SCS card Sketch...



This card was done for last weeks card sketch. I can't go look up the link at this time for reasons you are going to find downright Hilarious. The batteries in the mouse are dying and I am frustrated surfing the net so I will need to wait 'til DH gets home and UNLOCKS them. Yes, because of the excessive use of AAA batteries in our house they have to be divided out, seems if the kids find them we never have any for reasons like this. They always have a CD player or game somewhere in need of AAA's. And yes we do use some rechargeables as well, but I do not know where they are hiding at this time.
Back to the card, no stamping at all, the paper was embossed with a CB folder and in the middle of the card is a Tree Brad, I love it! (Okay, okay there is a tiny sentiment stamp that was used but really does that even count?) This paper was given to me by Barb, it is double sided, and I have really enjoyed using it. Now that I see the photo I am going to go back and layer up the center square, it just needs a little bit more...

Lifelight....

Have a safe Happy Holiday weekend!

Sympathy...



So I have a few sympathy cards done now but have more to go. This is another of my faves it used Regal Rose and Mellow Moss and the stamp used again was Artfully Asian and was colored using ink pad, chalks and blender pen. I ran the background through the embossing folder divine swirls after the sentiment was stamped on the front in black staz-on. The ribbon is SU from the fairytale package, I love this ribbon (yummy).
My stamp set arrived from Paper Trey, am going to try to ink it up today or Friday.
Have a great day thanks for checking in.

CC129 Sympathy


I do so love the Challenges on SCS and Yesterday was the Color Challenge for the week. This week it is called CC129 and you use the SU colors listed and they were...
Rose Red
Pretty In Pink
Old Olive
I was asked to do some sympathy cards for some Ladies and have been very pleased as to what I have come up with. Thanks to my Sister and WRAK members I now have some sentiments to make cards with. Also thanks to Barb for these wonderful papers they are a double sided mulberry type paper, such fun!
For this card I used Artfully Asian, I adore this set.
I put lots of bling on this card and some Prima flowers, so what do you think would it be a passable sympathy card?
Thanks for checking in.

Celebrate...

This card was designed by my Sister it uses a SU set but I am not sure of the name of this one. The card was made while she was over for a stamp day, the girls helped color and glitter this card, they have fun making stuff with us. Both of us use the Bold Bright family of colors the most and that is what was used on this card. The coloring was done with colored pencils.
Just want to send an extra special Thank You to my Sister for all she has done for my oldest DD to get her ready for Back to school this year. (And yes she does have her flute with her today so she will not need to march with a marker, how silly she is!)
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Second DD digi page first day of school ...


So here is the page for my other DD, I can't believe it 5th grade! She was excited about her butterfly backpack this year and she was ready to go to school. She loves to have her photo taken so no comments from her to report.

DD Digi page first day of school...


Okay, I saved my digi page differently and it uploads but you can't increase the size much to see the smaller photos. But I have figured out how to get it here, Hurray for Me! In the second smaller photo you can see the Knee brace that she has to wear now 'til we visit the Dr. in October. I also found it hysterical how she wanted her hair french braided for the first day of school yet she chooses to dress like a tom-boy, go figure. (her hair was not long enough for the braiding to stay in well enough so she took it out.)
