A CASE of Friendship with Shannon

This is for today's FREE 4 ALL CHALLENGE # 69 - A CASE of Friendship where we were to CASE someone from here on SCS that was a good friend well this may sound corny by I am CASEing my BFF who is my oldest daughter. This hobby has been one of the best things we have ever got involved in together. It has been a blessing to me to have this hobby to share with her and certainly has brought us much closer together. I chose to CASE Shannon's I HEART NEVA. I will NEVER forget the Sunday morning that she called screaming in my ear "get up and look at who is FS today!!!!". I was as excited for myself as she was for me. It was a hoot. She made this card for me on my special day. I changed the layout, colors and image but used the same type of girl image. I colored this darling image one day when Shannon was over here and have never found the right time to use it until today. Since she had long ago been FS this is also for FEATURED STAMPER # 85 - It's Frog-Tastic.
The vellum sentiment is for Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 327 - A Vision in Vellum. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 337.
The edge distressing is for Shannon since she is all about edge distressing. Now not only have I made this card but I am also going to be giving it to Shannon just to remind her she is my BEST FRIEND FOREVER!

Santa Emma on a Bench

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 308. Yep, ladies that is right, only 1 challenge today. I think I hurt myself Monday and Tuesday from all of those TLC's, LOL and I needed a little TLC (tender lovin' care) for myself this morning. This sketch was challenge enough for me today. I decided to use this darling image that I colored up Sunday while Shannon was here for some therapy with her best stampin' friend (ME). LOL.
I used GIMP to place my Santa Emma image on the bench then printed and colored with copics. Today I cut her out since my "out of the box" attempt failed. She is popped up on some white cs. Her bangs are also popped up. I used some dp from last years Hobby Lobby Christmas dp stacks. I added some borders to the top and bottom of the red dp.
Now I am off to work for the last day this week. Happy Turkey Day to all tomorrow.

Halloween Brigitta & Hansel

This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER # 190 - Hobbydujour. Congratulations Sallie. I chose to CASE her SUMMER STRAWBERRIES. I loved the layout and so I kept it, I used striped halloween dp, I put the button on the opposite side, I trimmed and embossed my focal image using Nesties Labels 12. I used my Fiskars bat scallopped border punch for Friday's FREE 4 ALL CHALLENGE # 31 - Scallops. I changed the theme to Halloween getting a heads up on my holiday cards for Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 289 - Holiday Head Start. I just bought these digital images from CC Designs, the bench, Halloween Brigitta and Halloween Hansel. I could not wait to color them up. I used GIMP to manipulate them to have these 2 darling trick or treaters sitting on the bench. I love how they turned out. Now my colors were inspired by my brand new Echo Park Happy Halloween dp that Shannon brought over Saturday and shared with me. WE had such a great time coloring together.

Anyway when I saw Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 280 - Let's Move It how could I resist combining it with Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 282 - Tilt Cards? Tell me how could I, me who loves to combine. LOL. Here is a close up of the roses at a tilt. Anyhow, this is also for a couple of this weeks DARE TO GET DIRTY CHALLENGES presented by CINDY_HAFFNER and GBEDWRIGHT. I just bought this fiskars border punch and itching to use decided today was the day. This dp is some Shannon just got and shared with me. I love it when she does that. She is the dp freak and I am the punch freak together we make the perfect team. LOL.
My layout is from today's FRIDAY SKETCHERS SKETCH # 112 and what a fun layout this was to work with. I flipped it to fit my focal image which is Rosalie and Rosalie with roses CC Designs digital images I got from All That Scraps.

DTGD 5 Times with Nurse Nora

This is for all 5 DARE TO GET DIRTY CHALLENGES for Monday presented by SUSAN, BETTY, DENISE, DAWN B, and JEANNE. I just bought a new Martha Stewart border punch and used it tonight on the ruby red strip. I have had this digi stamp and just waiting for the right time to use it. My image was printed on white, colored with copics
E50, E51, E53, G24, G28, R01, R24, Y000, Y00, Y13, Y15, YR24. N1, N3, N5, & N7. I also just bought a large dobber and some Antique Linen ink that I sponged around my main image and my white base to tone down the white so that it matched my DCWV dp. Our hospital where I work used maroon and hunter green for our uniform colors so this will be perfect to give to a fellow co-worker when needed. I am so glad I finally bought that antique linen ink. I love how that looks. Hope you do too and I hope you are a fan club member so you can play along with these challenges. They are addicting and fun.

After I looked back at this and the challenges this morning I realized I left off the strip of gingham ribbon I had laid to the side to go over my ruby red panel. That is what I get for loading this in the middle of the morning. LOL,
