SISC 21 Petals and Swirls

Good Morning, today begins a new challenge over at StampInsanity. SISC 21 is Petals and Swirls Galore. I kept it simple by using the Tattered Florals die by Tim Holtz and this sentiment from the  Zeke and Maddie set by StampInsanity. I found this sketch from One Stitch At A Time Challenge 24.

SPCC 54 Last Card As A SPCC Diva

Is it really Monday already? Where did the weekend go? We went to the beach on Saturday and the kids had a blast. I'm still worn out from being in the sun all day. I hope you had a fab weekend.

For my card I used Maddie from the stamp set Zeke and Maddie by StampInsanity. I colored her in with Copics. This was my first attempt at a round card. Next time I will need to use a smaller image or just a sentiment.

SPCC was my first DT and I will be forever grateful to Samantha. She must have seen something in me because she chose me before I owned any Copics and my water coloring skills were/are below par. Not saying my Copic skills are all that but I know they are better then my water coloring skills. Sadly I needed to let my term end. Samantha has a lot of new and exciting things going on, so I hope you head over to her blog and check them out. Even though I won't be a Diva any longer, I'll still hop on over and join the challenges.

FHF Recipe Challenge 2

Is it Monday already? Yikes where did my weeken

d go? I went too fast and this is the last week of school for the kids. I have a feeling this week is going to go by fast.

This week is a new recipe challenge over at Friends Having Fun. The recipe this time around is to use pastel colors, embossing (wet or dry) and handmade flower(s). Our sponsor is StampInsanity.

I used Maddie from the set Zeke and Maddie by StampInsanity. I used Caardvark's May Sketch for my card. I made the pink rose, can't believe I remembered how to make them from high school. The crochet flower was made by Jennifer's mom. I used a cuttlebug folder to emboss the pink card stock. I hope you like, thanks for stopping by!

Friends Having Fun Recipe Challenge

Hello again, this is my post for Friends Having Fun's First Recipe Challenge. The recipe is below.

Theme: April Fool's!

a shiny application (stickles, glitter, shimmerz, glimmer mists...)
3 different patterned papers
hand cut your patterned papers!!!!(my hand cut DP are Maddie's dress, Zeke's

shirt and pants)
a funny quote, phrase or sentiment

This challenge is being sponsored by:

The winner of this challenge will

win a $10.00 GC to the store!

Wow, what a cool recipe, huh? The toughest part was the hand cutting 3 different DP. I decided that if I used Zeke and Maddie I could paper piece their clothes. I then had to find DP that would look good on Zeke. Ok so I cheated a bit because I colored over Zeke's pants. If you look closely though you can see the DP :). I'm not sure if my sentiment is funny but it was really funny to me when I made this card, the hubby and daughter didn't get it though.

I very carefully gave Maddie fangs with my black Copic. I put glitter glue all over her dress and added the black bling for my sparkle.

I hope you get a chance to join us at Friends Having Fun. I also hope you get a chance to visit the rest of the DT.

Today StampInsanity announced their first challenge along with releasing some new digi images (this is not one, lol). If you want a peak at the new images check them out here. You will want to see these flirty girlies because they are super cute and sexy at the same time :). I think Joszette is my favorite.

On to my card, I made this for StampInsanity Sketch Challenge 1. Wow it took me around 3 hours to make this card. I'm not sure if you can tell but I distressed the edges of the background DP as well as the white pieces of card stock with Basic Gray and Black ink. I also had to cut the image out because I stamped her too close to the edge to use my oval nestabilities. It wasn't that easy cutting around her hair with a fractured arm but I took my time and managed to do a decent job. I am loving the way this card turned out.

I decided to add the sentiment because I have a lot of birthdays coming up in the next couple month. Need to make sure I have plenty on hand. Most importantly I need to make sure I mail them, yeah shame on me I'm not very good at that. I'm sure my bloggy friends will help keep me on track.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I was able to do some coloring and this great card :). I made this card using my last full sheet of Cool Caribbean card stock, isn't that just the saddest thing ever, lol. Seriously though I did love that color, now I just have scraps unless I hunt for it on Ebay, but I doubt I'd do that.

Anyways I made this using Zeke & Maddie by StampInsanity. Aren't they a cute couple? My kids insist they are not a couple. They said they are siblings, lol. Kids just don't get it, lol. I colored them to go with this DP, I added Clear Spica to the red in Maddie's outfit. Thanks for looking :).
