Wow I'm Finally Done

I finally finished the Dirty Dares 08’. I had four more cards to complete but had a hard time finishing them because this week has been crazy. First Autumn broke her arm while out side with some friends. So we were at the Orthopedic Doctor on Monday and then Tuesday I had training for work then we had to take her to the hospital so the Doctor could set her arm. This meant that they had to lightly sedate her. He had her sedated so she would not be in to much pain while they set it. She is doing well but has to take some pain killers that make her a little loopy. She has been making me crake -up at some of the crazy things she has said. Also our church is having Bible School this week and I teach the preschoolers. But I really wanted to do all the challenges so I got up this morning and finished them.

Dirty Dozen Challenges!!

I have really gotten into the Dirty Dare 08’ Challenges. In the past two days I have made eight cards for this challenge and that was only for Monday and Tuesday challenges. I have yet to even look at today’s. These challenges have really made me got outside my comfort zone. I used Vellum and water colored oh and I made simple cards using only white cardstock. These are things I rarely do cause they make me a little uncomfortable. I never watercolor I usually color in images with Prima pencils. I really love playing around with vellum and plan to do it more now that I have tried it. I need a lot more practice with water coloring!! And I really like the simple cards using white cardstock. The other challenges where great also making a guy card was fun. I can always use male themed cards. I used the western sets AGAIN cause they just make the best guy cards. The other challenge was to make ribbon your focal point and that was easy for me because I have boat loads of ribbon. Can’t wait to try our the rest of the challenges. I also use Mercy’s Tuesday Sketch and this weeks SC sketch challenge.

Busy Weekend

I love Jen’s site http://iheart2stamp.com/ but I have never tried out her Saturday sketch challenge before. Usually it’s because I don’t get to play much on Saturday’s because we do family stuff and run around town all day. But today we got in kind of early so I got some playing time in and I loved the sketch so I ended up making two cards with it. I also made a gate card for yesterday’s limited supply challenge on SCS. The first card I was going to use Jen’s sketch but I did not like the looks of the pot of flowers turned crooked so this is what I came up with. So as you can see I have been kind of busy today but I have had a lot of fun!!!

Simple Red, White and Blue

These are a couple of simple cards I made today. They are easy to make several of to send to soldiers.

My sister gave me several cards to add to the ones we will be making tonight and the ones I will make in the next couple of weeks before I send them in.

Disney Album

I was in Wal-Mart the other day checking out the clearance in the scrapbook section. I found a plain red linen 12 x 12 for $7.00. I picked it up and as I continued shopping I started looking at this plain red scrapbook and the idea hit me to use my Cricut Mickey font cartridge to decorate it to put this years pages in. I played around with it Wednesday afternoon and came up with this. I used mod podge glue to adhere all the die cuts. I really like the results and my hubby likes the personal touch. I used yo-yo yellow, basic black and whisper white SU card stock.

Thanks for visiting and have a good evening!!!

SC183 Baby Card

I made this baby card for a friend of ours. I wanted to take a try at this weeks sketch challenge on split coast and came up with these two cards. The only differences in the two cards is the way I turned the wasabi piece and I put a piece of whisper white under one wasabi piece. I think I like the first card more because the green is more visible. This is a fun sketch and I will use it again.

Supplies I used:
Baby Firsts and By One and By Twos sets
Wild Wasabi, Whisper White, River Rock SU Card Stock, American Craft and SU DS Paper
Going Grey, Wild Wasabi Ink
SU Wild Wasabi Strip & Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon Oval and Slot punches

Thanks for visiting and have a good evening!!!
