You're a Blast!!!

Very simple card, doesn't need a lot of explanation!! The card base is Soft Suede (SU), the other cardstock is Brilliant Blue (SU) and the DP is from CTMH. The image and sentiment are from an SU set called Pun Fun.

Thanks for stopping by! Sorry it's not more exciting!! LOL

Incy Wincy Designs Challenge - Fancy Folds

The challenge this week at Incy Wincy Designs is FANCY FOLDS! There are sooo many COOL cards out there that aren't your typical A2 cards....I mean, I could name 20 right off the top of my head.......gate fold, tent fold, easel card, buckle, spring card, z fold, shadow box, ....ok, I'll stop!! So, this week, we'd like to see a fancy fold on your card or project!!



This weeks Artist Spotlight is on COWGIRL UP stamps from Stitchy Bear Stamps. REALLY pretty stamps there, so go check it out!!!! The Design team was fortunate to be able to work with MAGGIE, I just fell in love with her when I first saw her!!!!

My card is a Z fold card - very simple actually.....cut your cardstock (81/2 x 11) lengthwise (at 4 1/4) and fold that in half (still an A2 size card). Then, take the front and fold it back over itself to make the Z (ZED in Canada!!! LOL) Embellish as desired!!!! THe options are ENDLESS!!!

You can see a top view here:








And here is another view...of it sitting open.


I hope you will join us this week at Incy Wincy Designs!!!! Have a great week!!!!

Have a great week!!!

The Corrosive Challenge Blog - sketch

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!! I hope you have a great day with family, friends and good food!!!

Here is the sketch we would like you to use at The Corrosive Challenge blog this week. And here is my card:

I used an image from Karen's Doodles called "Puppy Love", and coloured him with Koh-i-noor pencils and Gamsol.
The DP is from my scraps of "too pretty to throw away" (LOL). The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp sentiment set that I LOVE!!!!! The little vintage flowers I got at Michael's awhile ago in the clearance section, would you believe? I snatched up all 4 packs!!! LOL NOW I am starting to use them!!! LOL

I hope you can join us this week!!!!

Creations by Penny - Spring collection

Penny has come out with a bunch of new digis, and they are PERFECT for Spring and Summer!!! Head HERE to check them all out!!!!



This image is perfect for a "guy" card! I used grey Liquid Applique for the smoke - it was an afterthought and I'm so glad it worked out, because the card was done, coloured, and put together when I thought "Oh, lets see if it works!!" LOL THANK GOODNESS it looks OK!!!!





This is a 2-5-7-10 box (got instructions at SCS) which is really easy - a few scores, a few cuts and voila, a really cute little treat box!!! The fruit brads I got a couple summers ago and have been "hoarding" for the perfect project...and I think this is it!!!!

I thought these flowers would make a great Sympathy card - and I'm always being asked to make them, so thought if I make and store some, they will be handy if need be (unfortunate, but it happens!!!) The swirls are a EK Success punch and the gems I got from Simon Says Stamp. The ribbon is from my stash, probably from Michael's! All images are coloured with Copics!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you will head over to see what Penny has for you, you won't be disappointed!!!! AND VERY reasonably priced...so you can't go wrong in buying several!!!!! HAVE fun!!!!

Karen's Doodles Photo inspiration challenge #2

I am entering this card into the UK Challenge blog this week. The same photo is used for inspiration for all 4 blogs this week, so I decided to enter it there too!!! I used the same DP as my other card - Nana's Kids (DCWV) and the same ribbon, just a different image. I LOVE colouring Karen's images, they are so cute and so fun to colour!!!


So, here is the photo again, that we are to use for inspiration:





And here is my card:






The image is called Movie Date. You can either buy the boy, the girl, OR both together....which is really really cute!!! I of course had to have all 3, there is no way I could have 1 without the other!!! LOL She is coloured with Copics. The ticket stub is from a Tim Holtz set called "At the Movies" which I got at Simon Says Stamp!

Wish me luck again on this one!!!LOL I think they might get sick of seeing me!!!!
Have a great rest of the week!!!
