Sweet Sunday #55

Can you say bright and cheery?! Lol! I pulled this crazy paper out of my stash specifically because it matched a ribbon for tomorrow's card. This is what I created out of the leftovers.

The layout for this is from Sweet Sunday Challenge #55
It was a fun sketch and I had just enough paper to complete it. This cute image is another RAK from Sparkle. Thought she went perfectly with the whole idea of the card.
Pizza night at The Rock again with the girls. Yummy in my tummy! Lol! ;)
Materials
Stamps: RAK image, CTMH Simple Stitches and Say it in Style
Paper: Scrap dp and cs
Other: Copics, CTMH inks and paper piercer, foam tape, 'Lil Davis ribbon, EK punch

Raise The Bar #4 and a CASE

First things first.....YAY SAINTS!!!!! Who dat?!! I had faith that they could win......but now what will I watch on Sundays? :(

Back again with another challenge card. This one is for the Raise The Bar #4 which asks to use hearts. Since I am so sick of Valentine cards now, I decided to make a more "universal" love card. I can use this for pretty much anything with this sentiment.

The layout is a CASE from my blogging friend Michelle. Check out her simple and elegant card and how she made her flower. I used my Nesties to create my layered flower out of stamped cs and colored vellum. So fun that I made two! I was able to use up some more scrap on these cards too. Yay!


Materials
Stamps: CTMH Playful Flourishes, Say It In Style, and Fringed Phrases
Paper: Scrap dp, cs, and vellum
Other: Nesties, CB folders, CTMH inks, white ribbon and button, EK punches, misc. purple ribbon, chipboard heart, liquid pearls

Gorjussness

As promised yesterday, here's another card I made using the SAME 3 sheets of 6x6 paper used in yersterday's and Thursday's cards. This paper was fun. I took advantage of the words on the one sheet to use as my sentiment. Did that on yesterday's too (did ya notice?). Sorry the lighting is kinda bad. Didn't notice until just now and I'm too lazy to retake it. Lol!

This is my favorite card of the week. I actually waited for my new Nesties to arrive to finish this card since I "visioned" this outcome. Just wondering where those ink smudges came from. :/ Happens when you're happily covered in ink I suppose! ;)

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! GO SAINTS!!

Materials
Stamps: RAK Gorjuss Girl
Paper: RAK KI Memories dp, CTMH cs
Other: Copics, Nestie Label 7, Stickles, foam tape, $1 rhinestones, CTMH ink and marker

Double the Mojo, double the fun!

Here again with some more challenge cards. I used the same paper as my card from Thursday. Trying to get the most out of my paper. So I made not only these two cards, but I also have one to share tomorrow. I think this is the last of my Valentine cards. Getting a little tired of it. I'm feeling like birds and trees and all things "spring-y".

So this card is my take on last week's Mojo Monday #123. I really liked Teresa's sketch and I think I'll definately be using it again. This Gorjuss Girl is super precious. Thanks Amy!


This cute little card follows this week's Mojo #124. Isn't this Hug a Bug too cute?! Nona let me ink him quite a while ago, and I thought he'd be perfect with this paper and good-'ol Valentine's.
Materials
Stamps: RAK Gorjuss Girl and Hug a Bug w/ sentiment
Paper: RAK Ki Memories, CTMH cs
Other: Copics, CTMH ink and ribbon, CM flowers, AC buttons, EK punches, foam tape, Kaiser rhinestones, Heidi Swapp chipboard heart, Stickles

Wild Card MTSC#59


Another challenge card today. This one is for CA&F Wild Card Wednesday which asks for green and purple (one of my fav combos) and follows Mercy's sketch for this weeks MTSC#59. The purple Copics photographed kinda weird....and I kicked myself again for not stamping the sentiment BEFORE I ran the paper through the Cuttlebug. Oh well.

Materials
Stamps: Reeta-TFG, CTMH Fringed Phrases
Paper: DCWV dp, CTMH cs
Other: Copics, CTMH ink, CB folder, Robin's Nest pearls, foam tape, misc. ribbon

I believe in fairies!

Especially super cute ones designed by my blogging friend, Amy! This week she is a guest over at Quixotic Challenges where her Sweet November stamps (which are available HERE) are featured in the "I Believe In Fairies" challenge. All you have to do is incorporate a fairy somewhere in your creation. Since I {heart} Amy's fairy sweets, I decided to use Fidget for my main image. Can't wait to play with the new releases that should be arriving on my doorstep sometime next week!

The sketch for this card is very loosely based on the Sweet Sunday Sketch #54, very loosely. I just bought this MS border punch with my coupon at M's the other day and I love it! Makes a mess though with all those dots.

Materials
Stamps: Tangle Goblinspider-Sweet November Stamps, CTMH Say It In Style
Paper: KI Memories dp, CTMH cs
Other: CTMH ribbon, inks, and paper piercer, Copics, foam tape, CM flowers, AC button, Recollection apoxy stickers, Spica white gel pen.
