A Card For Me

I’ve been struggling with headaches everyday now for about 3 weeks. And today, this one just won’t go away. I went into my craft space to try and take my mind off the pain, and realized I haven’t entered the Chick Challenges With {ippity} yet this week! So I made a card following their sketch, and when I went to decide on the sentiment, I thought a Get Well one was fitting. For me anyway! I used three ippity sets on this one, Now and Always, Friends are Priceless, and How You Doin? Time to go link this up, and then lay down for awhile. Thank you for stopping by!

Clean and Simple {ippity}

The challenge theme this time over at the Unity Opportunity blog is CAS. So I got out my ippity stamps and made a quick anniversary card. I used 2 stamp sets, Just wanted to Say, and The Simple Things. I used Stampin Up markers on the flowers and stems, and the sentiment I inked with Gathered Twigs DI. Check out the link above if you’d like to enter, or just see more ippity creations! I finally broke down and bought a mini tripod for my camera. Yay! No more blurry pictures!! 🙂 Thanks so much for looking in!

Challenge Me Monday Celebrates #100!

Happy Tuesday to you all! The Fantabulous Cricut blog is celebrating their 100th Challenge Me Monday! They have a special color challenge to follow, the colors of their blog! How cool! Purple, Turquoise, and Green.

I am celebrating along with them this week, and made a card from the Give a Hoot cartridge that I just got. So many cute images on this cart. I’ll be using it often I’m sure! I made another scene card, and am really happy with this one! The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn. Come join the celebration! Simon Says Stamp is the sponsor this week, and is giving away a $25.00 voucher to one winner!!

Craft Stix and Stamp Storage video

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve made a quick video today! Although it took over 2 hours to upload to youtube! Goodness sake! Anyway, hope you enjoy! At the end of the video I forgot to mention that movie store DVD cases won’t work for stamp storage, already tried that. You can’t remove the CD insert, and some of them are a weird textured plastic, and the stamps won’t cling to them. Here it is:

The Greeting Farm

Hello everyone! We have two sponsors this week at 2 Sister’s Challenge Blog!  The Greeting Farm, and The Digi Garden! The theme is Anything Goes!! I have used a Greeting Farm image called Huey Birdhouse. I think he’s too cute building the birdhouse and all! The first one is colored with markers(roseart and stampin up) and made him into a fox. The second card is colored with watercolor pencils, and I made him into a skunk! I’m pretty sure he’s a fox, but he makes an awfully cute skunk too!! Go check out the challenge blog, I’d love for you to enter!!

It’s Friends With Flair Day!

Happy Friday! It’s time for Unity’s FWF! I got a head start this time around, and made this tag last night. I used the Simple Stories itty bitty Year o graphy Best Day. I masked off the calender and inked around it, love how it pops off the tag! I just wish my picture taking skills were just as good! I have a nice Nikon camera, but just can’t get a good pic, there are so many settings on the thing, it drives me crazy!! Anyway, The stamped flowers and sentiment are from the ippity line, and the punched flowers have two coats of UTEE on them. I’ll keep this tag for my Mom’s birthday. Thank you for stopping in, enjoy the rest of the FWF!!

A Scene

This is my first real attempt at making a scene on a card. I’ve seen some really cute one’s around blogland, and thought I’d give it a try. Over at the Lawnscaping Challenge, the theme is distress mania. To distress your project any way to see fit. Mine is done with inks. Every image I used Distress Inks on, and the blue card base is distressed as well. Lawnscaping Challenge is based on Lawn Fawn Stamps, but not required to enter. I used 5 different Lawn Fawn sets on my little scenery card. Critters in the Forest, Critters on the Farm, Critters in the Snow, Bannerific, and Jessie’s ABC’s. It was really fun cutting out all the little animals and arranging them. Everything is stamped on patterned paper except the banner. Check out the link above if you’d like to join in the fun! Lawn Fawn is sponsoring the challenge this time, and is giving away a free stamp set! Yay!

It’s a Sketch

I’m following a sketch challenge over at Chick Challenges with Ippity. If you check out their blog, Kim has made a lovely gift bag from this sketch, which you can see below. I went with a card, and made the top by tracing a Top Note die cut onto the front, and used my craft knife to cut it out. I used two ippity sets for the stamping, Sing a New Song, and How You Doin? You can’t really tell in the pic, but the stamped scallops are embossed in clear powder, and I used Wild Honey ink. I tried to get the top matched up, so I cut a circle in half and added some twine. Not too bad! And the weather here today is very dark and dreary, so I couldn’t get a real good picture. Plus I need a tripod because my hands shake so much! Hope it will do! Thanks for looking in!

My Little Guy LO

I have not done a scrapbook LO for awhile now, and the challenge at the Authentique blog kick started me to get one finished! You’ll see the sketch to follow below, and I love scrapbook sketches. It helps me with the design. I find that I take too long deciding on where to put photos, titles, etc., so this helps me soo much! All the papers came from the Authentique Journey 6×6 pad, and I stamped the top of the page with some cute Stampabilities stamps with Antique Linen DI, and I also stamped the dump truck with Walnut Stain DI onto more patterned paper. A cute button and a title sticker, and done! One more page done, 100’s more to do!!

A Cabin in the Woods

That is the name of this digital stamp by Robyn’s Fetish. That is our sponsor this week at 2 Sister’s Challenge Blog. and the winner will recieve 5 digital stamps from their shop! The theme is stitching, real or faux, and I went with real. That’s the only time my sewing machine gets used! After coloring my image, I added some snow paint by Marvy, to add some texture. The wood plank paper is by Karen Foster, scraps of cardstock, spellbinders die, buttons, and the ippity stamp set House a Home for the sentiments. I hope some of you will join us this week! Thank you for stopping by!
