A Message to all of you

Well, it's almost time. Friday my husband and I are taking his mother to Oregon for 3 months - May 1 through July - should be home by August 1. I don't know if we are going to have any internet, so I don't know if I'll even get to check on all of you to see how you are doing, or to post a card. Please don't give up on me! I will be back. (I'll probably go through withdrawal if we don't have access!) We plan to do lots of activities (which we don't have time for now). But I will try to do a card once in a while if I am able. There is a small scrapbooking/stamp store in her little town where I can get a few supplies. And Medford isn't too far away. There are some places there to purchase things. I know they have a Michaels and JoAnns, and I think they have a Hobby Lobby!

I will miss all of you. Check mid-May to see if I've posted. If I have, Yea, that means I have access :).

Hugs to you all,

Linda

Flight of the butterfly

This is for the Copics #10 color challenge to use RV34, B02, and B39. I have B02, also used B32, 34, RV000 and RV13, Y11, G000 and G21, and R02. The image is by Rubber Stampede. I stamped the image twice. I cut out the second butterfly and glued it to the first image, looks like it's flying! I ran the top and bottom of the card through my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. And that's it! I like this card. Hope you do, too!

Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Mojo83 Thanks

Hey, last one for today! This is for Mojo Monday Challenge 83, a sketch. I used K and Company Bailey papaer (both sides of one sheet) for the dp. The cs is DCWV. The image is my new Flourishes set of Violets. So pretty! First time to use it (just got it Monday) :). Colored with Copics. The decorative border is punched with a Fiskers border punch (is that redundant?). The ribbon is Offray.

Peek-a-boo

I used CCEE's sketch to make this card for the Basic Grey challenge, to paper piece. I stamped the image, then stamped it again on each of the dp cardstock from BG's Urban Prairie. I used the pink for the hat and the "white" for the box. I found a feather from a pillow and stuck it on the hat! I used a pink Copic marker on the inside of the hat and Fluffle's nose. I cut the image out with Nestabilities ovals and the scallop from BG's pink. I put tiny pearls on the flowers on the pink side. The pink flower is from Hobby Lobby - Spare Parts, and the green is Primaflowers. Offray ribbon and Michaels pearl rhinestones completes the card. I had fun paper-piecing Fluffles!

Life's a Hoot!

Ok, there's a story behind this card. I knew I had a half-sister (my dad was married once before he married my mom), and he had a daughter from his first marriage. But we have never met, or even talked - until a little over a week ago! We connected and talked by phone. She lives in Texas, and I'm in Florida. But it was so cool to talk with her and finally know I have a big sister!!! So I made this card with her in mind. I'm going to put pictures with it and send it to her. It's going to say inside: Sisters: Like two peas in a pod! What do you think? Think she'll like it?

Ok, now the card: The image is Rachel Anne Miller's owls colored with Copics. CS is DCWV. Cut the image out with Nestabilities ovals and the scallop bg is Basic Grey's Perhaps - Princess' Pea. I put a tag from the same on the inside. The ribbon is Michaels Home & More Classic Collection.

Thanks a bunch for listenin' and lookin'!

Goin' on a picnic!

Ok, this is for Friday Sketcher's Challenge #48. I used this Sarah Kay image - isn't she adorable? I colored her with my Copics and cut out the image with Nestabilities Oval - the largest one. Yes, it cut off the end of the tire, but I fixed it. The image is popped up on foam dots. The card base is gray cs, and is DCWV as is the blue and yellowish green. The cream is unknown. All cs is from my scrap stash. The dp is from Basic Grey's LilyKate. It's 6x6 inches, all the same sheet! The pearls are from Michaels and the flowers are Primaflowers.

Hello

Hi! This card is for Penny Black's sketch challenge for week 45. All the cardstock I used is from my scrap collection! I love this teal with the dark purple. And the yellow is for the little bird and the golf tee. Actually, the yellow is Basic Grey from the Urban Prairie collection. The colored cs is DCWV. I colored the little hedgie with copics, cut him out, popped him up on foam dots. I also popped out the little bird after cutting it out. The purple panel behind hedgie is also popped out on foam dots. The ribbon: it's just because I wanted it :). I love sheer ribbon, don't have a lot yet, but I'm gradually collecting more. It's from Sheer Creations.

Daydreaming

This card was made for Magnolia's first challenge, a sketch. I colored Tilda first, then had to find paper to go with her :-). I used ribbon to contrast between the blue and green. I used green Kaiser pearls and a green button to accent the card. I colored Tilda with Copics. this is a very simple card. Thanks a bunch for lookin'!

Black and White with one other color

This card was made for Whiff of Joy's challenge #26, to use black and white with a touch of color. I used yellow Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol to color the touch of color. The black is also Prismacolor pencil. I used yellow Basic Grey Urban Prairie. The brad is also Urban Prairie. The ribbon is Michaels Textured Trios black and white gingham. I layered the card with the base of the card from GA Pacific white cs, followed by black from the Paper Studio, the yellow BG, then the black, yellow and finally the image on white. I used a yellow double spiral clip for the ribbon. That's it.

Take time to smell the roses

This is the first time I've used this image, and it is so cute! I colred it with Copics and sponged the background behind the image with chalk. This is the first time I've used this ribbon from Michaels (Sweet Life Fairies) as well. I think it's really fun. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder Spots and Dots for the red background cardstock, I distressed the brown cs, and scalloped the green. I used a red Prima felt flower with a white button. That's it. Pretty simple, but I like the card!
