Dueling Darlings and Divas!

Hello Hello

Time for the months duel between the Darlings and Divas.....Kelly is our Diva hostess this month, and the theme is "Are You Game"! I totally love this theme, as I love to play both board and card games. My favorites are Euchre and Cribbage although I am a bit rusty at both of them these days. Growing up I loved to play Monopoly and Life. I suppose the games of Candyland and Connect Four will be played soon as my niece gets older! Can't wait!

Kelly sent us an image from Whipper Snapper, "Pair of Aces". I decided to use two DSPs, the red and white striped Chevron is from Glitz in Town (a new company for me), and the yellow dotted is from Bo Bunny - Vintage Buttercup. I colored the image with copics and cut it out. The image is layered on a Spellbinders Heart Circle die. I also used two ribbons, Kaisercraft Flourishes wooden die-cut (the diamond-shaped accent), Kaiser Bling, and a Basic Grey Button. On the Kaisercraft wooden diamond I added a cherry-cobbler punched heart.


Thanks for stopping by today! Please be sure to go check out the other Divas and Darlings and see what they have created, as I am sure they all WINNERS! :)

Hey Sassy Pants

Hello.

I'm still catching up on some of the sketch challenges I normally like to do, this was for MFTWSC83 a couple of weeks back. I'm going to work on MFTWSC84 sometime today :)

For my card I used the MFT Cute-A-Tude Pure Innocence set. The patterned paper is all from Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 6X6 pack. The button is from Basic Grey. Not sure where I got the Baker's Twine (from a LSS I think).  I also used some MFT Banner Die-namics.

Here's the sketch I started with:

I save all of my completed sketches (or ones that I like) into a folder on my computer. When I need sketch inspiration, I just flip through the images in the folder. It usually gets me started :)

Mystery Image Swap

Hello Hello

It's been awhile since I have posted :( I have been doing some crafting, just not getting the time to share lately. I'm going to try to change that :)

Today's card is for on-going swap I am in in SCS which is a Mystery Image swap, every other month we have a mystery images (all the same) sent to us.  We then make four similar cards with that image & mail them to the hostess. She gets to keep one, and we get 3 back in return that are created by other swappers in the group. When we get our returns, there's more images, from a new hostess :) I'm not hostessing for awhile :)

So JanetJ is our hostess this time around, and she sent us some cute House Mouse images to play with. I went with a pastel color theme and used some retired DP from Stampin' Up. The ribbon is from Offray, and the glitter flower is from K&CO. I also used MFT Die-Namics on my card.

Thanks for stopping by today!
