Multiple Challenge Cards

Good morning everyone!! It's 1:00 AM and I'm still up...yikes!!! I am going to be sooo tired tomorrow!!! Anyway....
The Ways to Use It challenge on Splitcoast yesterday was to use doubles. You could use two of the same image, buttons, brads, ets. I inked up some new Unity Stamps that needed a little love today!! These are images from the June KOTM...they were colored with copics, glitter was added to the bee's wings, and a Swarouski Crystal was added to the flower center. The ribbon is Melon Berry from PTI and the dp is by Making Memories. This is also for last weeks DDC challenge hosted by Joanne (sleepyinseattle) to make a Summery card using yellow, blue, and orange. My orange is more coral but don't tell Joanne!!!



If you want to play along just add DDC to the keywords section so we can find your card! Here is the link to the DDC challenge thread.

Recipe:

Stamps: Unity June KOTM
Paper: White, Black, Just Chillin dp by Making Memories

I made this card for the Color Challenge on Tuesday. The colors were Barely Banana, Lavender Lace, White, Black, and Going Gray. I didn't have any Going Gray so I used Basic Gray. I really struggled with the color combo...after reworking the card several time I decided to stop and call it a day!!! The bride image was stamped with Archival Jet Black and embossed with clear ep. The dp is from Stampin Up, the crystal flourishes from Hobby Lobby, and the May Arts ribbon from Rubbernecker. This is also for this weeks Double Dare challenge hosted by Fran (Francie G.) to make a wedding card.

Wacky Wednesday

Good morning everyone!!! It's Wednesday and you know what that means...it's time for another Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday. The hostess today is Miss Jules and she has an inspiration challenge for us today!! She found this wonderful Esty store called Janine King Designs. It is full of beautiful things to inspire you!!! I fell in love with this awesome zebra striped sling purse. I even had some zebra striped paper called Hot Mama Zebra by Glitz Designs. I did a little sewing around the edges for some texture and sewed the black ruffle on at the bottom. The silhouette from Rubbernecker's Fashion Icon's set #455 was stamped on Prism Intense Pink cardstock with Archival Jet Black and embossed with clear ep. The other images from the same set were all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, cut out and attached with dimensionals.






The sentiment says " saw it, loved it, bought it!" ...how true is that!!!! Ribbon, Kaiser wood flourish, and buttons finish it off.

I had to make one more card because I found another purse called, Asian Cherry Blossom, that was sooo beautiful!!! I used one of the flower image from Rubbernecker's Flower Silhouette #2 set, stamped the image twice with Archival Jet Black and embossed with clear ep. The image and red background were cutout with Nestabilites and the black layer was cut freehand.
The sentiment from the same set was also stamped with Archival Jet Black and cut out with Nesties.



Martha Stewart butterfly punch, black pearls, red bling, and black silk ribbon finish it off.

CAS Challenge, Featured Stamper Challenge, and Limited Supply Challenge

Good morning everyone!! I have been one busy Grandma the past few days!!! We kept our 21 month old Grandaughter Caitlyn since Friday so her parents and older brother could go to Six Flags in Dallas. It was 102 degrees on Saturday...yikes!!! Sure glad I stayed home!!! We also had a birthday party for our oldest Granddaughter...CJ turned 14!!! Can that really be true???? She is growing up toooo fast!!! Anyway...the kids are home and I am playing catchup with updating my blog!!

The CAS challenge on Splitcoast today is an inspiration challenge...check out this awesome art web site!! After looking at hundreds of pictures, I decided to find inspiration from this beautiful yellow flower.





The Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Blooms Dahlia image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.
I added some distressing around the edges with the Itty Bitty background stamp and Baja Breeze ink.

Ribbon is the only embellish. Boy was that hard not to add some bling, scallops, and a few more layers!!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Blooms Dahlia
Paper: Whisper White, River Rock, Baja Breeze, Laura Ashley dp
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Ribbon, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Copics




Friday's Limited Supply challenge on Splitcoast was to:
1. Crop an image
2. Repeat the cropped image on your card at least 3 times
3. Embellishments : brads and eyelets only!

Well, I got the first two right but didn't remember to use only brads and eyelets....I waited all evening for the challenge police to come knocking on my door!!!!
The Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Bloom Dahlia image was stamped three times and colored with copics. The 1 1/4 inch punch was used to punch out different angles of each flower and layered them on the black and Lemon tart from Papertrey Ink. The background designer paper is from Sassafras, the crystal flourish is from Prima and I added glitter to the flower centers and leaves to qualify this for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge.


I was sooo excited to see Kelly (schirmcat) chosen as Sunday's Featured Stamper !! She made her claim to fame with the naughty and nice Christmas list of SCS's last Christmas!!! Hummmm...I wonder what kind of trouble she will stir up this year!!!!! I thought I would get on her good side by casing her sweet little Merci card to thank her for all the fun (how did she know about my naughty side, anyway???)!!! I kept the same layout and colors but changed the stamps...I used Rubbernecker's Springtime Inchies and changed the buttons and ribbon to PTI's. I also wrote the sentiment instead of stamping it like Kelly did on her card. The paper was changed to Making Memories dp called Flower Patch and I added an extra layer of green cardstock.







Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker Springtime Inchies
Paper: Whisper White, Lemon Tart by PTI, Prism Classic Yellow Green

Wacky Wednesday and Creative Belli Challenge

Good morning everyone!!! It's Wednesday and you know what that means...it's time for another Rubbernecker Wacky Wednesday. The hostess today is Miss Bad Sherry herself and she has a color challenge for us today: pink, purple, and green.

I stamped flowers from Rubbernecker's Wildflower set #465 onto vanilla cardstock with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored with copics. The large flower was stamped twice, one was cutout, colored, and attached with a glue dot. Assorted colored pearls were added to the flower centers and to the Martha Stewart punched butterflies. Piercing was done around the edges of the purple layer and sewing was done around the designer paper layer. May Arts Ribbon with a silver ribbon slide finishes it off.

Little antennas were drawn on for the butterflies and a silver Dew Drop was added to the large flower center. The cardstock is Prism and the dp is from Provo Craft.

Recipe:
Stamps: Wildflowers #465
Paper: Vanilla, Prism Vibrant Pink, Prism Frosted Amethyst, Prism Suede Brown Dark, Provo Craft dp

Clean and Simple Meets the Featured Stamper and the DDC Challenge!!

You may be wondering why I have two cards here. Well, to make a long story short....I have a real hard time with CAS cards!!! I made the card on the right first...kept adding and adding layers and other stuff until it didn't qualify for a CAS.






Not to be foiled, I started over and kept the layers to a minimum. Whoohoo...I think it did it!!! Who said that making CAS cards was easy?????

This is also for Sunday's Featured Stamper challenge to honor Sandra {B-gin-r}. She has such a fabulous gallery...check it out!! I cased her Fried Chicken Anyone card...kept the same layout but changed the colors, papers, and used Clear Dollar Stamp's Tangy Trio stamps.








I also made this for last weeks DDC challenge hosted by me to make a card using your favorite colors. I love fall colors so I used green, red, and shades of yellow. Please join the DDC challenge...be sure to add DDC to the keywords section of your upload so we can find your card. Check out the DDC Gallery for lots of inspiration!!

Alaska the Beautiful!!

Hello everyone!!! I just wanted to share a few pictures of my Alaska trip with you....we won't be coming home till Friday but I had access to a computer for a few minutes today so I down loaded some pictures of our first few days.

This is a moose we saw along the road....just look at the beautiful mountains in the background!!

We saw lots of Bald Eagles...these two were on the mud flats. Alaska doesn't have beaches...just muddy areas where the tide goes out. You don't want to walk along that area because you can sink down and if the tide comes in you can't get out!!

People with small dogs have to keep a watchful eye because the eagles will shatch them up for lunch!

These blue flowers grow wild everywhere...kinda remind me of Texas Bluebonnets.

This was taken at the southern point of Alaska called the Spit

I took this picture out the front window as we drove down the highway.....soooo gorgeous!!

More beautiful views!! Everything is so green, crisp, and clean!! No snakes, fire ants, or killer bees like in Texas....but they do have lots of moose, eagles, and bears!!!

Just breathtaking!! This is looking out over Cook Inlet.

I shot this picture when we stopped for supper while driving south to Homer, Alaska. We camped near there and my DH went Halibut fishing in Cook Inlet.

Thanks a Bunch

Just a quick post....I needed a thank you for a friend and this set was sitting on my counter so I grabbed it along with the fun country style dp. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The picket fence punched border and the clip with the ribbon finish it off.

Now to let you in on a little secret....I am not really home. I am on vacation in Anchorage, Alaska!!!!! I am visiting family and having a great time!!! I hope to get some pictures uploaded soon!!!

Recipe:

Stamps: Best of Cluck

Paper: So Saffron, Black, White, Flair Designs dp

Michelle's fabulous Dream Team is having a cyber birthday party today and they invited me to come and celebrate with them!!!

I made this birthday card for Michelle using the adorable bunny image from Penny Black's Garden Friends set. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. I used a gel pen to add a dot of highlight to the cheeks and the image was cutout with oval Nesties. The crocheted flower was given to my by Broni Holcombe and a Martha Stewart Punch was used for the leaves.



The pink background paper is from Stampin Up and the green paper is called Just Chillin by Making Memories from Stamper's Dream.

I did a little sewing around the background layers and the ribbon and Candy Dots finish it off.

CAS Challenge

Good morning everyone!!! Last week was sooo busy with 3 grandchildren to run after....I am finally taking a deep breath this morning in between washing clothes, dusting, sweeping, and stamping!! Whoohoo...life is good!!

The CAS challenge on Splitcoast this morning is to use paper piecing. I used Rubbernecker's Teatime stamps and some Prism paper and Basic Grey's Wisteria scraps.






The images were all stamped on Prism Simply Smooth White and Wisteria dp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The images stamped on the dp were cutout and attached to the white images with a glue pen.


A square scalloped Nestability was used to emboss around the image like a frame.


The SU Double Rectangle punch was used along the bottom for the ribbon lacing.


It was all I could do to not to add several layers and lots of embellies but since this was a CAS challenge, I restrained myself!!!
