Vintage Couple

This is for today's SKETCH CHALLENGE which I flipped to fit my image. My color combo is from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Barely Dusty Grays. The stickles on the ladies blouse and hat are for today's CRAFY CREATIONS CHALLENGE - Make The New Year Glitter. My image was stamped in graphite black then colored with copics. I have no idea what the name of this stamp is bc there is no name on the block, just the company. My dp is from Memory Block's Inspiration stack. I heated the ribbon to make it twist. Hope you like it.

It's Your Birthday Horses

Well there are about 20 people coming to my house this afternoon expecting a wonderful dinner and fellowship. We have 4 birthdays in October and the are all on just 2 days, 16th nad 22nd. Weird right?? Anyway I did not have a lot of time to think and scout out challenges so this is just one challenge and it is for today's FEATURED STAMPER - Dancerriley.
I chose her darling GET WELL SOON card to CASE. I changed the colors, theme, and ribbon placement. I used a set I just bought Friday on my shopping adventure with Shannon from Inkadinkadoo called "Horses" and for my sentiment I used SU It's Your birthday. I love this seasons dp from Recollections - Autumn. I made my own background stamp from one I got in the dollar bin. My image and sentiment are stamped in close to cocoa.

Black Marbled Wedding

Well I am home today sick again. As hard as I have tried to not claim it I think I am giving in to allergies or something. So this is what I made today while my fuzzy head swims full of nighttime cold relief. I did all 5 challenges for this week. Today's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - Border Crossing, Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE - Black, Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Real Black Olives, and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Marbles. I used the flower image from Noteworthy on my old olive layer all around the edges even though it is hard to see covered up. I used some red and black polka dot ribbon and silver wedding rings for imbellishments. I am headed back to the couch but I hope everyone has a great day and weekend. Think I am taking the WE off so I can get well.

CASE of a BIRD'S NEST

This is for today's FEATURED STAMPER CHALLENGE - Lazy Liz and Friday's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - TLC meets LSC. I chose to do a single layer card that I seldom do but see quite a few of in the gallery, I also used chaulks to do all of my coloring. This is also for Saturday's INSPIRATION CHALLENGE - Pier 1 catty. I went browsing through all of the pages of the Pier 1 catty and loved the colors on page 12-13 so I used them for my color theme. I chose Liz's ROBIN'S NEST card to CASE. I left off the layers making to make it a single layer card and left off the CB layer and added ribbon. I also used different colors My sweet daughter (e3stamper) picked this up for me on her last visit to our LSS which is 45miles away on a day I was working and could not go -insert pout- but did redeem herself by picking up this bird nest stamp from inkadinkadoo that I have been pondering over for several visits. So today I also honor her for thinking of me. After chaulking the colors in I applied stickles to the eggs, butterfly, flowers nad leaves for shimmer. Congrats to ya Liz. Enjoy your day.

I just loved Denise's dress she made and the one on the challenge as well but mine just did not turn out the same way, sorry Denise & Ashley. I used a different shirt top and made my dp for the skirt with the smaller cupcakes. should have used the smaller ones for the shirt top too. Oh Well. The colors here are pretty in pink, regal rose, taken w/teal, certainly celery and choc chip. I moved one of the photo corners from hers while CASEing her HAPPY 4TH dress card. I also doodled on the photo corners.

Hello Friday, this ATC was made for 4 challenges that include today's LIMITED SUPPLY CHALLENGE - Lunch Notes, Thursday's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE - Be-Jeweled, Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE, and Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Farewell In-Colors. This was fun to do. My card base is white, I used distressed strips cuttlebug emboss folder on soft sky cs, My focal image is a tiny set I bought from Inkadinkado and have never inked up. Bad stamper! The fish was stamped 2 times - once on wild wasabi and once of wild wasabi pattern print paper. The fins were cut out and popped up on dimensionals. I applied some diamond jewels in the bubble part of the image and ranger stardust sticles on the fishing line. I used a purple color sharpe fine point to draw over the hook since we use the red colored hooks when fishing. The sentiment is stamped in purely pomegrante. I will slip this in my dh lunch and he will get such a kick out of it.

Sweet Happy Birthday

Well I had a difficult time deciding on what to do with today's colors but I guess that is why it is called COLOR CHALLENGE. This weeks colors were Vanilla, Choc Chip, and Sage Shadow. I recently received my Inkadinkado Sweet Bithday set with a variety of cupcakes so I thought this was the perfect time to ink'em up. I mean choc and cup cakes do go togethere don't they? LOL.My image was stamped on vanilla with choc chip twice. One was cut in a circle to be matted on Giga Circle scallop choc chip stamped with Gina K circle using Vanilla Craft Ink. I cut just the top part off from the other image applied stickles and popped it up. I used Beate's weekend sketch #49 as my layout. The sentiment is 2 of the ones from Fancy Flexible Phrases which I love especially when I have limited space to work with like on this one. My choc chip panel was embossed using Cuttlebug Birthday folder. I am not sure I like this but I finished it.
