You think I have enough green on this one... I would say so, Well this card is made for all the GREEN challenges out there and some..

I went to Micheal's the other day and I found this 12x12 box with about 40 sheets of Designer Paper for $5.99. There was some paper missing out of the box, but the ones that were still in the box are all so pretty, I could not pass on getting it. I have no idea what the papers are called as there was no label on the box. I use one of the green paper on my card and it work well with SU Kiwi Kiss paper.

I am back....

2010-01-13T19:57:00.017-05:00

First I must apologise to everyone for not blogging for such a long time. I had a lot going on... We move from Okinawa Japan to Bluffton South Carolina. We bought a new house here and it took me a while to get settled in, after living in military housing for over 8 years I needed some color other that beige. Me and my hubby painted and done a lot of little stuff around the house to make it the way we want it and we are still not done, I guess it will take sometime before we get it together. Hopefully we do before our next move..LOL..
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I sure did. We went to New York and spent some quality time with family. After 7 long years this is the first time we get to spend Holidays with family around. It felt so good.
I made this card for Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge over on splitcoast. Did you all notice that ODBD is now part of splitcoast member companies... Yeah for Kelley!! I am so happy for her...
Anyway on to the challenge... Over on Splitcoast Stampers Kelley is kicking off the new year with a challenge and it is to used brown, punches or dies, Check it out HERE and be sure play along. I thought it was such a perfect opportunity for me to get back into the groove of stamping, I need to get my MOJO back so bad... Man it is hard to get back into the groove of things.
On to my card. I used SU chocolate chip, Old Olive, Pink Pirouette and White card stock along with Old olive card stock. I used MS punch and spellbinder rectangle. I also added some pearls, Brad and ribbon for the finishing touch. My stamp is from ODBD.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

Hopefully I will be back in the swing of things soon. I am working on a few cards, hoping to post them soon.

Today my card is for two challenges. First Splitcoast Stamper Way To Use It Challenge is Frugal Finds. My frugal finds are the cuttlebug baby folder which I got a while back for $1.99 and never use it. Also my flowers are made with SU flower punch which I got for free and my pearls are from the Dollar store.
Clear Dollar Stamp is looking for a Guest Designer for the month of March and they are having a challenge to help them find that right person. You can get all the info Here. Their challenge is to use anything Pearls. Well when I saw this challenge I had to play along, not only do I love their stamps, but you all know how much I love to use PEARLS. I was so excite when I saw that they are looking for a guest designer. Just the other day I was on their website looking to buy some stamps from them, right in the middle of me looking at their stamps my little one needed some attention and so I never finish placing that order. I so have to place that order. Their Charlie stamp line is too darn cute to pass on and so are the others. My image is from this beautiful set called Miracle From Above from Clear Dollar stamp. I also add some pearl shimmer mist on my flower.

Happy St Patrick's Day

2009-02-24T02:01:00.007-05:00

So I was on Mojo Monday Blog and was look at all the sketches I miss and saw this sketch. I have no idea how I miss this one but I did and when I saw it I had this idea to use it with this stamp from ODBD with green card stock to make a St Patrick's Day card. I must say that this is way out of my zone. I don't usually use gold and when I do, not this much. I started out with the idea to use my gold cord that has been sitting in my stash for a while. Thinking of St Patrick's day make me think of lots of green and for some odd reason bling, (don't know why bling, maybe I have too much bling on my mind or Mardi Gras...lol!!), so I figure I will use my gold cord and embossing powders. I guess I get a little carried away and ended with this card.

I do like the way it turn out, but I think that I over did it with the gold. lol!!

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs - May God Hold You
Paper: Old Olive, Certainly Celery, Always Artichoke, Wild Wasabi, DP

ODBD Sketch...

Kelley is giving away this set as BLOG CANDY just for playing along! So, start creating with this sketch and you can win. You have until Feb. 28 to upload it in the galleries.

I sing for Joy
Here is my take on the sketch. We sometimes forget about our old stamps as we get new one in, like I did with my very first stamp set from ODBD. It is one of my favorite and I had not play with it for a while. This set was sitting around dying to get ink again, so when I saw this sketch I knew I had to used this stamp set. I am so glad I did. I just love this bird image, there is something about it that make me feel like I wanna sing. Oh but you dont want to hear me sing. LOL!!! I use SU cloud template and sponge to create my sky. I wanted to get a clean look on this card and I think I did just that.

Now it is your turn to try this sketch!

I really like the way this looks. My flower is made with pink pirouette CS following Kim's tutorial she had a while back.

Toady I have two card to share with you all. I made these cards yesterday and could not upload them because my darling husband was messing with the computer. He was done fidgeting with it late in the night, and I was not feeling well. I went and got the flu shot and got sick from it I guess.. Anyway on to my cards!!!!

My first card is for Roxie Sketch Challenge over on Splitcoast. She alway has amazing sketches. As soon as I saw Roxi sketch I knew I was gonna use my new stamp from Our Daily Bread Designs called He is Risen! It is a newly release this month. When I was done putting this card together, I went into my embellishment bin and saw these ribbon flowers that I got from the Yen store a while back and decided to use them on this card. Now I wish I had gotten more, because they really look pretty on my card. I stamp the cross and emboss it with clear embossing powder several time and then wrap hemp Twine around it.

The Featured Stamper this week over on Splitcoast is JuleeHRR and she has an awesome gallery to case from. I settle for this little beauty seen here. Since it is a case, you have to change 2 or more things on your card. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, etc. I change the colors and stamps use on my card. I also add pearls and sew my card. I kept her layout.

Sing to the Lord... My Favorite

2009-01-03T04:38:00.010-05:00

Yesterday Limited supply challenge over on Splitcoast was hosted by the talented Judy!!! Her challenge is to use your favorite stamp or stamp company and boy was it a challenge for me. It took me about 2 hours just to decide what stamp to use. I know right away that I wanted to use pink SU card stock as I love the quality of Stampin Up CS, but which stamp to use was killing me... I have so many favorites stamps, so it was hard to choose which one to use. I settle on Sing to the Lord by Our Daily Bread Designs. This was one of the first stamp set that I got from ODBD and it is one my favorite sets!

Your Path.....

2008-12-18T05:22:00.009-05:00

I had a little free time to stamp this morning and made this card. I made my frame with the corner scroll and it was inspire by one of Amy Sheffer card. She is so talented and all of her creation is STUNNING!!!
After making my first card with Tuesday Color Combination on Splitcoast, I was very please with the way the colors look together. I decided to use the color again for my card today. I had the Urban Garden paper for a while now and never use it, so I thought with these colors it would be a perfect chance to use this beautiful DP again. No telling when again I will use it ...... I tend to hoarder my DP, don't know why, because I have so many. I need HELP, I guess!!!! lol!!!
I don't have any Ribbon to match my card stock, so I dye some white ribbon with Baja Breeze ink and got me some Baja Ribbon!!! I think that I needed to add a few more drops of ink to make my ribbon a shade or two darker. This is my first time trying to dye ribbon. I think it turn out ok, even though it is a not as dark as I would have like it to be. Oh well I learn now for next time.

2008-12-17T02:55:00.009-05:00

I have not post in a couple of days because my Hubby came home from his 9 month long deployment to Afghanistan. I don't know that I will be able to post everyday, but will try to post as much as I can. When he was gone I made cards every little chance I got, (because it help me pass my time and not worried too much about how he is doing), so I use to post everyday, now I will just have to see how much I can stamp...... I am so thankful that he is back home safe and sound.

Now onto my card!!! I made this card for Mojo Monday #65, and Splitcoast Color Combination # 197... I was not sure about these colors together at first but I think they turn out looking good!! I had got this stamp from Verve a while back and never use it, so I decided since this is Julee's Sketch, I might as well use her stamp. I love this Proverbs!!!
I use my SU punches to make some matching flowers for my card. Again I think I went a little flower crazy!! And as you all know by now, my cards will not be complete without some of my pearls!!!!lol!!! My sweet friend Jami Bova made me another beautiful watermark. Thanks so much Jami, I love them both

SC206 Flowers for you.....

2008-12-10T07:04:00.007-05:00

This is the Sketch to follow SC206.

Here is my take!! This card looks better in my head that in person. I have no idea what went wrong! But as we all know, not all of our creations turn out the way we want them to. To create my flowers I use SU 5 Petal Flower Punch and punch 6 riding hood red flowers. I also use SU Boho Blossom punch and punch 3 olive olive and 3 pink pirouette flower. I wrap each flowers into tine ball, open them up, then every layer of flower has been sponged with coordinating ink to brighten the colours and make it pop. Pearls is then added for the finishing touch....

Whiff of Joy has some beautiful images. I love them all , especially this Angel reading her book so peacefully! My layout is from the Whiff of Joy Guess Designer Call over on PCP. You can read all about it here.. I wanted to give my card a 3D look so I cut the Angel out twice and then popped her up with glue dots. I also used some Twinkling H2O on her wings to give it a little shimmery look, and then finish off my card with some pearls...

If you click on the picture it will open a larger image, so you can have a closer look at the detail on my cards.

I am in love with these Ornare! Can you tell? My card today is made with one of the newly released set from Our Daily Bread Designs. I love this verse, so I decided to use it today for my card. I Layer my verse several times with the Nestabilities circle, sewn around the circle, then layer it on my square with some pop up glue dots. I also use some ribbons and a stick pin from my pretties kit, and my Ornare to put the finishing touch to my card. My Layout is from Jen del Maro Sketch for you to try.
