Challenge #178 at One Stitch At A Time

Good morning everyone!! Today is Challenge #178 over at One Stitch At A Time. This is going to be my last challenge until March. Kevin and I have started putting up some images in the Stitchy Bear store. We would love to have you go look at our images under Sentimental Susan. I haven't had a lot of time to draw though, so I'm going to try to get some more things drawn and up in the store. So, here is my card for this challenge:

Such a cute image! This is Lovebot by Alipeeps. I colored the image with Copic. I decoupaged him too. I used all scraps for this card. I used a Sizzix swirl. I added some Stickles to the antennae and the heart. I used some Copic Opaque White on some parts of the bot. I used twine. I embossed some tin foil and used that as a layer. The sentiment is metal and I secured it with two black brads. And thats it!

Use A Digi over at One Stitch At A Time This Week!

Happy Sunday! Its been a busy few weeks. I've had a lot going on with the kids, a lot going on at work and a hard time getting back into crafting. But! yesterday I spent the day coloring and I need to get some cards together today. Well... after a full day of shopping with the kids.. and I hate shopping LOL! But I have some images colored up. The other big thing is work. I took a promotion which is really great for myself and the family. It has really been a lot for the last few weeks though. I've had to leave one of my design teams and I'm going to put one on hold for a little while. I've started drawing again a bit and I want to spend some more time drawing. So, I'm going to try to get some time to draw in and get some more digis added to Stitchy Bears. Be sure to check them out. I have a few up there and Kevin has a bunch that he has done up there. My oldest daughter has some up there and even my youngest... she seems to be the talent in the family :)  She has an amazing one up there. Anyway... enough of that stuff! On to my card!!!

This week at One Stitch At A Time we have Challenge #176 which is Use A Digi! no trouble doing that and if you head over to Stitchy Bears Digital Stamp Outlet you will find just about any kind of digi you were ever looking for!

Here is my Congrats card for this challenge. I used Ella by Beary Dust. You can pick her up here at Stitchy Bears. I colored the image with Copic. I added ribbon, lace and pearls. I even decoupaged her and added a little lace as a layer for under her dress. The stamp is from my Doodlebug/Hampton Arts set. I just love that set of stamps. It has such a variety. I used pink ink for the stamping and that's it.

Challenge #174 at One Stitch At A Time

Good morning!

We are on Challenge #174 over at One Stitch At A Time and this challenge is Anything Goes! Here is my card:

The awesome image is a Delicious Doodles image - Vintage Norton. I love this image and I think it was really awesome without any coloring at all. This is my favorite simple card that I've done. I printed the image along with the sentiment that I created. I added the three small pearls and the ribbon and thats it. I kept it all black and white. I added the sentiment to the inside and that is the card - very simple!

Challenge #172 at One Stitch At A Time

Good morning and happy Sunday! I've been busy working this weekend and trying to get some crafting in as well. I may even try to log into work for a bit today as well. I have so much to do and I can't seem to make any head way right now. The good thing is that I was able to get one card finished and another almost finished. I'm hoping I can get that one finished and another two done today. We will see what happens. I hope everyone else is having a great weekend! Okay... on to the OSAAT Challenge!

We are on Challenge #172 over at One Stitch At A Time!! Our theme for this challenge is to Use A Digi!

I used Copic to color these awesome images designed by Reece's Scrap Pieces - I'm Too Old For You. They are really fun images and a lot of little accessories to go along with it. I love it!! So, I used the skull and the hearts. I added some sewing along the edges. I popped part of the skull and the sentiment is handwritten. All of the papers are scraps from my huge box of scraps!

One Stitch At A Time Challenge #170

Good morning everyone! The weekend just seems like it has flown by! Kevin went and took the motorcycle test yesterday and got his driver's license. Bailey had a birthday party at the skating rink and we took her to that. Then we had to run down my sister's motorcycle back to Atlanta. Yesterday late afternoon we went and saw Superman. That has been the weekend so far. And Superman!!! WAS FANTASTIC!!!! But... after all that, it's already Sunday and the weekend is almost over!! And that stinks!! Alright... on to the challenge this week.

We are on Challenge #170 at One Stitch At A Time. Our theme for this challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes!!

For this challenge I used Heartfelt House by Hope Jacare Doodles. I love this image and I had fun coloring it. I colored the image with my Prismacolor Pencils. I used Mister Huey's Bubbles Mask for the background and sprayed it with Butterscotch spray. The papers are all from Club Scrap. I have these kids forever! The buttons I've had forever too LOL So that is from my stash. I popped the roof. I added the yellow ribbon and I created the sentiment. I wanted to go with a yellow ribbon Welcome Home theme. Thats it!! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Use A Digi @ One Stitch At A Time

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you all are having a really nice weekend! We had storms go through on Thursday evening. We lost power for a little bit and a tree in the yard broke at the top. No major damage or anything. I took the kids to the movies on Friday around noon.. they were going to see Fast 6. When we got back home at 1 pm or so, we had lost power! I spent the next few hours trying to find a good place to connect back into work, which I did. We didn't have power until after 7 pm. It was really strange because we had power after the storm all the way to midday the next day and then nothing LOL Oh well.. at least we got power back and all is good. They were some really strong storms, a lot of rain and wind! I hope the rest of you did all right through the storms if you had any go through!

Yesterday, Kevin and I were going to go see a movie. We always go to the 10:30 am movie, because there isn't much of a crowd. We went and the parking lot was full today! So, we changed our mind and went back home LOL Maybe next weekend! It is the opening weekend for Superman and I should have known it would be that way! LOL Kevin went for a ride instead, we watched Oz the Great and Powerful.. it was okay, and then later in the evening we went out and and he had a coffee. I just needed to get out for a bit. It has been a nice weekend. I have been coloring.. LOL Thats the usual ;)

This week we have Challenge #168: Use A Digi over at One Stitch At A Time. For this challenge I used a Stitchy Designs Image - So Sorry. I love this little fairy!! Here is my card:

I colored the image with Copic Markers. I added some glitter to her wings and gems to the sentiment on the front and the centers of her flowers in her hair. The papers are all from Basic Grey and this is from a 6x6 pack: Kneehighs. Love these papers! I used one of my edge punches on the green.

Copic:
Hair - B01, B02, B04, YG01, YG05, YG07, YG09
Flowers and Dress Petals - RV02, RV04 RV06
Leaves and Dress Leaves and Shoes - G12, G14, G19, G29

Skin - E000, E00, E01, E11

Anything Goes @ One Stitch At A Time

Good morning everyone!! I can't believe it is Sunday already. This weekend has just flown by. Where has it gone. Yesterday I upgraded my cell phone and got the Samsung Galaxy 4. I have been using the Galaxy 2. I gave the 2 to Kevin... he had been using my first one LOL, the original. He gets my hand me downs. LOL It worked out really well though! Last week my phone started acting all weird. It was getting all hung up and I had to pull the battery out of it every time I did a couple of things. So, I took it back to Best Buy where I had the warranty. They sent a new phone to us, so Kevin has a new phone too. After that we went and saw a movie, Now You See Me. The kids went to see it on Friday since they did a great job getting their things done this week.

This week at One Stitch At A Time we have Anything Goes. I had some awesome digital papers to use from Panda Bear Designs - Doodle Boys Paper Pack. All of the papers are from this digital pack except for the black base card and the one strip of black that I embossed. They are all really great papers to use for a masculine card and I love how it turned out!! Here is my card:

Great papers aren't they? The brown background is one and for each banner I used different papers. I used those same papers on the inside too.  I colored the image with Copic. I inked around the sentiment with Tea Dye Distress Ink. I added a little bit of glitter. I popped/decoupaged parts of the images and I embossed the strip of black on the front with a Spellbinders embossing folder. The images were hand drawn by my wonderful husband. I took them and tubed them, made the lines darker in Paint Shop and there you have it. The sentiment was made by me.

Copic:
C00, C1, C3, C5, C6, C7, C9
G12, G14, G17, G28
