Three Clover Thursday & Digi Shack challenge Thursday

Happy Thursday!!!! Today i have two wonderful challenges for you. The first challenge is Kerry's over at Three Clover Designs. Her challenge was to make a card using flowers the flowers can be anywhere or anything. This is a really easy challenge for me, because I almost always have a flower somewhere on my card (hehehe).
Okay, while I was away on my stamping trip in Vermont, friends of mine (Mary/Peggy)were showing me some of there new stamps. They had just place a fairly good sized order with Sugar Nellie and they were playing with those. Well, I have seen sugar Nellie and liked them, but in person, I LOVED them. Oh boy, another thing I "MUST" have. My card today was made with one of there images. They tell me she is a pen pal girl, but I thought she looked more "rocker" girl to me, so I went with that. These are really fun images to color and to make "your own". These images can easily look so different depending on who is creating with them. I LOVE them! I don;t always like my cards, but I was pretty happy with this one. She kinda reminds me of my daughter.

Over that same weekend I had purchased some of the Bo Bunny flowers (I haven't seen these in my area), and put them on this card, Added some stickles and there ya have it.

Digi Shack Challenge

Today's Digi Shack challenge is a sketch challenge. Trying to figure out my cards layout out is the hardest part for me, so a sketch challenge makes the rest easy. Love sketch challenges!


For the sketch image, I used one of Digi Shack's new Lani images. These are so cute, you have got to check them out. I new how I wanted to color her, but I wasn;t sure of her purpose. Who would I give this card to? I took a closer look at her and decided she was kinda "sexy" (hehehe). Well, that then lead to blue eye shadow, blush and pink lipstick, and then finally my saying (computer generated). I still don;t know who I will give this to, but I think it's funny for a grown mans b-day. What do you think? Wanna play Shack and join in on the fun. When uploading your samples to your gallery please use keyword TDSC05. Also, Toni, the owner is very generous she is over FREE Digi Hawaiian sayings. Go ahead over and get them.

Last but not least, I am addicted to using my new cloud maker, and I have been using clouds in all my cards. You don't have to have a Cloud maker to make clouds. You can use a scalloped oval circle. I am going to do a Mini tutorial on my blog tomorrow, so check back if you like my clouds!

Supplies:
Image: Digi Shack
paper: Basic Grey
ink: copics, bashful blue (sky)
misc: stickles, nessties
Have a wonderful Thursday and I hope you can play along!

Hay There

Happy Tuesday all..... Did you have a wonderful Mother's Day? We went to see my Mother and Mother-in-law and then My husband and I went to the Red Sox game with my friend Pia and her hubby. Had a great day.

I made today's card when I was away in Vermont. I have a lot of High Hopes stamps that I have not even inked up yet, so I was on a mission to play with these super cute images. I used my cloud maker for the back ground. I colored the the hay, and the kids and cut them out and placed them, and then one of my friends had the "hay there" stamp. PERFECT! I don;t know who I will give this to, but I really enjoyed coloring this card.

QUESTION FOR YOU! Do you color with Copics? If no why (don't have any, intimidating, like my method better)? If no, what coloring medium do you use?

Supplies
Stamps: High Hopes
Ink: Copics, memento black, blue bashful blue su for the sky.
paper: paper Trey white, SU DP & Cardstock

SU INK Sneak Peek & Bloggers Challenge #98

HAPPY FRIDAY! I am so glad it's Friday aren't you? The sun is shining, the grass is green, the birds are chirping and the scent of lilacs is heavy in the air. Ahhhh....Life is good!

Today I have a SU INK & More sneak Peek and Bloggers challenge for you. I love the 2 in one challenges.

The bloggers's challenge was to make a Mom theme card, and the SU INK challenge was to make a card, gift item and a scrap page. I must admit, when I saw that I had to make a scrap book back, I cringed. It has been so long since I have scrap booked. That thought was scary. Sooooo....

I made a Mother's Day card and a matching gift card holder with the new paper products that SU INK will start carrying on 5/15. I also used the "you're Some bunny Special" and "thinking of Mom" stamp sets. I am a huge fan of Brown and pink, so that is why I went with that combo.


For the second half of the challenge: the Scrapbook page. In the first place, Ihave to tell you, I had a great time making this page, and it reminded me why I starting scrapping in the the first place, I love doing it. I also really like how my page came out. Not bad for not scrapping in over 2 years.


So, what do you think of the Page? Do you like the paper and embellishments? I do! Can't wait to see the whole that that Denise will be carrying. If you get a chance, hop on over and check out what the rest of the blogger's challenge ladies made, and take a peek on the SU INK blog to see MJ's samples. The rest of the DT will be peeking there projects over the weekend, so keep an eye out!


LAST BUT NOT LEAST!! MY BLOGOVERSARY IS APPROACHING , AND I HAVE SOME BIG PLANS THAT I WILL ANNOUNCE TOMORROW! STAY TUNED!!!!!!!

Three Clover Thursday: Happy Mother's Day

Happy Three Clovers Thursday. Today Kerry challenged us to make a mother's day card with ribbon or lace. Do you see the lace? me neither, when I read the challenge, I only saw Mother's day (ooppps). It was a rough week. Like I had said yesterday, I had 3 finals in three days, but you know what? I am FINISHED & FREE!!!!! Let the Mojo run free. I am so happy to be able to get back to "normal" life (laundry, making dinners, cleaning my house, and of course my creative hobby). Seriously, I can't wait to get my house cleaned and organized. I had put so many things off until the semester was over. It is time to do some catching up.

Ok, back to my card. This was one of the cards I had made over the weekend at our Vermont trip. My good friend KDC was kind enough to let me stamp one of her Tilda's, and I thought this Tilda would make a great Mother's day card (plus, she is holding Lilacs and I LOVE lilacs). As much as I as I don't love these little Tilda girls (because of the mouth), They are growing on me. I love to color them and set up a scene with them. I loved coloring the wall, the tree, and shading all her clothes. "I think I like Tilda"! Shhhh, don;t tell Kerry.


So, if you get a chance, head on over to Kerry's blog and see what the team cam e up with and then come join in on the fun and don;t forget to sign up with Mr. linky.

Supplies:
Stamps: Magnolia
PAPER: Basic Grey
INK: copics, and memento black

Whachadoin Wednesday Happy Mother's Day

WOW, it's Wednesday already. Seriously, this week has been flying for me. Do you know that yesterday my Mother asked me what I what I was going to do for Mother's Day, and I said "when is it". OMG it is this Sunday. Yes, I have been making cards for it, but didn't realize it was already here. School has me crazy. I have spent so much time studying that the days are just passing me by.

Today's card is made for SU INK & More whachadoin Wednesday challenge. The challenge (obviously) is Mother's day. I used one of my favorite SU INK sets "Sweet things". This was originally a Valentines themed set, but what I really liked it as a Mother's Day card. How perfect are the flowers for mom? I also used the new paper pack by Basic grey. The photograph did not pick up the colors well at all, but they are a plum and very pale green. I paper pieced the girls dress and shoes, and of course cut her out and pop dotted her. Everything should be pop dotted, don;t you think?


The SU INK DT always has FABULOUS samples, so head on over and check out what those very creative ladies did for today's challenge. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: SU INK & MORE
INK: copics and memento black
Paper: Basic Grey & Coredinations
Misc: white Pen, bling

It's Digi Shack New Release Day!

Happy Cinco De Mayo! Big things going on over at the Digi Shack this week. Today is the start of some newly released images, and a week long event of great prizes, contest and giveaways. If you head over to the Digi Shack today, you can vote for the new design team name and get entered into a drawing for 3 brand new Lani images. She is a coconut drinking, Hula dancing,Surfer chic! Way cute!!!!! Head on over and check her out, and while you're their vote for the new DT and get entered to win Lani!

The card I am sharing with you today is not a new image, but a super cute one. The fairy is completely reminding me of myself today. I was away for the weekend, and had a anatomy and physiology lab practical last night, a statistics final at 8am this morning, and I have a HUGE anatomy and physiology final tomorrow night. I am wishing there was a magic wand for me right now, but NOTHIN! So, there was no time for me to make a card with the new images, but I can't wait to play. One more day and I am FREE!!!!!


On my close up, I tried to capture a few of the elements I used on this card. First, I got this really cool new cloud maker template, so I had to try it out, and I LOVE IT! I also cut of the fairy to make her look like she was floating on the clouds (I love to cut), and last but not least, I added stickles to ger wings and eyelashes. It is hard to catch it in a photograph, so I hope you can see it. I also tinted the fairies hair blue (need I explain).

Well, I am off to study, drive my daughter to gymnastics and then to the library to study some more. I know if I stay home I will get nothing done. The only word anyone in my house knows is MOM! well, have a great day and I am hoping to post some new releases on Thursday after school is over!

My Mojo Is Back (I hope it stays)

This weekend 9 of my friends and I headed up to Vermont for a scrap booking/stamping weekend at a bed & Breakfast. What a fabulous time we had, There was lots of laughs, stories, singing, and a little bickering (hahaha). It was so nice to get to share ideas, and play with each others stamps. It was a fantastic time and I can't wait to go again.

Well, While I was there, I think my Mojo returned. It started of slow, but it came back to me. I hope it stays (hehehe). I truly believe the stress of school is what sent my mojo out. Well, 3 finals this week and I am FREE!!!!!

The card you see here is one I did this weekend. I borrowed this stamp from Mary and decided I love it. These Sugar Nellie's are so cute and great to work with.

This is 0ne of 6 cards I made while I was away. So stay tuned for more cards and some big news! Have a fabulous day and happy creating!
