What a Big Saw You Have!

Hello, I made this for the Friday challenge HSC62 on the Hanna Stamps forum hosted by Ilina ok it was last Fridays challenge, but there's still time to play!

I love these colours together, I used not quite navy for the card base, a layer of very vanilla, the bottom is kiwi kiss, and the top is soft sky. The tree line was made with the EK alpine trail edge punch. all the edges of the grass & sky were sponged. I also used a stamp from SU itty bitty bg set on the grass area.

Timber Riley was stamped on white with black & coloured with prismacolour pencils & oms. His outfit is paper pieced with dp scraps. I used a fine black marker to draw in a collar, buttons for his shirt & pockets, belt loops & fly for his pants.

My favorite part on this card is his saw! The blade is actually a piece of the metal strip from a parchment paper box! The body of the saw was stamped on grey, cut out & glued on. Then I stamped another of his hands, cut is out & popped it up, so it kinda looks like he's wearing gloves!The image is mounted on circles cut with the nestie pinking die! It reminds me of a circular saw blade! This panel is popped up.

I finished it off with blue bayou ribbon & a little silver buckle.

Have a Great Day

Cool & Fabulous Meghan!

Hello, I made this for Erika's scrapbbok challenge STVSCR6 over on stamptv.

This is a picture of my Niece Meghan, the photo is a bit washed out due to the light, I had trouble getting a good pic with no reflection!

Anyway, when Meghans sister Lauren turned 7, my Sister planned a dress-up party. The kids dressed up, we took photos, printed them & then they painted & decorated frames to put their photos in. This is Meghan just being a cool older sister! (Note: you couldn't see the lines on the background sheet in the pics of the younger kids! lol)

The flowers on the bottom are from 'Flowers for Daisy' and the smiley face & sunglasses are from 'Little Tee's'. The edges of the flowers are sponged.

The glasses were stamped on black with versamark, and then embossed with black EP to give them a shiny look. I also popped the glasses up with tiny pop dots.The sentiment stamp is from SU Fabulous Flowers, it fit so perfectly!

Have a great weekend

Lavendar Dreams

Hello, I made this for the potluck challenge on stamptv hosted by Melanie Muenchinger. We were to use something other than a stamp to stamp on our creation! I used the fine net sleeve that garlic comes in to dab on colour in the background.

The card base is lavendar lace, with a layer of very vanilla. The corners have been punched with an EK corner notch punch. I masked off the edges at the top & dabbed on lavendar lace ink with the garlic net. The bottom is a torn piece of lavendar lace also dabbed with colour & the edges are sponged.

The image was stamped onto very vanilla with chocolate chip ink & I coloured in the buds with the lavendar lace marker. I then dotted the buds with a quickie glue pen & dipped them in dazzling diamonds glitter. The edges of this panel were distressed.

The sentiment was stamped in close to cocoa, because I thought the choc. chip might be to dark, and then I punched it out with the lg SU oval. The sentiment is popped up.

I finished it off with purple gems & a bow of vanilla taffetta ribbon.

Happy Friday

Lots & Lots of Bunnies!

Hello, I made these bunnies, all 40 of them for the 2nd annual Easter Egg Hunt, put on by my SIL Wendy.

They are so cute & easy to make. The bunny head, tail & body stamps are from cdstamps.com, in a set called Bunny Nuggets. The images were stamped with basic grey onto white. I added pink to the ears & cheeks with a prismacolour pencil.

Last year when I made these for the kids in my family, I cut out the tails. This year I punched out the tails with the SU 1/2" circle punch! much easier & quicker, but still looks good...well I think so anyway! lol I used 4 of the soft subtle colours, and stamped them onto address labels. The labels are wrapped around Hershey's nuggets. I had trouble finding these in my area, the bulk store only carries they at Christmas! My local Shoppers Drug Mart has them, but they're expensive, so I just wait for them to go on sale, which they often do.

note: you can click on most of the pictures on here to get a closer look. I have no idea why it doesn't work for all of them! something I have yet to figure out!

Have a great day!

Thankful Charlie in purple!

Hello, I made this for the guest designer challenge for cdstamps.com. We were to make a card of project using purple in some way.

I decided to use 'Charlie Daisy' He was stamped 2 times on white. I used copics to colour Charlie & the bg. I cut out Charlie's body & popped it up. The flower petals & butterflies have some sparkle added with the stardust pen. I also added stickles to the center of the flowers.

The flowers were made with a marvy punch, and the centers are made from a regular hole punch, I used the brown from the dp, I still might add crystal effects to the centers. The little butterflies were made with the Martha Stewart punch, and then covered with stardust pen.

I didn't come across this challenge til yesterday, and didn't have time to stamp til later in the evening. I was too late to enter the contest, darnit, I'll have to try again another time!

Thanks for stopping by, leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Hello, I made this for the March new set challenge hosted by Vicki (summerthyme64) on the Hanna Stamps forum. You can find all the details here there's still lots of time left to play, why not give it a try! We were to use the Wee Hanna stamp set and use primary colours only!

I started out intending to make a simple card, but the images were too cute to just use one, so I made a whole set complete with bed for wee Hanna & 2 faux dressers to store her clothes!

The images, Hanna & all her clothes were stamped with noir black onto white & coloured with copics. You can't see it in the photo, but I added sparkle with gelly roll pens to the red on the cheerleader's outfit, and the roses on the ballet outfit.

The folder is a regular card size, 5.5 x 4.25". The base is white. On the front I added real red to the top. The pillow was made with a square nestie. The bottom is real red dp with a strip of white I found in my scrap bin, already scalloped with an edge punch. I put 1/4" foam tape around the bottom & side edges on the bottom (blanket) panel. This makes it a little easier to slip the paper doll into.

The drawers on the inside were made with white & 2 strips of dp each to resemble drawers. The knobs were made with a standard hole punch. These were also attached with 1/4" foam tape around the 3 edges. I wrapped the ribbon around the whole thing, it's stuck down with tape. I left it long so it would be easier for little ones to tie up.

Olivia loves it, and the bed on the front was actually her idea! What do you think?

Have a Great Evening

I heart My Garden!

Hello, well I managed to squeeze 3 challenges into this one! The sketch challenge SC221, the colour challenge CC211, pretty kiwi breezes & the Friday challenge on the Hanna stamps forum, HSC61 embossing.

I used baja breeze for the background & stamped in matching ink with the weather bg stamp. The pink panel was embossed with the bloomin dots EF, and the kiwi kiss panel was embossed with the swiss dot EF. All the edges were sponged.

The image is from the "I love my garden" set. I stamped her onto white & coloured mostly with copics, but the blues are prisma colour pencils. This image is popped up. I also popped up the sentiment panel & then the little heart, made with a Martha Stewart punch. It's finished off with ribbon.

Let me know what you think, and have a great day!
