Sunday Sketch and Stamp! Blessings

Hello everyone!  I'm glad you stopped by today!  Today's card is for Sunday Sketch and Stamp.  We have a wonderful sketch from the wonderfully talented Claire.  Here is the sketch she created

and here is my card

Children are such a blessing, sometimes people forget what pure miracles we are all.  To celebrate this blessing, I created this card with an adorable new hÄnglar & stÄnglar.  Designer papers are from Bo Bunny, I'm not sure who make the pink rose paper.  I hand stitched around all the paper elements with #5 pearl cotton.  The die I used was from the Lacy Labels cartridge from Cricut.  The cute little sentiment is from Memory Makers.  She stamped on Neenah Super Smooth paper and stamp with Memento Black Ink.   I used copic sketch markers to color with.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, I just adore the rose buds from them.

Thanks for visiting me today!

Summer Fun, One Stop Craft Challenge!!

Hi everyone!!  Well, sadly we are nearing the end of summer.  Josh has already gone back to school!!  Thankfully our neighborhood pool is still open!  I made this little sign to hang while we are swimming.  I made the matching little frame to go with it.  I picked up a wooden frame from Michaels and covered it with desginer paper (from my stash).

I used Beach Tilda on both projects.  They are stamped on Neenah Super Smooth paper and stamp with Memento Black Ink.  I used copic sketch markers to color with.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and ribbon is from SU

The adorable (I just may be a little bias) little sweetie in the picture is Katie.

Thanks for stopping by today!!  Have a wonderful day!

Cute Card Thursday - Whateva!

I've been itching to do some Halloween stuff and this week at Cute Card Thursday our challenge is "Whateva" so I thought here is my chance!!  I made this adorable 8 drawer trinket box.  It has a bunch of details and took some time to make but all in all I'm happy with the way it turned out.

Here are the ingredients!

Designer paper is Basic Grey Eerie and CTMH; the spider buttons are from JoAnns.

Stamps: little pumpkins are from SU, large pumpkins are Magnolia and the little witch is from hÄnglar & stÄnglar Halloween 2008 collection.  They are stamped on Neenah Super Smooth paper and stamp with Memento Black Ink.  The haunted house stamp is from Alota.  I stamped the haunted house image in Versamark then I used black embossing powder and embossed it.  The trees are cut with my Cricut, Paper Dolls cartridge.

Here are the copics I used to color with: BG93, E21, E35, BV20, YR01, R20, N0, E44, YR04, C5, W3, YR02, E00 W1, Y38, E33, E43, Y38, R11, E50, TY63, BV23

Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add:  HERE is the tutorial I followed for the box.  You will need to translate it into english and I added 4 extra drawers.

A New Challenge Blog from 7 Kids College Fund!!!

How exciting!!  I am overjoyed to share with you a brand new challenge blog from 7 Kids College Fund.  In honor of the 7 Kids logo, for our first challenge we are asking that you create something that is pink and has polka dots.  How fun is that?  Oh, and the best part of all...7 Kids College Fund is sponsoring all of our challenges!  The randomly drawn first prize is going to be a $50 gift certificate to the store!!    The design team will then pick their Top 3 and they can display our awesome blinkie on their sidebar.  Out of the top 3 we will chose one to be guest designer for our next challenge!

Here is my inspiration for you.  I used Ballerina Tilda.  She is stamped on Neenah Solor White super smooth cardstock with Memento Tuxedo black ink.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The beads are from Jolee'.  And my designer paper is from Basic Grey, Koishi and Cappella.  I used copic sketch markers to color with.  Sorry, I was such in a hurry to get this card done that I forgot to list the copics that I used.  Here are a few that I can think of off the top of my head, E00, E21, R00, R01, R02, R20, E50, E53, E30, E33.

I'm so glad you stopped by today.  I hope you will play along with us, I look forward to seeing your creations!!
