Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #100

WOW!  Can you believe it . . . #100 at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!  HOORAY for Priscilla!!

I had a LOT of fun creating today's card.  This is one of Priscilla's new images and I just ADORE it!  I also decided to go with the CAS sketch this week ... I wanted to bring FOCUS to this image and not all the extra layers & bling that I have a habit of adding to my creations sometimes.  The dps used are K&Company and are left overs from the Tissue Box Covers I've been working on.  Stampin' Up inks were used to sponge around the image . . . I really like the outcome ... what do you think?

 (click on image to enlarge)
See ... didn't I tell you this was an adorable image?  And I really like this sketch today too ... I thought they worked perfectly together!
Please be sure to pop on over to the challenge blog ... check out all the amazing inspiration there from the MM Design Team as well as the PS Design Team.  Then join in the fun ...  Can't wait to see YOUR creation!

Thanks for stopping!

Masculine Retirement Creations

Here it is Saturday ... been raining all day ... so I'm crafting!  

Hubby asked me to create (with his help) a retirement card for his boss who just bought a cabin (huge) in the Tennessee mountains where he & his wife will be retiring too next month.  I didn't get a photo of that particular card ... but did keep crafting and made two more retirement/ masculine cards for my craftshow 'stash'.



Both cards were created using Stampscapes Rubber Stamps and Versafine black ink.  Coloring was done mainly with chalks but there are a few touches which were colored with a Prismacolor marker. If you notice the ROCKS on the inside of the cards.  The first card I colored the rocks with chalk ... the second card was done with the marker.  Quite a difference.


 (click on any image to enlarge)

I find Stampscapes to be the perfect stamps to create Masculine cards.  The outdoors always appeals to the guys so I try to take the time and create something a little SPECIAL for them.

I hope you enjoyed these two creations ... I know I enjoyed making them.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful remainder of your weekend!
Hugs,
Darlene

Joan's Gardens Card Challenge #14 + bonus creation

This week's card challenge at Joan's Gardens had me stumped for awhile but I think I have all the requirements covered.  Speaking of the requirements for this week's challenge ... here they are:

  1. Color challenge : orange, red, and green
  2. Die Cut circle - any kind
  3. Design paper with lines
  4. Use a bird or something from Nature
 (click on image to enlarge)

My first concern was the color combination and went to my packs of Basic Grey designer paper for that.  Then I saw the "lined" piece of designer paper in my scrap stack so grabbed that.  Next came what type of Bird to use as a focus and found this perfect specimen on the Crafty Secrets 'Altered Fairies' Creative Scraps.  My circles were created from the Spellbinder Lacy Circles.  I embellished with one K&Co. dp homemade flower, MS frond punch leaves and satin ribbon from Michaels.  For a little extra dimension, I've used Tim Holtz 'tea dye' distress ink around the edges of the lacy circles.

* * * * *

Earlier today I created this card for the challenge over on Picture and Scrap then realized I was too late to enter since a new challenge came up today!  But I'd still like to share it with you here.
(click on image to enlarge)
I just LOVE how this came together.  I had this beautiful background paper from the Pinkpaislee 'Butterfly Garden collection' cut and ready for an A-6 card but never completed it until today.  This image I thought was PERFECT with this paper.  After a little distressing and adding homemade vellum flowers/MS vine border, all it needed was a warm sentiment.  With Easter right around the corner ... that was my sentiment choice for today.

I hope you've enjoyed my cards today and thanks so much for stopping by!  Don't forget to check out my SPRINGTIME BLOG CANDY which runs through Memorial Day.  


Have a GREAT weekend!

Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge #52

Are you ready??  

It's time again for the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge!  Today's challenge is a fun 'color challenge' and hosted by Mariska.


I thought with this wonderful color combination this adorable image (Fairies Collection ) would be perfect!  What do you think?

 (click on image to enlarge)


I have used Prismacolor markers for my coloring and the Martha Stewart lacy butterfly & butterfly border were just the perfect embellishments in my mind!

Have a wonderful day and fabulous weekend! 
Hugs to you!

Tag Challenge Time at Joan's Gardens

Every Tuesday there's a Tag Challenge over at Joan's Gardens and I have such a good time joining in the fun!  There's no prize offered other then having plenty of tags for those special gift giving times.  Also, you might be commented by your fellow tag makers as there is voting each week on the entries.  Here's what I've created for this week's challenge . . .

 My teacup was cut from a piece of scrap designer paper with the Sizzix Tea Cut Die.  The tag (teabag) is also cut from the same die.

The steam was created using the Heartfelt Creations HCPC2253 Flourish Backgrounds Stamp set.  

The handmade flowers were created using vellum and the tutorial over on Selma Stevenson's Blog.

If you haven't joined in on the tag fun yet ... now's the time!  Can't wait to be inspired by YOUR creation!  BTW ... items highlighted in bold print were purchased through Joan's Gardens ... be sure to check out what's available in her shop!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail . . .

. . . YEP ... Easter is early this year and will be here before you know it!  Today I'd like to share with you the card I made yesterday for the Sugar Creek Hollow Challenge ... 'Vintage Easter'.

 (click on image to enlarge)


Isn't this image adorable?  It comes from the Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps 'Easter' sheet.  They are actually 2 different images from the sheet which I put together.  The background designer paper is from Graphic45 'On The Boardwalk' 8x8 paper pack.  The ribbon is from Michael's and I've used the Bow-Easy to make my bow.

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!  It's been a pretty 'quiet' weekend here ... so I'll probably do some more crafting to share with you later in the week!  


Hugs,

Joan's Gardens and Crafty Secrets

WOW is it Thursday already?  
Where is the week going?  

I hope you are having a wonderful week!  Today I'm pleased to share with you the creations I've made for this week's Joan's Gardens Challenges #13.  First is the TAG challenge which has no prize other than your peers voting on your creation ... great fun!  I haven't had the 'winning' tag yet, but I'll keep trying!! 

I have been working on several more tissue box covers so decided to look into my pile of scraps as my starting point for today's tag. 


I've actually been able to use ALL SCRAPS for this tag.  The ovals were ALL in my 'Nesties Oval Box' and the flowers are extras cut from tissue box scraps that I had laying on my work table.  The only extra is the little 'bunny' stamp from The Stamp Pad which was coloring with Prismacolor markers.  Faux stitching was done around the stamped image as well as around the tag itself.  A very quick & easy tag but I think it came out great!  Hmmmm ... now I have to come up with an Easter present to use it on!!  LOL!


Also over at Joan's Gardens this week is her CARD challenge.  This week here are the requirements:
  • Use an embossing folder
  • Use something die cut
  • Use something dimensional
  • Monochromatic w/splash of color
(click image to enlarge)
I received my order from Joan last week with my new Cheery Lane French Pastry 4x4 doily die and couldn't wait to use it for today's card.  Behind this beautify doily die I have used a 'scrap' piece cut from K&Co. designer paper using the Spellbinder Nestabilities beaded circle die.  It helped to give just a hint of color between the two panels of white.  The flowers again were created from scraps on my worktable using the "Sakuras" punch for the flower and the "Sky Flake" for the stamen.  Both punches can be purchased at Joan's Gardens.  The sentiment is from Stampendous Clear Stamps.


*  *  *  *  *
This week for the Crafty Secrets challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers, Lori Lynn has ask us to express in a card what we love about 'Spring'.
 
(click on image to enlarge)
The first thing I notice in the spring is the 'return' of the robins in my yard.  That ALWAYS puts a smile on my face.  Although I know it may be a sign of EARLY spring ... it is still a sign of warmer weather to come.


The image for this card is from the Crafty Secrets Bird & Botanical booklet.  The designer paper is K&Co. which was used for my background as well as the flowers.  Another very easy, peasy creation but one that 'says it all'!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful remainder of the week!  Enjoy!

Hugs,
Darlene

Morgan's 19th and more Tissue Box Covers

Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  Ours was both fun and productive.

Granddaughter Morgan turned 19 last week and with work & school schedules ... we weren't able to get together until Saturday afternoon.  My daughter always makes the kids their FAVORITE meal for their birthday get together and one of Morgan's is called Baked Tacos and "Boy Was It Good!"   It's all the fixings for a taco but layered in a baking dish and baked in the oven ... (wished I had thought to take a picture!)

And for her birthday cake, Carolyn made her a Mandarin Orange Cake with Pineapple Whipped Cream icing!  YUMMO!! 

(Mother & Daughter being silly!)
We decided a good gift for Morgan this year was HER OWN GPS.  Anytime she's venturing away from home she has to borrow her mother's so we decided it was time for her to have one of her own.  By the look on her face I think she liked the idea too!


These kids certainly grow up tooooooo fast . . . gee I sound like my mother! LOL!  Here's a photo of Morgan with boyfriend, C.J.  If you are a follower of my blog, you will know that C.J. is the young man who had the horrible car crash last March that nearly killed him!  He's still having to use a brace on his one leg for support in walking and I believe is still doing therapy but it's only by the grace of God that he's even here to celebrate Morgan's birthday this year!
 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET MORGAN!!
* * * * *
Yes, I've been going crazy making Tissue Box Covers!  They seem to be selling very well so I've made a few more over the weekend.









I think these will be a good 'craft show' item so will be continuing 'production' on these!  The instructions I have used are from Splitcoast Stampers and can be seen HERE.  I have 'tweeked' it a bit to suit my needs but the basis is there if you'd like to 'give it a whirl'.  I promise NOT to share ALL of the ones I'll be making with you ... but if there's a special one that I think you'd be interested in then of course I'll be sharing it. 

Have a wonderful week!  It's VERY WINDY and storming here in N.E. Ohio but the temperature is up in the 60's and I'm LOVIN' IT!! 

OH AND BY THE WAY . . . any of you LOCAL CRAFTERS who might be attending Adventures in Stamping in Akron . . . April 16th & 17th and would like to LINK UP ... please leave me a comment and/or an email address.  

It's been so much fun in the past to meet in person some of my online crafting friends who happen to be attending AIS and I'd love to meet more of you!  Just let me know!!  I have tickets for BOTH DAYS!! 

Hugs,
Darlene
