Happy Valentine's Day Dad

I tried using my colored pencils tonight with a little gamsol. I still have a lot to learn with this technique but it was fun and the results passable so I made a card for my Dad for Valentine's Day. I used this sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap:

I am also entering this card in the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #21. Here is the Inspiration Board:

I was inspired by the color red, the hearts and the Valentine theme of the board.

Thanks for stopping in tonight.

Coffee Makes Everything Better

I came across this collection of brightly colored coffee cups in my stash and I just thought to myself....how cute would these look stacked up on a bright happy card? I am so glad that this card turned out just the way I pictured it in my head....my projects do not always do that...you know what I mean? I used this sweet sketch from Kerry Urbatch for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers

Mwah!

My granddaughter loves purple and looks like the little girl in the Pure Innocence stamps from My Favorite Things so when I saw this brand new stamp in the Pure Innocence line I just had to order it. I used this fun MFT sketch for this fun shaker card that will be my granddaughters Valentine's Day card this year.

I am entering this card in the Sketch Challenge #368 at My Favorite Things and the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday Use Something New Challenge.

First Time Beach Bum

My granddaughter Izzy had never seen the ocean or been to the beach until last summer when she was 5 years old. These pictures capture her very first time she felt sand between her toes ar smelled and tasted the salt air. I think she loves the sea now as much as her grandmother! I used this lovely sketch from The Scraproom for my page and am entering it in their

January Jump Start Sketch Challenge

Hello -- Get Well Soon

I have a friend who had surgery last week and I wanted to make her a card that would make her smile. She has a few pet birds as I do so I thought I might water color this Tim Holtz crazy bird and send it off to her tomorrow. I used this fun card sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap:

Sending A Whole Lot of Love Your Way

I love these Pure Innocence little girl stamps from My Favorite Things partially because they remind me of my little granddaughter. I decided to color her up and play along with the sketch this week from My Favorite Things:
