Wednesday's Card

Wednesday is going to be absolutely crazy around here so I am uploading now! I made this card for the Dirty Girl Challenges on Splitcoast Stampers. This was a sketch challenge from Beate. This is my favorite sketch so far! It just fell together for me! Gotta Love when that happens!!!!!
Paper: Close to Cocoa, whisper white, MME patterned and blue
Ribbon: May Arts
Tools: Mat Pack, Cuttlebug, Quick Cutz bottle cap and small circle, Quick Cutz rub ons
Stamps: Happy Everything

Have a great Wednesday!

Ok. This is a bit busy, wild and crazy for my taste but once I started cutting this thing out there was no turning back! I made this purse for the Dirty Girl challenge, think outside the box, for Splitcoast Stampers Fan club. You were supposed to make something besides a card. I used a template from a K&Co. purse kit that I got at Archivers. I just punched out the purse that they provided and traced it onto this patterned paper. I would do it again using less crazy paper!
-template: K&Co
-Patterned paper-MME Magnolia stack
-Flowers- Bazzil Wings, Prima
-other- non SU brads, stickles, ribbons, eyelets
-Tools- Cropadile, Cuttlebug Tiny Tags
Thanks for looking!

First Scrapbook Upload

I spent the day at Archivers this past Saturday. It was very relaxing! This is one of the pages that I completed of my daughter, Paige. We were at Cox Arboretum in Dayton, OH. When I got home from Archivers I realized that the patterned paper does not have a manufacturer on the back. I will check back at the store if anyone wants to know who made it. The letters and numbers are Lollipop die cuts from Ellison. I used Bazzil basics card stock for the letters and numbers. The flowers are from Hobby Lobby and the buttons are from Bag o' Buttons. The green ric rac is from MM.
Thanks for looking and have a fabulous day!


Shopping: For once in my life I don't know what I want to order this month from Stampin' Up. I need your input. This is quite possibly my last order for this cattie! What would you order?

I am so sorry that I have not posted in three days! I have been in a bit of a slump lately. I have two weeks until I need to get back into my classroom and I am not looking forward to leaving my two kids in daycare. WaH!
I know. Women do it every day! Now that you have listened to me whine here is one of my latest cards for the Dirty Girl Challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge was to create a toile inspired card.

I used:
-SU Warm words and Penny Black, Modesty stamps
-Whisper white and non SU textured black cardstock.
-Black Stazon Ink
-Non SU rhinestones
- Cuttlebug photo corners
-Non SU ribbed ribbon
I promise to post again tomorrow!

This is a card that I made for the Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Girl Challenge that started yesterday. Each day members of the Fan Club will get four challenges and on Saturday and Sunday there are eight. This is very motivating to me because it gives me a place to start! I made this card as a combination of the make a card with an animal challenge and the sketch challenge. I used:
Stamp: Studio G, $1 Michael's
Paper: Cosmo Cricket Dutch Girl paper,
Ink: Stazon ink,
Coloring: Prismacolor pencils and gamsol for coloring,
Tools: Marvy mega punch scallop circle, mat pack and piercing tool,
Embellishments: burlap ribbon from Walmart and SU white ribbon and So Saffron Eyelet.

Wow! I was busy stamping last night! I wanted to make a simple Javabella card. I used SU whisper white, close to cocoa, and certainly celery card stock. I used stazon black ink and Prismacolor pencils with Gamsola and blending stumps to color the ladies. I glazed the shoes and vase for a shiny effect (can't see it!). I used the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder. The ribbon is from May Arts.

For the second card I was attempting the Splitcoast color challenge. It was difficult for me to put these colors together. I am not loving it! I used the Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder, Word window punch, Fun Fibers, hemp twine, Old Olive, Regal Rose, and Pretty In Pink card stock. The Sentiment is Happy Everything.

For the third card I used Crate Paper! I love this paper. I attempted to do Jen del Muro's sketch challenge for this one. The sentiment is Happy everything. I used the ticket corner punch for the corners. I used non SU brads and ribbon.

Thanks for checking in!

So Very Blah!
