S2G Challenge #67 Sunner Accessory

SORRY I'M LATE !!!!

Hi, everyone. I just got back to a real computer system.  It took over a hour at Mom & Dad's to just get the Blog page to come up.  So I decided to wait till I got back to my house to even try and post.  This is my last card as Guest Designer for S2G.  It has been lots of fun!  Thank You Ladies for inviting me to join the team this month.  I saw your stamps in a few of the stores that I hit while in San Diego & then found you in Cincinnati when I got back to Mom & Dad's.  I'm comming off the design team just in time to be able to play for some of the new Digis.  If your visiting my blog & have not seen the new releases over at S2G's you have got to go over and check them out.  They are sooooo cute!!!!!!  While your there you might as well join in on this weeks challenge never know you might win one of the new releases.

Good Luck to all who play this week.

Quixotic Challenge #33 Mini Card

http://www.quixoticpaperie.blogspot.com/

Hello Everyone

Hope this finds all doing better than I am.  Have had a mirgraine since I've arrived in San Diego.  Due to partly my neck.  Poor Nick having to put up with me & my migraine.  But have managed to get a few cards done.  This is my first try at coloring/painting with Tim Holtz's Destressing Inks.  I'm happy with how my guy turned out but may have gotten a little heavy with the girls shorts.  But not bad for my first time.  Or at least I think. Well, I had better get on with my entry details while I can still see to type.

Entry Details

Image is one of Mo's called Just a Knot

in order to meet the 3in requirment for a min card I had to cut the bottom off.  This is a really cute image. Hubby thought that it was one of us.  Since he complains about having to unknot my line when we go fishing.

Tim Holtz's Destressing Inks to color

Glammour dust &yes I would wear a sparkle top to go fishing. I know princess!!! 

Gloss Accents for the water that you can barley see in the lower right hand corner.

Color Me Copics challenge #1 Black & White/ CAS #13 Summer/Crafty Creations#77 Sweet

Hello

Hope this finds all doing well.  I hope you like what I did for the black & white challenge. One card 3 challenges. I'm calling this Summer in Scotland.  If you have ever been to Scotland you would understand. And this little guy is just too Sweet/Happy for Crafty Creations challenge. 

 When I was cutting out the image so it would meet the no larger than 3in. for the mini card I fell for the back of my colored image.  Maybe it's because I came from a watercoloring back ground.  This is not the first time that the back of my colored image has been used for the card.  Now on to the details of my entry. Thank You for considering my entry.

Day 2 of Amy's San Diego Adventure

Hi Everyone

Well, the weather in sunny San Diego isn't !  So when hubby got in from work we went shopping on the way to the casino.  Shopping is my fun & the 3 card poker is hubby's.

So I picked up a few things that I needed. 

This is my 2nd haul from hubby's winnings.  Like I said the casino is hubby's thing.  I go over to the Food Court & find a table & draw or color while he's at the table.  I go check in & get

the $25.00  & up chips from him & cash them in & then take off again. Last night this lady at the table blamed me for the table going cold. So I kind of got my nose out of joint.  I left & went to the gift shop & took my revenge.

Like the braclet?  I did get a good deal on it.  it started out at $300.00 and something but it was 70% off.  I went back to the table & the lady who complained about me was gone & hubby had a stack of $100.00 chips in front of him.  So you know I couldn't get my hands on them fast enough & get to the cashiers cage with them.  I did let him keep one.  He had a bunch of the $5.00 chips already. But the next time I went back to the table everyone who had been there including hubby had left.  So I tracked him down over in the slots area.  Pretty soon after I found him we left for home.  After all we had been there for 5hrs. And Amy's & my fun meter was peged out.  Not sure what we have planned for today.  The weather is overcast & I do have some cards that I need to get done if I'm going to make challenge cut off times.  Maybe I will take Amy out some place nice for a bite to eat.

See you all later!

Hello From San Diego!

Well, made it to San Diego last night. And for those of you who knew that I was on my way to San Dieg I was not on the aircraft that hit rough air in Denver.  The card you see is one that I bought from Amy's Card Shop http://www.1000sheetscardshop.blogspot.com/

Amy was wishing that she could make the trip to San Daigo.  So since the real Amy couldn't make it.  I thought that I would bring Bathing Amy"the name I gave my card" so throughout the week I will be posting pictures of Amy on her San Diego trip.  She had to pack light so she wiil not be changing outfits.  I had to make room for my card making supplies. Hubby is at work durning the day so I have to have something to do at the hotel.  Well, take care talke to you all later & have a good rest of the day.

SS No Time #148 / Mo's #40 Masculine

Hello !

I think that Mo must have my phone bugged.  As you can see we have our own little "Jack -n- The Beans"  in the family.  This is Ethan our 4yr old.  He didn't trade a cow to get his magic beans.  He just got my Dad's "Grandpaw's" bean seeds & corn. He planted them in my Mom's flower bed.  Since the corn was needed it got removed from the flower bed & they got most of the beans.  But as you can see not all.  My Mom had just got finished telling me the story when I found this over at Mo's.  So I called Mom & had her take a picture of Ethan & his beans.  Mom has a Birthday in Aug.  so I decided to do this as her Birthday card from Ethan.  I know!!! Mo's Challenge is for a Masculine card & I'm using it for Mom.  But it just seemed to be the right thing.  She will get a girly card from me.  Not that I have told you a short story I will get on with the details of my entry. 

Thank You for stopping by.

TPE Challenge #75 Pocket Card

Hello Everyone

Hope this finds all doing well.  We are having rain today.  Thank God!! It has cooled things down so I have not had to have the air on.  Today's Post has lots of pictures (Big Surprize) & Name droping. I ran across Jo Capper-Sandon's Blog  http://jocappersandon.blogspot.com/  awhile back & fell in love with her work. But am just now getting around to making anything using her stamps.  You should go over and check out her work. I wish that I would have thought about giving my card a vintage look at the start. Didn't think about it till I started doing the tags. But I think it still turned out.

  Well, I had better get on with the details of  my entry.  Thank You for stopping by.  Have a good week everyone!

Guess what I've been invited to be the Guest Designer for July at S2G.  And if you couldn't tell by all the places that I have posted the news I'm Sooo Excited!!!

I was sent this image to work with for this weeks Challenge. The theme for July is Summer & Travel with a Twist.  This weeks Twist is Sparkle.  The only thing wrong with "Sparkle" is it is hard to get in a picture.  But don't worry if you can't get it to show up in your picture.  They trust you have it on your project.  So get on over to

S2G  at http://s2gpapercraftingcontest.blogspot.com/ and join in the fun.
