Zoo

Over at www.dustinpike.blogspot.com for March 12 there is a challenge "My life is a zoo." A friend of mine is always posting things that her youngest 2 sons are doing, climbing on dressers, pulled all the piano music books out and scatter throughout the room, etc. I thought this would be perfect for her. Also over at www.365cards.blogspot.com day 11 (sunday sketch). This card was inspired by this sketch as well. Notice the 2 keys on the fiber as well? I thought they were cute. The sentiment says "Feel like you're holding the keys to the zoo?"

March 17

Over at http://dustinpike.blogspot.com the challenge is to use one of Dustin's images and add "bling" to your card. Well I have absolutely no time for any card challenges, however, I did make time for this one. I used one of his images (already colored) and added layers. For the bling I used a sakura star dust pen and added this sparkle to his buckles and buttons. The gold colored paper is also a pearlized sheet, so it has a bit of sparkle to it as well.

Birthday Cheers

This is for a brother-in-law. His birthday is today, nothing like doing stuff last minute :D. The birthday beer mug is from Di's Digi Downloads. The Birthday Cheers sentiment also came in the package, however, I used the sentiment "words" in my own way. The mug is colored with my copics, I used a white glitter, course (looks like snow) for the foam and the bubbles. I am submitting this for day 309 "pretty pairs" green and stripes, however, it also fits the sunday sketch. I also used a kraft card base and the designer paper is Basic Grey. I cut out circles from the olive colored paper and placed half under the rectangle striped paper. I also sewn around the edges of the striped paper. "Birthday" is a stamp that is embossed in white. "Cheers" is the alpha stickers in the same Basic Grey pack.

Birthday

This I am submitting to http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/ for day 258 Super Sketchy Sunday. It is not a exact replica of the sketch but definately was inspired by it.

Happy Fall

Another great "therapy" card. I had so much fun coloring it all in. There is only 3 different colors but I used 2 different shades for each color for the high lights and low lights. Then added white gel pen for shiny lightest area on the pumpkins (totally lost the words while typing this, I'm sure you all get the point). I used 3 different pattern papers, layered them up. Grabbed some grungeboard and smeared ink on it. Added a rub on "happy" and used alpha letters for "fall" added some brads to hold it on the paper. Then I added a rub on leaf stem for a final touch sticking out from under the grungeboard. Because of this fact I am able to add it to a challenge on 365cards Day 246 peekaboo. Thanks for looking.

Tinkerbell birthday

I am running behind of sorts. My nieces birthday party was last weekend. My family was unable to make it because of sport activities of our kids. So tomorrow I'm seeing them and needed a card for her present. See I'm loads behind. Her birthday party was tinkerbell themed so I grabbed a coloring book image off the internet, shrunk it and colored it in. I did have loads of fun on this part. I flocked her dress green and her shoes and flocked white on the pom pom on her shoes. I took a stardust pen and colored in her wings. I then glittered the pixie dust with perot colored glitter. I then added the "2" in a heart punch and framed it with another heart punch. Just so I could add it for a challenge.

This is getting enter at 365 cards for day 217 I've been framed. Frame something with something other than a circle/oval or a square/rectangle.

Your Sew Lovely

You cant tell in the picture of the flowers but I put gold spritz on the flower petals, then assembled the flowers.

This card is for my grandmother-in-law for her 81st birthday that will be this coming Thursday. Hopefully she will enjoy it.

I am submitting this card for www.365cards.blogspot.com day 172 vintage + green.
