Patches

Challenge for Designed 2 Delight Delightful Inspiration

Well I did it this time.  I am usually just under the wire on D2D Challenge an this week was no exception....except I didn't make it...lol.  I was a few minutes late.  DH and I were watching a movie and I didn't realize the time.  I looked over on my end table and there was Patches colored and ready for a card.  I looked at the clock and it was 20 minutes until 12:00 a.m.  Deadline is 12:00.  I grabbed Patches ..ran upstairs .. made the card as quick as I could..ran back downstairs and got the camera...Oh no!!!..

Batteries are dead.  Found batteries and changed them and took the picture.  Of course it had to be uploaded and cropped.....did all of that and went to the challenge blog and "Linky Widget Expiration: 2 minutes ago".  I thought for a few minutes that it served me right but I would post my card anyway.  But after all the running I had to breathe for a few..lol  Anyway this is my card.  And it was quick!  

2 pieces of K&Company paper...pink CS..pink organza ribbon and a $ stamp an viola..less than 10 minutes a card.

Next week I'll do better...(hopefully)  I just love the images and the challenge at Delightful Inspiration....go check it out..new challenge will be posted in the morning.

Until next time,

Country Maisy and Cookie

I made this card for a challenge at A Spoonful Of Sugar.  The image is "Country Maisy and Cookie" and can be found at Di's Digi Downloads.

I started out with yellow cs and added a piece of leftover paper from K&Company.  I cut out a oval scallop with nesties and pricked around to to sew beads on each scallop.  I cut out the image with oval nesties and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and added a few more seed beads.  I added a lt. yellow ribbon & bow and that.s it.  The challenge at A Spoonful of Sugar is beads.

Mandelina

I made this card for a Sketch Challenge at There's Magic In The Air.  This image is "Mandelina" from Paper Cupcakes.  I won it for the Card Of Comfort Challenge in February.  I got to choose any image I wanted and I chose her..she is so pretty.  We were required to use one of their stamps so this was a perfect time to use this one.  Everything on this card was stuff from my stash that I have had forever.  I colored her with Prisma Pencils and OMS and used Stickles on her wings.    I am off to bed..gotta work tomorrow.  Have a great day!

Join Me For Coffee

I LOVE COFFEE!!!!  I really do!

I made this card for 2 reasons.....first...Miss Daisy will be giving one person this image for being a follower and having her badge on your blog.  The second is for a Sketch Challenge over at Sketch Girl.  

I used the sketch to sew papers from my stash on my card base.  It doesn't show real well in the pic but the papers are beige and blue and pink.   I then printed the image out twice..once on white cs and once on pink cs. I colored the cup with Prisma Pencils and OMS and popped it up on the pink one cut with a circle nestie.  Then I printed "join me for a cup ?" on computer and added it to the bottom.  Oh, and glass effects to the coffee part.  Isn't that the sweetest face?  And that's it.  So...Join Me For A Cup ?   I have plenty.  You can find Daisy Doodles Images at Card Making World.

Bugaboo Birthday

This is another Birthday card that I sent Cierra.  She loves monkey's.

This is an image from Bugaboo.  It is a very small card that I made her just so she could have 2.  It measures 3-3/4" square.  It's cut out with  Nestabilities Labels One.  The sentiment is another of my $1 stamps cut out with a Nesties Oval Scallop.  Image is colored with prismas and OMS and the dots are scribbles.  

My youngest Grandson...Dalton... will be 6 on Friday so I  need to get him a card made and in the mail.  I have a couple of ideas for him.  Now if I can just get them onto a card..lol.  Thanks for stopping by.

Sad News

I came home from work tonight (last night) and learned that Digital-Ink Co. has closed their doors.  This is a sad good-bye.  I wish Judy and all the creators at DICo the best of  luck in their future endeavors.  They will all be missed.

As part of  the DICo Design Team I have a card that I made for the next challenge. This will be my final card as a DICo DT Member.

My creator for the next challenge was to be Judy of M & M Designz and Digital-Ink Co. owner.  I chose her "lovebirds".  The challenge was anything goes.  Judy will be opening another store on her own soon.  As I learn more I will keep you posted.  Also I will be posting the blogs of the other creators as I go along. 

Birdie Party

This is the last challenge for February at Delightful Inspiration.  The final image this month is so cute.

This is so not my style at all but the image just called for bright and colorful.  How cute are these birds?  I love them and I can see them being used for a lot of different occasions.  

I started with a purple card base and layered with turquoise cs and different colored paper from my stash.  This is the wildest piece of paper I own and I think it is probably the oldest one too.  Like I said...this is not my usual style at all...lol  I colored the birdies with my Prismas and OMS and cit them out with an oval nestie and layered them on turquoise cut out with the oval scallop nestie.  I added a narrow yellow ribbon and the sentiment...."party".  The yellow dots are scribbles and I added stickles to the balloon.  

I can't wait to see what Faith has in store for March.  The new challenge month begins Tuesday March 2 so make sure you visit Designed 2 Delight: Delightful Inspiration and play along.

The February images are available in her store HERE along with other adorable stamps.  Thanks so much for visiting and looking at my card....even though it is really different for me..lol. 

Friends Forever

This card is for Stitchy's new Challenge blog.  I have had this image for quite awhile.  It is my favorite of hers.

Since I make my living sewing I could not pass this challenge up.  This is Stichy's first challenge on her new blog....One Stitch At A Time (OSAAT).  So in honor of the first challenge,  which had to have stitching on it,  I used my favorite image of hers..."The Raggedies".  You can find her stamps HERE.

  For my card I started with a Denim blue card base and added K&Company background paper.  I stitched it on with a zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine...and then stitched rows along some of the stripes.  I then cut out ovals with my nesties and stitched them together.  The image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS and cut out with a craft knife and layered on top with pop-dots.  I used one of my good old $1 stamps for the sentiment and stitched it on.  That is all there is to it!

Designed2Delight Challenge

This is for a challenge over at Delightful Inspiration.  Here is this weeks image we were to use:
I colored it 3 times because I couldn't decide on a color.  So I made 3 different cards.   This first one I tried to distress and did not like it at all but thought what the heck...I'll post it anyway.

  

The 2nd one is o.k. but I like the 3rd one the best.  I have to make this a quick post because I only have 6 minutes to get my entry in.  Again I am barely under the wire.  

Digital-Ink Co Challenge #17 - Peace

It is time for the Digital-Ink Co Challenge #17  - All About Peace.  The requirements are to create a card about what Peace means to you.  For me Peace is a place within yourself that you can find comfort and contentment.  Here is my card:

The image is "Roses" from Daisy Doodles..one of the sponsors for this weeks challenge.  You can find it here for $1.50.  This is the stamp given to me to use for this challenge.

I started with yellow cs and layered white cs embossed with swiss dots cuttlebug folder and corner punched.  I used oval nestabilities, green organza ribbon and yellow scribbles for the dots.  I found this quote on-line and thought it was perfect for my thoughts about Peace.  My image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS with diamond stickles added.

This challenge runs from February 22 through February 28....(beginning March 1 challenges will be weekly). All you have to do is make a card depicting what Peace means to you and enter it with Mr. Linky  here.   Here is what you can win for playing along:

Hang In There

This is an image by Dustin Pike of  Doodle Dragon Studios.  I just love his images.  This one is from 2009.
I colored him as usual with Prisma Pencils and OMS and used paper and cs from my stash.  The sentiment is computer generated.

Blue Wren

I didn't make a card tonight...long evening at work and I couldn't manage to get out of the recliner to go to my craft room.  I thought I would show you this card I made a while back for a swap.  Before I got so addicted to coloring digital images I was addicted to stitching on cards and CD's.  It's just one addiction after the other..lol

I can't remember the name of whose stitching pattern this is right now...my brain won't work..lol..it's right on the tip of my tongue.........but it will probably come to me tomorrow and I will let you know.  Anyway I LOVE birds and when I saw this pattern I had to stitch it.  It was a tough one to follow but I think it was worth it!

Calendar

My post for today is a calendar and not a card.  These really are cute calendar pages.

The calendar images are created by Daisy Doodles.  You can find them at Digital-Ink Co.  It is a whole year for $4.00.  Each calendar page has it's own image.

Here are a few of the pages:

Really, all I did was make an easel card and attach the pages with a ribbon.  There are no special embellishments or anything.  It really is a super quick project.  Would make a great gift in a hurry.  I colored them with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS  and inked around the edges.

Just For Fun!

Something a little different.  I was just in the mood to color and play.  Jules made this digital image from a photograph and I kinda nabbed it.

It was fun to do something different.  It makes you look at photographs in a different way.  I also did the one in my right side bar but I made the digital image myself.  It's my youngest son Reno.  I just think it is soooo cool.  I used to hand embroidery like I color now.....EVERY DAY....and I would convert photos of the grandkids into digital images,  trace them onto fabric and embroider them.  One of these days I'll show you some pics of them.  Anyway just wanted to show you what I've been up to.  Sometimes you just need to play without  a specific goal to complete.  Now back to cardmaking..lol

You Gotta Have Rain

I could not wait to color this little guy...He is soooo cute!     This

is "Rainy Day Freddy".   He is the image Miss Daisy is giving  away if you use one of her stamps in the current Daisy Doodles Challenge.  I colored him with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS...then inked around him and used Stickles for the raindrops.  

Here is the computer generated sentiment:

 And finally here is the whole card:

I don't know what it is with me and the poca dots lately?!?  Since I dug out all the poca dots I had for Lexi's Challenge I have been using them like crazy..LOL  This is a sketch for a challenge my Sister's of Sisterhood of the Blogging Stampers #29 is having for us.  So when I got Freddy I decided to use him for the sketch.  Thanks Kim Marie for putting this together for us.  I hope you like him half as much as I do.  And thank you so much for looking.

I am also entering this in 2 more challenges:

Daisy Doodles Challenge #2 - Black & White

Today starts the 2nd Daisy Doodles Challenge......the theme is black and white.   Go to Daisy Doodles blog and get all the details.  Here is my card:

OK first of all I admit it...I cheated...but just a little.  The challenge is black and white but I could not bring myself to color the leaves of these beautiful tulips anything but green.  Other than the light green everything is black and white..lol     These are Daisy Doodles Tulips that you have seen me do before.  I love them!  The image is matted on black and mounted on b/w paper matted on white and onto a black card.  I used a MS border punch and punched both sides of a strip of white card stock and glued a b/w ribbon to the center.  I added stickles to the white tulips.

Miss Daisy is doing something a little different with this challenge.  You can use any image you like but if you use a Daisy Doodles Stamp you will get a free image..."Rainy Day Freddy".  You can see him at the top of my left side bar. And to let you in on a little secret...the next challenge is "Bears".  You can find Daisy Doodles Stamps HERE.
You have until 7 pm EST  Saturday February 27th to get your entry in.  Enter using Mr. Linky at Daisy Doodles blog using a direct link to your project  post.    So what are ya waiting for???  Can't wait to see what you create.

Congratulations to the WINNER of the Sketch Challenge #1 .......SANDRA!!!

HAPPY BEE DAY !

This is another image from Designed 2 Delight Digital Stamps for  Delightful Inspiration challenge.  It's a free image for participating with last weeks image and challenge.  This could also be used as a wedding cake if you removed the candles.  The sentiment came with it too.  It was very simple and quick to color using Prismacolor Pencils and OMS.   I colored it in green and peach and used a green dot background paper from my stash.  The strips are cut from K&Company scraps out of my scrap box.  I cut the image and sentiment out with nesties ..inked them with peach ink and added a flower with the center punched from the scrap paper.

This is for 2 challenges
