Simply Wonderful–Fab Friday Sketch Challenge

Greetings!
I stamped the Fabulous Florets flower images on Velum, dried the ink with my heat gun.  Then I turned the velum over and painted them with my Watercolor Wander Crayons.
I added a charm from my stash (I’m always looking for creative ways to add charms, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, please let me know!)

Always There–Dynamic Duos and Freshly Made Sketch Challenges

Good morning everyone!  I had a rough night last night, so the last time I got up, at 6, I figured what the heck, I’ll just stay up and have some time to myself.  Our grandkids and their mom are currently living with us and everytime I head to my craft room, my 4, almost 5 year old grandson makes a bee line to join me because he “has to help Nana”.  sigh.  I love his “help”, there are sometimes moments when I would really like to be by myself, so I can think & concentrate.
So, this card was created using the following SU supplies:
  • Messages for Mom
  • Halfback Pearls
  • Dimensionals

Kindness

I haven’t been doing a whole lot of card making lately because of my eye.  I somehow scratched my eyeball in the middle of the night while I was sleeping.  I have a feeling it was my hair that did it.  Every once in a while I’ll catch myself getting my hair out of my face & it’ll brush past my eye.  While I’m awake I can prevent any damage from occurring, but while I’m sleeping it’s hard telling.  Anyway, that’s my story & I’m stickin’ to it!  lol
Any amount of eye strain and my eye really starts bothering me.  3 days after it happened, I went to my Dr.  She dropped some eye drops and looked in my eye with a black light.  She didn’t see any scratches, but they could have healed up by that time.  it’s starting to bother me again, so Im thinking I re-aggravated it somehow.

Easter Blessings

Hey everyone!
Having fun with my Dazzling Diamonds and iridescent embossing powder  I covered the entire piece of cardstock with Versa Mark and then applied the embossing powder.  I had a bottle of iridescent powder but I wanted more sparkle so I emptied my half jar of Dazzling Diamonds in with the embossing powder.  The result of anything I use it on is beautiful!  I’m glad I did it and I only wish I would have thought of doing it sooner.
Easter Blessings
Here’s a bit of a closer view.

Cherish–Freshly Made Sketches Challenge

Greetings!  Here is my Freshly Made Sketch Challenge entry. 
undefined
I used the stamps from my stash that are non Stampin’ Up!, but anytime I see butterfly images, especially with a vintage-type feel, I have to get them.  These stamps were actually on sale at JoAnns.  They were 97cents.  Regularly 9$ for the stamp set, they were marked down to 2.99, and then I guess there was an additional discount on top of that.  At the register they rang up as 97 cents.  Feeling guilty at already getting them at the 2.95 price, I questioned the cashier and she went back and looked to make sure.  Sure enough, all the stamp sets I got were all 97 cents.  My first instinct was to go back & get more of the stamp set’s, but I made a promise to myself that I would only purchase items that I know I would definitely use for sure. 
The brads at the bottom are created with my Build-a-Brad kit with the stamped image from my Itty Bitty Bits stamp set.

Dynamic Duo Daffodil Delight

Greetings!
My first card for today is from the Dynamic Duo’s Color Challenge.  The colors are Garden Green & Daffodil Delight.  Hmmm these are the colors that I have the most of in my stash because I use them very rarely.  Today’s card was really quite a challenge.  But, I’ve never let that stop me before.  Winking smile

  • Clear Embossing Powder
  • Sponge Dauber
  • Paper Towel (for rubbing ink off of embossed image)

So, I ran two different sheets of cardstock through my Big Shot, the Whisper White cardstock fits perfectly on the Daffodil Delight mat because I cut the perforated barrier around the shape.
