SketchSaturday #60

This sketch came from http://sketchsaturday.blogspot.com/. I just got some of the new SU papers and stamps so was in the holiday spirit. With this card I used the stamps Eat Drink & Be Scary and Autum Harvest. The spider is from SU 2003 but I'm not sure on the set's name. For the paper I used Elegant Eggplant, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Cast A Spell. I also used Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Black ink.. A little bit of pumpkin pie ribbon and some Fire Square brads finish the card.

I tried using a color scheme suggested by SU for this card. I used Soft Suede, Cameo Coral, white and Bermuda Bay CS. I also used Bermuda Bay DS paper. I used the SU embosslit HI and Garden Whimsey stamp set. For background on the white CS I used the stamp set Sprinkles. Also, to give the soft suede some texture I used Itty Bitty Backgrounds with Versa Mark Dazzle. Have a great weekend.

MojoMonday week 95

This is my take on MojoMonday 95. The stamp sets used are Christmas Punch and The More The Merrier. The inks used are Real Red, Old Olive and Basic Brown. I used White, Real Red and Old Olive CS. The designer paper is retired and I'm not sure on the name. I colored the snowmen with my markers and added a little olive twine to finish it off.

Friday Sketchers #59

July is a busy month for me. My Dad's birthday is also in July so this is what I came up with. The papers are Crushed Curry, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede and DS Tall Tales all from SU. I used bleach to stamp on the Soft Suede first and then I stamped again using Chocolate Chip ink. The stamp set is from Thoughts of Father. I used Itty Bitty Backgrounds on both the Crushed Curry and Rich Razzleberry. The make a wish came from the set Small Talk.

SketchSaturday #58

My niece's birthday is coming up so I thought I should get busy with her card. I tried a tecnique France showed me. I used Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo, Glossy and Bermuda Bay papers. I dry embossed the Melon Mambo with the sizzix plate Shimmer Sparkle. I used the stamp set Circle Circus on the glossy paper stamped with white craft ink. I then embossed it with glitter power. The inks I used after embossing are Bermuda Bay, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. On the Crushed Curry I used the same ink and used Backgroud Basics to give some flair. The Happy Birthday came from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. A little Bermuda Bay ribbon to top it off. Happy 4th to you!!

Birthday Card

For this card I used Manchester and Very Vanilla papers, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Always Artichoke ink and the stamp sets Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories. I colored the truck and presents with my water color pencils.

MojoMonday week 92

Mrs. Lake at Davis Elementary School has adopted my son and her classes support him when he is deployed. On the last day of school the kids all brought in the packets of mixes to add to water and then they boxed them all up and sent 2 flat rate USPS boxes to Chris. He finally received them in IRAQ so I thought I should send Mrs. Lake a card. Most of the paper is from a Marine Corps paper pack but I did use Very Vanilla and Night of Navy from SU. The stamp came from the set Note of Thanks and I used Bording Blue ink.

Little girl Birthday Card

I made this card for my girlfriend's daughter's 3rd birthday. I used the embossing plate girl time on Orchard Opulance from SU. The rest of the paper is just various scraps. I used Melon Mambo ribbon and ink. The sentiment was stamped with Teeny Tiny Wishes. Minnie was cut on my Cricut. She was time consuming but well worth it. Looks like I still need more training on my bows tho.

MojoMonday week 91

I messed up really bad at work today and my boss ended up staying late 2 hours to help me find my mistake. I thought she deserved a nice card for being so understanding. I used Sweet Slumber paper, Baja Breeze ribbon along with Soft Suede and Baja Breeze inks. The mouse stamp is from the Merry Mix stamp set and I used Teeny Tiny Wishes for the Thank You. I used my colored pencils for the mouse. I hope the rest of the week goes much better than today. Enjoy!!

MojoMonday week 90

I needed a quick birthday card for my youngest son. I used Good Morning Sunshine paper from SU and the retired set Alphabet Soup and one of the new stamp sets, The More The Merrier. I used markers on the cupcake and Pacific Point ink on the Happy Birthday.

Graduation

These are a couple more pages that I put together last weekend while at an all day crop. My goal is to have the boot camp graduation pictures done before Chris gets home next month for leave. I'm just a tad behind, in September he will have been in the Marine Corps for 3 years.

Boot Camp Graduation

I am working on my son's military album. These pictures were from his boot camp graduation. I have never been more proud!! The ceremony was awesome.

Color Throwdown #45

This was my first try for http://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/. This is week #45 and the color combo was Green Galore, Pink Passion and Chocolate Chip. I would have never put these colors together but I think it turned out pretty good.

For this card I used http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/ week 55. The paper I used is SU Rockabilly with Heartfelt Thanks and Oval All stamp sets. The inks used are Real Red, So Saffron, Always Aritichoke, Pretty in Pink and Kiwi Kiss. It's a little bold, but I like how it turned out. Enjoy your week!!!

I made this thinking of you card for my Aunt. We just found out that she has breast cancer and I thought she could use a little "pickup". I used the paper from Patterns Pack II which is a hostess set from SU. I used the Loads of Love stamp set and then my watercolor pencils to color.

MojoMonday week 89

For this week's mojo I used Manchester, Baja Breeze, Almost Artichoke and Close to Cocoa papers and the stamp set Eight Great Greetings from SU. I cut the present using the Celebrations cartridge for my Cricut. I hope you have a great week!

MojoMonday week 88

Here's my take on this week's mojo. I used Manchester designer paper, 8 Great Greetings stamp set, and Always Aritichoke ink all from SU. I have a hard time with masculine cards but am pleased with this one. Only 5 more days til the next mojo!!

Since I am a few month's behind in my grandson's album, I decided it was time to get busy. These pages are really simple but I just wanted to showcase little Jaxen.

MojoMonday week 87

Well it's only Saturday and I finally got this week's card done. I used Bella Birds paper with some various embellishments. The saying came from the stamp set Full of Life.

MojoMonday week 86

I used SU Bella Rose designer paper, A Little Something and Simply Said stamps and Ridinghood Red adn Pretty In Pink ink. I gave this to my friend for her birthday.
