Graphic 45 Design Team 2012 Audition

Oh my goodness wouldn't it be amazing to be on Graphic 45's Design Team? I LOVE their paper so much.  The graphics are amazing and the quality of the paper is wonderful to work with.

As part of the audition they ask that you post a minimum of 6 projects. 


I created four new cards and I have 7 of my favorite projects using Graphic 45 paper. It was easy creating four new cards because I have been hoarding my G45 paper. Creating is easy when you have beautiful paper.


This first one I also created for the Merry Monday Challenge #7. It is a sketch challenge this week.

I just love the vintage images on the Graphic 45 paper. 

This card could be for any occasion. It make me think of my Grandmother who lived in Atlantic City in the 1930's.

I just love the little bunnies on this paper.  This is from Once Upon a Spring Time. The hand carved bunny has been one of my favorite things for many years and when I saw this paper I just had to have it.  I cut out one of the images and popped it up on the die cut. Then I used Glossy Accents to make the image pop. The bow is seam binding that I dyed.

I used Once Upon a Spring Time paper to create this card. I cut one of the fairies out, covered her with glassy accents and popped her up above the same one on the paper. The flower I created with a cheese cloth like material and an earring.  This card makes me think of a fairy garden. 

Here are 7  of my favorite projects.

  

This looks like Graphic 45 paper but this is my Grandmother.  She had a flower shop on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City in the 1930's.

Here is the video for this project.

Here is the link to this card.

Thanks for stopping and taking the time to look around.
Wish me luck!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #11

I am really getting into doing these year long Christmas card challenges. Someone should have a clean your closets and drawers challenge ones a week and maybe I would get on top of my house work. LOL
Any way this week at the Christmas Card Challenge blog there is a wonderful sketch. 

AND 

Yesterday I was shopping at Heather Ellis's Etsy shop and bought 4 of her darling Pure Innocence digital images. They are on sale for $1.65. I just love coloring her images with Copic markers.

So here is my card.

Isn't this just the cutest card. Max sat still so I could get the coloring just right on this sweet little kitty. The image is called Purr Button 016. The die cut I used to cut him out is one I just got from MFT. I almost made him to big for the cut but it worked perfect. I might go in and make the image a tiny bit smaller in my file. That is what I love about digital images. You can make them any size you want. The inside is lined with white copy paper and punched with the MS loopy ribbon punch and stamped Merry Christmas with a SU stamp.


Thank you Stephanie I am loving this challenge! The best part is all the cards I am collecting.

The challenge is to used Lace and Butterflies on your card.  The challenge runs until March 7th and there well be two winners. The prize is a set of six Flexmarkers. I would love to be one of the winners. 


I created a shabby chic card using one of the die cut vintage ladies I have in my shop, some of my vintage lace, a MS butterfly punch and a SU butterfly die cut. I colored her with copic markers. The DP is some Webster's Pages that I got in that wonderful rack from Sue. I lined it with some vintage paper and punched that with MS Ribbon Loop border punch.

Christmas Card

Today I worked on two Christmas cards for tow different challenges.
This first one is for Christmas Card Challenge Week #10 the challenge this week is to Create Your Own Background. I got this TH Embossing folder after Christmas and I am so happy to have a chance to use it. I embossed some green Coredinations Paper, sanded it and layered it on really cute BasicGrey paper from the Jovial Paper Pad. I kinda covered it up but I did punch out some things from the middle before I glued it all together. I used the same paper in the inside and for the circle around 25 and the little guy at the top.

Here is the inside

My next card is for Merry Monday Challenge #6  They had this wonderful sketch.

Here is my card for that challenge.

I used the same paper pack and a couple of Amuse stamp sets. I colored the image with Copic markers. Then added Baby Blue stickles to the ice and snowflakes.

Now I have  two more cards for my Christmas stash. I am so glad I am doing this. It will be fun when Christmas time comes and I have a ton of cards ready to go.

Have a great weekend and be sure to check out the new challenge tomorrow at SSDS.

Sebastian

This morning I was reading Amy's post at Tsuruta Designs and it really touched my heart.
This is what Amy had at the top of her post.

 It really caught my attention.

Then she suggested that you read a teacher's blog about her student named Sebastian. Being a retired teacher I had to see what she was talking about.  Reading the teachers's blog I was so touched and thought about all the amazing things I learned over the years from the children I taught. Please take a moment to read what this teacher has written about Sebastian. It is worth your time to read it even if that is all that you do.

Amy is challenging everyone to make a card. She is even offering a prize. I hope if you read this you will send a card to brighten one little boys day. You can read all about sending the card here. And you can read about Amy's challenge here.

This is the card I am sending to Sebastian.

The star is from my gift from Sue. The image is from By LORi Designs. The image is on a wobble. 

I used the sketch from Card Patterns Weekly Sketch Blog.

LESSology Challenge #11

We have a fun challenge called Flights of Fantasy. I took the flight part seriously and made this whimsical bird.

I formed the bird with two cells from an egg carton.  Then I painted it white.

The legs are the metal things you tie your turkey together with to keep the stuffing from falling out. 

For the base I covered a box with DP from CTMH and poked the legs into that. Then I covered the bird with feathers. Next I added a flower to the front of the bird, and the base. The base flower is a daisy that I added a homemade embellishment to the center. 

The last thing I added was a Tim Holtz ticket tags that says SOAR. This was so much fun. Feathers were flying everywhere. LOL This whimsical bird will remind me to SOAR with my ideas.


You can see how I created this in this video.

Oh my goodness I am feeling so blessed. I got the most amazing box of goodies today from a dear sweet lady named Sue.  She had been watching one of my videos and said that something I had said was just what she need to hear at the time. She asked if she could send me a little something. Oh my goodness this was way more that a little something to me.

Here is a little peek at what I saw when I opened the box.

You can see everything in the video. It is so amazing. I am just blown away. Thank you sooooo very much Sue.
