Happy Saturday!

Isn't this long-necked fellow a cutie? He's in the "Its A Jungle Out There" set by MFT (My Favorite things). I made this card last week for a MFT swap I am in. I've had this DP forever it seems. I got it a long time ago from a CM party but it's perfect for this card. I also used my new long rectangle nestabilities, and my SU oval punches. 

I've got a list of challenges to work on this weekend so stay tuned! :)

Monday's Try a New Technique challenge on SCS was this cute little easter basket. It was really easy to put together! The lily image is from Easter Blessings (Gina K Designs). I colored it in using Koh-I-Noor Pencils and Gina K OMS. 

Have a great night!

CC211 Mojo79 ~ For Mom

Good Evening! 

I put this card together tonight for two challenges, Color Combo 211 (Pretty in Pink, Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss) and this week's Mojo Sketch Challenge. 

I love these colors together - it's pouring rain here, so I so needed to work with some springy colors tonight! 

I used two Gina K Designs Stamp Sets, the floral image is from Comfort & Peace, and the Sentiment is from Spring Blooms. The floral image was inked with SU Markers (pretty in pink, old olive and rose red) 

Have a great night!

Easter Anya Notebook

Hello! Sorry I have not posted much the last few days, I've had company all weekend! Joy (aka daiseyfreak on SCS) has been staying with me this weekend since a business trip brought her here for a few days! I've had so much fun with her here, going shopping for stamps and paper and hanging out! We are both so tired right now but it's been such a fun weekend! 

Here is one of the swaps I have been working on this weekend, it's an Easter ABAC swap on SCS. Joy introduced me to the digi images over at The Greeting Farm and I just love Easter Anya! We found these Journal Albums at the $1 spot in Michael's. The pattern paper is from DCWV Nana Kids!

Words of Emerson

Good evening! 

Have to admit, I'm usually not much into the SU Level 1 Hostess Sets, they never really inspire me much. I was thrilled when they started having Prints Packs and Simply Scrappin Kits as an option. This one is an exception though, called God's Beauty. I just love the butterfly image in this set.

This is the 2nd card I made for HippieAud's SAB/Hostess Swap on SCS. I used Rose Red and Certainly Celery together for the color combo.

MOJO Monday Sketch #78

Happy Monday again! 

I'm actually posting my card for Mojo Monday's Sketch Challenge on a Monday. I got a little Sellabration going on too....This card uses the set Polka Dot Punches, Delicate Dots DSP, and Saffron Ribbon all from the 2009 SAB Collection. The sentiment is from Fundamental Phrases and I anchored the sentiment with a yellow Basic Grey brad.

I'm making this card for SAB/Hostess Set swap on SCS. This sketch was the perfect fit for this card.

Have a great night!

Crabby Notebook

I made some of these notebooks for a beach-themed swap I am in. This is one of my favorite Gina K Sets, Just Be Claws. I think it is one of her first sets that came out. (it was the first Gina K set I bought actually). I just love this image. I binded the notebook together with my CarlaCraft Binding System, which I got at a scrapbook/stamping expo in November, it's the first time I've used it & I really love the how easy it is to use. I need to get some more of this Basic Grey Cupcake paper too! It's so bright and fresh for summer projects! 

Have a great Monday!
