Celebrate -- Baby Shower card

 Another last minute card.  Imagine that!  That's all I have time for it seems.  Tonight I am going to a baby shower for a friend of the family.  I got on the blog http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ and looked at the last sketch which is sketch Mojo 251.  It is the following...

Over at http://www.365cards.blogspot.com/ for yesterday (Saturday, day 150) there is a challenge "I've been framed"  it is to create a frame for the card and embellish 2 corners of that frame.

 

I used my cricut with the serenade cartridge for the frame.  Used 2 different double sided cardstock papers from doodlebug design inc. called cheery o's and alphababies.  I love it when I can use both sides of the papers for coordinating paper, means I don't have to continue to rumage through my stash to find things that match!  The jammies are a stamp that I stamped in the cardstock and fussy cut out.  I also used embroidery floss to attach the buttons (from my stash) and to border around the celebrate stamp.

Mojo 249 -- Happy Anniversary

I am on a roll today, 2 cards in one day!  Mom & Dad's Anniversary is the day after Dad's birthday, so another card was needed. 

I used this sketch from http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/  ...

All materials are from crate paper, portrait collection.  There was a 12x12 sheet of calendar in there.  I cut out the July one and looked up the calendar for that month in 1976 when Mom and Dad got married.  Filled it in, and stamped a small heart on the wedding day.  I did line the outside edge of the calendar with silver marker to make a border.  I also stamped the sentiment, and added the "memorable" tag ( also included in the collection ) tada! 

Happy birthday -- Elk

Wow, I normally don't have time to make cards anymore.  You can tell by how much I post on here! 

Well, dad's birthday is coming up fast and I thought I would go ahead and make his card when I seen the challenge last sunday over at http://365cards.blogspot.com/ day 130.  The challenge was this sketch...

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.
