Hello everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying your Saturday!! I took two of my Grandkiddos to Vacation Bible School this morning and then ran home to scrub the kitchen floor and upload cards. Today is my DH's birthday so later today we will go to Roundrock and take family out to Olive Garden...yummmm!!! George shares a birthday with out DIL and our SIL has a birthday at the end of the month so we are going to celebrate them all today!! Anyway....
This is the card I made my DH....he is a fisherman and loves the water so I thought CHF's SOTM image would be perfect!! It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. A Papertrey Ink sentiment was used at the top, Stampin Up dp, May Arts Ribbon, and brads finish it off.
This is the card I made for today's Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast. Stef picked a site called Heavenly Hostess
which is full of aprons. I remember my Mom wearing an apron when she cooked *in the olden days*..heehee
I did use the cupcake apron as inspiration but I had to change up the colors a little to accomodate the sparklie cupcake image (I think it's Papertrey Ink) that my DD gave me. She brought me some images she had stamped and glittered....thanks, Holly!! I had to add the scallop at the bottom because it reminded me of a little apron on my card.
Recipe:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Red, Vanilla, Stampin Up dp, Bella Blvd. dp,
Ink: none
Accessories: Nestabilities, Ribbon, MS Punch, Gold Brads
I made this card yesterday for the Limited Supply challenge on Splitcoast. We were to use only die cuts as the focal point and the only stamps were sentiments.
The bird dies and sentiment are both from Stampin Up. A black rhinestone flourish and the black pearls for eyes are the only embellies.... can't believe I didn't add ribbon...yikes!! This also qualifies for 4 DTGD challenges: DTGD09StamperSharon to use red, white, and black, DTGD09Becca_Stamps to use die cuts and punches, DTGD09debdeb - moved by the music, and DTGD09eggette to use wings
Recipe:
Stamps: Oval All
Paper: Real Red, The Paper Studio dp, White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red
Accessories: Black Pearls, Black Rhinestone Flourish, Stampin Up punches, Nestabilities, Stampin Up Birds and Blooms Dies, Cuttlebug, Dotted Swiss Folder
Thanks for coming to visit today....gotta run pick kids up and get ready for tonight....have a wonderful day!!!
