Thanks for your cute ATC Jamie. Sorry, I don't know the stamp company even though I've seen these cute chicks so many times. Good golly it's already Weds. where is the week going???

Friday Challenge...I like it Hot

This is one of my favorite relaxing in the afternoon drinks, a good cup of Earl Grey tea. I stamped my cup, in black permanent ink and used my water colored pencils. Nothing to it once the coloring is done. What a blunder...it's on navy blue cardstock, which DD never uses and I think finds disgusting. Matted it on a few pieces of paper, added the tea string lable and viola I'm done. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I have the party at church on Saturday which I am looking forward to. Hugs to all.

ATC swap card

This adorable ATC was sent to me by my SBS 5 sister Kanani. I decided to turn it into a card as it was so cute. All the ATC's sent me will become cards...love them.
This is all Stampin Up supplies on the center ATC and I just found some matching colors to turn it into a card. Thanks Kanani. You can click on her name in my SBS 5
list to see her work. Have a great day.

This was a tough one

The pastor of my parish is celebrating his 40 year as a Franciscan priest and Saturday we are having a dinner party for him. Since we no longer have a Catholic book store or card shope I decided to make this card. I used brown card stock as that is the color of his friar's frock. Matted on gold and the Congrats stamp is Inkadinkado the rest was the computer, brown ribbon and some Magenta peel & sticks.
Do you think it's too fru fru???

Friday Challenge...Bold

Well this Friday challenge calls for BOLD !!! My card is kind of simple but color wise it's bold. Used DP from Memory Keepers and cut two scalloped circles with my Nesties stamped the Hugs from Hero Arts in chocolate brown and edged my ivory in the same brown added a bit of brown ribbon and it's done.

Big Storms in Michigan

Sorry no posting this week but we had horrible storms with very high winds knocking down trees and power lines. I was without power for 5 days and that is not fun. Will show a card tomorrow

Swap Image

Sorry I don't know what company makes this image as I got it in a swap and it wasn't marked. Anyway I used my water colored pencils,blender, a bit of glitter, ribbon to match the sage and pink, and some dew drops and it was done. Happy Monday to you all.

Friday Challenge

Well today the Friday challenge on No Time to Stamp is to use a solid image and create a silhouette design. I'm not sure mine is done correctly but anyway it's done.
My tree stamp is a All Night Media that I used a brown marker on and the phrase I also did the marker and it is Paper Trey Ink. Just used a dark brown card stock with some DP from Lasting Impressions and then layered my light card stock over. Gold edged my tree piece and that was all. Happy weekend to all of you in blogland.

All Sticker Card

This is of course a very simple card as it is made with stickers. Penny Black is the main focus sticker and the butterfly and gold strip are Magenta peel offs. Love to make these kind of cards as they are easy yet very pretty.
