Two for Tuesday

Hello Blogger-land,

Today I am going to show you two cards. Each one is using a Ketto stamp from Stampin' Bella. These stamps have been neglected for a while and it was fun to pull them out. And get them inky.

For this card I used the sketch at :

JUGS

I am also submitting this card for :

2 Sisters Challenge : red, pink and white

Just Add Ink : red and white

Mad 4 Markers - "R" and "RV"

and for the second card

This little doll was created using the sketch at :

I am also submitting it over at

I hope you enjoyed taking a look at these little beauties.

Have a great day,

Until tomorrow...

Summer is on the way...

Hello all of my crafty friends.

I was purusing around blog-land this morning and decided to sit at my craft table to create a few cards of my own.

I colored this image the other day while waiting for one of my husbands specialist appointments. (The doctor was over 2 hours late...) Having been through this before I came preparred with a bunch if copic markers and some prestamped images and made good use of my time. In total we spent 4 hours at the doctors so needless to say, I colored a BUNCH of cute images.

This card was created using the colors at : Color Q

Love this little sweety from Lily of the Valley.

And nothing says summer like picking dandilion and watching them blow in the wind.

That's why I feel this card fits into the Summer challenge at : Paper Romance.

This card also qualifies for the following challenges :

The recipe challenge at : Crazy 4 Challenges

3 - patterned papers

2 - flowers

1 - button

Our Creative Corner - floss (on the button)

Stamp Something - wings

Just Add Ink - flowers

I know I used alot of challenges, they all just seemed to work together.

I hope you like and have a good day!!

A little thankyou...

Hello Everyone,

Tonight I have two thankyou cards to show. My sister has asked me if I could put together an order of cards for her. She doesn't live close to me so she is hoping that when she visits in April, that I can give them to her then. (I guess, she is trying to be preparred...a little out of character for her, but what the hey...) So I have set out to complete her order. She wants (among other cards) 15 random thank-you cards. These two will go to her.

Card #1

was created using the sketch from Mojo Monday

and it is also for the Jugs Add Ink challenge - monocramatic.

I went with my fave color green.

 I am also submitting it for the Paper Sundae challenge -
 to pick your favourite challenge of the past year.
I chose to add a bit of hand cut flowers (which I love).
 It was from Challenge #49 to cut it out.

It also qualifies for the Stamp Something challenge : anything goes

and the inside :

And for Card #2

I used the Clean and Simple sketch

And the colors from Just Us Girls 

Okay so maybe my coral came out more like pink. Tee hee

But I do love this new flocked self adhesive ribbon.

I got it at Walmart for $1.67 for 36". Score!!

Well, gotta run.

I have one little girl who needs a bath before bed.

Have a good night. I'll be back tomorrow to show you another thankyou card.

Until then...

Another one for Ya!!

I was running out the door this morning and just did a quick

 - one card post -

 but I do have a few more for ya!!

Here is a card I made using the sketch at OCC

and my inspiration was from the ETSY challenge

I love these large grommets - I have a whole case of them - just sitting there collecting dust so I thought I would pull out my hammer and grommet tool and go to town!!

And this little card was create for the sketch over at Clean and Simple

I also followed this guidelines over at Saturday Spotlight

 to create a birthday card using your birthstone. I'm a May baby so my birthstone is Emerald. And what do you know - I just happened to have emerald rhinestones in my stash!!

One more for ya...

This card was made with the Just Add Ink sketch

(I tipped it on the side and altered the dimensions - ever so slightly)

and I used the colors from the Play Date Cafe challenge

Okay, well have a good night and see you - hopefully - tomorrow!!
