Trip to Arizona

These two pages are of our trip to see my sister in Arizona last Feb. Finally got around to getting them on the page and out of my stash. I used basic black and white with a little gold for bling. This was a fast and easy layout to make. Enjoy, Janet

The Sweet Life

Here is my entry in the Farm Fresh Friday No Frills challenge. I used one of my fall Magnolia stamps and colored her with my pencils adding the dove blender on top. The background and her spot to sit are embossed using two different cuttlebug embossing folders. The cupcake and the saying are from Hampton Arts. Buttons were added to finish the card. This is a very nice card for someones birthday. Happy Crafting, Janet

Bling, Bling

This is my entry in the Fri. Stamp Something Challenge for this challenge we had to make a card with bling. I used sparkly paper, embossed Thank You in silver, added a silver dolie and for the center I stamped my image with a glue pad and sprinkled it with glitter. Thanks for looking, hope you like the card. This was my first card using my new glue pad, I think it is a fun tech. Janet

Birthday in Purple

This is my card for the Sketch and Stash challenge # 21. You had to follow the sketch and use something you had that was new and never used in your stash. The emblishments in the corner are the newest things I had to use and I have never used this kind before. The card front is made with three different cuttlebug embossing folders. One for each color. Enjoy, Janet

Great Day and Follow the Leader

I made these two cards tonight for different sketch challenges on SCS Great Day is a Thanksgiving card, we had to make with no emblishments. The design of the card was up to the designer. I chose to use punches to make my design for this card. Follow the Leader is a birthday card for a man or boy. I used one of the $1 stamps I bought at Micheal's, colored colored the cars, cut them out for the three images needed to complete the sketch. I also used one of my favorite cuttlebug embossing folders. Happy crafting, Janet

It's a Wonderful Life

Here is a card I just finished for SCS sketch challenge VLVOct01 It is suppose to be shabby chic. I think it turned out more antique but kind of like it anyway. I used a gold doilie, some crinkled up paper, ran a piece of cardstock through the crimper (I need to use that more often, keep forgetting I have it stuck in a drawer) antiqued everything with black ink and added a cute verse from The Angel Co. It was fun once I figured out what to do about that part circle in the middle of the sketch :). See you tomorrow, time for bed now. Sweet Dreams, Janet

Laughter

Here is my entry for the Scrap & Stamp Canada Oct #2 challenge Another simple card to use for any occasion. Cardstock base, black ribbon, a nice verse embossed on white, matted on black and a few flowering vines. Easy to make and fun to give. Happy crafting, Janet

For You

Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge entry #43. Very simple but nice card for any occasion. I used a green base, white cardstock matted in black. Print paper matted in black, silk flowers with a green foam center. Stamp is one of the $ stamps from Micheal's. Hope you like the card. Happy crafting. Janet

Hummingbird

This is my entry in the Midnight Madness #23 sketch challenge. The fan shapes are peach ribbon with crystals on them, the silver is a decorative doilie, the flowers and hummingbird are recycled from an old card. The silver gray strip is a piece of wall paper. The card base is peach cardstock with black cardstock on top. This was a fun sketch to work with, took a little more though than some of the different sketches I have done in the past. Hope you all enjoy the card, Janet

Hedgehog Thank You TESC86

This is my entry for this weeks Taylored Expressions sketch challenge. My hedgehog image I printed out when I was visiting my sister in law and I don't remember who makes the stamp. I colored it with my pencils and the dove blender. Everything is matted before I attached it to the base card. The ribbon is from my very large stash. I don't think I will every run out of ribbon. It seems to expand when I am not looking or more like when my husband is not looking. Maybe next month I will give away a supply of different ribbons for my Blog Candy. Enjoy the card, I enjoyed creating it, Janet

Happiness is Reflective

This is my entry in this weeks MoJo Monday 108 sketch challenge. The verse is from Cloud 9 Designs. I cut out and matted a couple of the brown circle designs then popped them up with demensional tape. Happy crafting. Janet

Birdhouse

I made this card for a swap on one of my card groups. It is a SCS sketch. The stamp is one that I bought at a second hand store today. I colored it with pencils and added the dove blender. The paper is some from my scrap stash, a piece of ribbon and 6 little jewels and you have a card that will serve for most any occasion. Happy crafting, Janet
