A Card for Fall

I made this card as part of the ongoing image challenge at Delightful Inspirations. By joining in this challenge I am getting free digi stamps and practice playing with the copics. I have also entered it into a sketch challenge at Fairy Fun Fridays. I was kinda stumped as what to do with the digi stamp image when I first saw it but after seeing the sketch it started coming together. I don't normally use a lot of prints on the same project so this was stepping a little out of the box for me. The flower sentiment was made from a print on the paper I used. I cut out the flower and attached the sentiment in the center. Thanks for stopping by Yvonne

Girl Time

This was made for a sketch challenge over at Sketches In Thyme It is one of their own original sketches and it really drew me in. The picture I chose to use is one of my mother and me when I was about 10. A day of curlers and beauty secrets passed down from mother to daughter.  After all these years its not the beauty secrets that I remember but the closeness that I felt with my mother.

My First Time Using Copic Markers

I had bought a set of Copic Markers a while ago but had never gotten around to using them. Then today I stumbled across a challenge at Delightful Inspiration where on the first challenge of the month, they give you a freebie digi stamp to use for the challenge. When you enter the challenge you are then given the next digi stamp to use for the next challenge. So everybody who enters their challenges are winners because you get free digi stamps!!! Free is ALWAYS good! But don't worry if you miss the first challenge of the month for that first freebie you can always purchase the stamp for the current challenge for a very low price. You need to stop by and check them out and get all the details straight from them. This was such a cute stamp and fun to work with. I found that it also fit perfectly with the challenge going on over at Scrapmasters Paradise which is a color combo challenge. They don't require you to have/use the exact product but you must try to get as close to the color combo swatch as possible. The 3 required colors on this card are Copics BG09  which I used for the petals of the flower on the mouses' head. Copics RV29 which I used for the mouses' dress. The last color was Copics E25 which I do not have so I used another marker that I hope matches up close enough to the color they wanted for the cupcake wrapper. And the colors I think went great here. I have a lot to learn as far as coloring techniques with the Copics. I have zero skills here. I need to watch a few dozen tutorials on how to add shading and dimension which hopefully won't require a lot of natural artistic talent. The  last challenge that I entered this into was over at Sweet Stamps. They wanted 'bling' this week and the sprinkles on this cupcake fit it to a tee. You get an extra entry into the weekly drawing if you use a stamp from them. I haven't gotten mine yet but I plan to. Thanks for stopping by and looking.

Through The Years

I made this LO showing my Mother as she grew up. The paper and design is mostly from a monthly scrap club called Club Scrap. I altered it from the original design by adding the journalling square with the brads and I added the flowers. In the end I really liked how it turned out.

ALL BLINGED UP Card for my Niece

I made this card for my niece who is into all that frilly, girly stuff that we love so much about little girls.  It is pretty simple but I think she will like it. It was also perfect to enter into the ALL BLINGED UP challenge over at http://scrapaddictsattic.blogspot.com/  Thanks for stopping by Have a great, crafty day

I used a die cut cardpad from K&Company for the card base, the crown came from A Childs Year cartridge for my cricut, the letters are  made by Recollections from Michaels and all the bling came from my stash of leftovers from other projects.

Memory Box Photo Holder

This is a box that I originally made to put 4x6 brag books in to give as gifts. I found that I could  put 5x7 photos easily in it so now I have one for photos waiting to be scrapbooked. I also made some to hold the cards I made. I can keep they separated by theme birthday, anniversary, baby etc each one made with papers that are for that theme.
