Birthday Pirate Luka

Just a quick post to share this card I made for my boss's son, who turns the big 5 next week. 

I seem to run into a stumbling block when I make cards for guys, so I was excited when La-La Land Crafts came out with a new line of stamps.  One of them is Pirate Luka and he is so adorable!  Perfect for a birthday card for a boy or something fun for a boy. :) Owner Irina Blount and her partner-in-crime Eric did such an amazing job with this line of stamps that I want them all!

I used Bazzil cardstock and designer paper from Gartner to create the card.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.  The brads are from my stash.  I colored Pirate Luka with Copics E00, E02, R37, E35, E37, YG91, W1, and Y38.  I pop-dotted Luka to give some dimension.

Time for bed!  See you next time.  Thanks for stopping by!

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!  

Thanks for stopping by!

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,

Been awhile...

It has been awhile since I have been blogging and have missed sharing my creations.  With my daughter's activities in full swing and having some health issues, my paper crafting and jewelry making took a back seat while adjusting.  I am slowly getting better and getting back to my creations and grateful to them as good therapy for me.

 I have been following Chi Chi Memories for awhile and love the digi designs!  I entered the sketch challenge and it was a fun one!  Below is the sketch and the card I created using the sketch.

Supplies:

 Bazzil cardstock

Basic Grey Olivia designer paper

Hero Arts sentiment inked with Memento's Lady Bug ink

CCM's Give You All My Heart image colored with Copics E00, R37, R20, E33 and W3 and cut out with Nestabilities large circle and large circle scallop

Thanks to my followers for your support as always!  Will see you soon!

Bazzil cardstock

Best Creations Inc designer paper

Martha Stewart scallop punch

Dry embossing by Cuttlebug's Asian set

Pearls from my stash
