Open-Minded Crafting Fun Challenge #10 - Thanks / Thanksgiving / Thank You

Good morning everyone and Happy 10th of October! Today is the start of the October Challenge #10 at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. This month we would like to see some Thanks, Thank You, even Thanksgiving cards.  We have some amazing sponsors this month.. as we do each month :)  Our sponsors for Challenge #10 are:



Please be sure to visit the fantastic sponsors and show them some love. Where would we be without our wonderful artists? And thank you sponsors for sponsoring with Open-Minded Crafting Fun. We truly appreciate you and all you do for our crafting community.

Wow.. it has been a while since I've been able to craft or post or anything. Working 60+ hours a week will do that to you I guess. I did manage to get this finished this month:








I have used Owl Bet It's Fall from The Stamping Boutique. I printed the image on kraft and conored with my Prismacolor Pencils. I used My Favorite Things die cuts for the shaker part at the bottom, the leaves and the oval around the image. I've added some inking on some parts of the card. Thanks So Much was stamped and then I also added some dew drops. I decorated the inside with additional inking and leaves. Thanks for taking a peak!

Mother's Day Digi Darlas

Good morning everyone! I can't believe tomorrow is Mother's Day!! Today I am going to take my mother to our church. They are having a BBQ Fundraiser this weekend. We are going to go over there and have a nice BBQ plate with everyone. It is going to be a beautiful day to be outside too! It should be fun :) And then tomorrow will be my day to do nothing HAHA! Just what I want! I can hang out and color or do whatever I want! Isn't that what is supposed to happen on Mother's Day? hehehe

That will be the weekend...  a bit of a relaxed weekend I'm hoping. The weekends really do go by too quickly.  What else is going on with everyone?  My oldest, Taylor, finished up her finals this week at University. She will finish up with A's and B's for this semester. She isn't really keen on her Accounting or Finance professors. She took five (5) classes this past semester too. I think it was a bit overwhelming for her. I think she will go down to four (4) classes again as it seemed more manageable. And with Taylor, she wants all A's and it was a lot harder to get that with the extra class. She felt like one class was always getting neglected. Good on her for wanting to do well. I'm really proud of her.

My other two have two more weeks left in High School. They have their End of Course Testing next week and the following week. From what they tell me, everyone is passing everything. That means that Michael will pass math and that is HUGE! But his teacher is making him do the work and he is succeeding. After school is out I'm sending him to his sister for the summer. He says that he wants to come back after summer and finish at Allatoona. With that said, his sister and I have spoken and Michael can graduate on time, the end of next year, if he gets through three math classes. The only way I can see him successfully doing that is with his sister's help. She is a whiz at math and she will be able to help him. I am not able to help him because I can't remember half of that stuff. It has just been too long since I've done any of that. Her and I talked about it and we will see if she can convince him to stay up there and get through his last year. Time will tell :)

Well... that is all the rambling I will do! Here is a Mother's Day card from me:








This is an image from Digi Darla's, who is no longer around. The image is Loving Arms. I've colored this with Copic Markers. I created the wall and floor around the image of the mother and baby on the chair. I've added the little porcelain flowers, some skittles, twine and charm. The Happy Mother's Day is stamped. I've managed to use all scraps for this card. The banner is die cut as are the corners on the inside. I added some additional skittles on the inside as well. I have done a small amount of layering on the image.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Baby Blanket: B000, B00, B01, B02, B04
  • Dress: R000, R20, R22
  • Chair: G03, G09, G19, G29
  • Chair & Floors: E34, E35, E37, E39

My Sister Turns 50!

Good evening everyone!! Tomorrow my sister is turning the BIG 5-0!! I can't believe it!! She is an amazing woman, a great sister, a fantastic aunt and she has been through a lot.

She moved out of the house when I was young. She moved around the US a little bit, living in San Francisco, New York City and Atlanta. She went to college at night while she was working during the day. It took her a lot of years, but she got her degree in Computer Science and she has been in that field since I can remember. She has been employee, manager and Director. She has a house in Atlanta and she travels when she can. She learned to scuba dive last year and now she is enjoying scuba diving trips! She has always been there for me and gotten me out of more jams than I can remember! She has definitely been the successful one. I chose the family and kids route and I go to work and come home. I have never wanted to do more. I want to leave my work at work and then do my thing when I come home. And that is exactly how it works out most of the time :)  My sister is a career woman! My sister is also a survivor! She had breast cancer and fought her way through chemotherapy. Today she is a survivor and amazing! I'm proud to be her sister.

She doesn't read my blog, so I am posting her card here LOL I can't post it on Facebook until after she gets it, because she would see it there!  So here is what I came up with for her big birthday:











I've used an amazing image from Maria Medel Illustrations; this is Catrina and I thought she was going to be perfect for this card! Maria Medel Illustrations sponsored us over at Open-Minded Crafting Fun this month too! Be sure to see those creations :)  Awesome images! I printed her on kraft paper and colored her with my Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils. I used a fun step card cut. I love the edges. I added some additional layer cuts, because I love layers! The oval die cut is from My Favorite Things. The card stock is scraps and the patterned paper is from a Halloween Stack that I have. I've added some a Poppy vine die cut as well. I've added some various flowers, a small gem/rhinestone on the skull at the bottom. I've added a bit of clear Wink of Stella on the image in some spots. There is a small amount of highlights using Copic Opaque White on the mirror and small black dots of puffy paint on the mirror frame. There are some different dew colored dew drops and some cheesecloth in behind the oval die cut. I created the sentiment and printed those out and placed them. I did decorate the inside as well. I just created those additional cuts to layer the inside as well. Then I added the little Rip headstone die cut with a brad on the inside to finish it off. All of this was cut with the Silhouette Cameo.

Cat Loving Mothers

Good morning! And a very happy Tuesday to everyone... although ... I thought it was Wednesday, which means a very long week for me ahead!  I hate that! This should be a pretty busy week too. Bailey has practice all week. They have a game on Thursday, which I need to bring food to feed the team. Then they have a tournament on Saturday. That will end their High School season for lacrosse. But then on Sunday it is right into the club lacrosse as Khaos will start their practices. Will be a busy week and weekend for sure!

Here is another Mother's Day card from me. I was lucky enough to already sell this one! I got it out in the mail yesterday :)








This one is for the cat loving mother :)

Easter Bunny Drawn With Character

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

I'm sharing just another Easter card with you:










This was another unique fold. Another cut from the Silhouette Cameo. I thought it was a pretty fun cut. I always take and make some changes or additions usually, to these cuts. For this one I've added an extra cut to the inside to add a bit. I've done a lot of stitching around the different folds ont his one. I've used some chalk on the pink eggs and the purple to add some detailing to the edges. I've added some diamond glaze on the purple over the egg and the drips of purple on the card. I've added some gens and dew drops as well. You can see the chalk on the larger pink egg on the inside better. The image is from Drawn With Character and I've popped the image a bit. Love that little guy :) He was colored with Copic Markers.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Bunny Fur: C00, C1, C3

Easter Bunny and Chick

Happy Monday everyone!! I hope you have a wonderful day!!  Today will be a busy day for me.. busy at work and then Lacrosse tonight. The JV girls don't play until 7:00 pm, so that means out and home and in bed for me.  :)  Tomorrow Michael has a Dr. Appointment, so at least I can work from home.  Have a great day everyone!

Today I wanted to share another Easter card:








This was a unique fold and I really enjoyed it. The card was a Silhouette Cameo cut and I've changed it up a bit. On the front part of the card it has the grass cut. I cut that with green and added the two different easter eggs that I colored with my Copic markers. I thought the grass blended in really well. The second fold has a cutout that says Easter. I've added some darker pink distress ink around the lettering to make it pop a bit. And I've added the patterned paper behind it. On the third fold it is a cut out easter egg. I've added the gorgeous Wee Stamps image to the back fold -- Easter Bunny. I've colored the image with my Copic Markers and done a bit of layering with the image. I've added some matching bling to the back and some small dew drops to the front and middle folds. And that is it! I hope you like it!

One More Easter

Happy Wednesday! :)  We are halfway through the week! It never seems to go fast enough!! The week drags on and the weekend just flies by! Took Michael to the doctor this morning, took the bike to be dropped off for a recall then it was work work work. Now I'm tired! LOL  Happy day/evening everyone!

Today I'm sharing my third Easter Card with you. Now I have to get busy on some cute Easter Bunny type cards:








For this card I used another cross image that I have no idea who it belongs to. I should have saved a folder with the ones I was using. Although, I think I have them listed at work. I'll have to look. This is another card that I was able to use all scraps. I dug out all of the purple along with my whites and was able to complete this will my scraps! I've distressed the edges of paper, I've inked. The image is colored with my Copic Markers and the dogwood blooms are popped a level. I used an embossing folder on the dark purple paper. A Sentimental Susan image was used for the sentiment. I've used some small dew drops. The flowers at the bottom are all distressed and I've added some purple Stickles. I also used a purple gem for the center.

COPIC MARKERS USED:
  • Flowers: RV32, RV11, RV34
  • Wood: E30, E34, E44, E47
  • Leaves: YG11, YG13, YG17
