I got the Fluffles Tiptoe thru the Tulips stamp during Spring Break and had to try it out.

Sorry for the blurry photo.  I took several and this was the best one.  I kept getting a "F 1/4" or some numbers like that popping up but it would disappear to quickly to figure out what it said and not knowing the numbers, I'm not sure how to look up on the internet what it means.  Hopefully, you can see the border made by my Creative Memories border maker.

I thought today's sketch looked like it would make a good "jeans pocket"

 but I'm not sure I achieved it with my paper choices (blue and distressed)

Below is how it looks open...

That gets all the Easter cards done for this month.

Create a Card sketch card

Create A Card sketch card 8-21-12

Create A Card sketch and card 8-14-12

Since my paper had the lady image, I moved the sentiment over to the other side.  Inside the card it says BIRTHDAY.

Time for another Create a Card sketch
I used this sketch to make a 4.25 by 5.5 card instead of a square card.
I typed the sentiment and printed it with my printer then punched them with my Creative Memories circle punch. I also used the CM circle pattern to cut the larger circle. I cut 1.5 inch strip of paper and ran it through my cuttlebug with the Plum Blossoms folder. To make the flower behind VERY, I used two white acrylic flowers from Queen & Co. Fab Flowers "hottie" but to make them red, I used Alcohol Ink in Cranberry to get them that dark color. It's also the same red, just not as concentrated, on the large circle in the corner.

Progressive Challenge #5

Here's another CDAC Progressive Challenge image. I also did a Sew Many Cards sketch that I found and a color challenge by A Muse Studio to use French Roast Brown and BubbleGum Pink. The Pink paper is a digital paper called DiamondGirl from Gina K at Stamp TV.

Puppy Love

I was following Stampavie's sketch and Color Q's color pallet. I colored Hershey the puppy with my alcohol markers and used some scraps of cardstock and designer papers. The flowers are from Oriental Trading Company Summer Fun and the eyelets came from Spare Parts by the Paper Studio. I decorated my solid cardstock with the Sizzix Folder Swirly Vines with Hearts.

Added: I was typing in the challenges (and entering them in at the same time) but a transformer blew the power out and blogger hadn't done an auto save at this point so I'll have to add the people and challenge blogs back in as the comments are left.


Challenges:
Fun with Shapes: Flowery
Polka Doodles: Male
One Stop Crafts: "One for the Boys"
Mark's Speedy Cat: Embossing
Lexi's Creations: Something Old (eyelets - bought them long before my LSS closed down)


Thanks for looking and don't forget to enter my blog candy give away.

Have a Beary Happy Birthday

Here's Sew Many Cards' Bear with balloons and Happy Birthday sentiment. I used the sketch from Lili of the Valley Thursday Challenge, the color choices for my card at Colour Create Challenge, and I also have embossing which means I can enter into the Cardvarks challenge.

Keep yer Kool!

This card is perfect for the 16 year old about to get his/her license. I colored Tayla with two brown markers and the tires with a gray marker then paper pieced the car. I used my alcohol inks to make a red/gold paper, a aqua/silver paper and a green/gold paper, then printed the car three times (once on each paper). After cutting the car body in red and the windows in blue, I did the bumper in green. I also cut the eye/headlights from the blue and tongue from red and glued them on top of their proper spaces. To darken up the window seal, I ran the gray marker in that spot. To finish the card off, I rounded the corners, matted it on a green cardstock scrap then on dark red card base.

***********************************

Here's yet another improved quality image from Sew Many Cards. I used PaperCraftPlanet's sketch, and the main colors of orange & blue with a little beige (the scarf is beige although you can barely see it). The MAZEL TOV stamp is by Studio G (love that dollar bin at Michael's and JoAnns) and I used Rubber Stampede dark blue on orange paper to stamp it then cut it out. The blue twine is wax coated jewerly cord and the flowers are Prima Sweet & Sassy Dolly. The papers came from a 8x8 pack that I don't remember the manufacture name but I bought it at Walmart a couple of years ago. Everything was mounted on an orange card base.

You can see the colors better in this photo. The photo above doesn't show you the shadows on the snowballs or the light color of the scarf. However, the detail around the eyes doesn't look right in this one (looks better in other picture). And by getting so close, you can see where some of the background chalk got onto the scarf and cheeks.
Well thanks for looking.
