Inky Antics

Hello and Happy Memorial Day.  I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday. 

I have a real quick one for you.  I just love the rocker cards.  They are just so cute.  I thought the turtle on his back was just the right size for a rocker card.  I cut a small postage square and embossed it to follow the color scheme.




I am using it in the following challenges:
   Die Cuttin Divas - Turtles
   Simon Says Wednesday - Use More Than One Stamp
   Your Scrapbook Place - Anything Goes
   CAS on Sunday - Birthday Card

Off to clean my table and see what else I can find to work.  Chat with you later.  Have a good one.

Lighthouse

Hello again.  I am home from the Open House.  Dinner is over and all I need to do is clean up the kitchen.  Plus I want to go plant some tomatoes.

But before that, I wanted to make a card.  Usually, I make the card and then see which challenges it will fit under.  But I haven't done a sketch in a while and I do love them, so I decided to start with the sketch and see what stamp I have on my to play with stack would work with it.

The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  A perfect sketch for a big stamp.  I decided to use this lighthouse from C.C. Designs.  It has been sitting on my table for some time.  After picking out the stamp, I knew it would work for the challenge over at Dies R Us, but I needed to use a die.  What to do?????  It finally came to me.  I would flip the banner to the top right side instead of the bottom left and use my cloud thin cut.

You can't tell by the picture, but I cut the bird out and popped him with some foam tape. And added some Winks of Stella on the belly of the bird to give it a shimmer.

I just adore this card.  I am going to make a power kit out of it and take it to next week's crop.  I have got to make up some kits or I am not going to have any thing to do for the 10 hours.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch #454
   Dies R Us - Birds 
   Your Scrapbook Place - Anything Goes
   Cute Card Thursday - Little Boy Blue (Lots of Blue)
  
Off to plant some tomatoes.  Chat with you a little later hopefully.  Have a great evening.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Hello and Happy Memorial Day Weekend to all of you in the USA.  To all of you who have lost loved ones defending this country.  Thank you.  I am extremely proud to be an American and proud of our military.

I  have a graduation open house to go to this afternoon, but I want to play around in my craft room for a little while before I go.

Last weekend, I went to a SU stamp class.  I have been going monthly and it has been lots of fun.  I didn't make as many cards last week but I did like the ones I made.

This is the first one.  I love all cards construction related.   My husband is an electrician so I am always looking for cards for him.  This will be one of his father's day cards.  He always gets more than one.

I don't have this set from SU so when I came home I used some of my dies and made my own version of it.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Papercraft Challenge - Anything Goes
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
   Brown Sugar Challenges - Father's Day

Off to see what else I can get into.  Chat with you soon.  Have a great day.

Father's Day

Hello again.  One more quick one and I think I am going to head to bed.  Hopefully, I will fall asleep this time.

I have been working on Father's Day cards.  I have a couple more to do, but I thought my father-in-law would love this one.  His favorite thing to do during the summer is grilling.  So I just had to cut out this cute little grill.





I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
   A Gem of a Challenge - It's a Man's World
   Cute Card Thursday - The Great Outdoors
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes

Chat with you later today.  Have a good one.

SU Lots of Lavendar

Hello.  How is everyone?  What a busy month it has been.  I couldn't sleep so I thought I would clean off my craft table.

This is another card using the SU Lots of Lavendar set.  So many possibilities and just so easy to use.  I just love it.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Tuesday Throwdown - Crop the Image
   Crafty Gals - Add a Flower
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
   MFT Challenges - Colors

Have a good night.

SU A Wild Thing

Hello.  How is everyone?  I can't believe it is the 15th of May and I haven't posted anything all month.  I do have several cards to post so I will try to get them up over the next few days.

I have one more card using the A Wild Thing set by Stampin Up.  This will be the last one for a few weeks.  I still want to play with it some more, but I am moving on.

I made this one a front and back Lion.  So when you open the card, you will see the back side of the lion.  I added a small circle on the inside of the card for the sentiment.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   CAS on Sunday - Cute
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
   Craft Challenge - Anything Goes
   Aud Sentiments - Cute + Sentiment

That is it for now.  Chat with you later.  Have a great evening.
