Joan's Garden Challenge #24

Happy Tuesday !!!!!

Today I want to share with you my card that I

am entering in Joans Garden's Challenge # 24

I had lots of trouble photographing it, for some reason

the colors would not come out right. Hum guess I need to

take some photography classes LOL.

Well here goes, it truly does look so different

 in real life, isn't that what we all say LOL!!

The challenge was to "Create a Thanksgiving card,

 Use something Fallish such as Leaves, Pumpkins or Indian

Corn (if you don't have a stamp use a leaf from

 your tree), use The color green and Some

kind of swirl or vine.

 The image I used is from Vintage Holiday Crafts. the CS

is from Su as well as one stamp. The other

stamp is from "My sentiments Exactly". I used SU markers,

Tim Holtz Distress inks and lots of dimensionals.

The ribbon is unknown from a friend. The paper is

 from Mirabelle, oh do I love their paper!!!

I also used a Provo Craft vine die. I cut and layered
several areas of the image to make it 3-D, not sure
if you can tell.I wish the photo was better but that's
how it goes I guess. Hopefully you

 will play along with Joan's Challenge too!

So until the next time hugs to you all!

Quick Thanksgiving Card

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Today I have a quick Thanksgiving Card I did

for some friends of mine. I used an image from

 an online site,Vintage Holiday Crafts.

I loved this vintage image and thought it would make

a quick and easy card. Well famous last words, it seemed like it

 took me forever for some reason, have you ever had one

of  THOSE days  LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used a MS punch, SU cardstock, Ribbon from

Michaels, Designer paper from Mirabelle and a button
 from my stash. NOW it sounds easy, but duh ,it just
came together hard for some reason LOL. Oh well
 hope they like it. IF they only knew how long some of these
 cards took to make  LOL !

 Well hope your having sunshine where ever you are,

 its cool but sunny here in NE Ohio.

Blessings to all !!!!!!

Hugs

50th Anniversary Card

Happy Wednesday to all !!!

Hope your all enjoying this wonderful day.

Well today I have a very special card I want to share.

It's a card I made for some very dear friends who are

celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary soon.

As usual it's hard to see how fancy this looks

but in real life its very elegant & rich looking.

Not sure if you can tell or not but this was made

 using SU metallic gold CS. Plus I edged all of it with my gold

pilot marker, which I love doing, it adds such an elegant

touch to a project. The stamps used on this were from

 Rubber Stampede,Close to my heart, Sweet Stamps, & SU.

Nesties were used, including the brand new grands.

 I love them and a side note, several in the packs will actually

 work in my big shot machine,several are too large,

but do work great in the Grand Calibur

 machine ( My birthday present tee hee ). Back to

 the info LOL. Pearls are from Michaels. The flowers are Prima's

and the leaves are from Pat Catans, minus the wire LOL.

Versamark and gold embossing powder were used.

Lots of dimensionals were used to make it 3D layered. So

there you have it, my special card for a very special couple.

 I will be adding a personal  letter with their gift and

shipping it out to them very soon.

Would love to know what you think of it.

Until next time, blessings to you all!

Joan's Garden Challenge #22

Hello my blogger friends!

Tonight I have a cute little Magnolia card to

 share that I made and taught at my last class.

Hopefully she fills all the requirements

 for Joan's Challenge #22. I think she is just

cute as can be, and she is 3-D which I love.

                                                                                  
                                                    It's hard to see how dimensional she is

and how much sparkle there is from all the

stickles. Sorry I am not very good at taking photo's.

So you will have just have to trust me LOL.

I borrowed this cute Magnolia stamp from my friend,

Kim,sorry but I do not know her name. But she is

 so much fun to work with.

 Here are all the dets:

 Nestabilities were used, as were SU & MS punches.

 I also used my swiss dot embossing folder.

The coloring was done using Prisma pencils

 and SU markers. The other stamps used were

SU as was the CS. The gold brads were in my

 stash. I put small dots all over the background

 inside the circle using my gold pen. Lots

of dimensionals were used in this card.

I hope you like my little cutie.

So now you have to go check out Joan's Garden if

 you haven't already! She has lots of great stuff for sale 

and a wonderful blog full of inspiration!!!!

Doilie Christmas Card

Good Evening Friends!

 Hope your staying dry tonight!

 It's been showers off and on all day today not bad, just

 enough to be cold and yucky! LOL

Tonights card I am sharing is one that is a

little bit time consuming but in my opinion worth it.

Let me know what you think.

The cardstock I used for this is navy with white speckles on it

 that I bought at Hollo's in Brunswick Ohio. The

silver doilie is from Michaels I think, but it's been a

 while since I bought it LOL. Usually they are easy to find

especially if the store has a cake decorating section.

I used silver EP and black ink. I colored the wonderful

 image in with SU Markers. The stamp is from, All night Media.

 I used red stickles but it doesn't show up in the picture.

I also used the silver Gelly Roll pen for more added

 sparkle on it.The ornament is popped up with dimensional tape.

I did this card in one of my classes and the ladies seemed

 to like it real well.

That is it for tonight, hope you stay warm and dry.

No Time To Stamp Challenge #158

Happy Wednesday !!!

Today my project is again another challenge, this one is

 for Sharon Johnson's, No Time To Stamp Challenge#158

Isn't this lady in her fabulous Sari just beautiful!

The colors are so stunning together. I used SU CS,Copper

 and choc. chip then distress it with TH distress inks.

I embossed the copper with a embossing folder.

 The word stamp is from Art Impressions and I used copper EP.

 I thought this would be a fun one for a friend of mines

 birthday that is coming up. The buttons were in my stash.

 I did add the small metal dots to two of the buttons,

they matched my other button perfectly. This was such a fun

challenge. If you have not done any of the Challenges you really

 should try it, it sure does take you out of your comfort zone.

Well that is it for today.
