Jitterbuggin Sketch Challenge

This week on Jitterbuggin Challenge,  we had to follow a sketch, use a tree and the color yellow.  I immediately knew I wanted to use a  tree I saw in the Cindy Loo Cartridge.  I hand colored each of the leaves to give it a range of colors.  I love the trees in the fall.  I love all the different shades of yellow, orange, and reds.  Fall is not my favorite season, but I sure do love the leaves. 

Think Pink Card

I made this quick and simple pink card for the challenge #2 for the world card making day with Creations with Christina. It is an embossing folder I got recently called Sugar from Sizzix. I used of course my new irock on the empty spaces by the ribbon. I was going to use the stones on all the empty spaces, but then all I notice was the stones and not the pretty embossed pattern. I hope you enjoy.

Make a wish Mojo Monday card

This card I did for Mojo Monday  # 156. I thought this sketch would make birthday card.  Hope you enjoy.

For my Friend card

So for some reason this card looks much better in person than in the photo.  Anyway it was for a couple of challenges.  One for Sweet Sunday Sketch # 84 and the other is for the Cuttlebug's birthday challenge #100. 

Hedgehog hello card

I started this hedgehog for something else that just did not work out with her, but she was too cute to get rid of, so I saved her and then I saw the papecutz challenge # 57 and I knew it was time to finish up heggie. The challenge there was to use one ribbon, two buttons, and three colors. I chose the colors: brown, cream, and purple.

The cool frame is from an online photo editor called Picnik.  The free version has some good options. 

These are some of my favorite things

I love pink. I love brown. I love cards. I love flowers and ribbon. I love glitter and crafting. These are some of my favorite things.

I made this card for a challenge I just found this week at Jitterbuggin. They had a cute tutorial link on how to make this folding frame. This is a card that I would not mail. It would cost extra, since it is pretty thick. The flower in the center is 4 layers of foam tape. One between each layer and the base.

All the paper, but the pattern paper is from Papertrey Ink. The flower is cut from Sweet Treats. The center of the flower has glitter on the petals and the center I used the cuttlebug tiny bubbles.

I also thought I would submit this for the cuttlebug challenge, where the theme is pink for My Pink Stamper. She has some new great stamps out that I think I might have to invest in soon. Hope you enjoy.

CCMC114 - Sketch Challenge

I saw this sketch and knew immediately that I wanted to try it. I would like to try it again with smaller and solid ribbon for a different look. The flowers are glitter and cuttlebugged with a stone in the middle.  Flowers are cut from Create a critter.  I made this for a challenge at CCMC # 114.

A princess and a prince card (once upon a pricess)

I fell in love with the "Once upon a princess" cartridge, and had to get it, but since my girls are getting older I really haven't had the time to use it. So I was thrilled when Emma at My Creative Time issued a princess challenge for throw back Thursday. I don't own the Tinkerbell cartridge that she used for the challenge, but I was tickled to finally use this one.

It reminds me of a quote I heard from a youth leader of my a long time ago before.  "You will have to kiss a bunch of frogs, before you will find your prince."

Mojo Monday Just because card

I found another blog that has sketches for cards. I thought this one was cute so I gave it a try. Here is the Mojo Monday link if you would like to play along too.  I can't believe not one cricut  cut.

Whale Card

I remember one summer going to the San Juan Islands and being excited to sight an orca whale way off the coast with our binoculars. Just moments later our excitement changed as we drove down the road to find a spot that you could look down and see them right next to us. At first it was just one at a time then two or three at a time. We never would have thought that seeing eight at one time was even possible, but it was. This trip was a fond memory that few ever see. So I made my own whale watching card in memory of the event.

I did this for the following challenges:
Papercutz Challenge # 55 anything goes
FCCB #23  An outdoor activity
Card Positioning Systems # 181-  sketch design
