Witchy Girl

Hello Hello ~

I was too tired to post this last night when I finished it, but I knew I had to post this one tonight because this Little Witch PI image from MFT is so stinkin' cute! 

I created this card for MFTWSC90 (sketch) and this week's Twisted Tuesday Challenge, which was to include something on your card that can fly. I have no idea if this little girl can fly, but she does have a broom to try to fly.....Maybe you will see her flying around her neighborhood late next month. :)

Here is the inside of my card. I used patterned paper from Basic Grey (Eerie 6X6 pad) on both the outside and inside of my card. 

Here's the sketch for the challenge:

School Girl

I have another card to share tonight. I created this for a MFT Sketch Challenge a few weeks ago and never got around to posting it in time, so here she is now. The color combo is out of my comfort zone I think, but she still looks pretty darn cute in pink :)

I normally do not use flowers like these on my cards, but I saw them at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% Off (Spare Parts) and decided to try them.

Here is the sketch I used. I left of the sentiment tab as I thought it might get too "busy"

Thanks so much for stopping by!

PTI Swap

Hello Hello ~

Hope your Monday has gone well :) Today I am sharing 2 of the 3 swap cards I created recently for a Paper Trey Ink (PTI) Swap on SCS and I'm really excited because I am hostessing the next round! It's been about a year since I hostessed a SCS swap, so I'm really looking forward to it! 

The first card is my square card. I used a sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies. the size of the card is 4.25" X 4.25" square. 

My second card was for the pocket card category.....I used Simple Sunflower. This might be my favorite of the two, because of the fall colors!

I have to check my other camera chip to see if I have a photo of the third card. If I don't have it I will just make another one to show you later :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Mish Mash

Hello-Hello

It's "mish-mash" month for the darlings and divas........where we have saved up all of our leftovers to use on our card this month.  I have to admit, I did not use many goodies on my card......as it just did not lend itself to doing so :( But I did use a lot of patterned paper and just got carried away with that part....LOL!

The image is from Whipper Snapper. I love this BBQ guy, he's one of my favorites! For this month's card I did some sort of a pop-up card......my brain is so mish-mash (ha ha) as I am writing this late at night.......(you would think since we have had all these goodies for months I could get the card together sooner than the night before wouldn't you???? nah......)

So here is the card open, with my favorite part, I love the twine and button on the craft cardstock....

Thanks for stopping by today! Please be sure to go check out the other Divas and Darlings and see what they have created...

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!
