Fishing Boats on The Beach

Good Afternoon! today is very cloudy here but no rain yet. First off sorry for my late post. Last night we were lucky enough to go and see the RCMP musical ride. It ended up to be a beautiful night and fun show. Unfortunately the last few days I have been suffering from severe headaches. This is why my post is late and why I should have it done up ahead of time.

I am the hostess this week over at 4 Crafty Chicks and my challenge for you is to make an Masculine card/project.

My card below is for my husband who just loves the water and his birthday next week. I tried to create something different with the layers of the card, I guess kind of like a camera. Not sure if it worked out but I hope he likes it.  The image is from Handmade Habour. The image was colored with Copics. and the embossing folder Argyle from Stampin Up.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Crafty Girls Challenges - Challenge #25 - Anything Goes
Mod Squad Challenges - Coastal Inspiration

Inky Impressions Challenges - Challenge #173 - Anything Goes

Thank you so much stopping by and remember we would love to have you join us this week at 4 Crafty Chicks.

Elephant

Good Morning! Welcome to the first day of June.  I can't believe that May went so fast.  One more month of school and then summer holidays.  Yahooo! Some how I have hurt my back which still is not doing good from the accident but it feels real bad right now, tons of pain.  Hoping it will go away soon.

Onto our new challenge for Cards Galore Encore Challenge. Our Challenge for you for June is to use a Digi or a Stamp.  Our awesome sponsor for this month is called Beccy;s Place. They have given me this awesome image called Elephant.  The sentiment is awesome "Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been".

Keep Calm and Eat Jelly Beans

There is nothing better than having fun with a friend miles apart. Last night I cyber crafted with my friend Leanne.   I challenged her to make a card with a From The Heart Digital Stamps image.  Not sure what one she used but she found it right away.  Be sure to hop on over to her blog and check out her yummy goodness. Me, I kept swooning over all the images for quite a while before I could decide.  Finally I decided to use Full of Beans Birdbrain.  These little guys make me smile...

We then both decided to use the i {heart} card sketches w/a twist.  The twist was to make the card Monochromatic.  I tried but boy girls that was tough.  So bright it was.  Except for how big my sentiment was the sketch was followed to a T :)

For You

Good Morning! Not sure where February went but now that March is here maybe we will be a little closer to Spring....let's hope. It is freezing here in central, Alberta, Canada.  A balmy -38 with wind chills making it feel like -52. Yuck! On to better news. I am excited to share a new DT creation for Cards Galore Encore Challenge with you!  Glamour Eyes are our sponsor for this month. they are offering 5 Digi stamps and a surprise clear stamp. We are on Challenge #3 for the Month of March and we would like to see you Use a Stamp or Digi somewhere on your project. 

My creation this month is a tag that I made to go with an afghan (throw blanket) I am currently crocheting. It was nice to have my mom with me as I was making the tag, helping me get my stuff from around the room.  It was fun, one day we will have to sit down and make a card together.  The bright pattern paper reminds me of spring! I kept the lines crisp and clean and used  a dauber to distress around the edge of the tag. A very clean and simple tag.

Recipe:

Stamp: Punch Bunch (Stampin Up)

Ink: Concord Grape 

Markers: Stampin Up - Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo

Paper: Whisper White, Concord Grape and Paper Flower Box Doodlebug Designs Inc.

Bling It Up!

Good Morning! I am excited to show case Scrapper's Delights for Cards Galore Encore Challenge!  They are our sponsor for the month of February and they so generously provided each of us with an image to use. Thank you it was a pleasure to color up :)

Our Challenge #2 for the Month of February is to Bling It Up (gem/glitter). The winner will receive 3 digis of choice from Scrappers Delights store.

My image for this card is called Rose Petal Digi Stamp 3.  I just think she is so adorable. She reminds me a little of  Tinker Bell. I can't wait to color the petal in different colors.  For my bling I decided to use Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the petals but just couldn't leave out the pearls.
