Color Challenge



Color challenge card for this week. I really am not that happy with this card and I really didn't want to post it. Something is just not right about it to me. I don't like to waste cardstock so I went ahead and finished it but its a so- so card. LOL. The colors this week were Kraft, Pomagranite and white.

It's been awhile

Sorry I haven't been blogging. I have made a few things but I am saving them to use as gifties and don't want to show them off yet. I did alter this making Memories album a few days ago and I can show it. It has no stamping on it and I am not sure who I am giving it to yet.

Sketch challenge



Sketch challenge from SCS # 149. I figured I could get as many new images on one card as possible LOL. No , I just saw a way to mask off the parts that don't fit and use these cuties. I am still lovin' Figgy Pudding paper.

  • Paper: Sage Shadow, White, Figgy Pudding backgrounds
  • Inks: Versafine Black, Various markers from SU
  • Ribbon, Sakura Glue pen, Glitter, sponges
  • All stamps by Elzybells

Elzybells are in the house!

They are here! My very first Elzybells! I ordered these a few weeks ago and I finally received them. Now I am going to try and figure out what to do with them. I only chose a few to start with, I am hoping they come out with some cute ones after the holidays and I will collect them too! These were my very favorite to start with though. I originally only had 5 on my order then I just had to have that little reindeer and birdie! They are just too sweet!Off to see if I can come up with something cute.

Jody's color challenge

This morning Jody asked me if I wanted to do a color challenge with her today. She was playing with ribbon *surprise ;)* and saw 3 ribbons laying togather and liked the colors. She picked Chocolate Chip, Really Rust and Sky Blue/Bashful Blue. Well I said yuck at the first glance but then she said try it, actually she called me a wuss first. Anyway, here is what I came up with. Notice there is just a *hint* of blue in there.

  • Ink: Chocolate, rust, sky

Bella Challenge 02



Bella challenge #2 and I broke in Cosmobella. I like her alot, she reminds me of someone. I used the Cheers stamp from one of the Papertrey sets. The paper is figgy pudding by Basic Grey. I used a creative candy scallop sticker from Amuse over the top of the sentiment. I like this sketch but my measurements aren't really balanced enough for me. I need to tweak it, I actually discovered measurements were given in the posted challenge but I neglected to notice until it was too late.

  • Paper, artichoke, rose red, white. basic grey figgy pudding
  • Ink: Black, Rose, Watercolor Crayons were used to color
  • Scallop punch by SU, circle punches in 1 1/4" & 1 1/8", Creative Candy Scallop circle by Amuse

Service Announcement

I have a mini rant, or shall I say a statement/ warning:
If you are a large 6' tall over 200 lbs aging, balding, yet oddly hairy man, I beg you, Please do not go to the neighborhood gas station wearing no shirt, grey stretchy athletic shorts hiked up to your belly button, no socks no shirt and house slippers................You are scaring old ladies and small children.

Back to your regularly scheduled blogging

Magical Amuse Christmas

This is a card I made while trying to come up with a completely different idea. LOL. I actually hated the other one but I hate wasting a whole notecard so I cut it in half and used the back as a new front. The benefit from being so cheap, I mean frugal, is I can now layer more. I love to layer. It hides ribbon when you layer so there is no ribbon showing when you open a card. I used a sakura gelly roll clear glitter pen to write over the word Magical so it shimmers a little.
  • paper: Papertrey White CS, Black, Notecard from Amuse
  • Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, Basic grey for the moon
  • All stamps from Amuse
  • Ribbon is may Arts Shimmery Irredescent Woven
