New Beginnings

Spring and flowers always signify new beginnings for me. So I chose this Gruffies stamp with the Wheelbarrow and potted plant to signify New Beginnings for spring... even though it's still a long way off! I colored with Copics. The paper is Making Memories English Garden and the ribbon is also MM. I used the sketch from Sketch N' Stash #52. I used my Nesties Oval scallop to cut out the image and popped it up on foam dots. That's it. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Anniversary Card

I made this card for my daughter and her husband's 10th anniversary coming up April 2nd. I've had this Verve image awhile (it's hers), and I knew I wanted to use it for this card. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol, and raised it up on diminsionals. I used Kaisercraft pearls over the image pearls around her neck. Isn't that a cute look! I cut the image out with Nesties Ovals. I used a MS corner punch on the corners of the BasicGrey dp. The cs is Stampin'Up. The ribbon is Offray, and the larger pearls are Kaisercraft. I used the green cs inside the card and punched the corners of it as well. Don't have a message/sentiment inside yet, as Kerri looks at my blog.

This card fits Cute Card Thursday's Theme Happy Anniversary (#104) and the sketch follows Sketch and  Stash #31.

Thanks a bunch for lookin'. Think my daughter and husband will like the card?

Stampavie & More #84 with Sketch & Stash #54 and Simon Says Stamp

This card fits at least 3 challenges! Stampavie and More #84 is to make a card for spring. Check. Simon Says Stamp is to make a card for a female, be it girl, woman, sister, or friend. Check. I used Sketch and Stash #30's sketch for the card. Check.

So, I colored the Sarah Kay image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The image and mat are raised up slightly with foam squares. I punched the border with a MS border punch, and used some of the flowers that were punched on the card. The dp is by Basic Grey: LilyKate, and the blue cs is SU. The flower is by Prima Flowers and the brad is Spare Parts from Hobby Lobby. And there you have it! Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

New Totally Papercrafts Challenge #1 and Sketch & Stash #28

This card is for the brand new challenge Totally Papercrafts. This is their first challenge, Friends. What is more a friend than a brand new puppy? We got a German Shepherd puppy for Christmas, and she is 13 weeks old, 3 months today. She is already HUGE! And is getting sweeter every day.

I used the sketch from Sketch and Stash challenge #28. I can't remember the dp paper, the cs is SU and DCWV. I colored the image with Prisma color pencils and Gamsol. The sentiment is from SU, and the image is Sarah Kay, one of my favorite artists. I used a Cuttlebug embossing border down the middle. You can almost see it!

Pretty simple. Thanks a bunch for lookin'! There is a blog hop going on at Totally Papercrafts and everyone has some blog candy! Check it out!
