Get Well Soon

Made a get well card for a family member.

I used the newest sketch from Seize the Sketch challenge #2

I paper pieced the turtle and gave him a glittery ice pack 

with a dab of my wink of stella marker.

The heart was a punch that I layered several times.

 

Here's the Sketch:

 

My card features papers by Echo Park,

 Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" stamps,

washi tape, and wink of stella glitter marker.

Card for a Speedy Recovery

Hello.

SO many crafty projects going right now.  

I started layouts for the boys' school pictures from last year and didn't have enough paper.  Put an order in and that should be coming soon.

I moved on to our vacation from last year and have completed 4 pages for each boy and have about 4 more to go at least for each child (yep, "somebody" took too many pics)!!

THEN, there's this CRAZY 3 dimensional artsy thing I

 bought supplies for to decorate our bedroom...

The craft room is a TOTAL disaster!

Yet, I have this little cutie to share today....

Lawn Fawn stamps and Echo Park papers.

Supplies:

Stamps; Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend"

Papers: Echo Park's Metropolitan Dots and Stripes

Other: Spellbinders wonky rectangle, twine

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp: Put a Stamp on It Challenge!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I'll share the artsy bedroom thingy if it works out.... to be seen...

Get Well Card

Made a little get well card today.

Features MME "On the Bright Side One" 6x6 pad

and a sentiment by Paper and Such "Get Well Chick"

The banner is handmade.  

The idea came from Jennifer McGuire's blog a while back.

I scored the ends and folded them.  Then I hand cut the ends.

Here's the Sketch

I am submitting this card into the following challenges:

RIC10, CCC189 and SSS: Gettin' Inky

Hi.  

I made another card originally inspired by the current Runway Inspired Challenge.

I decided to play with my distress inks to create the background.  

I started with a piece of white paper, added a layer of Antique Linen, followed by Spiced Marmalade, and a splash of Pumice.  

After that, I kept adding the orange until I got the brightness I wanted... which was a lot of ink! 

I stamped the subtle chevron on the side with London Fog. 

  

I wanted to add a bit of cheer to the card and went with a piece of EP polka dot paper for my tissue box and some felt for texture.   

I pulled the gold from the photo to the card with the gold brads.

RIC#10: Carbon Copied with the Bald Dragonfly!

I am very excited to share a card today.  

Karen Baker has a feature on her blog where she occasionally teams up with another card maker and they use the same stamp set and make a  "carbon copy" in a challenge.

This is such a great way to see how the same stamp set can be used in different ways.
I love this feature of Karen's blog and tickled pink (or should I say orange)
 that she asked me to play along.

So, welcome to my blog if you're a first time visitor!
If you're a follower of mine and have not seen Karen's creations, then you're in for a treat! 

Karen and I decided to play along with the latest Runway Inspired Challenge AND

use Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" stamp set. 
 I also used Lawn Fawn's Chevron Backdrops.

 Orange, gray and gold?  
Can't say that it's a dress you'd find me wearing, but it makes for a great card challenge!
I went with a gray background with bright orange accents.

Here is the inspiration photo from Runway Inspired Challenge #10 outfit by Nanette Lepore

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Inks: Memento London Fog and Tuxedo Black

I am so honored to be playing along with Karen Baker.

Please hop over to her blog, The Bald Dragonfly, to see how she 

interpreted the photo and used the same set.
I am excited to see what she has made...

Thanks for stopping by,

SSS: kids' challenge, Matthew's card

My son Matthew (4) is sharing a card he made for his friend,

Evan, who had a tonsillectomy. 

After he saw his brother's card, he wanted a turtle too.

Matthew's favorite color is blue, so the card base is blue.

Matthew LOVES glitter glue and thus the sparkle.

He is entering this card into Simon Says Stamp's Summer Holidays
Children's Card Challenge: Anything Goes!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend"
Pencils: mommy's old set of colored pencils, Stickles (with many reminders to "go easy" with mommy's precious glitter glue).  He did a GREAT job!

Thanks for looking!

SSS: Kids' Challenge, Alex's Card

Greetings!

Today Alex  (age 6) and I (age, um.. cough... cough...)  are sharing a card
he made for his friend, Evan.

Evan is having a tonsillectomy and we thought it'd be fun to
send him a card to cheer him up.

Alex asked me to call Evan's mom to learn Evan's favorite color: green.

He choose the turtle from my Lawn Fawn set and wanted a REAL band-aid rather than the stamped one from the set. 

He added a sun and a pool (red circle) for the turtle.

He choose google eyes of different sizes for giggles.

The inside:

We are submitting his card in Simon Says Stamp
Summer Holidays Children's Card Challenge: Anything Goes!

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend"

Ink: Memento

Other: Mommy's "good" pencils, real band-aid, google eyes

Thanks for looking!
