Another Canvas

I made this for the Simon Says Stamp on Anything but Plain Paper. Here, I've stamped on a canvas... :-) I just love the Julie Nutting dolls! I could make a million of these, but then what would I do with them all! I have hung three of them in my craft room already and gave this one away to Mitchell's ex-girlfriend who we still wish well!! :-)

Thanks for visiting. Hope your weekend starts off great!!!!

What's that? Another Canvas?

I made another canvas to enter into Simon Says Show Anything Goes. I used some Faber Castell gelatos that I won from them a long time ago as well as some distress paint and stamps! 

Thanks for looking! I'll have more soon!

You and Me - Senior Photos

I made this for Scrapfit's Sketch Workout #69. Do you think the final layout should have the heart ribbon (#2) or not (#1)?  I'll go with the majority of the crowd!! I also entered this in my friend Stacy's challenge and Simon Says Anything Goes!.

Thanks for visiting! If you leave me a comment, I'll do my best to get around to you! I have been so busy, I'm surprised I found time to scrap!!! :-) 

Thanks for looking!

Merry Christmas - Crafter's Companion Style

I made this little card using Card Patterns Sketch 141 with a Humphrey's Corner Collection - Birthday Girl stamp from Crafter's Companion.  I decided to use her in this Christmas card.  It fits, too! I colored her with some of the Copics my friend Stacy sent me as well as some CTMH watercolor pencils.  I used the CTMH Art Philosopy Cricut Cartridge which I embossed as well as a Jolee's star and some red Colorbok decorations my friend Lural gave me!  I am "teaching" her some things about card making, and she so kindly brought me some embellishments to return the favor. I think I have her addicted to card making now!!!!

Anyway, I am entering the card in Crafter's Companion challenge as well as Simon Says Stamp challenge and Frosted Designs: Fabulous Friday Embossing Challenge.

Thanks for visiting! If you leave me a message, I'll know you stopped by (I'll come see you, too!)!

Kraft, Pink and White - Day 3 of Artful Delight's Birthday Celebration!

Well, it is  Day 3 of Artful Delight's Birthday Celebration!  For this challenge, you were to make a project with Kraft, Pink and White!  So, I whipped up a quick little butterfly card.  I left the inside blank so I could use it for a birthday card or a thank you card! It could also be a "cheer you up" card!

I had fun making projects for the birthday celebration!!

Thanks for visiting!

My Sister, My Friend

Here is my twin sister in various moods at the Heard Museum in Phoenix earlier this summer.  I was really excited this morning when I found this sketch by Sketchy Thursdays and the combined "friend" challenge at Scrapfit!!!! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get lucky this week! I play these two challenges all of the time and haven't won a prize on either challenge--now, mind you, I have been very lucky all over blog-land winning prizes, and I am not complaining!  I just love the prizes being offered this time! :-)  My friend Stacy wanted tickets on a layout, too. They represent "ticket to fun" to me.  I've won many of Stacy's challenges, so I play for fun (though I still win a lot) there and hope more of you will play along so she can send prizes out to as many different people as possible!!! She's such a gracious and friendly host!  I did a little spritzing on the layout which is hard to see in the photo but looks pretty good in person!  I'd been hoarding the multi-colored clouds for a while as the company who makes them is no longer in business to my understanding.

Thanks so much for visiting! I won't be posting much in the next few days!!!!

Early 1970s - What a Hoot! and some really cute buttons

                                                       

I found this cute sketch at My Scraps and More and thought of this old photo of my twin sister, little (now 6' 3") brother and me.  I kind of added some pinks and blues and some very masculine elements along with some very feminine ones. Simple, but I like it...

Also, I was thrilled when Ursula Luserke custom made these darling buttons and sent them to me from Germany! She has quite the knack for making these!
