No Coloring type of post

Hi everyone I got a chance to do a few cards this weekend, where I decided I did not want to use my coloring pencils... Wow yeah I know I can't believe it my self.. Before I got my pencils I was just learning the "basic technique" of card making and I just loved stamping with my colored ink, embossing with my Versamark ink and  being more creative.

So I was browsing "you tube" and got some really great inspiration from "Kristina Werner". She as the most amazing channel with some great card making tech and tutorial.

This stamp set is "Dance" from There She Goes Clear Stamp set  I stamped the images on DP with Versamark ink and embossed with "White embossing" and set with my "heating tool" and added some buttons.

I used the Sketch Saturday Sketch

DP is from JellyBean Soup.. I love it soo.. Card stock PTI and Bazzill, Punch EKSuccess, Nesti Circle. Sentiment is mine written with White Gell pen. and pop dots. to finish it off

Challenges:

The Corrosive Challenges- Punches

Dream Valley Challenges-Buttons

All Sorts Challenge- Clean and Simple

Birthdya Ahoy

Hello Everyone I hope that your day was a good one.. I had a "good " time with my "meet and greet" and my DD school. I got to fill out a "volunteer application and turn in; because I had already had a New TB test clearance.

Say Hello to Ahoy Oliver from TGF.. I just love him in his "sailor suite".. I made this card for someone at my Job, and was able to give it to him "today... I  know her was "very surprise and happy to receive it..

Something for Teacher

 Happy Sunday everyone.. Wow just a few more hours and where off and running again with our week... I am still finding my way back to the normal routine of getting the kids off to school and then having a few hours to my self before I too head off to "work".. So I know that everyone might be done with all their "back to school" cards for teachers and their students.. But I am still playing catch up.. I usually will have a card for  the teachers on the "first" day of school. especially for my youngest one. She still enjoys being able to give her teacher a gift.. But this year was a little hectic because we where settling into a new address and new school.
But This Wednesday they are having a "meet and greet" breakfast for the parents.

So this is why I am showcasing Ms Lucy from the "Puddle Jumper" image from By Lori Boyd designs.. I sure enjoyed being a part of Lori's DT a few months back and still LOVE all her images... Lucy was just perfect for the card for Lynette's teacher with her little school bag ,books and of course an "apple" for the teacher.

I used this week's Deconstructed #19 sketch by Jen Shutlz

I colored Lucy with my Prisma and OMS. can't really see but she has glitter with stickles on her bag, hair ribbon and even some on the top of her "socks"... My DP is from Basic Gray "Hopscotch".. I had only purchased a 6x6 sample pack from Claudia and Co.. But I think I might have to get the Whole pack because it is just SOO gorgeous and I do love it soo.. Sentiment is from Paulette over at Create with TLC.. Card stock is from PTI, white gell pen and pop dots to finish it off.

School Time with Ruby

Hi there and Happy Monday.. I hope that you all had an awesome weekend.. I cleaned house all day Saturday and Sunday was just all about "Me".. I did not lift a finger to do anything but my coffee, doing my hair and making a card. ( I just started work so after being home for 2 yrs it's a bit over whelmed trying to get back into the "swing" of things.) But I am not complaining as I am just "blessed" to be able to say that " I am working".. 

Now on to my card..I don't have to tell you what everyone  already know and that is... being able to "showcase " my favorite stamping Co.. Now as if I have not said this before.. This image of Wild Sprout Ruby has to be my ALL TIME favorite in the Wild Sprout line...I have been wanting her for ever soo long..But she was out of stock for some time over at  TGF..So the moment that I saw her back in stock I knew that I had to have her.. I mean just look at her gorgeous face and her 'hair" is just simply GORGEOUS!!!!

This card was used for a few challenges including this past WOW challenge over at FFC where the "theme" is  Metal ( I used two brads..so I hope that it counts as "metal".

I also used this week's sketch by Carly

Images colored with Prisma and OMS. Card stock is Kraft and Black by PTI, DP is Basic Gray "Hopscotch   EK Success Punch, Ribbon from Michael and liquid Pearls.

Paper Piecing and a Sketch

Hello everyone; hope you are all having a "blessed" and wonderful Sunday..I am enjoying my time doing some crafting and getting ready for the week, as ALL of my kids will officially be back in school. I think they are even more excited than I am. 

I Love paper piecing, it really puts me back in the time of playing with my "paper dolls" and coloring and making all kind of cute clothes for them. So I was really excited to play along with the challenge going on over at "The Pink Elephant".  What was even better was that this week's challenge if being sponsored by my ALL time favorite stamping co. TGF for my card I used Wild Sprout Megan. I have had her for ever But never got a chance to ink her up and create a project with her, so I know that she was happy to finally come out and play. 

I used this WOW sketch #10

For her short set and DP I used Echo Park " Little Girl". Card stock  and sentiment are from PTI. Prima flowers and some pop dots.

I can tell you after being away for soo long it's kind of strange even posting a card :0)... But I know that I will get my full swing back in no time.. 

Challenges

Raise the Bar- Paper Piecing

Ellephantastic Challenges- Here comes the Girls

I'mmm Back!!!!

Hi everyone.. Wow I can't believe it's been a WHOLE MONTH since my last post..I had to take a "much need break to get some of my priority in order. ( I know that ALL of you can understand that.:0)... over the last 6 weeks we had some unexpected challenges come up with in my immediate family.. Let me first say that we are ALL HEALTHY AND WELL..and I do thank God for the blessings that he has graced us with. So just wanted to make that clear. 

I also want to thank those of you who have taken the time to send  an email or a message asking about me and making sure that everything was ok with my self and my family..I can't say just how much that filled my heart.. ( Thank you for saying that you missed seeing my work... it lets me know that someone is paying attention.. hehehe Again I say thank you

Never the less we are going thru some adjustment right now, but I know that I will look at those changes and challenges as Opportunities for something New and wonderful. They say if One door closes just open another and if that one is still close; then BREAK a window, find a crack, or a whole and just bulldoze your way thru.  That's where my Art Journal page comes in.. soo as much as I have not done any card making or other projects.. I have kept up with the progressive weekly challenges over at "The Greeting Farm" with their "HE-ART Journaling. and this week's theme is "Text". 

Well it's very late and I have an early and long day ahead of me tomorrow.. But I have created several cards and I will be posting them tomorrow..

Hugs and Blessings to all my Crafty Friends and Family
