Farm Fresh Friday entry!!!

Hello bloggers :)

Long time no post. Haven't really had any spare time to craft :(
With my boys enjoying the summer and then back to school crept up on us. Just have been trying to get back into the swing of things in my household. Also I started a part time job back in September to make Christmas a little easier in our house. Of course it doesn't help that my part time is in a major arts and crafts store :) LOVE IT!!!

Today I finally found some crafting time. I wanted to join in on some challenges and my favorite of all are the challenges over at http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/. It is The Greeting Farm challenge blog. I am a huge Greeting Farm Fan, I absolutely Love their stamps.

I created the following card and entered it into the Farm Fresh Friday challenge. This weeks challenge was a sketch challenge and we were to be inspired by the following sketch

                                                             And here is what I created

 

I love how it turned out. I used one of the little fairies from the clear stamp set fairy princess.

The banner is from paper smooches, and the butterflies are a Martha Stewart punch. The sentiment is from Amy R stamps set called winged greetings sentiments.

 

Thank you for stopping by :)

Patriotic Card!!

Hi Bloggers :)

 

 

Today I am sharing a card I created using this sketch from mojomonday.blogspot.com

 



 

I just learned about this blog and already I love the sketches I have seen :)

I am new to the blogging community and am always looking for inspiration in sketches.

 

This is the card I came up with

 

 

 

I used the My Favorite Thing 4x6 stamp from The Greeting Farm and chose the girl image.

I colored her in with my copics which I am still trying to get the hang of when it comes to coloring hair and skin. The papers are from a stack called Little boys and their toys that I purchased at hobby lobby and it is from the paper studio.

 

I will be entering my card into the Farm Fresh Friday challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog which is splendidstamping.blogspot.com. This weeks challenge is Red, White, Blue + Ribbon.

I will also be entering the Simon Says Stamp challenge and this week it is a Patriotic Theme

2 post in one day Oh my :)

So I decided to make another card for The Greeting Farm Challenges :)

I will be entering the Garden Variety Tuesday challenge over at Splendidstamping.blogspot.com.

This was the sketch that was provided

 

 

 

and this is the card I came up with

 

 

I used the Queen Bean stamp from The Greeting Farm, colored her in with my copics and also used my spica glitter pens. The heart doily is from spellbinders and the sentiment is from the Flutter heart clear stamp set from the greeting farm.

 

I will also be entering my card in this weeks Anyoneforanya.blogspot.com challenge which was GLITTER. In my card I added a piece of red glittered cardstock and added glitter to the image itself.

It has been a while!!!!!

hello bloggers :)

I haven't really had time to create anything lately. My oldest 2 boys are now home from school for summer break and adding my 2 little ones to the mix there just hasn't been time for creating :(
Today however I was able to escape into my craftroom for a couple of hours while hubby held down the fort lol. I wanted to participate in the DCWV Stack-a-Holic Template challenge this month and I realized tomorrow is the last day to enter. So with that in mind I started on my hours long journey to get creative :)

This was the template given for this months challenge

And this was the card I created using the Sunday Afternoon stack

Love how it turned out :)

I will also be entering it into the Simon says stamp blog challenge this week since it is Anything goes week.

Paper Smooches Spark Challenge!

Hello :)

 

Today I want to share a card I created for the PAPER SMOOCHES SPARKS CHALLENGE blog http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com and this weeks challenge is a picture perfect challenge.

 

 

 

 

You are shown a picture and are to use it as your inspiration for whatever you would like to make. This weeks picture is:

 

 

 

 

Love the look of these colored tags all together. That in itself would make a cute card.

Here is the card I came up with.

 

I used the numbers paper from DCWV's Birthday Wishes 6x6 stack.

For the stamped crayons and the thanks teacher I used the PAPER SMOOCHES smarty pants stamp set. I first stamped the crayons out using my TIM HOLTZ distress inks and then colored them in with my copics.

You Tube Challenge tag!!

Hello :)

 

Today I wanted to share a tag I created for a YouTube challenge.

Aottmers224 is having an 1100 Subbie giveaway challenge where you were to create a tag and decorate it however you wanted. It was to include your YouTube Channel name as well as your address and date of birth.

 

 

My tag was created using the Graphic 45 Secret Garden collection as the background.

The fence is a die from The Greeting Farm and the image is Fairy Abigail from C.C Designs.

The banner are cutout embellishments from the Secret Garden collection and on it is my YouTube channel name. I wanted it to be really dimensional so mostly everything is on pop dots. (love those)

 

Thank you for stopping by :)

Card made for a YouTube challenge!!!!

Hello fellow bloggers :)

Today I spent some time entering some YouTube challenges.

The first challenge required you make a card using a C C design image or an image from Lala Land.

I do not own any Lala land stamps and have just started collecting C C design stamps so I only have 3

I ended up using my favorite of the 3 and she is Fairy Abigail.

Here is my card :)
 

Fairy Abigail was colored with my Copics.
Stardust stickles were added to her wings,
I used the Collage Art stack from DCWV,
the pearl trim is from recollections and I've had it in my stash for at least 1 year lol.
The small roses were purchased from a de-stash group on Facebook.

Thank you for stopping by :)

Teacher Thank you Card!!

Hello :)

 

I have started making the cards that will go with the end of the year gifts that my 2 boys will be giving their teachers. I live in southern new jersey and school doesn't end for another 3 weeks so im happy I still have a bit if time :) I have to make 4 cards and this is the first one I created. I am entering it into 2 challenges this week.

 

 

The first challenge is the FARM FRESH FRIDAY challenge over at

http://splendidstamping.blogspot.com/ and this weeks challenge is PAPER PIECING.

I must admit this is my very first time trying this technique and I loved it. Maybe that's because I didn't pick an extremely detailed image :)

 

The second challenge I will be entering is SKETCHING UP MAY over at

http://anyoneforanya.blogspot.com/. They provided the following sketch.

 

 

 

 

Here is my card :)

 

 

I wanted to keep it a bit simple and this sketch was perfect for that.
