I created this card:

 

 Occasionally I view Pinterest for ideas and this quilted background popped out at me.  I thought I would give it a try using this image from the store at Scrapping with Lisa Designs .

I printed and cut the image using my Silhouette Cameo and Studio Design Edition software, colored the image using my old, almost dried out Stampin! Up markers.  Layered all onto a red cardstock

The Sun was placed on a Action Wobble so it can shake or wobble.

No Peeking

Here here is my Saturday posting for Sunsational Stamps and I used the image No Peeking for my card today.

 

I found the idea of the card layout while searching Pinterest and thought this would be a cool card.  The design paper is Christmas wrapping paper purchased at the local Dollar Tree which replaced the sentiment/title "No Peeking".

I used my copic markers for coloring the image, along with Wink by Stella glitter pens for the dots and ribbon on the lid.  I placed the wrapping paper on red cardstock and than used foam tape to glue to the main card.

Thank you for stopping by, and hope you all survived Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday.  Blessings to all and have a safe holiday weekend.

Jingle Bells

Good morning, today is another gloomy, rainy day - one to stay in and work on scrapbooks for the grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

Here is my DT project for Sunsational Stamps, using Jingle Balls Snowballs

Cardbase/set used from a Silhouette Studio file I have saved in the library, and retweaked it for my card.  I used Prismacolour markers for all of the Snowballs except for the nose which is Copic marker.  The ribbon bow, bells, and title colored in with my Wink of Stella glitter pens.  Stamped some falling snowflakes and now I have a Christmas card finished.

Here is the photo from the store:

that can be purchased at Scrapping With Lisa Designs.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with us today, and have a blessed day wherever you're at.

Have a Smurfy Thanksgiving

While I was coloring the Pilgrim Woman for last week's blog posting, I thought to myself, she would make a great Smurfite so I colored her blue, placed on Smurf background paper I found on a Internet search and created this card.

 

Pilgrim Woman

as Smurfite

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me; and have a blessed day; and be safe on Halloween.

Too Cute To Eat Thanksgiving Card

 

Too Cute To Eat

using white card stock for the base, and mats from Washi green from Stampin! Up and the striped design paper from a paper pad from Walmart.

Used prismacolour markers to color the Turkey, and placed on a shaped mat cut out using my Silhouette Studio DE software.  The black dots I created using my square measuring tool.

Here is the image from Sunsational Stamps

Happy Haunting Layout

Wow it's October already and in some areas, trees turning beautiful colors, and the hot temperatures being replaced with cool temps (my kind of weather!)

Using Happy Hauntings with a Mummy title from  Scrapping with Lisa Designs and Sunsational Stamps I created this Fall/Halloween layout.

 

A traditional 12x12 layout that I created using a layout from the Silhouette Studio DE Library (I purchased from the SilhouetteAmerica Design Store) and placed the Happy Hauntings with a Mummy title at bottom of page.  A nice page to go into a scrapbook for on of my great grandkids album for 2015.  

Thank you for visiting with me today; and take a moment and visit Sunsational Stamps blog for more inspiration from fellow DT members.

 

A Bushel of Birthday Wishes

Using Apple Girl jpeg image from Sunsational Stamps

I created this pop-up birthday card....

 

Front

I print and cut the front of this card using the girl holding an apple from the jpeg image set.  The apple tree was printed in color, and I colored the girl with my Prismacolour markers.  Grass is from the Silhouette Studio DE Library.  I scalloped a piece of red cardstock and placed on the edge (to cover some ink stains from my fingers!!)

Inside

I printed and cut the basket and the wordart "A Bushel of Birthday Wishes for the inside, colored the basket with apples with my Prismacolour markers and placed on a pop-out tab.  Apples from Make the Cut Library that I cut out with my SCAL3 software.  Highlighted with a white gen pen.

Thank you for stopping by to visit with me and head on over to Sunsational Stamps Blog for a look see at design team members creations 

Here is the stamp from Sunsational Stamps that I used:

Apple Girl 2

And this is how I used the above image for my layout, using  apple girl 2 pattern from Sunsational Stamps available in 3x4 size photopolymer stamp set.   I used Annfold font from my font directory in Make the Cut software and created the September title.  Coloring of Apple Girl done in paint.net software.

Hot Diggity Dog - It's Your Birthday

From this image

 

#262 Dog

I created this birthday card:

Using copic markers, I colored the Dog in shades of brown, and eyes with blue from Stampin! Up; and the nose with Black Distressed Marker and than applied glossy accents to his nose for a wet look.  The sentiment from Internet/Google search and applied flat buttons/beads to the corners of the mat, sentiment tag and card corner.

 

I first print and cut the card base with my Silhouette Studio DE.  Actually the sentiment (front and inside go together, I just ungrouped it in my software so I can print separately.)

Thank you for visiting with me today, and happy crafting this last weekend of May.

Family

Good morning and hope your Saturday will be a great one for you...

Today's posting is a Mini-photo/Journal Album I am creating for my granddaughter and family and utilized the image from Scrapping With Lisa Designs

 

And here is my project:

 Family

Basically this will be a Journal/Photo Album of the great-grandkids.  I've included a baby from another file in this project as my granddaughter is expecting a baby girl on July 4, 2015.  Don't want to leave out the baby.  

The edges of front cover not covered (not sure I will cover it with washi tape or paper) because I have not completed the inside of the cover.  The pages will include birth, birthdays, holidays and there will be pages or tags for journaling.  

Cardstock and design paper from my Stampin! Up stash, the hearts came with a card kit and ribbon a gift from a friend in Canada.  I used Prismacolours and Bic Markers for coloring along with one Copic marker for the skin coloring.  It will be bound using The Cinch from We R Memory Keepers.

Thank you for taking time to visit with me and may you have a blessed day.

Girl With Dandelions Center Step Card - Mother's Day Card

 

Girl with Dandelions #137

Sunsational Stamps

Supplies used:

1. Card base from Silhouette Design Store which I retweaked by using a die to cut the die cut from the back of the center step card. (viewed a video on youtube.com on how to create this technique.)
2. Design paper from my stash of paper
3. Happy Mother's Day was stamped (using my new tool MISTI stamping alignment tool), than scanned into Silhouette Studio DE and created the back shadow.  Print and cut the sentiment and cut out 2 poster board back shadows and foam taped below the Girl with a Dandelion.
4. Card base could actually be heavier card stock but once I got started I just kept right on.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and hope you have a happy crafting weekend where the sun is shining and no rain falling.
