Sketch Saturday

As always they have a wonderful sketch for us this week and I really enjoyed doing this one but hey I love them all lol.I used some of the new Magnolia's that a dear friend sent me I colored them with my copic's and spica glitter pens and I did use my glazed pens in a few places. I cut the images out and mounted them on a piece of SU cardstock that I had ran through the cuttlebug embossing folder. The PP is from K&Co aren't they gorgeous?? I so love there papers. I have used the Martha Stewart lace border punch and the easter stamp is one of the G stamps. I also punched out some daisies with one of the punches I had and really not for sure the brand of the punch.

***********************************************************************************
The Sugar Bowl

Over at the Sugar Bowl the theme is to make a Mothers Day card. This was really hard for me since my Mother is no longer with me just brought back times I remembered so well but I made the card for my granddaughter to give to her mommy for Mother's Day. We won't have ours here in the states for awhile. I used one of the gorjuss girls I just think these are the cutest stamps and so easy to color in. She is colored in with my copics and spica glitter pens. I used some BG and K&CO paper here and some raffia ribbon that a very dear friend sent me. SOme prima flowers with a brad and spacer in the center with some leaf and branch punches. I hadded a SU button in the one corner and the punches for the wording is also from SU. The wording is computer generated.

Gorjuss Girl!!!!!!

Oh I am just loving these Gorjuss Girls!!!! They are just so adorable and so easy to color in.

Here I have used part of one of the images. I used my nestabilites to cut the circle out and my gorjuss girl from Sugar Nellie's has been colored with my copic's and spica glitter pens. I have made an acrylic post it note holder here with my bind it all. The papers are from BG and I used some raffia ribbon I got from one of my dear friends(Thank you) I added a prima flower with some branch and leave punches, and a brad and spacer in the center of the flower. The very front of this is the acrylic cover and then under that is the chipboard cover.

Here is a little better picture where you can see the acrylic folder on the left and my chipboard cover on the right.

The inside here I have added a verse and not for sure what stamp company that is from. But then you can see the post it note here too along with the back acrylic cover. I made this for the Gorjuss Challenge Sugar Nellie is having and what a grand prize for the winner Oh La La!!!!!

Happy 50th!!!!!!!

Well we are having such wonderful spring weather today that after I got all the house work done inside I went outside and cleaned my blazer out and cleaned the porch etc off. I am so ready for spring to stay that is for sure. But while I was outside my neighbor man came over and told me today was his 50th anniversary with his wife Nancy!!!!! They are just the sweetest neighbors anyone could have. He was getting ready to take her out someplace really nice to eat. He said he wished he would of had me make him a card for her. Well I told him I would get it done while they were gone so here it is!!! This is a fast one but I think it turned out great and that Nancy will love it. I have used this image I had been saving from one of my friends it is a Hanglar image. I colored it in with my copic's and used my SU paper and some prima flowers with brads and spacers. The branch and leaves are punches. I used the cute sketch that they had at Mojo Monday this week I just had to give it a try. Well thanks so much for stopping by today, I so appreciate it and hope you all are having a wonderful spring day also. Hugs

Have A Gorjuss Day

Hello!!! Not been around for a few days and hadn't done any crafting but today decided I needed to do that, just to relax and get unstressed. That is what stamping does for me it relaxes me and I am no one with an important name I am just here with my blog to have fun. I have met a lot of nice people in the blog world and have become very dear friends with many BUT I also met some that aren't so nice and I almost let this stop me from having fun and enjoying myself. But after a lot of thinking and stressful days, I decided to come back make a card and you know what I loved it. But for you my friends that leave me nice comments etc I so appreciate it and thank you. Okay enough venting now!!!!! Onto my card !
This is just one of the gorgeous images I got in the mail Saturday and just had to make a card with one of them. This is one of the new GORJUSS GIRLS from Sugar Nellie. I used my copic's and spica glitter pens to color in this gorjuss girl! My papers are from SU and my wording is computer generated. I used the fiskars threading water border punch and added some flat pearls on the bottom. I made my card very simple and really enjoyed making it simple.
Thanks for stopping bye today and sorry you had to listen to a vent (if you made it this far) Hugs
