Red and Yellow Layout

Hello Everybody!

Tonight I was inspired by a sketch and washi tape.  I will be honest-I looked all through my washi tape and found two red designs.  I put the washi on the cardstock and then I went and looked for a picture.  Usually I have the picture first and build the page around it.  There was something very fun doing it a bit backwards-but I don't know if I can do that all the time!

I am working on using my stash-I have set a goal of making 30 pages before I buy anything new.  (I know!  But I am trying to stay strong!) lol!  This make page 7.

I would like to submit this to the following challenges:

Stick It Down: Single Sketch

Use Your Stuff:  #351 Washi Tape (the chevrons and polka dots)

Some Product Details:  I used Golden's Diarylide Yellow paint to make the background dots.  Washi tape from Recollections (Michaels).  I made the gears from some of the left over mat paper.  Chipboard bits from Pebbles and the red stars are from ScrapYard 329.  The red letters and & are Hot off the Press and Yellow is Thickers.  And then there are some things I just found in my stash that worked.

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...stay in color! :)

Lucky Card

Hello Everybody!

I made this card and forgot to post it yesterday!  

Green is the background-I took the picture of the card on a white paper lol.  I cut Yupo paper on the Silhouette.  Then I used the old school Ranger inks to color the shamrock.  I cut glitter gold paper using Tim Holtz letter dies (I love these!).  The white panel is a shamrock embossing folder-this is the first time I have used it.  Woo Hoo! :)

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

Let's Craft and Create: #145 Anything Goes + Optional Green

Addicted To CAS: #155 Green

Yellow Card

Hello Everybody!

There's a new challenge called Rainbow Card Challenge and this month the color is yellow.  I thought I love yellow!  I can do that easily!

Ha! It was not that easy-even though I brought out all things yellow.  I inked Ranger Chrome Yellow ink on a Crafter's Workshop stencil. 

The overall feeling was whimsical so I thought I would free hand Nuvo Crystal Drops.  It's whimsy-I'm not sure if it conveys that to other people.  I had a Happy Birthday sticker and this chipboard flower from Pebbles.  I added some Stickles in the middle.  

I have to say the Nuvo really holds up.  It's cool to run your finger on the raised dots.  :)

I would also like to submit this card to the following challenges:

Until next time my friends!

Cute Desk Card

Hello Everybody!

I have made some cards and I am so excited to share them with you!  This card I made for my dad-who is a little hard to make cards for.  He doesn't fish or play golf-he is more into computers.  I wanted to make him something cool so this is a cut file from the Silhouette Design Store.

This is the inside of the card-on the laptop it says Happy Birthday.  I used little brads for the knobs.  I used enamel accents from Ranger for the center of the flower.  The paper on the "wall" and "floor" are from K & Company.

I always see these cards and wonder what people put on the front of the card.  So I had to use my own creativity (lol) and created this:

This embossing folder and the little letters (die cutes) are Tim Holtz.  I used scrap paper (woo hoo! trying to use those bits up!) I love these little letters!  

Unfortunately, I'm not the greatest paper engineer there is-so when I folded my masterpiece-it did NOT fold right LOL.  So I pushed the card as far down as I could (hoping the desk will be ok) and had to use a larger envelope and some bubble wrap.  

I am submitting this desk card to:

Pink Layered Card

Hello Everybody!

I have been creating but not posting-time is just flying by!

I have seen and bought a couple of these layering files from the Silhouette Design Store-if you use the design store I'm sure you have seen them.  They are layered files that create depth.  So cool!

I put a light pink on the bottom and a bright pink in the middle to give it some pop.  This card is for a sweet lady who's mom passed away.  Her mom was 101!  What a blessing that is!  Her mom's request for everyone attending the service was to wear pink.  So a pink sympathy card was what was needed.  It was a Celebration of Life and not a funeral-it was a very special event indeed. 

I have some more cards I will be posting so stayed tuned! :)

Until next time my friends...stay pretty in pink :)

Soccer Layout

Hello Everybody!

I'm using the double page sketch over at Stick It Down to create this fun layout.  Here's the sketch:

And here's my take on the sketch.

I used Doodlebug pattern paper, green cardstock from Craftsmith and some letter stickers.  I used my Silhouette to make the soccer ball.  And I used a few little soccer stickers from Paper Studio that are a bit sparkly and squishy-so fun!

Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...Goal! :)

Hello Santa Layout

Hello Everybody!

Today I finished a layout page using the single sketch at Stick It Down.  I love the triangles!  And thankfully one of the team members-Melissa Kay-told how to make these triangles.  You make a 4 inch square and cut it in half.  What??  Yeah that easy--and thank goodness because until I visited her blog I had no idea.  LOL  Geometry and I have never gotten along--especially since high school.  But that's a story for a different day.

I used a glitter paper from Recollections.  Most of the papers, letters, and stickers are from Doodlebug.  I don't know what the collection is called but it was one of my favorites from a few years ago.  Also, there are some Tim Holtz stars at the top, clear rhinestones, a bling candy cane from Hobby Lobby and some Thickers (the red metallic corners). 

Here's the sketch.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  Until next time my friends...keep that Christmas spirit coming even if it's January! :)
