I Am So Excited I have some news!

Hi Everyone,
Here is a quick card I made this morning before I went to school. The image is from Squigglefly by Robin Willis. I made this card for Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays. Now for the exciting part I am now on their design team. Yes, my first design team! Can you see me doing my happy dance? Now head over there, see all the talented artists and join in their challenges.
Thanks for stopping,


PS: This also works for another great challenge Stampin for the Weekend.

Bee Crafty and more

Hi, This is going to be a quick post tonight.
Isn't this the cutest image? This is free at Bee Crafty and I made this card for their Challenge # 26 "Spring." The little flower buttons were made by punching card stock with the SU three flower punch and gluing three layers together. Then I put CTMH CG on it. After it dried I used a paper piercer to make the holes. I distressed the edge of the oval and inked the edges. The image was colored with copic markers. The eyes are gems and the nose is a tiny heart gem by AMUSE.
I was checking out some challenges and this card works for:
Pile It On: pastel colors
Pixie Challenge: Buttons and Flowers
Sussie's Sassy Challenge: Easter
Rosie D's: Think Spring
Stamp with Fun: Spring.
La la land Crafts: Pastels.
By the Cute and Girly: Spring is in Air.
Secret Crafter #74 "Anything Goes"
Cute Card Thursday : Celebrations

More St. Patty's Day

This was a fun card to make. I made it for two challenges, a color challenge at Squigglefly, and a technique challenge for Just Us Girls challenge #24 . The technique was to make a flap card.
The image is from Squigglefly by Robin Willis. Squigglefly is a digital stamp company. They have so many images. You download the image. Then you car rotate, flip, resize, and print your image. The best part is you can use it again and again. I got one for easter that I will show you later this week.
This image is called Top O' The Mornin' and I printed it on SU So Saffron. Next I cut around the image, and went around that edge with a gold pen. I printed the image again on white, colored it with Copic markers, cut it out and popped it up. I used the same St Patrick's Day paper that I have been using from Best Creations. Those two sheets of DP have gone a long way. I wish I could remember were I got it. You can see the magnet on the flap but the other one is under the shamrock. They were not very strong so I couldn't hide both of them.
The last picture is the inside. The stamp is from CTMH. The paper on the side is the same DP just the other side. The little shamrocks are stickers.
This card also work for a Cute Card Thursday Challenge 103 which is Celebrations.
I hope you are enjoying my cards because I sure have fun making them.

Unscripted Sketches #46

Well it is Sunday evening and I have had a fun weekend making cards. This is the card I made following Unscripted Sketches #46. All of the outside is DP. It is the same paper I used on the March 7th post by Best Creations Inc. The ribbon I had and the charm I just got yesterday at one of my favorite scrapbook stores called The Memory Bank. The shamrock on the ribbon was cut from the same paper.
I have one more St. Patrick's Day card to show you tomorrow. That will be the last St. Patty's Day card. I sure like making green cards. I miss seeing green so much this time of the year. That must be why I have enjoyed making all these green cards.
Have you notice I put a counter on my blog? If you don't leave a comment I will still know that you (or someone) is stopping. I would love it if everyone who stops would leave a comment and become a follower. My blog will be one very soon and I am trying to come up with some way to celebrate. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

One for JUGS And a New Challenge

I made this card for JUGS. I love the name of that blog Just Us Girls. What a great name but there are men who are hooked on the craft. One that is famous is Tim Holtz. The girls have some great things going on at their blog. The DT is made up of some very talented ladies.
This card was made using some of my favorite paper Cosemo Cricket paper called Mr. Campy Flannel. I love the colors. The edge or border on the left was cut from SU Very Vanilla with my Cricut and the Easter 2010 cartridge. Isn't that a cool border? I welded it together using my Gypsy so that it would fit the card. The ribbon is SU Riding Hood Red.the base card is dark brown. I used Nesties to cut the dark brown scallop circle. I paper piersed the the scallops to go with the stitching in the paper. Maybe I should use a white jell pen to make it show up. The tulip stamp is from the Angel Co. and was colored with Copic markers. I used SU Very Vanilla and another piece of DP for the inside.

I got one of those light boxes to take pictures in and I really don't think it is making much difference. The colors still are not showing up as nice as they really are. I still have a lot to learn.

Happy St Pat's

This card is going to my 89 year old aunt whose name is Pat Sheehan for St. Patty's day. Now this is one very green card. It works for quite a few challenges.
Pile It On - The One You Must
Crafty Creations -Monochromatic
Stampin For The Weekend - Monochromatic
The Pink Elephant - Green
Inky Impressions - Green
Cute Card Thursday - Green
Twisted Thursday - Green
Catch The Bug - Green
Crafty Catz - Green
Prairie Fairy - Green and the sketch is Card Positioning System.
The base card is SU Gable Green and the accent is SU Glorious Green. The DP is from Best Creations Inc. The images in the circles are from the same paper on the other side. I just cut them out with a circle cutter. The hat image is cut and popped up with pop dots. the corners are by Stampendous. The outside was so fancy I wanted the inside to look great too. I used Heidi Swamp's letter stamps to stamp the inside. I went over the letters with a Spica pen to make them glitter . The shamrocks are from the same paper and I used one jem on one. This card took no time at all and I really like the way it turned out. I know Aunt Pat will like it.
I am seeing a little more green outside every day, but there is still way too much white out there for me.
Have a great week and thanks for stopping,

Unscripted and Color Throwdown

Today is opening day for trout fishing and hubby left at 4:30 AM. It was 16 degrees. He REALLY loves to fish. That gives me the day to make cards. Oh Happy Days. I have to wait until May for trout to eat. This is catch and release.
Ok on with the cards. I made this one for the Unscripted Sketches Challenge 48, Color Throwdown Challenge 82 and Crazy 4 Challenges which is paper piercing. The colors are Not Quite Navy which I used for the base, and Ruby Red which is on the right side. I embossed it with my Score Pal. The DP paper by Reminisce called Apple Orchard. The shamrock was cut with SU Old Olive and a Cricut cartridge called Paper Dolls. I used SU Teeny Tiny Wishes for the Happy St. Patricks Day. The hardware and twine are from SU. The inside was stamped with CTMH stamp set called So Lucky.
My mothers maiden name was Sheehan and my brother married a Quinn. You may be seeing more St. Patrick's Day cards because I do send them. Both of Mom's parents were Irish and St. Patrictics Day was always a big day. Who doesn't love a day all about green beer! I love the fact that it means it is almost spring and the weather will get better.
Do you celebrate St. Pats Day? How do you celebrate?



I hope you enjoyed my card today. I had fun making it. Hubby had a great day too. He caught lots of fish and had lots of stories to tell.
