Anything Goes Challenge

New Anything Goes (AG) Challenge started today, head on over to http://ttcrd.blogspot.co.uk/ for a chance to win wonderful crafty prizes!

You Know How to..

You know how to make me smile! Give me a beautiful image to color, some time to myself and card making supplies! I am a happy girl! Today I made this card using up more awesome scraps from my scrap box, and playing with a few die punches. I have been trying to be more creative with backgrounds in my images. On this design I used a flower die punch, and some distressed ink to give the illusion of flowers in the foreground, then with what I call the speckle technique I added in some grass, hand drawn in some clouds and speckled some shades of blue for the sky, topped it off with a flock of birds in the distance. I look forward to mailing her off to someone special!

Blooming Day

I started this card yesterday sifting through my scrap box for paper designs to go together in complimenting shades of summer time. I used my Copic markers to color the images, I added some sparkle to the the flower and the water pouring from the watering can. I used my Cuttlebug and a decorative folder for my embossed background and the yellow stripe across. Using a flower punch I created a stencil to use on the greeting to give it a hint of blooming flowers. Finished it off with some distressed ink around the edges of the image. 

Dragon Kite Flying

Today I needed a card for Father's Day. I remembered my father showing me how to fly my first kite as a child so I picked Dragon Kite Flying as my image for this card. I hope he likes it! 

Happy Father's Day to all the Father's out there!

Berry Sassy Birthday!

Today I made this card using Sassy Studio Designs image. I just found out that Sassy is closing her doors and will not be providing us with her amazing talent no more. This is such sad news as I love her images! 

Here's to you Sassy girl! Thank you for all of your hard work and providing us with such amazing images to play with! 

Panda Tire Cover

Whipped up this Panda Tire cover using my Silhouette Cameo machine for the Panda lover. Isn't it cute! It is going on this black and white jeep for someone who hopes to be a Panda Veterinarian one day. :)

Anysoldier Summer Card Swap 2016

Anysoldier.com Card Swap Summer 2016 event has arrived! It was time to whip up my set of 20 cards real quick like before checking my post office to see who has sent me cards for the swap. I decided since participation has dwindled from about 20 participants to less than 10 that I would make 20 cards but in 4 different designs. I didn't want to add a lot of fufu stuff, in hopes to keep them simple enough for a soldier to just write in and send to their loved ones. I colored them with your typical Crayola brand colored pencils in a hurry so don't look for the imperfections please. :) 

My favorite rubber stamps are these from House Mouse designs. They are so adorable dont you think?

Deco Rubber Gloves

My first attempt at creating decorative rubber gloves. I joined the pen pal wagon on Facebook and one of my pen friends sent me some chain letters. In each letter you are to send different items to the first person on the list. You remove their name from the list move the 2nd name up and place your name as the 2nd name. Eventually you should receive a pair of gloves or whatever the item is in the chain letter. In this case, it is rubber gloves. At first thought I was like rubber gloves? Why? But then I researched Pinterest for ideas to make your ordinary rubber glove extraordinary! 

I found the gloves at Dollar Tree, the ribbon and tulle were purchased at Hobby Lobby, and the table cloth fabric I used was from a table cloth I purchased at Wal-Mart. 

Want to make one for yourself or a friend click the link below for a link to directions!

Fifi at The Outlawz

Over at The Outlawz in their Progressive Freebie Challenge they gave this adorable image to play with for the May challenge.  I colored with copic markers add tulle, pink ribbon, some glitter to her wings, outline her eyes with a fine tip black pen, and dotted with a white speck to give her eyes more dimension. 

Happy Mother's Day

Finished a card for The Outlawz Progressive Freebie challenge in memory of my mother. Love & Miss you so much, Mom!

Break A Leg

This card I designed for a friend who recently injured her leg. I seem to have had a few friends have either foot, leg or knee surgery in the last few months. I have a box full of scrap papers dating back to when my card making hobby began in 2008. With every card I make, I pick through my scrap paper stash and try to put together papers that one might not normally put together just to use up this large scrap stash. It seems to have worked out well so far. I still have a lot of papers to use up, but after the last few cards I have created by using my stash I am able to get the lid back on to the box again. Yay! 

For this card I handdrawn a leg, cut it out to wrap in ribbon, that was the hardest part of the entire process. Trying to find the right ribbon to look like a cast, most everything else I used in the card was already pre cut no trimming needed except the flowery paper had to be trimmed up evenly. I embellished with some heart and dragonfly stickers, added some little lines to show the flight path of the dragonfly. I found these tiny little flowers that I have saved from a punch I used and tacked them on with a dot of glue. I ended up putting a center dot of pink in each flower and added sparkly gems on each corner of the inside sentiment piece. 

I think it turned out ot be a fun colorful Get Well Soon card. 

Happy Good Friday!

It is a great Friday I had a chance to whip up an Easter Card! Using some scraps here and there I whipped up a quick card for the Progressive Freebie Challenge over at The Outlawz Challenges. I felt a little funky so I glammed up his glasses and gave him some stylin' fur on his ears and tummy! On the inside I felt it needed to be prettied up as well and again with some scraps I had a decorative place to write a sentiment in no time!  

Happy Recipient!

This last Christmas, I received a Heat Press. For one of my first projects I personalized this pillow pet for my Great Niece Samantha's Birthday on February 13th. She absolutely loves her Kitty Pillow Pet!
