Bright Spring colors!

I am very excited that spring is around the corner.
I am SO done with this muddy winter!.. Blah...

This card is for the YNS Challenge 10 Spring Colours ...... challenge as well as the Creative Card Crew's Challenge 45 Get Well Soon... WAIT the Mojo Monday 126 sketch too.{boy oh boy}

I really got creative with this stamp... See the lamp on the side table? It is actually a bottle!

I added a piece of strategically placed DP to make a lamp shade and Viola!

I wanted to use my new Shark sewing machine on this card.

So I added stitching on the top and bottom of the card. 

I am not sure the tension was right but the stitching is still O.K. Not perfect! but O.K.

I love these bright colors. I had so much fun with these colors I made this wedding card too!

No challenges, just for fun.

Cute little baby Monkey card.

This Cute little Monkey card is inspired by "DEX" from the Movie: The Night at the Museum.

I used a few Challenges to create this card.

The Cinema Saturday Challenge #62 is to use a miniature on a card inspired by the movie,The Night at the Museum. I used a miniature key and a quote between Larry and Dex.

 I selected the colors from {: Embellish Magazine :} striped Purple Brown and Kraft  Challenge. I created some stripes on my card by layering Razzle-berry purple and Chocolate Chip brown ribbons.

 I used this elegant Sketch from 2Sketch4You #44

 

Then I used  Pile it on with the , Tie it Around Challenge to use 3 ribbons.  I used stitched Chocolate chip brown grosgrain, Razzle-berry purple grosgrain ribbon and Chocolate chip brown Satin ribbon.

Happy Krafting!

Twilight Valentine

Here it is, my first Valentine of the season and it is a Twilight Valentine!

I made this card for a die hard fan of Twilight. She doesn't even know how many times she has read the Twilight saga.  We are talking a person who's read the book 50 or mabey even more times. She really know the whole story.

So, I had to used lines from the books to convince her it was really from her Edward!

Front~~~~~Back

Front says: "My Singer"

Back says: You're nor sleeping, and you're not dead. I am hear and I love you.

 I was also looked for pictures to inspire me. I personally love the Meadow scene. It's so pretty!

The colors for this week Colour Q #14 were great for re-creating the meadow's serene beauty.

The Twilight Tuesday Challenge is for Sparkle! so I placed a sparkle in the flowers.

I would love to hear a Twilighter's view of the my Twilight Valentine?

I also have a little giveaway today so comment HERE for a card kit.

Happy Krafting!

I hope you all had a great week-end. It is defiantly Autumn here in southern Ontario. So we took some time to stroll in the park and look at the leaves with the kids. I know it is monday, so take a peek at Fridays post if you need a boost! I have some card maker's bloopers.

I am a new copic marker user, I am more comfortable with watercolors or colored pencils. I don't really know what I am doing with the markers but whatever... now is the time to learn.

Here is a card I made by embossing Anya and Ian. I colored them with the copic markers .

My main purpose was to blend colors from different color families.

I think it turned our pretty good!?! ***If you know of any great tutorials let me know.***

Hope you are Smiling! :)

I mentioned last post that I have more party stuff and a great card.

Well, here we go...

We gave a huge stuffed gorilla to our 4 year old for her birthday. I could not wrap it so I had to decorated it. The gorilla had a decorated party hat and a sash. When my little one got it, she loved the sash and wore it all day!

Now for my card! To make this card, I used a few different challenges to make it special.

It had to be extra special because it was for our 11th Wedding Anniversary!

charm{story}

I really like scrapbooking but it seems that I spend more time on card making....I wonder why?

Anyhow, here is a page I made for my birthday. I had some ID photos from a charm bracelet I made for my Mom last year. The picture were all so precious, I kept a copy for myself. So, I named the layout "Charm Story".

The large photo is a crappy print from my printer. I'll get a real photo printed for my scrapbook,later. I just love this picture of me. {I am always behind a camera} The camera in this photo is very unique my husband picked it up at a yard sale, before we met. We don't know much about it but it is OLD. {must have known he'd marry a shutter-bug}

I used lots of rub-ons for this layout, and black velvet ribbon. {tres luxe} I also used my favorite colors: Teal and Lilac.

{material} patterned paper by Basic Grey. card-stock by SU! Rub-on by Daisy D's. Brad, ribbon and button from the nooks and crannies of my KraftNook.

Well, You may have noticed that I am very excited about my birthday! I did a little birthday shopping {with birthday money of course}. I ordered some stamp from Greeting Farm and Verve stamp. I ordered both today... so ... The race is on! Wonder which order will arrive first!

Only two Days left on my Giveaway, OK,

Shaz

Sketched{page}

I love scrap-booking! It is truly my favorite thing to do.

I found this great site called: Unscripted Sketches.

It was mentioned on Momiji's blog {Hollie}.

When I saw Hollie's sample, I could not resist.

Take a look, this is Sketch #25:

The Sketches are so perfect.

Well, I dug right in and scrapped 3 pages inspired by this sketch.

Only 2 ended up looking like the sketch so here they are.

It was so much fun! I had a great time making these pages.

What do you think ?

Don't Forget about my GIVEAWAY!

Only 4 sleeps until my Birthday!

See you soon,
