TPE Challenge #45 Winter & or Christmas

Hi Everyone,

Hope this finds you all doing well. Not too many more days left for Christmas Shopping.
My entry is simple (for me) this is one of my Christmas cards that will be going into the mail. This is the first time that I have worked with Acetate. Learned alot. First thing was that my stamp stuck to the Acetate. So when I removed the stamp it blured my image. But that was ok for this project, because it gave the image the look of going sooo fast that she was a blurrrr. But then when I started coloring in I lost that. And coloring was a trip. But I think that all in all it turned out.

Here are the details for my Entry: Stamp Image from http://www.therubbercafe.com/ K-1159 Winter Fun Labrador & Kitty (I revisied the dog's tail to make it look more like my little Savannah) also from the rubber cafe is the snow (flowersoft I think is what it's called) Melissa can help you out with questions & the Acetate I got from the rubber cafe,notecards by amuse http://www.amuseartstamps.com/ Sky Blue Band, Copic markers, Background trees are also from amuse art stamps as is the Merry Christmas stamp.,ribbon & stars misc. items I had. Almost forgot the stickles in Star Dust.

Thank You for considering my entry.

Sweet Sketch Wednesday #27

Hi Everyone,

Hope this finds all doing well & staying warm. I don't understand somedays I can get a good picture then others it just doen't happen no matter how many times I take them.  This is one of those not so good days.  I hope you can make this out.

This entry has a bit of a twist to it changeable tags. Take a look.

We have a knitter in the family so I thought that this would be a good card for her.  Since the only thing that says Christmas in this card is the Merry Christmas tag.  So I wanted her to be able to keep her card out so I came up with this.

My Entry: Stamping Bella image & Copic markers the rest are scraps that I could use.

Happy Holidays to Everyone & Thank You for considering my entry.

Quixotic Challenge #5 Charming

Hi Everyone,

This is my first entry for Quixotic.  As some of you know I have been in San Diego, Ca. visiting my husband while he was there working.  Well, I of course had to make him a Christmas card before he went back to Okinawa.  It doesn't look like we will be spending Christmas or New Years together.  So this is what I was doing the night before I left to come back home.  This is my husbands plane.  He had to help me with the colors to use since I could not figure out what some of the parts of the plane were.

I used the Herky Bird digi from Sunshine Stamps, Copic markers,  Since most branches of the military have the KC-130 I did this one in the Marine Corps color.Ribbon Charm from Memories Maker,misc. ribbon & card stock.  At Christmas they paint one of the plane's nose red and someone dress as Santa and they taxi out for the kids.  Year before last I think it was my husband (Nick go figure)was Santa.

Well, that is about it.  I would like to Thank you for considering my entry.

Thank You,

DCRU Girly Challenge - C4C12

Hi Everyone,

Getting this one in just under the wire. Please click on the picture & go down to the Bow & sentement section to view.  I could not get a good picture for detail.  But it shows up nice if you enlarge from above picture.

I would like to Thank Amy @ A Thousand Sheets Of Paper.  If I had not seen her card from 19 Oct. 2009 I would not have this little girl.  Also I need to Thank Lori Boyd & Claudia again for getting me the Spellbinder before I left for San Diego.  It completed this card.  I had that space in the lower left corner that just needed something.  I had cut this for another project but it was too big to use.  So I had been holding on to it.  I  folded it a couple of times & used a few 3D squares.  This is the first time I have used the Flower Soft.  And the Stickles(I may have gone a little nuts with the Stickles) remember I'm still new to all the toys.

I also need to Thank C4C girls for this weeks challenge.  I was having a hard time coming up with a layout for the Girly Challenge & found yours today.  So Thanks.

Entry: Fidget (Sweet November Stamp), Paper From In My Minds Eye, Cuttlebug Swirls, Spellbinders Pendants Fleur De Lis, Stickles (Star Dust), Flower Soft (Heather )& Prismacolor Pencils.

This is the best I could do with the camera. This is the Flower Soft in Heather.

Thank You for considering my Entry.

TPE Challenge #41

.

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you all doing well.

My Entry's Details:

This little girl is Holly Jolly Bonnie from Digital Delights, Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder,Basicgray opaline half pearls (blues),Queen & Co. crimson pearls, red gliter pen & clear gliter pen,rhinesstones , Prismacolor pencils, Making Memories heart ribbon slide(can not find them any longer) & misc. ribbon.

 I was worried about my back circle not having a scalloped edge and putting my embelishment on the opp. side of the card than what Lori had done.I started this project before the Design Team had posted their samples Since I'm still green at this I see that I may be taking the challenge directions tooo literal. Once I saw what the DT came up  with. But all in all I 'm happy with the way she came out. You all have a good rest of the week.

DP2 Challenge #6

Hi Everyone,

Hope this finds you all doing well.

This challenge couldn't have come at a better time.  I've had this guy for awhile and had just started coloring when this challenge was posted.  These two remind me of my Savannah & Ethan (3yr. nephew).(for those of u who pay special att. to details I do know that I did Savannah's face oppisite of what it is in real life)

About My Entry: I'm on the road so before I left home I printed some of my Digis since I did not know if I would be able to print.  And of course I cut them in squares.  But I left enough room to convert into a round without it looking to bad. Well, I've just tried to find the name of this image by Mo, but did not have any luck.  I have the laptop so alot of my info. is not available. I have used We R memory keepers Urban Window Collection Diner Jukebox paper. I use both sides of paper for this card. Making Memories ribbon charm, Ribbon from Walmart, Robins Nest dew drops,  sticker by7gypsis from the Joy card,sticker is mounted on CuttleBug die Cut, brown dot paper I could not find a name for  & I used Prismacolor Pencils.

Thank you for considering my entry.

DCRU Embossing Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you all doing well.  I love this Mo.  I have a picture of my Dad & Savannah singing Happy Birthday.  And Savannah looks just like puppy in Jingle Bells . I would have added it, but it's not stored on the laptop.

My Entry: Image Mo's Jingle Bells, White & Black cardstock, Red cardestock Stampin Up & BoBunny Sugar Dot item #125D550,Cuttlebug Embossing Folder Allegro,Ribbon Offray 907GG Swissdot Red 5,Robins Nets Dew Drops , Making Memories Ribbon Charm & Liquid  Applique.  I used Prismacolor Pencils & Stampin Up Scallop punch.

This project has way more embossing than what you can tell. Going with a easel card designe created a problem with the embossing folder I used.   Kept coming out upside down or backwards.  I added embossed blk. card stock.  That did not look right ,added embossed red cardstock.  Still did not like. Embossing did not show up on the on the blk/wht dot.  Added the wht. embossed.  So there are realy 5 layers of embossing.   But as it turned out, when you remove the card from it's emvelope you get a hint at what's inside when you open the card up.
So it all turned out in the end.  I hope everyone has a good rest of the week.

Thank You for considering my entry.

TPE #40 Be Thankful Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I hope this finds you all doing well.  I'm on the road again, this time San Diego, Ca.

Hubby has left for the Base (USMC Airstation Mira Mara) someone has to go to work and make money to pay for all my supplies. It has been a little strange doing challenges on the road.  Since this time I traveled by air. Not like my Atlanta trip where I drove and could take everything but the kitchen sink with me.  Was not sure when I checked my supplies in at the airport what I would find when I landed.  But everything seems to have traveled well. Wished I would have packed my THANK YOU cuttlebug embossing folder would have worked well with this weeks challenge.  But  I'm happy with what I turned out. San Diego area  was our last Duty Station before Nick was sent to Oki. so I knew where I could find back up supplies if needed(LOL). And now looking at my entry most of what I used to make this one I got since I've been here.  Now for my Entry.

I used Unity Stamp "Shine On!" stamp,Writing is mine around the border (Thankful for you),BoBunny a gift of Love Sugar Dot item #12SD550 & Mellow Yellow Dot item #12MYD635 paper, Light blue cardstock & Black cardstock, Making memories rectangle variety pack 2 " 3 ribbon charms" & the ribbon I do not know. I picked it up at Cool Scrapbook Stuff here in Poway (http://www.coolscrapbookstuff.com/), Rhinestone Strips Basics by Kaisercraft & Dew Drops dd-17 mens,, I used a scallop punch from stampin up for the bottom.

When I glued the Mellow yellow paper to the card I put it on the inside back of the card instead of the back of the front of the card. But when you stood the card up it did not show. So scince we just had a Easel Card Challenge for C4C. I was playing with doing a version of that without using more cardstock than what I had used to make the card. I glued the bottom front and back of the card together. Then went to the top of the card and cut the card apart(the fold) And this is what I came up with. It is a little off balance because of the ribbon charm being heavy. It works but if you use a heavy item on the card it would be better to have the back support come up at least 1/2 the way up the back of the card. Well, that's it. I can't wait to see what you all come up with for next weeks challenge (more shopping?) Everyone enjoy the rest of your week.

Thank You for considering my entry.

C4C10 Easel Card

Hi From San Diego

I'm so glad that you did this challenge.  It gives me a new way to display my babies.  That's what I call them.  When Nick first saw them he asked if I was sending everyone a different card.? I was shocked, what send them "these are my babies".  I know, those of you who have been doing this for awhile are laughing."she will get over that".   Any way here's my entry for the easel challenge

First I would like to THANK Lori Boyd & Claudia @ DCRU for getting me the Spellbinders Pendant Die Cut I used.  Lori had used it for one of our samples & I wanted to get it.  But I got a last min. call from my husband that he was going to San Diego to pick up an airplane to take back to Oki.  so the girls got together and got the Die Cut to me before I left  in 3 days.

The image I used is one of Mo's.  It's her  Skating.  And of course if there's a dog in anything and it could be converted into some what looking like my Savannah.  I had just got the liquid app. when I did this card & loved playing so I may have gone a bit  overboard with it. I used prismacolor pencils, light blue cardstock & brown suade.  Spellibinders Pendant Die Cut from DCRU.  I'm still having trouble with Mo's scarfs.  So I didn't like what I had come up with for puppy's scarf.  So I cut little,little circles out and glued them on.  I loved how it turned out but really do not want to have to do that again.  

Well, that is it. I hope everyone has a good week.

Thank You for considering my entry.

DCRU Challenge Nest Somehting

Hi Everyone,

Surprise it's not a Bella. I'd like to introduce you to Lilly Hot Cocoa  http://www.pinkcatstudio.com/ digi stamp.  I found her when I was looking for Coffee Kiki. Sheir Gilson's Sample card for this weeks Pink Elephant challenge.  I never did find Kiki.  If you go looking for Lilly look her up by her name because my Lilly looks nothing like the orig.,then I used Spellbinder Pendant Kaleidoscope, Lilly is mounted on the Lg. die cut ( 2 )

Flower is the center of the Kaleidoscope Die Cut

 Paper used is My Minds Eye Be Merry Candy Stripes Item #BM1001 & Sweet Sprinkles Item #BM1007, ribbon lg. circle from Rubber Stamp Fantasy in Mariette, GA., Brown Poke-a-dot from Wallyworld & liquid Applique.

I had to go back over the Applique because I decided after I had applied the applique the first time to cut out Lilly.  So that messed up the applique.  Well, that is it.  Everyone have a good rest of the week.  And Thank You for considering my entry.

Pink Enlephant Challange #39

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I know another Bella.  You don't know how close I came to entering a diff. card that was not a Bella.  But that one was making me nuts trying to get yellow to work.  Then I remembered this little Bella.  She was my first. So I did not have my Copics or  Prismacolor Pencils yet. I think that she was done with Sharpies. But she's still one of my favorits.

 

I used glass charms that can be taken off to use. Well, everyone have a good week.

  Thank you for considering my entry.

C4C8

Hey Ya All,

Another Stamping Bella.  She is one of my FAVORITES. Can't beleive how well she fits in to my dining room.  Not after all my failed attempts at trying to make a card for that room.

I used K&Company 24 sheet double sided 12x12 paper pack. It's the Tim Coffee Fall collection,Starbucks Coffee Bag, Cuttlebug Swirls Embossing Folder & Vintage Die Cut.

I used a rectangle shape for Bella, Circle with the Starbucks Symbol & a Square that the Starbucks Symbol is mounted on. I think that I have all the different shapes required. I 'm not sure what shape the Coffee Beans fell under.  And yes they are real coffee beans. Nick(husband)said it must have killed me to part with those 4 coffee beans.  The closest Starbucks is 50 miles one way from us here on the farm. Everyone have a good rest of the week & weekend.  I found a Shop when I went to visit my husband this past weekend.  I have pictures below my TPE challenge entry.  Check them out.

Thank you for considering my entry.

TPE Challenge #38 Ella's Kitchen

Hi Everyone,

Well, Savannah & I made it home from Atlanta late last night. (Driving in the rain & fog was lots of fun)

Continue to bottom for all the info. on my entry.  Had to show off hubby.

Nick (husband) made it as far as Atlanta late Friday night. So that we could spend more time together I went down to Atlanta. Why I'm telling you all this is because I found a Shop online in Marietta. Rubber Stamp Fantasy. Pictures Below my Challenge if you would like to check them out.

Now for my entry.

Black, Hardware & Distressing

I used a few of the items that I bought at Rubber Stamp Fantasy.

Ribbon, Sm. Airplane stamp (Memory Box), Hardware, Tattered Angles Glimmer Mist in Frost & Antique Brass, Lg. Eiffel Tower Stamp(challis & ross) from Michaels &Cuttlebug Embossing Folder

Stamping Bella Image done on Vellum. Stamp Front & Color on Back w/pencils.  I did this when I was Scrap Booking alot.  Forgot about it until I saw a sample card in Rubber Stamp Fantasy & one of the customers asked how it was done & they were showing her how.  Distressing on the Eiffel  Tower Image was done with a heating tool & Glimmer Mist.  As you can see it gets hot enough that you could set your project on fire.  So do this near a sink where if you get it too hot you can get it under water fast. 

Sorry this was so long but I think that I have covered every thing.  So everyone have a nice rest of the week & a good weekend.  From what I'm hearing our weekend here will be wet.  So it lools like a card making weekend.  Don't forget to check out the pictures from Rubber Stamp Fantasy below.

Thank you for considering my entry.
