MFTWSC 317

Hello Hello -

Doing another quick post tonight - I have been on roll with sketch challenges today. (keep scrolling down if you want to see my first card.  :-) This one is for My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge #318. I pulled out one of my MFT Pure Innocence Girls (Camera PI) and also used the coordinating camera die-namics from MFT. The patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs.

MOJO 481

Hello Hello

Today I am sharing my card for MOJO Sketch #481. The snoopy image was RAK'd to me by my good friend Kathy down in Georgia. We've been friends for years as a result of SCS (Splitcoast Stampers). 

If you peek behind the card, there's a think stack of images that have been RAK'd to me over the years. My goal for 2017 is to use more of these for swaps. I also have an even thicker stash of 6x6 papers that are either RAKs, parts of card kits, or left over from my 12X12 sheets that I have trimmed down. I plan to try to use these too! :)  The paper I used is from that stash, and then the ribbon is from my brown ribbon bag (more RAKs and kit leftovers). 

Yay for using what I already have..... :) Hugs ! LJ

Congrats!

Hello Hello -

I joined a new monthly challenge group on SCS - created by Barbaralynn - and it's called Challenge Your Stash (CYS). The idea of this challenge is to use what you have in your stash with out buying new stuff to play with. Barb is this month's challenger, and the challenge is to use Black, White and Silver. I decided to create a wedding card, using the Amuse Bride and Groom stamp. It's embossed with silver EP from American Crafts.

Thanks for stopping by!

2017 Divas Vs Darlings!

Hello Hello

Today is the 15th and I am so excited to show you the first Duel Darling card of the year. The divas hostess this month is Tami (she can be found at : BlueInks Design). I love the adorable Balloon Riley and patterned papers from Imaginisce. Most of what you see on the card is from the kit. I thought that that Riley image would look really cute popped up on the white tag that was in the kit. The 'Love' banner was made from my own stash with the exception of the pink hearts which were punched from another larger heart in the kit.

A little background about our little challenge group:

The Dueling Darlings are a group of friends from SCS that swap cards and beyond and formed a new group called the Dueling Darlings! Divided into Group A and B, which wasn't a cool name so we are now the Divas and the Dazzlers, have a monthly rotating hostess kit that goes out to make cards! The Divas have one card kit to work with, while the Dazzlers have another! It's fun to see what we "duel" up in cardstock, papers and wonderful images!

Below are the rest of the ladies that are participating in the Duel. I can't wait to see what they created! :

Are You Cured Yet

Hello Hello -

Sharing a card I created for a Gina K Designs StampTv Challenge - "Third Time's the Charge" I used the cute set Sophie Pig for the images and sentiments. These cute sophie pigs cluttered the card a little bit, but I still like how it turned out :) I used patterned paper from Pink Paisley (Pen Pals 6X6 collection) and some Paper Studio heart bling on the banner panel.

MFTWSC314 - Happy Trails

Hello Hello

Today I am sharing my card for MFT Sketch Challenge 317. The sketch is pretty simple as far as the layout goes, so I kept my card simple as well. I used a retired MFT Set - Ride Em CowGirl. The patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket (Wanted 6X6 pad). Brads are from Paper Studio. I actually really like this sketch. Would be really easy to make up some Birthday or Thank you cards really quick is needed (and yet I go with Happy Trails - LOL!)

here is the sketch:

This was a loooonng time ago, but HERE is one of my favorite things I created with this set - a cute little tag. Also you can see the inside of the tag here: HERE . I still have it on display in my craft area :) I

Thanks for stopping by - Have a great day! Hugs ! LJ
