March 30, 2016 Anything Goes

      

                         ANYTHING GOES - ALWAYS THE 5th WEDNESDAY of the month!!!!

Always love it when there is and extra Wednesday in the month - like an added bonus - we get to do an "anything goes" project of our choice.  Can you see that I love this darling  fluffy Easter Duck 705-G and Easter balloons 4507-J from REPEAT IMPRESSIONS???

I sent several Easter cards last week and this is the one I sent to my great grandbabies.  Yes I used this versatile image last week.  
Colored   duck and balloons with my copic markers - used some more of the cute spring papers from Doodle Bug and made a little different fold.

March 29, 2016 Beautiful Ride

This card is so totally out of my comfort zone - BUT I watch the short videos by Unity Stamps and think "I could do that" - but then when I do it it just never seems I think I do like how this one turned out - using just a wash around the image - with watercolors.  Well as you can see the basket has some little pretty flowers - to cover up a couple of OOPS - but I do like how it turned out.  I think this card says "young" and my 14 year old granddaughter seems to need some extra encouragement from time to time I am going to save this one for her.  

March 27,2016 Blessed Easter

Is there a picture that brings thoughts of Easter more than the crosses, I used the sun from a SU set and I wish I knew who the crosses on the hill top was made by - because this is truly what Easter is about.,rejoice as he arose.  

March 26, 2016 Easter Greetings

Just had to make a couple more Easter cards using my Memory Box Easter die (that I won) - this die really can stand alone but added some flowers and the card was complete - plus a bit of ling in the center of the flowers.  As Easter Sunday approaches let us remember the true reason for this blessed day.                CHALLENGES

March 25, 2016 Pocket Card

I have been wanting to make a pocket letter/card for a long time but have always "feared" tackling the job but once you start the ideas just flow.  This was for a birthday that our sweet owner of Repeat Impressions owns (I am on the DT).  She LOVES cats so I went with a cat theme.  Wish there was a better way to have photographed this - as the plastic sleeves really cast some glare.  But you get the idea.  You make 8 trading cards and put them in the sleeves of a trading card sheet then on the other side you put embellishments in each pocket.  Well being a cat owner myself the ideas were endless.  I put a small zipper bag of kitty treats, some kitty buttons, Miss Kitty stickers, a sheet of kitty paw prints, a couple of "KIT-KAT" bars (get it), a kitty bookmark, ok you get the picture.  Then you write a letter to put in one of the pockets and fold it to fit.  Now that my MoJo is going I have to make a couple more of these fun projects for my daughter, chemo buddies, friend.   PS thank you Patti for helping me with my punch art kitty and for letting me stamp a couple of images I didn't have.  It was a fun day of crafting at a friends house.

GOOD MORNING

t

Today is sketch challenge over at THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT and this was such a fun sketch to work with this week.  I knew I wanted to use my CUTE Easter duck 705-G from

REPEAT IMPRESSIONS  and the sentiment Happy Spring 1301-F on my spring card.  I had a partial pad of Easter/Spring papers from Doodlebug that went perfect with this image.  

I colored the duck up with my copic markers, and added a bit of glitter with my spica glitter pen on the bow and hat band.  This card is already out the door to sweet great grandkids.

Hoping you join us using the sketch and enter our challenge over at The House that Stamps Built.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps BUT if you do you will get an added bonus of an additional entry in the random drawing for a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate.  If you go check out my side bar you will see a 10% discount on Repeat Impressions stamps.  Would love to have you join us.

Now why not check out why my teams mates have made using this sketch.

March 20, 2016 Happy Easter 1

 

Isn't this a fun simple Easter card - you see I WON - the Happy Easter dye made by Memory Box by leaving a comment on PAM SPARKS  blog Expressions with Heart.  PAM does the most amazing things with dies, so much talent.  You really need to go check her out.  This die although intricate cut very easily and I had just gotten the cutesy bunnies at a cute little shop in Kirkwood MO> called
The Checkered Cottage.  Such a fun shop - lots of "stuff" in every nook and cranny plus fun unique gifties.  I made another card again using the Happy Easter Die and the bunny rabbits

which is bit more simple but I like how they both turned out.  These are going to two of my chemo buddies along with a little package of goodies for Easter.              Challenges:
     AMuse Studio - Easter
     Dragonfly Journey - use a bunny rabbit
     AAA Cards- Easter
     Dragonfly Dreams - use a die cut
