Stay Tuned!

Hello my dear blogging buddies.  Sorry I have not been around the last two days,  my dad is undergoing chemo and radiation therapy, and things have just been crazy!  I may be late posting and skip a day now and then until August when he takes his last treatments, just bear with me!

Stay tuned tomorrow for a sneak peak from Pixie Dust Studio's "Jammin' Out" collection and a "Red White and Blue" challenge.  I'll have a card for both posted on my blog - promise!

Happy Birthday Olivia!

I just had to share a birthday card I made for my oldest granddaughter who just turned 10!  I can hardly believe it!  She is on the way to New York City today with her mom for her birthday present.  Only wish I could be there with them!  Anyway, here is the card I made with "Wings of Hope" by Crissy Armstrong for Whimsy Stamps.  I have had this awesome stamp for some time now and was waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it.  My granddaughter is obsessed with horses and collects everything "horsey"!

I used Cosmo Cricket "DeLovely" design paper because it is just so bright and beautiful!   I added decorative multi-colored ribbon to give the effect of a true carousel.  My carousel horse is colored with Copics:  R11, R43, R83, C00, C1, C7, G14, YG03, Y28, YR21.

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #59

Today I'd like to share with you a card I created to enter the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #59.

Spring Flower Girl

I used the new Basic Gray "Capella" design paper.  I am in love with this new collection!  My image is from Vintage Stampers Freebees.   I thought the "Spring Flower Girl" was the perfect image for this DP.  I lightly highlighted her pink roses with an E000 Copic marker.   I embossed one panel of my DP, sponged with Papertrey Ink's Vintage Touch ink and distressed the edges.  I added pearl dew drops, a ruffled ribbon and Prima flower jewelry to complete my card.

Stamping Sisters In Christ Challenge #44 - Psalm 119:105

I'm posting a card today that I created for the current Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge.  The challenge was to create a card with just a sentiment or a verse without a stamped image ( my butterfly is not stamped, it was included  as a die cut with some of my DP).  I especially need this verse in my heart as I continue my journey with my dad and his cancer treatments.  Without Him, this would be a very difficult time for both of us.

I used this luscious DP from Graphic 45 to showcase my verse from Psalm 119:105.   Pearl dew drops and Prima flower jewelry were added as embellishments.

Sugar Creek Hollow Fabulous Friday

This week the design team was challenged to make a card without any design paper!  Egads!  I chose the vintage balloons Tracy just added to the Sugar Creek Hollow store.  I embossed my SU card stock with a Cuttlebug folder and cut out scallops with my Nestabilities.  I also sprayed some silver "Smooch Spritz" on my embossed circles.

I used crinkle ribbon from SCH and added a vintage tag sentiment.

Pixie Dust Studio Presents - New Moon Twilight Challenge

I was inspired to create a card showing Jacob and his shape-shifter wolf form for this week's challenge.

Now if you don't know the story, Jacob is a member of the Quileute tribe, an ancient line of "shape-shifters" that assume wolf form.  They are vampire's mortal enemies and Jacob undergoes his first transformation into a wolf in response to a new vampire threat.  He becomes busy patrolling the forest with his pack, searching for vampires in the area.

If you are among the throngs that have fallen in love with the  "Twilight" series, then you already know all about the love triangle between  Jacob, Edward and Bella.  Now I wonder how many of you are planning to see the premier of "Ecplise" on June 30th?

Kathy has some fabulous Twilight images created at Pixie Dust Studio.  Please take a look at my team member's creations for more Twilight eye candy!  The Pixies are listed on the right in my sidebar.
