Two Challenges

I couldn't find my battery charger for my camera! I looked "everywhere", but it was not to be found. I even went to Best Buy to price their chargers... $42! So I came home and looked some more. I decided to check my husband's drawer, that he "had just looked in there." I scanned around the drawer, and low and behold! There it was. So I charged my battery, and now I'm displaying my cards that I finished last night.

This little card was made for two challenges: The Greeting Farm and Totally PaperCraft #31.

The Greeting Farm had a sketch to follow. This is what I came up with. I of course used a Greeting Farm image and colored it with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol, and cut it out with Nesties Oval and matted it on Nesties Oval Scallop. I used Basic Grey's LilyKate dp and SU cs. The yellow ribbon is from my stash and the pink is from Celebrat It. The buttons are Basic grey. The flower is Prima and the pearls are Kaiser Craft. I sponged around the image with yellow chalk.

The challenge for Totally Papercraft #31 was Plain and Simple. This is pretty plain and quite simple. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Friday Sketchers #89

Hi! Made it to church today. Sometimes it's hard for my mother-in-law to get around (almost 98 she is!), but today we made it. Was a good morning.

I made this card for Friday Sketchers #89. I used an image from my daughter's collection, colored it with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. Cut the image and mat with Nestabilities ovals and scallop, cut the square (diamond) with Nestabilities squares. The ribbon is Celebrate It from Michael's. The pearls are Kaiser Hot Pink. The paper is from my stash, the paper on the diamond is Basic Grey. Simple card, but fun to make. I like 'em simple :)

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Penny Black #85 and OCC

Happy Saturday! It's gloomy in Jacksonville today. Slightly chilly (for here). Been cleaning house, then made this card for Penny Black's challenge #85, Something Sweet, using OCC's sketch challenge for today. I used cs DCWV and from my stash. Of course, the image is Penny Black, colored with Copics. I love this image, they all look so happy! The ribbon is from Offray, Celebrate It, and Valentine's from Michael's. The pearls are Kaiser. That's about it. Simple and Sweet :)
