Eureka!! (SACC58)

Welcome to another ANYTHING GOES Sister Act Challenge!

This week Eureka Stamps is generously sponsoring our challenge.

Thank you so much for your support!

I got to play with 'Dragon Blowing Candles'. He's perfect for a birthday card (Stay tuned...I have a "girl" version coming). I colored him up using my Prismacolor pencils. I used white gel pen to accent the spots and nails on my dragon. The card base is So Saffron and Pacific Blue is for the mats. The chevron scrap is from DCWV's Sunday Afternoon collection. The balloons in Versamark are from the SU set, Birthday Whimsy. (I wish I had added more balloons...might have to go back and try to do that.)

On the inside, I used up my scraps and added more balloons with So Saffron ink. The sentiment is from the same set and is stamped in Versafine Black Onyx ink. 

This card measures 5.5 by 5.5 inches square. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Before I get into our new challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations, I feel the need to explain my title. Have you ever had an idea in your head and just couldn't get it out as a card? This is one of those projects for me. I knew what I wanted to create and I just couldn't get it to come together. So after the FOURTH attempt, I decided that this was it. Ready or not, I was putting it out there and stickin' by it. :)

This week are sponsored by Meljen's Designs! 

They are offering our randomly drawn winner FOUR images! Wow.

Thank you, Meljen!

Our challenge for you this week is NAUTICAL.

Nautical Cupcake Wrappers from Styling the Moment

Here's my take...

I got to play with Lots O Love Octopus, and it's he a cutie? :) I colored him up with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut him out. (This is card number 4; 3rd colored image used; 2 time fussy cut.) I stickled the hearts with Christmas Red Stickles. My designer paper is Fancy Pants' Down By the Shore collection. I love it but still I had a hard time picking out which papers went with my vision. I've had this paper FOREVER, and I am desperately trying to work through my "collection" of papers. The circles are all cut using my Nestabilities Small and Large Circle dies. The card base and all mats are Neenah Desert Storm cardstock.

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy. :)

Just a little something...

I threw together for a friend's birthday. I don't get to see her much but as it's a BIG birthday (40, but I won't tell Kristy!), I couldn't resist making her a special card.

All the papers are from the Simon Says Stamp Kit from March 2014 (no longer available). I colored my Stamping Bella 'Uptown Girl Paisley has a Prezzie' with my Copic markers. I'm realizing it's time to get a wider variety of colors. :) The sentiment is from one of my favorites, Printworks' Small Tag Lines.

I completed the card with a matching envelope. And used sparkly letters just for the occasion. :)

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

You're Outta This World! (SACC57)

Welcome to another ANYTHING GOES Sister Act Challenge!

This week Deasy Designs is generously sponsoring our challenge.

Thank you so much for your support!

The team got to play with Space Adventure and I have the perfect need for these images! My girls have tons of birthday parties in the next few weeks, and I know that I will be getting some great use from this set. :) Here's the first card I've created...(forgive me, I'm feeling a bit rusty after not crafting for three weeks. :))

I used the Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit Club for May because it went perfectly with the Deasy digis. I colored up all my images with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut them out. That's it. :) 

On the inside, I used the leftover scraps and added my sentiment. I will have the girls write in white crayon or pen for the greeting. They'll love that. 

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

This week our challenge is to use the colors Apricot, Pistachio, and Espresso.

Peach and Green Wedding Cupcakes by The Cupcake Studio

I stamped my image from the 'Foxy' set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him up with my Prismacolor pencils. That's about it. I don't have any apricot paper and very few coloring mediums either so I had to make do. :) This is a small card, about 2.5 by 3.5 inches or so.

(My girls are STILL loving the song 'What does the fox say?' and I while I'm away I left this for them to open. They each got one, hence 'What is the fox STILL saying?')

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.

Original found here

I started with the Rain or Shine stamp and sentiment set from Unity Stamp Company. I colored two of the images up with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut the umbrella out of one. I popped it up it create some depth. This is going to my husband while I'm away; there's a little love on the inside. :)

Welcome to another ANYTHING GOES Sister Act Challenge!

This week Scrapbook Stamp Society is generously sponsoring our challenge.

Thank you so much for your support!

Very simple card this week. :) I used Stampin' Up's Night of Navy (It's become one of my favorites!) and white cardstock. I embossed my My Favorite Things sentiment with SU Sterling Silver embossing powder. The Lil Inker star die was a surprise from my sweet friend, Emily (check her out on my side bar), and I cut them out of vellum. I added sequins where my glue was a little thick.

Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
