Sparkle & Shine On a Sketch

Pile It On has a fantastic challenge for us this week; Challenge #17 - Sparkle & Shine. Here are the rules: Combine Pile It On's challenge with atleast one more current challenge (at the time of their posting) and link it to their blog by Saturday evening. It can be a card, scrapbook page, altered item, etc. Easy peasy! Who doesn't love adding Sparkle & Shine to their creations lol? I know I do! The Pile It On design team have posted their stunning creations on the blog for your viewing enjoyment. 
In addition to this week's challenge at Pile It On, my card today was made using the fabulous inspiration of Dawney's sketch. That is this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge. One of the product designers being showcased this week is Martha Stewart so I used one of her punches on my project too. The design team has some awesome creations for you to look at so be sure you have a peek.

Here is my take on Dawney's lovely sketch. I had so much fun making this card. 


Here is my card laying flat, ready for giving.

My monthly kit, "Graceful" from Created With Paper arrived last week and I couldn't wait to make something with it. I love the fabulous colours in the So Sophie papers from My Minds Eye. I used another Sarah Kay stamp, Isabelle with Puppy Coco, which I stamped with Momento Ink. I coloured my image with Copics using B21, B34, C1, C3, C5, E000, E23, E29, E33, R000, R01, RV25, RV29, Y06, YG63 & a Blender Pen. The flowers and rhinestones are from Prima and the ribbon is from my stash. For the lacy trim around the outside of my card, I used the Martha Stewart border punch, Doily Lace Trim. I have left the sentiment off when taking my pictures because I wouldn't want the recipient to see their card ahead of time if they happen to look at this post.
Well, I have a few things to get done this afternoon, so I am going to get my card linked up and get off this laptop. Catch you all later, and thanks for stopping by to visit.

Popping, Inking & a New Challenge Blog

Good Morning Bloggers!
I have finally recovered fom my neck surgery just enough to browse the web a bit; yay! While doing this, I stumbled upon a new challenge blog called Fashionista Challenge. They just started out  and have posted their first Challenge - Anything Goes For Girls. The blog is owned by Rina and she has chosen a fabulous design team consisting of herself and 9 other awesome creators. The design team has put together some gorgeous samples to get your creative juices flowing so be sure you pop over to this new inspiring blog and check it all out. You won't be disappointed.
I was able to get a card made up for this challenge and I hope to maybe squeeze out another card today before submissions are closed. 
The card I'm posting now also fits with the current challenge at Pile It On - Pop It Up. For this challenge, you have to make your card "POP" somehow. I used 3D foam to "pop out" the image of Lynette on the front of my card.
Lets go for a third challenge this card will go with. Pam, from 365 Cards, want us to Get Inky with her. The challenge; find atleast 2 different uses for your ink pad. I used an ink pad 3 different ways; I stamped my image, inked the edges of my papers and used an ink pad and dauber to apply some ink to the chipboard butterfly.
One card - 3 challenges.


If you are familiar with this stamp "Lynette" by Sarah Kay, you may notice that the garden part of the stamp is not on here. Because I only wanted the figure of Lynette, I only partially inked the stamp and then cut the image out after colouring it with some Copics. I used B06, B12, E000, E23, E29, G28, RV25 & RV34. The coloured ink, ribbons, brad and papers are all CTMH ( except the copic paper). The sentiment is from the CTMH "Say it in Style" stamp set. To make the lace edge I used the Doily Lace Trim punch from Martha Stuart and inked the edges of the trim before attaching it to my card. After I stamped my sentiment, I punched it out with a Scallop Oval punch from Stampin' Up. I decided to edge this oval with some copper shimmer from Making Memories to give my card some sparkle. The flowers, leaf and chipboard butterfly are from my stash. I used a dauber to apply Sorbet ink to the butterfly so it coordinated better with my cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by to visit. I hope you have enjoyed my card.

Spring Flowers

Don't you just love springtime, the birds are singing and the flowers are starting to pop up. The sun is getting warmer this time of year and you know it won't be too much longer before its time for short sleeves again. One of my favourite springtime flowers is tulips. They come in such a rainbow of colours and their scent is beautiful.
The current challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge blog fits perfectly with this time of year. This week you had to make a card that fits with the theme "April Showers Bring Spring Flowers". This week has been the first time I have been able to papercraft since my neck surgery so I was finally able to make an Easter card for this year. Yes, its a week late but what other choice did I have. I am also entering this card in the current challenge at the Pile It On blog. Their challenge this week is "Pop It Up" and I believe this card is a pop-up type. I just loved this stamp when I bought it and I was determined I would use it no matter what.
Here is the card I finally got to make:
The stamp is Tina Wenke's "Rabbit in Watering Can". Isn't this stamp cute? The cardstock is Core'dinations and the patterned paper is some left over paper in my scrap box. I inked the edges of the patterned paper with ink from Close To My Heart which is also where the sentiment is from. The image on my card was coloured with the following copic markers: C3, C5, RV11, RV34, V12, V15, V17, Y06, YG41 & YG67. I have 3 blendable violet copics now so I took a chance on blending the tulips on my card. As this is the very first time I have ever tried the blending technique with markers of any kind, I am super excited with the results.
Anyway, my neck is now screaming with pain at me after being on the computer for a bit getting my posts up so I am off to rest it again. I hope all of you are well. Thanks so much for stopping by to visit. Take care and stay safe.

Bunny Love

Hello & Happy Spring!
I am so happy today as I was able to do some scrapbooking yesterday and I managed to make a card to share with you today. Yahoo!!
Pile It On posted their newest challenge this morning; #16, so I made sure I incorporated it in my card. This is what they have to say:
"This week at Pile It On we have a fun challenge for you, we want you to "Pop It Up!"You
can choose to make a Pop Up card or cut something out on your card and raise it
up wit Pop Dots, Foam Tape etc for more dimension and to give it some "POP!"
Because you have to incorporate more than 1 challenge in your entry to Pile It On, I also included 365 Cards Day 41 - Cute Critters. Pam's challenge says: "I love cards that include adorable little animals, bugs, and even imaginary creatures. For this challenge, we want to see at least two cute critters on your card."
Here is the card I made based on both of these challenges:
My wonderful friend Donna, owner of Dat's Scrapbooking, showed me how to make an easel card a while back and I finally got around to giving it a try. I love this new style and can't wait to make another one very soon.
The green cardstock is from Close To My Heart as are the stamps I used. I stamped the growing veggies multiple times so I could create a garden scene, then coloured it all in with Copic markers. I tore the paper to give it a rough edge then inked the edges. I cut my picket fence using Creative Memories Border Maker and brown cardstock from Core'dinations. I inked these edges as well. My patterned paper is from Imaginisce and has a bit of glitter on it. After stamping my bunnies, I coloured them with copics and cut them out. I used 3D foam tape to 'pop' out the cute pair of bunnies.
Thanks for stopping by to visit today.

Happy Easter

I want to wish all of you a very Happy Easter. I will be back later to share a couple of cards with you.
I must apologize for being absent as I had a major surgery on my neck 6 weeks ago and I have not been able to do much of anything, including looking down to see what I am working on. They have me in a rigid neck collar which I have to wear for another 6 weeks yet atleast. This has made it very difficult to work on any cards or scrapbook, which is very upsetting for me. But, they say things will get better so I am hanging on to that thought. Chat later friends.

Family Christmas Layout

In November 2011, Created With Paper had an awesome kit called "Lost & Found Christmas" from My Minds Eye. As soon as I saw the papers, I immediately thought of using it to scrap some old Christmas pictures from when my children were young. I really enjoy this collection and can't wait to get back to it so I can finish scrapping the rest of my pictures from 1987.

Recipe: cardstock - Creative Memories; inks - CTMH; flowers & leaves - Prima; stamped title - CTMH; red tinsel cord on tag - my stash; all other supplies - "Lost & Found Christmas" from My Mind's Eye.

Yes, It is Another Christmas Card

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Here it is, New Year's Eve and I still had a Christmas card to make for this year. I am horribly behind so thankfully I wasn't scheduled to see the recipients of this card until New Year's Day anyway. They are also VERY understanding family members which is lucky for me.
On to the card. 365 Cards - Day 300 was Super Sketchy Sunday and Pam had another wonderful sketch for us to work with. The very talented Design Team had some awesome creations from this sketch for us to look at, so be sure you pop over there and check them all out. The Simon Says Stamp Challenge going on right now is "Anything Goes" so this card will also be entered in that challenge. They too have a very talented Design Team and you really need to visit them to see all of their creations as well.
Here is Pam's sketch for this week:


When making my card, I decided to rotate the sketch and turn it on its side. Instead of buttons I used the faux stamps. Here is what I came up with:



I had a lot of fun with this sketch and will probably use it again.

Recipe: paper, cardstock & "stamps" - Hot Off the Press; ribbon for bow - Sheer Creations; satin ribbon - my stash; poinsettia - Prima; rhinestones - Studio 18; sentiment tag - Michaels

Best Wishes Card

I needed to make a birthday card for a friend in our coffee club at River Heights apartment building so I chose a challenge from 365 Cards - Day 303. Kim had us flashback to Day 80 where we had to "take some stamped, handwritten, computer generated, etc. (whatever method you can think of) letters and cut them out individually as part of your sentiment." I chose to cut out the sentiment "Best Wishes" from some paper and attach the letters individually. I will also enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp "Anything Goes" Challenge.

Here is my card:
Recipe: papers, tags, cardstock & sentiment - Hot Off the Press; fibers - EK Success

Hugs



Stamped Background

I decided I would work on another challenge today. This is from 365 Cards - Day 305. Jennifer decided that we would Flashback to Day 148 - Background Challenge. For this, we had to stamp a sentiment all over the background paper of our card. I'm not too sure, but by adding the tags with words on them, I may have messed this challenge up a bit. Oh well, I am sharing it with you and entering it anyway. I will of course be entering it into the Simon Says "Anything Goes" Challenge too :)
Here is my card:
Recipe: paper & tags - Hot Off the Press; ink - CTMH; stamped sentiments - CTMH "Say it in Style" stamp set; rhinestones - from my stash.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

Happy 28th Birthday Son

Well, my first born turned 28 years old yesterday so "Boy Oh Boy" do I feel old right now. How fitting that this is the title of the challenge from the 365 Cards blog that I chose to work with. All this week, 365 Cards is holding Flashback challenges from this past year. I chose Challenge Day 302 - Flashback Day 33 "Boy Oh Boy" The challenge was to create a masculine card with a touch of pink. Since I love to combine challenges, I will be entering this card into this week's challenge at Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes and I chose to use this month's card sketch by Lucy Chesna from MSW.

Here is Lucy's sketch:



Here is the card I made:


My touch of pink is pink vellum that I matted the leaf and half circle embellishments with.


Recipe: papers, cardstock & vellum - Hot Off the Press; sentiment - CTMH "Say it in Style" stamp set; ink - CTMH; fibers from my stash.


I hope you enjoyed my cards. Thanks for stopping by to visit.

Baby's 1st Christmas

Today, I would like to share the card I made for my Grandson for his 1st Christmas. This card fits into a couple of challenges this month. At My Sketch World, Tante Kathe gave us a challenge on Dec. 1st to create a holiday card using music paper and Pile It On said we had to "Bling It Up". This card did fit into the Simon Says Sketch - Anything Goes challenge at the beginning of December but I didn't get it made in time for that one :(

However, since the current challenge at Simon Says is currently another Anything Goes, I can enter it for their current challenge :)


Here is my take on these challenges:


Recipe: cardstock and papers - HOTP; image - CTMH "Snow Friends" stamp set; sentiment - CTMH "Say It In Style" stamp set; ink and watercolour pencils - CTMH; bling and glitter - from my stash.



Thanks for stopping by today.



Hugs,

"Ms Holiday Cheer"

Whew....what a whirlwind these past couple of days have been! I never did get back on here Christmas Eve to post this card but I still want to share it with you. Both Simon Says Stamp and Pam at 365 Cards brought us another fabulous challenge this past week, Day 297 - White Space. I was also able to enter this card in Barb's Non-Traditional Colour Challenge at My Sketch World where the challenge is to create a Christmas card using non-traditional colours. Although there is a wee bit of green (trees HAVE to be green), my main colours are pink, black & white. The bling I used combined with Barb's challenge also makes this card eligible for this month's challenge over at Pile It On
Here is the sketch Pam gave us to go with this challenge:

Here is the Bingo Card we had to pick a row from that Simon Says Stamp gave us to work with: the challenge was to pick a row on the bingo card and use those elements on your creation. The row can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.


The row I chose is: Ribbon/Twine, Gems and Sparkle/Glitter. For full details on this challenge, go to Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Lets Play Bingo.


At first, I wasn't too sure how this would turn out but when I was done, I totally loved my card. Here is what I came up with:
Recipe: cardstock - Recollections; stamps - "Ms Holiday Cheer" stamp set from CTMH; ink and water colour pencils - CTMH; pink stickles - Ranger; pink ribbon and gems - from my stash.

I hope you have enjoyed my card & thanks for stopping by.

Easter Layout

Just thought I would share this layout with you. I love the stamp set I used because the bunnies are so cute. The pages are in page protectors and there is journalling on the left hand page but it is hidden behind the chipboard butterfly.



This picture shows the butterfly is swivelled to reveal the journalling. The layout is from the "Magic" book sold by Close To My Heart. I love using the "Magic" book for layouts because this book is filled with dozens of ideas for interactive scrapbook pages.



All of the items used on these 2 pages are from Close To My Heart. Thanks for stopping by :)

A Blossom With Bling

I have been wanting to try out my new punch from Stampin' Up and one of this week's challenges at 365 Cards gave me the perfect opportunity to do just that. And with my love of glitter, rhinestones, etc., I was also able to work this week's challenge at Cupcake Craft Challenge blog into this card too :)

365 Cards Day 289 - Pretty Petals challenged us to create a large flower on a card using petals we created ourselves. At Cupcake Craft, Cupcake 172.....Don't Look at the Light was a challenge to use anything that sparkles, shines, glimmers, gleams, glitters, etc on our card.



Here is my take on these 2 challenges:






Recipe: cardstock - Recollections, patterned paper - Hot Off the Press, ink - CTMH, sentiment - My Stamp Box "Everyday Lines", corner punch - Paper Shapers, burnished velvet technique - Be Creative Tape Sheet & Glitter Ritz in Lilac Pink, Extra Lg Blossom Punch - Stampin' Up, rhinestones - Imaginisce.




I attempted to give the flower some dimension by curling each petal before attaching it to the card front. I really enjoyed making the flower and this card.




Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Remaining 2009 Calendar Pages

Our weather here has been absolutely fabulous the past several days! All of our snow is gone and I can't resist spending time during the afternoon on my balcony where it has been a glorious 20 degrees Celcius each day.
While I was browsing through my blog, I realized I had never finished posting my calendar pages from the calendar I had made for my husband and I last year. I have posted them here however I can't remember all the products I used. I am very sorry that I can't include the recipes with these. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

July Page:
For this page, I used pictures of my children when they were very young.

October Page:

This page features pictures of my fur-baby's first Halloween in 2006. The 'princess' is Angel and the 'fireman' is Zeus.
November Page:

For this page, I was inspired by an article and photo submission in a Canadian Scrapbooker magazine. One day while I was babysitting my grand-daughter Kasey, I took her outside to play in the leaves and explore the colours of autumn. These are some of the pictures I took of her that day.

December's Page:

Once again, I chose pictures of my children from years ago. These were taken on Christmas 1986, my daughter's very first Christmas.
Thank you for stopping by to have a peek.
Hugs, xoxo

2S4Y, Cupcake Craft Challenge & MSW

I love trying to participate each week/month in several of the various blog challenges that are out there. It is an added challenge when you want to try and make a couple of the challenges go together into 1 item. This week was no exception, but as an added bonus I found I was able to roll 3 different blog challenges all into 1 card...whoo hoo!! Kazan at 2 Sketches 4 You provided the sketch for the card, Cupcake Craft Challenge provided a specific detail that had to be found on the card, and Alecia at My Sketch World provided the "recipe" for making the card. When you have a few moments, be sure to check out each of these blogs. You will find a never ending pool of inspiration at each of them.

Kazan's Sketch 47:


Cupcake Craft Challenge 80 - Round & Round. "We want to see lots of circles..."

MSW - Alecia's Recipe Card Challenge:
Make a card using the following items - atleast 1 hole cut out, atleast 2 patterned papers, ribbon and atleast 1 button.

Here is my efforts on Kazan's sketch 47, Cupcake Craft's Challenge 80 - Round & Round and Alecia's Recipe Card Challenge:

2010 Scrap-A-Thon

MSW Sketch-a-thon was a month long challenge where diffent sketches were posted every day for the first 20 days in the month. We then had until March 3rd to upload them into the Gallery and onto each specific challenge thread. I had a lot of fun doing these challenges and sketches but I only managed to complete a few of them.

Lucy's Sketch:


My take on the sketch:

I totally enjoyed making this card! The garden hose and water are heat embossed and the plant was stamped with a glue pad then glittered up. I paper-pieced all the clothes, even her Crocs and the scarf on her hat.

Recipe:
HOTP papers
Stampendous embossing powder
CTMH "Ms Gardener" & "Say It In Style" stamp sets, inks, and water colour pencils.

Lucy's Sketch:


My take on the sketch:


Recipe:
Prima Flowers
Creative Memories pens, templates and letter stickers
Unknown cs, die-cuts and pape
Lucy's Sketch:




Here is my take on the sketch:
I had to alter this one a bit because the sketch was designed for a 12 X 12 page and I was working on an 8-1/2 X 11. It is not one of my favourites for sure.

Recipe:
Creative Memories Vellum Title
Everything else is Unknown

Back Into The Swing Of Things

Hi All!
I know I have been away for a very long time but I am hoping things have settled down enough that I can get back into the 'groove' of things. Between my son, daughter, grand-daughter, husband and myself, our whole family has had such a long stretch of colds and illnesses that I was beginning to wonder if we would ever break out of it...lol. I also took some time to concentrate a bit on my CTMH business and finally have my first Stamper 6 Group up and running which I am very excited about. I am working with such a super group of women and look forward to each of our get-togethers with gusto.
Anyway, on to today's cards............
My good friend Darcy Magbanua asked me if I would be interested in hosting a workshop at this year's annual Scrap For Heart. This is a huge event each year with all the proceeds going to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. I said "sure" and began my search for what I would do for this. Naturally I began checking my fave blogs and it turns out this was perfect timing! This month My Sketch World is hosting their 2010 Sketch-a-thon. From February 1 - 20, Lucy will post a different sketch each day, rotating between card sketches and layout sketches. You have until March 3 to upload your creations to have your name entered into the drawing for a chance at some super prizes. So, I used a couple of Lucy's sketches to make my workshop samples AND I am able to enter them into the Sketch-a-thon contest. I love it when I can combine 'challenges'. Well, you only have 45 minutes for your workshop at Scrap For Heart and that has to include set-up and clean-up time. This only leaves you with 25-30 minutes TOPS for the actual creating....YIKES!! Because of this time frame and the fact that I have never put on one of these before, I have kept the card the participants will make very simple; I just hope it isn't too simple. The first card in this post is the one the participants will actually make. The second card is another sample to show the participants a variation on how it can be done.

CARD SKETCH: FEB. 16th by LUCY CHESNA of MY SKETCH WORLD


MY TAKE ON THE SKETCH:

RECIPE:
Close To My Heart - "Flower Child" & "Say It In Style" stamp sets, ink, cardstock and patterned paper
Unknown - daisy flower and ribbon



CARD SKETCH: FEB. 2nd by LUCY CHESNA of MY SKETCH WORLD
MY TAKE ON THE SKETCH:


RECIPE:
Close To My Heart - cardstock, purple plaid patterned paper, button, fibers, ink and "Flower Child" & "Say It In Style" stamp sets
Hot Off The Press - pale purple patterned paper
Unknown - ribbon and bling
I will be back after Scrap For Heart to share my new layouts with you which, will of course, be made using more of Lucy's fabulous sketches. Thank you so much for stopping by today!

So Sketchy August Sketch Contest

I managed to get a few pages and cards made in August and I was able to use some of them to double up on some challenges too. My Sketch World hosted their ABC Summer Crop during the entire month so I combined a couple of the August sketches from So Sketchy with the "recipe" from MSW and uploaded my creations to both blogs. I LOVE it when I can combine challenges because I have more time to spend on each creation. AND So Sketchy is trying something new .... the winner of their August Sketch Contest will be picked by YOU! The deadline for sending in our entries was Sept.4th which means that Allison will be posting the entries and voting rules anytime. Once she does that, I will post the direct link for the specific post on my blog. So, be sure to hop over to Allison's So Sketchy blog to have a look at all of the fantastic entries and don't forget to cast your vote for your favourite.
Here are all of my entries for the August sketch contest. (Allison doesn't allow anyone to post her sketches on their blog so above each of my creations you will see a link to the specific sketch on her blog.)


This was my calendar page for August.

This is September's calendar page.

Thanks so much for stopping by to have a look at some of my creations. I hope to see you again soon. Hugs xoxo
