Sweet Umbrella Card

Hello Everybody!

I made this card this evening and I think it's sweet-so I hope you do to! :)

I had umbrellas on my mind from the challenge at Inspired By #18.  Here the inspiration picture:

And as I write this there are about 12 hours left to play at this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #29.  Their sketch help me get my card finished-umbrella included! :)

Here is my card.  The umbrella is from a piece of scrapbook paper by 3 Bugs in a Rug.  Then there is paper from Authentique (grey background), Echo Park (pink writing) and the hearts are from 3 Bugs also.  the blue is scrap and I don't know where it's from.  The letters are Making Memories.

Here is a closeup of the bird on the umbrella.  I embossed the pink cardstock.

Until next time my friends...stay dry :)

Saint Patrick's Day Card

Hello Everybody!

I still have a few more St. Patty Day cards to make!  Thankfully, Laurel at Inspired By has a great inspiration picture to get my juices flowing....

I used the streamers as inspiration for my shamrocks.  I stamped each one and colored it with a green Copics marker.  I layered the strips of light green shamrocks paper on the bottom.  I used my slice to cut the scalloped oval and used a G Studio stamp (love this stamp!) for the sentiment.

Here's a close up of the bottom half of the card.  I used my gold leaf pen to outline the oval.  Love that gold!

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...there's still a little time to make some Saint Patrick's Day cards!

Doodles, doodles-Everywhere!

Hello Everybody,

I am posting another card right now (2 in a row=fun!) for not only the Let's Scrap Blog Hop but also for the challenge at Inspired By... Laurel picks out great photos for inspiration and you can play along too!

So this week's picture is...

This is a great picture, don't you think?  I love all of those frames on the wall!  The sketch I used was created by Debby de Wilde and is stop #48 on the Let's Scrap Blog Hop.

Here's my card... I used the colors from the picture and the girliness of it.  The strip is from a roll of Tim Holtz tape, and the stickers are from Me and My Big Ideas.  The stickers are what inspired the rest of the doodling.  I saw the crown in the picture and had to draw one.  Without the doodling the card just seemed kind of unfinished.  Then once the pink was finished, the blue looked naked so I hand drew stitching.

Here is a close up.  Doodling is fun.  :)  Until next time my friends....what will you doodle?

Santa Car Card

Hello Everybody!

There are 2 challenges going on right now with Santa Claus's, and I thought I could do one more Christmas card even though Christmas is over.  I may donate them next year since we usually do a picture card for our Christmas cards.  But that's 365 days from now ;) 

My two challenges are:

Cuttlebug: Santa Baby   and

Inspired By Challenge #3

This Hello Santa was the inspiration for the #3 Challenge at Inspired by.  Go by and check out these awesome blogs!  There may still be time to play!  :)

 So here is my Santa Claus card...Scroll down, and I'll show you what I did!

This is from the Recollections paper pad Jolly and Bright.  Look at all those wonderful Santas!  How do I choose?

I'll take the one in the fast car! ;)

I used KI Memories Snowflake paper as my base.  The green paper has an irredescence and it is from Wassua paper.  I used a couple of these Heidi Grace swirls as exhaust fumes.  (That's funny when you say that out loud!)

The next 2 photos are of snowflakes and Christmas icons I have that are like sequins but they shapes.  My mom-in-law got me the assortment, and I don't remember when or how I acquired the snowflakes.

And here's my card.  Santa's car is glittery red.  Love it! 

Until next time my friends...stay wintery!
