Glitter Galore!

I am really late in posting this challenge for Modern Sugar Blvd! So sorry for that. The most recent challenge on the MSB blog was to use glitter. I mean really use glitter! :)

The image if from MSB of course. The patterned paper is DCWV. I really slapped the glitter on this card. I don't know how well you can tell in the photo, but it is covered!

I love sparkly anything so I loved this challenge! Be on the lookout for the next fun project over at MSB!!

My DH and I are celebrating our 9 year wedding anniversary this Wednesday. So, I'm sure I'll be posting a lovey-dovey card sometime this week. :)

Release Day and Sweet Saturday Challenge!

When I first colored the image for today's MSB challenge I wasn't sure if I was going to like the result. I don't often use purple. After I finished I decided I was going to start using it more often! :) I colored the boots with Bic markers and added a little bling to the flowers. I stamped the background paper with VersaMark ink using the SU set "Beyond the Basics". All paper is SU. I made the dots with my white gel pen.

Check out this challenge later today on the MSB blog or swing by the store and get your hands on some of the amazing new releases!

I made this birthday card for my aunt whose birthday is the 4th of July! :)

Squigglefly Challenge #2

Since I am coming in late to the Squigglefly design team; I *just* missed last week's challenge. It was a recipe challenge. In all the hullaballoo I got my dates confused and made a card anyway. :) I didn't want my efforts to go to waste, so here is my creation:*The inside of the card reads: If that's what the early bird gets, I'm sleeping in!

I colored the cutie image with my PrismaColor pencils and then pop-dotted him. The blue line along the middle is blue floss that I threaded along the curve. The orange dotted paper is from DCWV. The "W" is chipboard.

Here is a link to Challenge #2 over at the Squigglefly blog. While you're there you can check out the current challenge as well. :)

Modern Sugar Blvd Challenge #3

It's that time again! Time for a new challenge over at MSB. This week it's a color challenge. Here's my creation: The challenge is to use pink, brown and ivory on your project as well as this sketch:I printed the cupcake onto a couple of sheets of different PP. Then I cut each piece out and in the case of the bottom of the cupcake redrew the lines. I added some sparkle to the candles. The satin ribbon is from Michael's.

Good luck with this week's challenge. You can't go wrong with that color combo. Try it out and see what you think! :)

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #7

For the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge #7 the requirement was to use the colors pink, brown and green. The pink and brown were no problem for me, but the green had me stuck. :) This is what I finally came up with:The image is a digital stamp from Modern Sugar Blvd (Doodler - I'm Here). I colored the image with Bic markers. I embossed the pink CS with a Sizzix flower folder. I can't remember the name of it, but I'm looking around. :) The sentiment is from the SU set "So Many Scallops". All the CS is from SU.

I was able to get a lot accomplished while my DS was napping yesterday. This challenge, my swap on SCS and a card for Post Pals. It doesn't happen very often, but sometimes I am actually pretty productive. :)

Cupcake challenge and a birthday!

I made this card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge 39 - Card for a man or boy. It was the perfect challenge this week since my little cousin had his 1st birthday party Saturday. I was able to make a card for him and the challenge! :)

The image is from Dustin Pike. The patterned paper is from DCWV-All Boy stack and the cardstock is from SU. The sentiment is from the SU set "Birthday Banter".

Don't forget to check out the MSB Create-A-Card digi set giveaway! Two winners will get the entire set of digi stamp images that will be released on the 30th!!

Challenge #2 at MSB

What a great challenge last week at MSB!! The cards were awesome! I hope everyone had a great time creating and getting their hands on some incredible new digi stamps!

Now get ready to do it again! Cruise on over to see this week's challenge. But before you go, here's the card I made for this week's event:I made the "flower" using three different sized circle punches. I then distressed them. The sentiment is from the SU set "A Little Love". The images are all from MSB.

Enjoy today's challenge and good luck!! :)

Mad Hatter Card

I made this card for the Digital Tuesday Challenge this week. Non traditional folding or non traditional shaped cards.

Stamps: Wonderland (The Greeting Farm)
Cardtock: Black (HL), Purple (SU)
Accessories: Crystal (HL), White Gel Pen (Archiver's)

I just got this stamp set from TGF and I thought it would be great for the DTC. Since Ian is the mad hatter, a top hat card seemed perfect. I made the card shape using clip art that I traced onto cardstock. I had to tweak it quite a bit to get it to work for this project. I drew the white lines to highlight the card a little bit more. I colored the images with Bic markers. I drew/cut the flowers freehand and then distressed them.

Another challenge down and no end in sight! :)

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge

Paper: Whisper White & Pumpkin Pie (SU), Black (LSS)

Ribbon: LSS

Sentiment: Fundamental Phrases (SU)

Coloring: Bic Markers

Accessories: Pop Dots

I made this card for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog. Sketches used to make me nervous, but I am really starting to like them now. The flower image I found on the Crafting in Croatia blog. I found it while blurfing one of my commenters. (That sounds funny...) :)

Cuttlebug Wedding Challenge

This is a card I made for the Cuttlebug Challenge blog's "Be Inspired #30 Weddings Challenge". This is my first try at one of their challenges. Since I am using my 'bug so much I figured I might as well try a few challenges. Get some ideas and see what that bad boy can do!

This is one pop-dotted card! The embossed layer is popped, the bow is "kinda" popped and the sentiment is popped. I think I will have to buy more foam dots.

Paper: Target White Cardstock
Ribbon: Walmart
Embossing Folder: D'vine Swirl
Sentiment: Carte Postale (SU)

Today was a VERY productive day for me so I will have stuff to post all week. Yaa! :)

MSB's First Ever Challenge and A Mother's Day Card

Modern Sugar Blvd is hosting their first ever challenge today! Yaaaa! Here is the card I made for the big event! I stamped the turquoise paper using my VersaMark ink pad. I cut the big, pink flower by hand. The smaller green flower I made using the SU scallop circle punch. The jewels are from Hobby Lobby. The sentiment and swirl images are from the SU set "I Like Your Style". The colored the cutie girl with my Bic markers and pop-dotted her. All the paper is SU.

The card is based on this sketch:You can join in too. You don't have to use an MSB image but they are too cute not to have anyway!! And right now the digi stamps are 50% off! You cannot beat that! The sale runs until tomorrow night. Here's the link if you want to check it out: http://passemoncardcompany.com/?code=MamaDay. Get all the details on the MSB Blog.

And just in time for Mother's Day; I finished a card using one of the beautiful new "Mama" images at MSB. The great thing about digital images is that you have your product immediately. So if you still need a card for Mother's Day, grab one of these and you'll have it finished in no time!! If you're looking for some last minute gift ideas or just some fun, check out MSB. You can get some awesome inspiration from the other DT members or upload your own amazing work!! Ok, that's enough plugging for one day! :)
