Fun in the Sun

Hey everyone and Happy friday to you all. My card for you today is representative of what I am dreaming of here in the rainy state of Oregon..........SUN. I made this card for a number of challenges, most of them dealing with summer.

1. The sketch is from the All That Scraps Wednesday challenge found here http://atsblog.typepad.com/wednesdayschallenge/ . I LOVED doing this sketch and I will definately be using it again.

2. The colors were from this weeks challenge over at the Color Throwdown found here http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/ . The colors are black, pink, green and turquoise. My only issue is that the background cardstock didnt photograph pink which it is. Oh well.

3. The Pink Elephant was asking for bright colors this week. Check out the DT examples here http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/2010/05/pink-elephant-tpe69.html

4. Stamptacular Sunday was calling for beachy cards. Well Anya is certainly dressed for the beach and it reminds me of the colors you would see people wearing at the beach. Go give the DT some love (Especially my friend Dee) http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/

4. Now Cupcake Crafts http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/ and Raise the Bar http://raisethebarchallenge.blogspot.com/ both put out the call for Summer cards. Well this card is pretty darn summery. LOL.

Well thats all for today. I'll be back next week with a few more to share and one showing off the Pink Frosting set from nutcrafters

Look what I won

Hey everyone. I am so excited I just had to share. So a great blog Tinker & Co. had a contest to name one of their new image characters. I saw the cute little Rooster and I felt he needed a good ole countryboy name so I suggested Hank and guess what. Jo loved my suggestion and named him that. Because she chose my name I won this fabulous kit.

Please everyone go check them out here http://tinkernco.blogspot.com/. You will love them as much as I do. She has some amazing images and papers. The May freebie is a great set of papers.

Thanks Mom

Hi everyone. Hoping you all are having a great Tuesday. I am sharing with you today the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day. I really hope she likes it.

Here are the challenges that this card is entered in.

1. The sketch was taken from Friday Sketchers this week over at http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ . I was slightly intimidated by this after seeing the DT samples but I had to try it.

2. Both the ABC Challenge http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ and I Love Digi http://ilovedigichallenge.blogspot.com/ are asking for Thank You cards. I made it a Thank You Mom card so that I could give it for Mother's Day.

3. Flutter by Wednesdays http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot.com/ requested that we keep oit clean & simple. Well as many of you know that is how almost all my cards are.

4. Over at Stamptacular Sunday http://stamptacularsundaychallenge.blogspot.com/ the challange was to celebrate moms and you got an extra entry if you mad ethe card specifically for your mom. Well this counts as two then.

Mother's Day card

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a fab weekend. We had my son's 3rd birthday party and wow was that entertaining.

Here is my card I managed to make in and this card fits 9 challenges. OMG thats alot. So here we go.

1. I used the sketch challenge at Inspirational Card Sketches http://icsketches.blogspot.com/ to create this card. I felt it worked with the image and the papers I was planning on using. This sketch was great and I will definately be using it again

2. Nutshells http://nutcrafters-nutshells.blogspot.com/ , Kaboodle Doodles http://www.kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com/ , and Whimsical Wednesday http://www.thediedrichdare.blogspot.com/ are all challenging us to make a spring themed card. Well I figured Mother's Day and flowers are pretty Springy.

3. Twisted Thursday #54 http://s2gpapercraftingcontest.blogspot.com/ and The Pink Elephant http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/ is asking us to make a card for Mom. Well this card is actually going to be going to my Grandma and I hope she loves it.

4. Cute Card Thursday's challenge 110 http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ was to "make your own". Well I made my own flower out of ribbon & a button. Its a little larger than i had anticipated but I still like the way it turned out.

5. Totally Gorjuss http://www.totallygorjuss.blogspot.com/ is challenging us to do stitching. I used a green glitter pen and faux stitched around all the pink bordering.

6. Anyone for Anya http://anyoneforanya.blogspot.com/ is asking for lots of layers. I think this fits that from the semi-circles to the image and the sentiment and dont forget the flower. There are quite a few layers without going overboard and making it look to busy.

Coloring - Bic Mark-its, Copics, and Stardust Glitter pens

Accessories: vintage button, ribbon from Target's $1 bin, and Pop Dots.
