Stamp TV Sketch Challenge

This is the card I made for Stamp TV's sketch challenge. I didn't have the die cut that was on the layout so I used a square one and another one. Then I turned one. I didn't color the scarecrow because I though he looked good the way he was.

High Hopes Challenge #44 Wrap it Up

This weeks challenge for High Hopes is called Wrap it Up. The challenge was to make anything but a card. I found these boxes in out copy room and thought they would make cute gift card boxes. Instead of cards I am going to put tea bags in this on and give it as a get well gift. A lot of the teachers are already coming down with sore throats and bad colds. I thought this might make them feel better.
The stamp is from High Hopes and the "tea for two" and the little tea cup on the flap are from a Hero Arts stamp set. I colored the angle with Copic markers. I also used atyou Spica baby blue glitter pen on the wings.
I made this on Sunday but I schedule the post for today. I hardly get to my email during the week. I really like that I can schedule post for different days.
Thanks for stopping and let me know what you think.

Five Challenges in One

This is a quick post before I go to school. I made this card yesterday for five challenges. It didn't take long. The stamps and gems are from Hero Arts. I shaded and colored a little with Copic markers. I use CM circle cutter to cut out the circles and a SU punch to punch out the images. The letters and rick rack were cut using my Cricut and Plantin School book. The card stock is SU Pumpkin Pie.
CPS 133: sketch
Pile It On: Colors Black, White and one other I picked orange
ABC: Die Cut Plantin School Book
Stamp Something: Favorite Embellishments I love little sticky gems
Stamp Simple: Halloween
Ok, like me know what you think. I am off to teach my little ones.

Color Throwdown and Unscripted Sketches

I made this card for Color Throwdown and Unscripted Sketches. The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Close to Cocoa, and Ruby Red. The stamps I used were from a set called Trendy Trees from SU. The ribbon is from SU and it is Ruby Red. I was surprised ruby red was so orange. The stamp behind the ribbon is from a set called Boutique Borders from CTMH that I stamped with Memento Cocoa ink .
So what do you think?

High Hopes Halloween Card

Gary went fishing today so I went to my craft room. I really need to unwind. It was a long four days of school. The week didn't end so well. It was hot and the children were worn out. Then I was in my classroom until 6:00p.m. looking for my keys. I had my car key but I need my school keys and I never did find them. So I had to call the principle. I sure hope they show up on Monday morning. Maybe it was a sign that I shouldn't go to school this weekend. I brought a bunch of work home with me and I'll get to that after I finish this.
I made this card for High Hopes Challenge which was a Halloween card. This was last Sundays challenge. I am not sure I will get it in on time but that's OK I had fun making it.
The stamp is from High Hopes. The ant has a plant in his hands on the stamp but I just changed it to the pumpkin by masking out the plant and masking in the pumpkin. The card is pumpkin pie from SU and the stamp on the side is from a set by CTMH. I just picked it on Thursday night. It is a neat set with different boarders. I colored the ant with Copic markers. The Trick or Treat is from Mouse House & Friends.
Well this is number two of the five project I completed today. Thanks for stopping and let me know what you think.

Scrapbook Challenge 29

While I was at school last Saturday Gary was up at the cabin with his sons and this is what he caught. It is a 41 in. musky. The fish got a good bite out of Gray's thumb while they were getting him in the boat. He was fishing for walleye with minnows and this guy got caught on the lip. I guess fish have lips. Gary's thumb is getting better. He didn't need get stitches. He was happy to have a picture.
I love Theresa's Happer Camper stamp set. If you look close I stamped the white paper with the little fish. I stamped once on other paper than on the journal and quote paper.

Wild Card Cricut Cartridge

This is the third thing I accomplished on Sunday.
I was watching the videos over at the Pink Stamper to learn how to use some of my Cricut cartridges. I made this card with the Wild Card Cartridge. I used the colors from last weeks Color Throwdown; Regal Rose, Always Artichoke, and Chocolate Chip. The leaves are from a stamp set by Gina K called Signs of Autumn. The sentiment is from a stamp set called Elegant Post by Nina Brackett. I used my Cuttle bug to emboss the center of the flower. The Potluck Friday challenge at Stamp TV was called Outside the Lines that is how I came up with the stem for the flower.
I need to spend more time making cards with my Cricut it is so much fun to use.

Grandparents Day 2008

I made this page for Stamp TV Scrapbook page challenge. I am starting to plan this years Grandparent visit and I am just getting to last years scrapbook page.
I used the stamp set called Back to School by Rupa Shevde at Stamp TV. I stamped it with Memento Potter's Clay. I colored with the images with Copic markers B34, BC32, Y13, R35. I cut the title with my cricut.

I Am Back!

Hi everyone, Boy has this been an exhausting week. Every year I forget how seven year old children drain you of your energy. Next year I am going to the Mall of America to acclimate myself to all the movement and noise before the first week of school.
I spent 8 hours in my classroom yesterday getting ready for next week. Today I played in my scrape room. I feel so renewed. I made this card for Color Throwdown, Unscripted Sketches 22, ABC Challenge, and Pile it On. I can't do a card everyday now so when I do one I have to make it count.
The colors are SU Regal Rose, Always Artichoke, and Chocolate Chip. The DP and stamp are from SU. The image is mounted on Chocolate Chip that was cut out with Shapeabilities Fancy Tags. I just got it in the mail from Stamp TV. I LOVE it. The sentiment is a stamp from CTMH called For Every Occasion. The ABC challenge is C for circle. I think dots are circles. The designer paper also has circles on it. Pile it On's challenge this week is to make a birthday card.
I made another card and a scrapbook page that I will post later this week.
I sure miss being here everyday. Thanks for stopping and leave me a comment to let me know you were here and what you think about the card.

Only One Challenge

I used the sketch from Unscripted Sketch challenge 21. The colors are from Color Challenge #2 at Squigglefly. When I got the colors I didn't realize that I needed to use a Squigglefly image. I have some because I got one a day for the month of May. Oh well this will only work for one challenge. This card was fun to make. I love the image. It is from Mouse House & Friends. I got it a few months ago at Hobby Lobby. The original price was $19.99. Hobby Lobby's price was $16.99. I found it in a clearance bin marked $6.47. Maybe that is why I like it so much. No, I really do love the little mouse.
I used Kraft, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry card stock. I stamped the image with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored the pumpkin images with Copic markers YR09, YR04, YR16. For the mouse I used R11, W2, R00. The Boo and little foot prints were stamped with CTMH Vineyard Berry ink. I added a little Stardust glittering gel ink to give it a little sparkle.
The inside is a stamp from the same set. I guess you can tell that. I used oval Nestabilities and layered that over Shapeabilities Double Ended tags. The brads are from SU.
What do you think?
