Birthday Girl





Creative Knockouts has another challenge
The theme is ANYTHING GOES. 
YEEEEEE HAAAAAAA

Our Sponsor for this challenge is 


For my card, I am using the image, Mail Box Kitties. The sentiment is also from Imaging that.  I used markers on the image. I cut a number of flags in different sizes from coordinating colored cs.  I framed the image in mint as well as the sentiment.  I added a bit of  'Wink of Stella' on the sentiment to give it just a wee bit of added pop.   The dotted paper is from Recollections.  Everything was added to a side fold dark pink cs base.

Hello Everyone, 
It's time for a new challenge at
IF YOU GIVE A CRAFTER 
A COOKIE

The cookie inspiration for this challenge is 


For my card, I found some pencil graphics and colored them with marker in the rainbow. I then cut the sentiment with a scallop circle by Sizzix and cut that almost in half.  I edged the scallop with all of the distressed inks of the rainbow.  The front panel is so cute by DCWV and is also Mylar (which the picture does not pick up) tons of shine.  I added a pink satin bow across the bottom and added a couple of acrylic gems.  All placed on a top fold black cs base.

I hope you have fun playing along with our inspiration cookies.

For my card, I started with kraft cs and I used a die from Penny Black to edge with a scallop daisy.  I then laid a piece of paper down the middle.  The sentiment was stamped with a clear stamp by ArtC and I used clear embossing powder   I wrapped the brown baker's twine around the bottom and added a gold puffy foil leaf piece and gold Neuvo Drops.  This was all added to a front panel of cs from DCWV and finished with a side fold kraft cs base

Bear Garden





Hello I have a new card for the challenge at

The theme this round is school related or tea/coffee.

and our sponsor for this round is

and








For my card, I am using the image by Morgan's Art World and I used all markers on the image.  I trimmed it down and framed it a couple of times.  The background mint dotted cs if from Core'dinations and has a great texture to it.  The scroll work, I have no idea where it came from.  I cleaned my craft room and found it on the bottom of a scrap box that was hiding for a very long time.  I would have to assume that it's a cricut cut from long ago.  The sentiment was edged and blended with cracked pistachio and hickory smoke distressed inks.  All was set on a mink cs side fold base.

I hope you have fun playing along with us on this challenge and I wish you the best of luck as well.

Thanks for stopping by.

Miss You


Hello, I have a card for
USE YOUR STUFF CHALLENGE.

The theme for this challenge is a Mood Board.



For my card, I'm using an image from Bugaboo.  I was immediately taken by that cute chocolate lab in the basket.  He so sweet.  I also pulled all of those warm colors and connected that with a piece of card stock from a new pad by Tim Holtz 'Abandoned'.    It is amazing.  The puppy was colored with maker and then again in water color.  Then I blended the edges with Vintage Photo distressed ink.  A burlap flower with a couple of smaller paper flowers and it's all good to go on a side fold kraft cs base.

I hope  you have fun playing along with the challenge.

Owl Tweets


Hello ... it's time for a new challenge at

Stinkin' Inkers
The theme for this month is a fancy fold card.

When I started this project, I was originally going with a Z fold with butterflies in blue and lavender.  My Muse had other plans and it changed totally.
The papers are all from a Recollections mini pad called Paddywack.  I started with an olive green base and it just went crazy from there. The owl stamps and dies are a set from MFTs. The scalloped half-circle is from Sizzix. The sentiment on the front is stamped with gold embossing powder.  The clear gemstones are from Lucy's Cards.  The paper flowers are from Recollections.

The inside of the card uses the same paper set from Recollections and the same stamp/die set from MFTs. I edged the sentiment tweets with coordinating distress inks.

I hope you have fun playing along this month.  I like playing with different folds.





Thanks for stopping by.

Heart Song

We have a double theme this round.
Sketch and or Tic Tac Toe

Here are the sketch  and the tic tac toe board for this challenge
