Sketch Saturday

Hello.  I was checking out the new sketch over at Sketch Saturday and I won the sketch challenge this week.  I was just shocked. 

The upcoming sketch looks like a fun one.  I can't wait to play with it.

Have a good one...

Whimsie Doodles

Hello.  I hope everyone is having a great evening.

The challenge over at Whimsie Doodles this month was animals.  I knew when I saw it that I was going to use these fish.

The card is a slider card from SVG Cutting Files.  I cut a few extras so I could make one with the fish from SVG Cutting Files.  Hopefully I will post it tomorrow.

Have a great evening.

Cut It Up Challenges

Hello.  Happy Friday.  

It is time for another Cut It Up Challenge.  The theme, this week, is Weddings.  Must use bells.

I don't normal make wedding/anniverary cards.  I don't know why, I just don't.  So when I saw this challenge, I knew it would be a hard one for me.  But I had a couple of sets from Silhouette Online that had the wedding theme, so I made a simple card but it came out elegant, I think.

 We have some great sponsors.

I hope everyone joins us at Cut It Up for this challenge.  Have a great weekend.

 

Father's Day again

Hello.  Today was the last day of school.  I am so looking forward to a few days of quiet crafting time next week.  But first I need to do a little cleaning around the house. 

In the meantime, I am still making Father's Day cards.  I have already mailed my Dad's and FIL's cards, but my husband will probably get a couple of cards.

My husband is an electrician and the Little Beaver from Meljen's is the perfect image.  He does the estimates so he always has blueprints and most jobs require hard hats.  I wasn't sure what color to use.  I thought I had a blue pattern paper with Dad all over it, but I couldn't find it, so I decided to go with the dark dark red. I made the Dad in yellow to add some more color to it. 

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Sketch Saturday - Sketch 313
   Glitter N Sparkle - Use a Digi
   Meljen's Design - Dad
   CMC Copic Challenges - Anything Goes
   Tuesday Throwdown - Special Man

I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Father In Law

Hello.  I am mailing Father's Days cards out today.  I needed one more for my Father-in-law.  I saw this cute card on Silhouette Online and thought it would be a good card.  I didn't do the stitching on it.   Instead I added a ribbon and textured the ribbon on the bottom of the card.

The pattern called for the inside to be a different color, but I decided not to add it.  If I had added the color, I would have added a dark color and I knew you couldn't write on it.

I am going to use this card for the Digi Sketch Challenge.  The challenge, this week, is For the Men or a sketch.  Since it is a Father's Day card.   I thought it would work.

I hopefully will be back later with something new.  Have a good afternoon.

Sunshine

Hello.  We have been having some gorgeous days lately.  In honor of them, I just had to make this card that I  saw on Kimberly's Crafty Spot.  It was just so cute.  The sunshine is a Miss Kate Cuttables file.

Instead of the banner across the bottom, I added a tag attached with twine.

I am going to use the card for the following challenges:
   Creative Cutting - Anything Goes
   Crafting Desert Divas - Favorite Color (yellow)

Have a great evening.

Father's Day

Hello.  Happy Saturday.  I hope every one has plans to enjoy this weekend.  I am working but I plan on working on my Father's Day card this weekend.  I know I should only need one, but I need at least three (my husband, my Dad, and my Father-in-law).  I will probably make several more just to send to a few more Dads.

This is the first one.  My husband is an electrician so all the tools work great for him.  I did it in red because that is his favorite color.  Really quick and easy but a great card.

To add my on touch to the pattern, I took the screwdriver and screw, colored them with my copics and put them inside the card.


I am going to use this card in the following challenges:
   Creative Cutting - Father's Day Cards
   Eureka - Father's Day

Have a great day and hopefully I will feel like playing tonight after work.  Have a good one.
