Whachadoin Wednesday Challenge:Inspiration

Happy Wednesday!!! Wow, it's already the middle of the week. For all of you that celebrate Labor day, did you have a great weekend? I worked both Sat, Sunday, but Monday we took the kids to a local fair. It was a sure sign that fall is approaching. We had a nice time. There was lots of animals, some horse shows, and the kids had a great time playing on the tractors, and the weather was fabulous. What did you do.

Today's card is made for SU INK & MORE's Whachadoin Wednesday Challenge. Today's challenge is a inspiration challenge (when I am able to get the photo I will post here). My thought on the photo was to go toward the color scheme. I decided to use SU INK's You're a Hoot stamps set. I have a thing going on with the owls lately. They are just so darn cute. I used This weeks Mojo Monday sketch, and I have to admit, I love the sketch. it could be easily used so many times.
So, wanna come play with us? We love new players. Head on over to the blog to get the inspiration photo, and then create away. I look forward to seeing your project. Have a wonderful day and thanks for stoping by today. Happy Creating!!!

Whachadoin Wednesday with SU INK & More

Good Morning. Happy Wednesday. We are half way through the week. It is he kids 2nd day of school and My 1st day back to school for the semester. I am hoping that my classes will be enriching and interesting.

Today's challenge over at SU INK is "Fall" theme. I live in New England where Fall is gorgeous. This morning it is 50 degrees and will warm up as the week goes. This is a sure sign that Fall is on it's way (my favorite season).

For my card today, I used One of the trees from the Friendly Forest collection from SU INK'S New INKIES stamps. I used some Basic Grey paper and some buttons, and this is what I ended up with. Do you feel the fall crisp air? (hehehehe).

So, do you like to make Fall themed cards? Did I inspire you (I hope)? Well, what are you waiting for? Head on over to your craft spot make a Fall Themed card and link it up over at SU INK & MORE to play with us this week. I bet you could combine 2 challenges in one card.

So, today has to be short but sweet. I have a class at 10:00am and then I am hoping to do some laundry and make some cards. So, Have a GREAT day and Happy Creating!

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: Su Ink & More (Tree), CTMH (sentiment)

The challenge this week is a inspiraion challenge Well, if you read my blog regularly, you know that this set "ocean Commotion " is one of my favorite from SU INK. So, when I saw the inspiration picture, I knew exactly what set I wanted to use. I was also able to play in MJ's Monday Lunchtime sketch challenge this week and used her sketch for my card.

Whachadoin Wednesday: it's a ocean around here.

GOOD MORNING! It's Wednesday and Wednesday's mean WHachadoin Wednesday challenge over at SU INK & MORE. The challenge today is summer theme. Well, I have the most adorable set from SU INK, and I couldn't wait to use it. The name of this set is "Ocean Commotion", and it is soooo cute. As you can see, I used a bunch of the stamps from the set and wanted to use more of the fish and things, but it was starting to get really crowded. I just love the set.

My card was inspired by a card done by Nikki Estes. I am pretty happy with the way my card came out. Honestly, it too me 2 hours to make this card, and I spent probably 1 1/2 hours just coloring it, but it was so fun. I am not typically a scene kind of card maker, but I like the way this turned out. What do you think?

I also wanted to try to capture the sparkle I put on the fish. I think that was successful.
Well, that is all for me today. I have Beachitis (exhausted from to much vacation, and I am hoping to get a nap in today. Would love for you to play with us today. DO you have a beach card you need/want to make? Come play with us!

Have a great day and happy Creating!

Back to School Tuesday

Hello All. I am back from the cape and trying to get back into the groove of things. You know when you get back from a vacation (no matter how long it is) you have to come home and do laundry and try to get stuff back on track. I have to catch up on Big brother (thank God I have DVR). So, the plan is to get things done, get the kids fed and taken care of and then I will be heading down stairs to my Craft world and try to make a couple of cards. I will try to share some Cape Cod pics tomorrow when things settle down.

Today I have another back to school card for you. I know that day is approaching for some of you. I used SU INK & MORE's "vote for me & A Touch of Class" stamp sets.. I was shooting for the teacher/principle affect. What do you think? Did you all have a chance to play in SU Ink's blog hop? I see Terri won....GO TERRI!!!!!!!
Well, that is all for me today. I am off to clean up and settle in for the night. I hope you all are having a WONDERFUL day, and happy creating.

Back To School

Happy Tuesday!!!! Phew, it has been a rough 5 days I tell you. I work at Gymboree (kids clothes store), and they run this sale called Gymbucks. Well, the last week has been Gymbucks redemption, and let me tell you what Gymbucks redemption is like: PURE CRAZINESS!!!!!!With back to school approaching, my store was a mess, and there were people everywhere. I worked 5 days straight (not my usual), and now I am exhausted. So, with the whole school shopping thing approaching,I thought I would make a card for the occasion.


I used SU INK'S "A Touch of Class" stamp set, which comes with a bunch of great stamps for a school occasion. I used the At in the corner and attached the back pack, and off to school she goes. I also used MJ's Monday Lunchtime sketch. I know some of your kids go back to school soon, but we don't go back until after Sept 1st. Still some summer time left!

Well, that is all for today.. I am off to the beach for the day, and looking forward to a week of no work and lots of playing. The weather here is Hot and Humid, and it is giving me every reason to head to the beach. Beach today, Maine tomorrow, and Cape Cod on Thurs and Friday. Arrr.....I feel relaxed already thinking about it. Well, I am off to soak up some rays. Have a great day! Happy Creating!

Whachadoin Wednesday Challenge with SU Ink & More

GOOD MORNING!!!! Happy Wednesday All!!!! We are 1/2 way through the week, and one step closer to the weekend. The sun is shining and the weather here has been FABULOUS for the last couple of days. There is something to say about good weather bringing a smile to your face!

You know what Wednesday's bring: Whachadoin Wednesday over at SU Ink & More. This weeks challenge is a inspiration challenge. The inspiration challenge was taken from this picture below.


I decided to take the animal theme from the photo and use SU INK & More's Welcome to the Zoo stamp set. Like I have said in my previous post, I am on a non traditional color kick. Instead of going with "realistic" animal colors, I used the colors from this fun Pattern paper.

When I was uploading my card this morning, I was trying to decide what I would "actually" use this card for, and who would I send it to. Well, I decided this card would make a great kids B-day card or Birthday invitation. It would also make a great baby card for someone who has multiple children. What do you think?

Well, that is all today. My family and I are heading to the beach on this wonderful day. I hope you all get a chance to play along with us on this challenge. What inspiration would you draw from this photo. Come play with us!

It's a Robot Kind of Monday & Blog Candy!

Good Morning, and Happy Monday! We had a FAULOUS weekend and the weather was wonderful (finally). We celebrated Ryan's b-day with the family, and I made some cards with some friends on Friday night. Well, I chatted and bought stuff, and really didn't get to creative, but I really enjoyed the time with my friends.

Last night I was playing around with the robot Inkies stamp form SU INK & More, and I am really pleased with how my card turned out. I think th epaper was perfect for this card. I paper pieced half of the robot, and colored the rest. I am having a great time with these new inkies.





BLOG CANDY anyone????? Denise (the owner of SU INK & MORE) has been kind enough to give me these 2 new INKIES stamps to offer up for blog candy.So, here is what you have to do: Leave me a comment, and spread the word on your blog (if you wish). I will draw the winner on Sunday.
Well, that is all for me today. I am off to take the kids to swim lessons. Have a FABULOUS monday. Happy creating!

Whachadoin Wednesday with SU InK & More

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!!!! You know what Wednesdays mean: WHACHADOIN WEDNESADAY with SU INK & MORE! This weeks challenge was to make a card that had stripes. Well, you see, no hard for me seeing I have a TON of striped paper. For some reason, stripes and polka dots is what I tend to go for. So, digging through my stash I found this amazing paper I had purchased almost a year ago. Pulled it out and put it to use.

I used SU INKS new Friendly Forest INKIES, which I am having a great time using. These stamps are making for some super cute cards.

I really have been going for some bright colors lately. I'm not sure if I am longing for Summer (seeing it has been rainy and cold here for over a month), or what, but my color choices have been brighter than my norm. I guess I could have chose more subtle colors for the tree, but I wanted to match this paper and I am kinda happy with the outcome. I love when I am pleased with a card. We can be our own worst critic.

Well, that is all for me today, but you can check out more cards from SU inks very talented team here. Have a great Wednesday and Happy creating!

MATERIALS
STAMPS: Su Ink & More (Friendly Forest), Sentiment from Hero Arts
Paper: Daisy Bucket DP, Coredinations CS

My second project is a Paper Mache box that I altered, and used the new tree stamp form the new Inkies collection "friendly Tree". This stamp would make a fabulous card for any occasion. They would also make great small note cards.
