The House~Mouse stamp I used this time was Sweet Kiss # HMFR1004. The image is stamped onto 80# white card stock with Ranger archival ink in "Jet Black". I then colored those sweet cuties in with prisma colored pencils and blended the colors with Gamsol and blending stumps. I layered the card with bazzill bling paper in a light blue and the printed paper is an older one from Fancy Pants. The embossing was done with a cuttlebug swirl folder,"I LUV THAT THING!" the final touch was to use a Martha Stewart Dolley Lace punch on the edge of the blue bazzill bling, I think it gives the card an additional pierced paper look. Thanks for another fun challenge, enjoy and thanks for looking.

House~Mouse DT Tryout

A very Exciting thing is going on over at the House~Mouse Monday challenge blog, they are having tryouts for two new DT members.I have only been card making for a short time, but thoroughly enjoy every minute of it so I have also decided to throw my hat in the ring. A few short weeks ago I ran across the House~Mouse Monday Challenge blog and was completely over taken by the amazing designs that were being created for these stamps. I would consider it an honor and a great privilege to be considered for one of the two spots available on the design team. I think I could bring some very simple and creative designs that all team members and bloggers could use and enjoy. I have ample time on my hands now that I am currently unemployed due to a retirement, and this will be my first try for a DT but, more than anything else I would love for it to be with this very creative and sweet design team and bloggers.
Thank you to the House~Mouse DT for the consideration and here are my samples for submission.







Also good luck to all the other ladies who have submitted applications too, you are all so amazingly talented!

House~Mouse Monday Challenge# 21 & Blog Candy Alert

I have to say this weeks House ~ Mouse Monday challenge truly was just that

House~Mouse Challenge #20 Make an ATC

Finally!
The New Year has begun and life is getting into a more normal pace since the Holidays have ended. I am ready for things to slow down again and to get back into the regular activities of my everyday life,and with this comes the Monday Challenge over at the House~Mouse Blog. This week we are to make an ATC, (AKA) Artist Trading Cards. Well this is right up my alley since most of what I create with paper is ATC's. So here is my creation for this weeks challenge sorry about the picture it is slightly fuzzy. I just love little dancers and I recently got this sweet little H~M stamp as a christmas gift. She is called "Twinkle Toes" and she is stamp# HMGR1013. I colored her in with prisma color pencils and shaded her with Gamsol and blending stumps. The pink polka dotted paper is from Making Memories and the hearts are from Sandy Lion. The rub on is from the Basic Grey Two Scoops collection and so fits this sweet little dancing mouse. Hope this week finds everyone well. Thanks for looking and Enjoy!
