new baby card

Hey there. I know its been a while but I lost some of my mojo recently and I just got it back. The only downside is that I ran out of adhesive. Oh well.

Here is my card for this lovely Monday. I made it using the sketch over at Friday Sketchers. http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ I hope you all like it.

Card details:

Image: Bugaboo Stamps (colored with Copics and Bic Mark-its)

Paper: all paper is scraps from my stash

Embellies: buttons/Making Memories, Flowers/Prima, Dew Drops

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.

Card Details:

Image - Miss Anya Love - the Greeting Farm

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

Paper - Core'dinations Cardstock and Making Memories DP

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

My dear friend Dee gave me this blog award recently and I completely spaced posting it, so I am doing it now. I am so appreciative of her acknowledging me because to be honest I don't think I'm that good at this card stuff. LOL.




This is what Miss Dee had to say about me.
Jessica - who is such a fun gal!! I just had the chance to meet her near her hometown and she took me to her favorite stamping shops and we enjoyed a nice cup of coffee on such a pretty day! I'm so glad we got a chance to meet and I look forward to hanging out with you again, soon! Big hugs to you, Sweetie!

Well THANK YOU Dee and I too had a blast hanging out and I can't wait to do it again.

So many challenges

Hey there everyone and Happy Monday. First off I want to say Happy Birthday to my beautiful son AJ who is turning 3 today. I can't beleive how grown up he is.

Now onto the card and the challenges. This card fit 7 challenges. That is a record for me.

1. The sketch challenge over at Inspirational Card Sketches http://icsketches.blogspot.com/ is what I used to create the card with.

2. Over at Digital Tuesday http://digitaltuesdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ we were challenged to create something representing either April Flowers or April Showers. I used flowers.

3. Over at ABC Challenge http://abc-challenge.blogspot.com/ we were challenged to use sparkle. I used sparkly paper and bling. I also added it to the image but the camera didnt pick it up.

4. Over at Fab & Funky http://fabnfunkychallenges.blogspot.com/ we were to use old and neglected stash. The neglected stash I used was the papers and the bling. The papers were scraps that had been sitting for quite some time.

5. Over at the Prarie Fairy challenge blog http://prairiefairyfridays.blogspot.com/ we were challenged to distress something. I took the Gemstones Core'dinations scraps that I had and distressed the edges of the papers. With the other Core'dinations scraps I embossed them and sanded the embossing and then distressed the edges.

6. At Kaboodle Doodles http://kaboodledoodles.blogspot.com/ the challenge was to emboss. I used my Cuttlebug and the Swiss dots folder on the Core'dinations scraps.

7. Over at the Cuttlebug Spot http://thecuttlebugspot.blogspot.com/ we were told to use our fave flower (and of course embossing). I love wildflowers and that is what I thought the image and the Primas represented.



Card Details:
Paper - Core'dinations
Image - Bugaboo Stamps (colored with Bic Mark-its & Copics)
Accents - embossing (Swiss Dots - Cuttlebug), Prima Flowers, misc. bling

Good Afternoon

Hey there. I'm stopping by the Wednesday to show off my newest creation which was used for a couple challenges.

The first challenge is from Cinema Saturday Challenge Blog http://cinemasaturdaycreativechallenge.blogspot.com/ and it is to make a card inspired by the movie UP and it must include balloons. Well I'll tell you, creating a house like Carl & Ellie's wasnt easy. However, adding Russell and Dug was.

The next challenge is from the Nutshells Challenge #13 over at http://nutcrafters-nutshells.blogspot.com/ and it was to make a shaped card and mine is shaped like a house (as well as I can do).

Well thanks for stopping by and looking.
