DCRU #35 Earth Day / Tiddly Inks Challenge #1 / Quixotic #22 Splish Splash

Happy Earth Day To All !!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well.  I fell in love with this Digi the first time I saw it.  And to top it off it's a gift from Tiddly Inks just  http://www.papercraftplanet.com/group/tiddlyinksdigitals to get yours. I saw some of you have sign up to follow her.  Don't you just love her little cuties.

I collect LightHouses and I have two that look a lot like this one.  It kind of reminds me of

Dr. Suse. I wound up doing two of these. I couldn't part with the first one so I had to make another. Since the first one was for a birthday card for one of my nephew's Birthday in May.  I know some may be wondering about that. I have 3 nephews with Birthdays in May. The twins and then our baby boy who will turn 4.  His card is next.  I think that I will do the new Mo's Pirates. After seeing what Lori did with it.  I got to see her newest creations in person last night.  They were sooo cute.  We had a good time even if I had to cut my visit short due to a migraine.  Ok, I had better get to the details of my entery I know that you all are busy.

KKS #25 For The Boys / CPS #163 Sketch Challenge

Happy Monday!!!!!

Hope everyone's weekends were good.  .  Since I can't seen to put only one picture in my Challenge Post & I know that you have tons of entries to look at besides the things that you all have going on in your busy lives.  I've tried posting my pictures this way. Next step is to shorten what I write.  Working on it!!!!

When I took the KKS Blog Hop the other day and saw Dexter.  I knew that my search for one of my nephew's Birthday card was over.  I used this weeks CPS challenge sketch to make this one.  There was one part of the sketch that gave me just a bit of trouble. The long part that goes behind .  I tried all kinds of paper & ribbon but nothing seemed to work.  Then I remembered I had this stuff that I used for filler in baskets & flower arrangments.  And I think that it works for this element of their sketch.  I had better get on with the details of my entry.

Thank You for considering my entry & have a good week.

Bonjour Chere!!!

This April in Paris champaign has got me channeling my French ancestors.  I'm a Hines 57 so I hope I never channel them all at the same time.  What a party that would be.

This is only my 2nd time entering your challenges.  And I'm not sure how you all feel about altering images.  But I just couldn't help myself with this one. First there was the Be'ret (I've only knitted a bazillion of them), then when I read the sentiment I couldn't help myself.  I had to give her my hair.  She already had my love for the cafe',sunglass & Be'ret.  Then of course the girls couldn't go for a espresso without some Bling.

Thank you for considering my entry. Have a nice weekend!

Merci

Hi Everyone,

Hope your week has been good so far.  It's almost the weekend so hang in there!!!

I fell for this little cutie the first time I saw her.  I guess she channeled my Gypsy side.  She's all decked out in her Bling & sparkles.  I'm beginning t o think that I'm going to have to whip up a Love Potion of my own to get my husband to come home.  For those of you who do not know My husband is stationed over seas.  And they keep exstending him.  Ok, enough of that. Here are the details for my entry.  Thank You for considering my entry.

I don't know what's going on with this picture! It looks like I went a little Tammy Fay Baker with her eyes.  They don't look this bad in person.

TPE Challenge #62/ Quixotic Paperie #20 Joys of Spring / CCT #108 Touchy Feely

My  Quixotic Paperie order arrived today (YEA!!!)so I added a few extras that I had been waiting on. I t was hard to decided on the Tea Pot Charm or The Bee.  The Bee won! Thanks again for stopping by.  Have a nice rest of the week.

Hi Everyone,

Hope this finds all doing well & your week is off to a good start.

I would like to Thank Lori for listening to me this morning.  It was nice to talk to someone who's not my Mom & does not have fur & 4 leges.

Thanks Lori!!!!!

I have been working on this little cutie for a week now.  I reverted back to my painting & scrapbooking days when I started.  As you can see my first go turned out a little large for a card.  I was sure that I would never be able to do my coloring again on a smaller scale.  But without putting as much detail into the skirt I think that the sm. has turned out as nice as her big sister.  And the bee, well, I had to totally change.

I'm waiting on my order from Quixotic Paperie to arrive to add either the Bee or Tea Pot charm to the ribbon.  But I was afraid if I waited I might forget to enter her.  I hope you will like the almost finished product as much as I do.

So wihtout further adieu.

S2G Twisted Thur Challange #51

Bonjour!!!!

Hope this finds all doing well.  I loved the new line April In Paris. It was fun to see what the DT came up with for the new line.  Can't wait to get more of this line.  I've got my fingers cross for a chance at the Grand Prize Give Away.  But I do not seem to have much luck with that Random Number Guy.  Enough of that .  I fell in love with this image when I saw what Georgia http://georgiamacdonald.blogspot.com/ had done. This is such a nice image that it does not need a lot of  extras on the card.  I got to use paper that I had picked up just before Christmas but had not found the right project for. The reason for me doing my cat Blu' I use to have a business named Blu' Cat Studio.  So of course I had to do this one in blue.  This is the first time that I have entered a challenge with you all at S2G.  So wish me luck.  Thank you for considering my entry & have a nice week.  Whtout Further Adieu my First Entry with S2G.

Hi Everyone!

Hope all is going well with you all.  Yea!!! that these two challenges came out at the same time.  I had a wedding card that I had to do for a family wedding in May.  I had the art work done all but the glamour dusting.  Had to wait for that to come in the mail.  The colors I used are the wedding colors. 

  I called my Aunt to find out what color to do the hair for the groom. Find out that he shaves his head because he is going bald.  So I had to alter the image some.  Just wish that I would have known  to do it from the start and not the last thing that I had to do.  I would have just started over but I loved how his suite had turned out.  I didn't trust being able to get this effect a secound time.  I colored it with Copics then dusted with chalk.  I don't think you can tell from the picture.   Ok, I know you all are busy so I will get on with my entry.

Hi Everyone, hope all your Easters were good.

Hope that all our Southern CA. friends are ok!

Now for my Entry

Now you can't get too much more nature than this. A man in tall grass with a fishingpole & a 5 o'clock shadow.

Isn't He cute? I have a bunch of fishers in the family, so he will be used alot.  I had a request for a fishing card for my nephew-n-law's up coming birthday.  I couldn't find any thing I liked any where.  Then I found this little guy in the Scrap & Stamp  Just Cards,Volum 16 Winter 2010.

Now I need to find one for the women in the family.  Because we can give the guys a run for  their money when it comes to fishing. But the taking off the hook thing & cleaning them, 

 me not sooo much.  Why should I when I have one of them around to do it. Hee,Hee.  So if any of you know where I can get one for us girls can you let me know, please!!!!!!  Thank's.  Now for the details of my entry.

WFK Birthday Wish Challenge#8 / C4C30 Challenge/ Day 28 SSSunday

Happy Good Friday to All

As promissed in my last WFK challenge I'm using a WFK image in this one. This is a card done for my neice-in-law's Birthday that is in a couple of days.    Last Challenge I used Hubby's Easter care package.  Yea!!!!! He called early this morning & had received his care package.  So the Easter Bunny came through.

 When I first saw this little cutie I knew it would not be long before she would be moving in.  The first thing that came to mind was how she looked like our babygirl Stella.  My neice of a whole 3 1/2. So Birthday Ivy will be used again in July for Stella's Birthday card.  If not before.  She might make it into a Mothers Day card for Stella's Mom, Becky.

  Better get on with my Entry so you all can get on with your last min. preps for Easter. 

Happy Easter To All!!!!! Thank You for considering my entry.

Hi!!!! I just got back from the Hop!!!!  Wish that I had seen some of the cards before I did mine.  But I was kind of stuck with doing this card in the colors I used since these are the Birthday Girls colors.  Thanks DT & Guest for some ideals for next time I use this image.
