Game On

..(or actually, "game off").....Kara is now finished with her first soccer season so I made this for her coach to thank him for being so encouraging and fun (as it should be for a bunch of 7-year-olds).  She really liked having him as her coach and already asked if he'll be her coach in the fall (that'd be cool if he was).



The stamp is by Penny Black (called "Game On"), the layout is the June Sketch For You To Try, both clouds are up on foam tape, both stars are up on foam tape, the main image is also up on foam tape, and I added some machine stitching around the edges and along the "hill."  The burgundy paper used for the stars is Apple Cider by Imaginisce.  The white wood and green polka dot papers are from my On The Bright Side-Two paper pad by My Mind's Eye. Those are some funky shoes, huh?....well, I wanted to do the school colors of burgundy and gold. :)

Copics used:  YG11, YG13, YG17, BG0000, BG10, BG11, R20, R46, R59, YR000, YR00, YR15, YR21, E41, E42, E43, W1, W5, 0.



Tomorrow is Kara's last day of school so I'm enjoying my last QUIET day of having the house to myself....so on that note, I think I'll see what other crafy challenges I can play along in....fun!  Have a good one!

Bright sunshiny day

Wow....check me out....a whole 7 days of posts....in a ROW!!  Posting often like I USED to do when I first started this blog.  :)  Feels good to be crafting a lot again.

I made this card for the May SFYTT as well as this week's Play Date Cafe color challenge.  Two butterflies were cut with my Verve Flutterby die and popped up on foam tape.  There's no stamping on this card (gasp!...right?)....just a mix of the Flutterby die with Summer Fresh (Simple Stories) and Glory (Authentique) patterned papers.  The sentiment is part of the Summer Fresh 6x6 paper pad, and that panel is also up on foam tape.

Here are pics of the PDC color challenge and the May SFYTT.  Have a reeeeeeally great day!

Fairy Sweet Day

Hi all. Kara's soccer game was SOOOOO much fun on Saturday. She impressed us so much. At her two practices last week, she had fun but she wasn't being real "aggressive" with the ball. Well, oh my word, she surprised the heck out of us on Saturday and was an AWESOME defensive player. She has never played soccer before so we were so proud of her for doing so well and she had tons of fun. :)

Yesterday morning I made this card with one of my new Wryn images. This one is called Fairy Wishes. Cute, huh?



The cool layout is Jen del Muro's SFYTT for April. I added Stickles to Wryn's wings for sparkle and she's colored with Copics (E00, E11, E13, E27, E31, E35, E51, W1, W3, W5, G21, G24, G28, G40, B0000, B00, B02, Y00, Y11, Y15, R20, R22, R24). Papers are Thrift Shop by October Afternoon. The three small stars at the top are up on foam tape and the large red star is doubled up on foam tape. Here's a close-up...



Alrighty......I'm off to the dentist for my 6-month check-up and cleaning. Do.not.feel.like.going.....

Have a GREAT day!

Aww thanks!

Ahhhh, I'm lovin' today. It's been so productive! I went for a run, we had half of our furniture delivered (we have to wait 6-8 weeks for the rest....ugh, patience is not my thing), I banged out my work, did a 12-minute sculpting workout, AND made this card....



As soon as I saw this image, I had to have it! It's one of the Lilli Claire images from Tiddly Inks and it's called "Aww Thanks." She was fun to color! The layout is the March Sketch For You To Try, the sentiment was made on the computer with the Pristina font and it's up on foam tape, Stickles were added to the bouquet of flowers, and I added some machine stitching.

Looking forward to this weekend! I don't want to jinx anything, but I'm going out to breakfast tomorrow with Carol Longacre.....as long as Mother Nature cooperates. She has ruined our last TWO breakfasts with snow so I hope she behaves herself tomorrow. :)

What are you up to this weekend?
