Hello Everyone!

I am so happy to at last be back after a few months away...I lost my Mojo there for a while, but, I have FINALLY found it again! 

This card theme is from Sunday's "Songs & Rhymes" at the Outlawz Challenge. We were inspired to create a card using the rhyme from Hickory, Dickory, Dock. Since this is my first card in months I went kind of simple to get me back in the swing of things.

* Started with plain red cardstock for the base.

* I downloaded the star pattern paper off the internet. I dotted the star points with a Gelly Rol glitter pen in silver.

* The image I found on the Internet and "borrowed" it. I doctored it up a bit with the silver glitter pen. I used it on mouse's nose & eyes and on the clocks dashes where the numbers are missing.

* The sun is a metal brad on which I also used the silver glitter pen to go over the mouth and eyes.

* The ribbon at the bottom is from my Ribbon Scraps box. It "represents" the moon.

Teapot House

The sketch I used on this card is by Julee Tillman from the monthly challenge at

Viva la Verve

 

* Papers - All cardstock is from the DCWV "French Country" stack. Love this stack it has very pretty glittery patterns in it. The center square's dots all have gold glitter on them.

* Pink Doily - These are made of 100% polyester (they do feel sort of like felt, but not so heavy)  and come in a four-pack of assorted shades of pinks by Studio 18. The pack is called "Summer - La Ti Da".

* Teapot Image - Is an internet image download. I used Tsukineko Memento Dew Drop dye ink in the color "New Sprout" to color in the background of the image, since I downloaded the image on white cardstock.

* Small Scalloped Circles - These two circles were cut using my Cricut Explore. The cuts are from the  "Gypsy Wonderings" cartridge.

* Strip and Small Circle Embossing - Used my Cuttlebug to emboss with the"Floral Basket" envelope by Darice.

* Heart - Is a heart-shaped button from my Button Jar.

This card is inspired by the sketch this week at

Feeling Sketchy

I am attending a Craft Show next week-end and I realized I was getting low on Get Well cards. Here is the first I will be making this week-end and coming week in order to replenish my supply.

* Papers - All from my scrap box.

* Embossing - Cuttlebug "Leafy Branches" folder.

* Frame - Is a Spellbinders die cut. I matted the frame to chipboard for depth.

* Flower -Store bought, I layered two and added a pearl center.

* Strip - Border punch from Michael's by "Recollections" brand

* Sentiment - I printed out on my computer and matted to purple cardstock.

Male Encoragement

I created this card for the challenge this week at

The Male Room

 

Ok, I am no water coloring expert, or even beginner for that matter, but I have attempted one water coloring card in 5+ yrs. of card making and with not much success. So, this week at The Male Room we are to create, yep... a water coloring card! I have decided to use water color pencils instead on my card...hope it counts!!

At first, as I was getting ready to use pink for the flowers and ribbon I remembered... OOPS!!...this is for The Male Room challenge. I though to myself...unfortunately males get cancer, too. My husband having gone through treatment for prostrate cancer, I went online and looked up the color ribbon for it. The color ribbon for prostrate cancer is light blue.

Here is the end result:

* Pattern Paper - I matted this blue pattern paper to dark brown cardstock. Punched the corners with an old McGill Creativity corner punch.

* Image - Digi from A Day for Daisies, called "Ribbon Tree". I used Prang water color pencils to color it in. Not noticeable on here , but I used a Gelly Roll pen in silver on the flower centers.

* Frame - Is a metal die Spellbinder. I added silver brads to the ends. 

* Sentiment -  I found it on the internet and printed out on the computer... "Live each day with wings of faith and roots of hope". The sentiment did not have a name to give credit to.
