Sometimes I Just Need to be Artsy...

Hi everyone!  If you have never checked out the Midnight Madness weekly sketches, 

you have no idea what you are missing!  Priscilla has a fantastic blog and weekly, 

she challenges her readers to stretch themselves with her sketches.  And guess what?!

I made this card for this week's sketch and I was in the mood to be a little artsy!  It also fits this week's Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge to make a card with sponging and distressing.

I have always loved this little girl image that I purchased at a stamp show this last February from the Stampland booth.  Tons and tons of sponging and, yep, Glimmer Mist!  LOL!  

Look Priscilla!  I used some of that gorgeous trim you sent to me!!!  Thanks again!!!!  

Anyway, I'll be back soon!  Thanks for stopping by!

Be Inspired Wednesday #85 and a Little Sneak Peek!

Hip Hip Hooray!  It's Wednesday!  And the Cuttlebug Challenge is today!  

The design team has been busy creating pennants to inspire you this week! 

I have two pennant projects to share with you today!

I made this first one using stiff felt that I cut to the shape of a pennant and 

measured it around the dowel so that I could staple it to fit.  

Then I covered the staples with pink felt that has a peel and stick backing.  

Using that same pink felt, I cut flowers with ProvoCraft's Cuttlebug 2x2 Flower #1die set #37-1206.  

Then I added buttons, string, ribbon, ric-rac, and flower rhinestones to finish this fun little project!   

Here is my second pennant project!

Again, I cut the shape of a pennant with K&Co designer paper and a larger one from SU! Soft Suede cardstock.  I also cut two Spellbinders ovals, one from Neenah Cream and one from the same designer paper and a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval from the Soft Suede paper.  With the same papers, I cut the butterfly with the ProvoCraft Cuttlebug Butterfly combo die #37-1651.  I embossed it with the ProvoCraft Cuttlebug Textile Texture embossing folder #37-1153.  I sponged everything with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and Antique Linen inks. I added the button and bows and ribbon to hang it with to complete this pennant.  

The scripture I stamped is a little sneak peek of a lovely scripture stamp set 

being released on the first of June from Our Daily Bread designs! 

Come join us at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog and create your pennant project!  

You could be the winner of five Cuttlebug Folders that will be given away to one winner of the challenge!!!

Before I go, I am so excited to tell you that I am a finalist to win the 

Midnight Madness 'Priscilla Award'!  Please go visit Priscilla's Blog 

to get all the details and I would be honored if you would vote for me!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  See you again soon!

Amazing Grace America

 

Hello again!  I wanted to get one done for The Shabby Tea Room and Stampin' Sisters in Christ and just barely have it done before the deadline!  The Tea Room challenge was to make a Stars and Stripes card for Memorial Day and the Stampin' Sisters challenge was to incorporate music on your card.  I used two Our Daily Bread designs stamp sets.  Amazing Grace Hymn and God Bless America.  Two fantastic sets that I just love!!!  The hymn is stamped on designer paper and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder.  The flag is also stamped on the same designer paper and colored with SU! chalks.  After putting the whole thing together I sprayed it with Pearl Glimmer Mist!  I know I say it all the time, but I seriously love Glimmer Mist!!!  Well, hope you have a great Sunday, and see you again soon!

Here are the supplies I used for this card:

ODBD God Bless America and Amazing Grace Hymn

In All Your Ways

Hi there!  Hope you are having a great weekend so far!  Here is another card I made with the new set from Our Daily Bread designs called For the Graduate.  I used this weeks sketch at SCS and the Free For All Challenge to use buttons and bows.  I wanted the image to be muted and so I just sponged it with Blush Blossom, Soft Sky, Mellow Moss, and Soft Suede inks.  Thanks for stopping by!

Midnight Madness #54

Hey y'all!  I had a chance to play with this week's Midnight Madness sketch!  That always makes for a good day!  And I just love what buttons and pearls can do for a card!  And look at this pretty vintage-y flower that Priscilla sent to me as part of my Midnight Madness Princess award goodies!  Thank you Priscilla!  This Corrie Ten Boom quote is so beautiful and is part of the new set from Our Daily Bread designs called As You Graduate.  I used Spellbinders dies to cut out the quote and the mat and then I used another Spellbinders die to emboss the designer paper underneath the ovals.  

Thanks for another great sketch Priscilla!  

Here are the supplies I used:

ODBD As You Graduate

Neenah Cream Cardstock

Be Inspired Wednesday #84

Good morning!  I hope you are all having a great day!  

Well, it's Wednesday, and time for another Be Inspired Challenge at the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog!  

The design team has been working with photos this week.  For my project today, I am using this adorable photo of my sweet grandson from a couple of years ago!  Isn't he just precious?  This particular photo gave me plenty of room to stamp a partial scripture from a new Our Daily Bread designs stamp set.  On the background layer, I ran a piece of designer paper through my Cuttlebug with the Moroccan Screen embossing folder from Provocraft.   I also used parts of the Provocraft Vintage Corner dies to 'frame' the photo.  I colored the pearls with a copic marker to match the designer paper!

  And that is it!  So fun to add photos to your cards! 

Here are the supplies I used today:

ODBD As You Graduate

Neenah Cream Cardstock

SU! Chocolate Chip Cardstock

DCWV Designer Paper (Linen Closet)

Provocraft Cuttlebug Moroccan Screen Embossing Folder #37-1909

Provocraft Cuttlebug Vintage Corner Die #37-1201

Pearls

Copic Marker #BG72
