I played almost all weekend.

Well I am having some major issues trying to upload this post so am trying to type it all up again.

I spent all weekend most playing. Dyllon was at his mom’s and my Design Team package finally came from Sugar Nellie it had gotten lost but finally made it so I wanted to get caught up on some of them so used some challenges to get some inspiration.

This first card was really hard for me to do for I made it for a dear friend of mine that just found out she has 2 months to live. She has cancer and had been fighting it for awhile but now the hope is all gone. So this was really hard to use but I used this gorgeous image from Sugar Nellie  she is called Grace and I colored her with my copic’s. Papers are from Cloud 9  I used a sentiment from Lily Of The Valley and the flowers are from Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts with the MS branch punch. I used the sketch over at Fun with Shapes Challenge Blog for there gorgeous sketch and Creative Inspiration for there theme of Plain and Simple.

Now this is one of those darling images from Bildmalarna and I won 2 images from the last challenge I was on cloud nine. I so love these cuties. This is Mimo and I have colored him with my copic’s and have used a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp.  The papers are from MME and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts  I used a swirl bling  and a Maya Road pin on the card also. I used the theme over at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog

Now look at this darling this one is Best Witches from Sugar Nellie from the Simply Sassy collection. I have colored her with my copic’s and have used the sketch over at Basic Grey Challenge Blog  and have used the papers Urban Prairie. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the leaf is from Magnolia. The sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley and flowers are by Prima along with the MS branch punch, ribbon is from my stash.

Now here is a card I made with the sketch over at Create 4 Fun Challenge Blog I also am entering this into the challenge at Color Create for the colors are Red, Brown and Cream, and also for Paper Sundaes Challenge which is to use masculine colors. I used another image from Sugar Nellie from the Simply Sassy collection called Skater Girl. I used papers from Cloud 9 and the sentiment is from High Hopes  and I used some punches from SU for it . Flowers are from Prima and I used a swirl from Bosskut .  I added some Pearl Pen for some bling at the top corner.

Another Simply Sassy from Sugar Nellie she is called Windswept. Here I have used some papers from K and Co  and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts  with the MS branch punch. The sentiment is from Lily Of The Valley and I have used the beautiful sketch over at Friday Sketchers. She has also been colored with my copic’s.

Oh and I am so in love with this adorable Donald from Sugar Nellie. He is from the Home Grown collection and he just makes me want to squeeze him. I have used some papers from K and Co and Donald has been colored with copic’s. I used some ribbon from my stash and a spellbinder die with a High Hopes sentiment.  I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday for this card.

Now for my last project I used one of the new images from Leanne Ellis over at Sugar Nellie and have used an effects technique from Nancy Curry to make a coaster.  I used all kinds of household goods to make this  coaster. I did use some alcohol inks with it and colored the edges with a Gold Leafing Pen that you can see in the next picture and added some felt under it.

Well that is it for me. I do hope this will post this time. I have tried for hours so decided to just try to type it up again. Hope you all had a great weekend and I need to get back to finishing the household chores. Sending you all big hugs (((((((((()))))))))))))

  4. The duck comes in first with Mimo a close second. The colours with Grace are beautiful giving the whole such elegance & the sentiment is truth in reality. The blue flowers with tossa are such a highlight & the image just jumps off the page with those papers. Love how the flowers in his bouquet echo the petals in the base mat. Love that black swirl too. The Sassies are sutterly individual & i love how you've done the tomboyish Skater Girl in Red (for a girl) but the pretty Windswept in blue (for a boy) reversing the colour associations. Donald's umbrealla is wonderful & the papers incredible , love how the yellow of the duck highlights the yellow of that flower in the base layer. He's a stunner. And your coaster is intriguing. Amazing how you can produce all these - you've given such a feast for the eyes.
    Much love

  5. You have been busy! I love Sugar Nellie and I must admit I think I have become a bit boring, because they seem to pop up on my blog all the time! If I spend more money at Funky Kits it will be all your fault, you make them into such beautiful cards.
