Today Belongs To You...

I thought of making a card for a friend of mine who is going through some tough times.  The images from Chi Chi Memories were perfect.  I am entering my card for Chi Chi Memories sketch challenge, which I really enjoyed creating.

Below is the sketch and my card for the challenge:

A Cheerful Card To Beat The Cold Blues...

My husband and I are home today with colds, while our daughter is out and about in daycare having a great time.  Ah why are kids so resilient to colds?

To beat the cold blues, I thought I would attempt to make a cheerful card.  With my stuffy head, it took awhile to come up with something, but I did and I love it!

The card I made is for the Chi Chi Memories sketch challenge.  The images are just too cute, who wouldn't have a smile on their face seeing them? :)

Below is the sketch and my card for the challenge:

Supplies:

Bazzil cardstock

DCWV designer paper (Nana's Kids)

Sentiment from DCWV

Queen and Company green border

The kids were cut with Nestabilities rectangle and rectangle scallop die-cuts and colored with the following Copics:

E00, E02, R20, E35, E37, YR02, B24, Y38, and W1

And now back to bed to beat the cold!

Sweet Dreams...

I am enjoying the nice long weekend, too bad the weekend will be ending soon.  I have had some time to doodle in projects here and there and with birthdays and anniversaries coming up, I definitely had my thinking cap on for some new cards and other projects.

I am participating in this week's Chi Chi Memories (CCM) sketch challenge.  Natalie (owner of CCM) always has great challenging sketches to play around with.  And her designs are just too cute!  And...there is a chance to win free images too!  How great is that??

Along with making a couple of birthday cards using her images, I created this sweet card using images from the CCM good night babies set.  The cute girl reminds me so much of my daughter Olivia. :)

Below is the sketch and my card for the challenge:

Supplies:

Making Memories designer paper

Prima flowers

pink stick on gems from my stash

CCM good night baby and sentiment colored with Copics RV32, E00, E33, W3 and the colorless blender

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hugs,

Birthday Boy!

Today, I participated in the Chi Chi Memories sketch challenge.  I really like the sketches, but I REALLY love the images. :)  I won the last sketch challenge and got to pick either the birthday boy or birthday girl set.  I don't have a lot of "boy" themed images, so I chose the birthday boy set.  I LOVE IT!  I used two of the images for the sketch challenge for this week.  I love this card so much that I am going to make two for my friend's twin sons, who will be celebrating their 1st birthday in September.  Never too early to think about occasion cards. :)

Below is the sketch and my card for the challenge:

Supplies:

Bazzil brown cardstock

Designer paper from my stash

May Arts woven blue ribbon

Martha Stewart scallop punch

"Birthday Boy" sentiment colored with At You Spica baby blue and chocolate pens

Birthday Boy colored with Copics E00, E33, E37, B12, and the colorless blender

Birthday Boy's background cut with Nestabilities small scallop circle

A Mother's/Daughter's Love

I had some time to participate in a couple of challenges.  One challenge that I did was for Chi Chi Memories.  I bought some images recently and they are so cute!  One of the images I got was called "Hug."  The image reminds me of the bond my daughter Olivia and I have.  For my first participation in Chi Chi Memories' sketch challenge, I was excited to create a card using the "Hug" image.

Below is the sketch to use and my card for the entry to the challenge:

Bazzil cardstock
