Cat Loving Mothers

Good morning! And a very happy Tuesday to everyone... although ... I thought it was Wednesday, which means a very long week for me ahead!  I hate that! This should be a pretty busy week too. Bailey has practice all week. They have a game on Thursday, which I need to bring food to feed the team. Then they have a tournament on Saturday. That will end their High School season for lacrosse. But then on Sunday it is right into the club lacrosse as Khaos will start their practices. Will be a busy week and weekend for sure!

Here is another Mother's Day card from me. I was lucky enough to already sell this one! I got it out in the mail yesterday :)








This one is for the cat loving mother :)

Open-Minded Crafting Fun March Challenge #3 -- St. Patrick's Day / Good Luck

Good morning everyone! And a very happy Thursday! This week has been a busy week at work so far, but I have gotten a lot done. There has been lacrosse practice, but no games since Monday. They have a tournament this weekend though. Hoping for a quiet weekend other than that. Have a great Thursday and rest of your week!! 

Today is the 10th and it is our third (3rd) challenge at Open-Minded Crafting Fun. This month we have a challenge of St. Patrick's Day or Good Luck. We have some great sponsors for March. Here they are with a HUGE thank you from all of us! Thank you so very much!





And here is my creation:








For this card I wanted to get away from St. Patty's and away from green to show we want to see all kinds of good luck creations. So, I went with red and black using this amazing KennyK Stamps image - Happy Hour. I've cut around the image with a My Favorite Things die. I've added some black ink slightly around the edge. I've added some twine and pearls. The Good Luck is stamped.I've used a negative cut on the inside and added some black and white pearls to bring it all together. The image was colored using my Copic markers.

Copic Markers Used:
  • Skin: E000, E21, E11, E04, R20
  • Dress: C00, C1, C3, C5, C7, C9; R20, R22, R24, R29

Easter Card Too

Happy Tuesday everyone! It has been a busy, long week at work and it is only Tuesday!! I have a lot to do and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.  But.. It will all work out. I'll get caught up. Tomorrow I am taking Michael to get his toe taken care of and working. I've been in bed early and haven't had a lot of Etsy time the last couple of days. I hope you all are having a great week!

And today I'm going to share another Easter card. This one I did in blue:








This is my Easter Card using Roses Cross from Delicious Doodles. I have used my Copic Markers to color the image. I've added a bit of clear Wink Of Stella and I've popped the roses and leaves. That is a bit of fussy cutting :)  For this card I went back into the scraps box and pulled out all the scraps of blue. I love being able to use scraps up! I've used some flowers and dew drops. I've also used some die cuts, embossing powder, embossing folder. I've done a small bit of stitching. The Happy Easter is stamped. I've inked a bit of paper with black and some with blue. I also used some vines that I cut a piece off of. The inside has a printed quote and I also added some dew drops to it as well.

COPIC MARKERS USED:
  • Wood: E30, E24, E44, E47
  • Cross Edge: Y00, Y11, Y15, YR23, YR24

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hi Everyone! And I hope you all have had a very Happy Valentine's Day!! I have spent the day with my wonderful husband. I got him a new Kindle, because he needed one! :)  And we went out and had lunch. Other than that we have just hung out at home together. And for us .. that is perfection!

What else has we been up to? The kids are out of school next week. Michael has been working. He also has another ingrown toenail. I have a feeling we will end up at the doctor again for that. He was soaking it this morning, but he couldn't get it cut. He is wanting to wait it out, because he knows it will hurt when they cut it. Bailey helped Kevin and I shovel some crush and run yesterday. We put that in the bike port and the walkway to the house. We also filled up the spots in the driveway that are broken. I think it will take some time to settle and dry out, but I think it will be well worth it. It is much better than the mud that we had. Today, she has gone to spend a couple of days with a friend.

Tomorrow it is back to work and Kevin has an Ultrasound. The weekend has just flown by so quickly! Now, I wanted to share a card with you. This was my first custom order on Etsy. I had someone purchase a card and then ask if I would make her daughter a custom card for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day. She calls him Peach Butt and wanted it to say Happy Valentine's Day Peach Butt. So, with that in mind, this is what I came up with:







For this custom card I created a Peach shape to cut with the Silhouette Cameo. I was able to use scraps for this card! I'm really digging into them. I inked it all up with my Distress Inks to give it that peach flavor :)  I cute the leaves with some die cuts on some embossed paper, stamped the Happy Valentine's Day. Peach Butt was cut with one of my Sizzlit letters and the hearts are a Memory Box die. The little peach is an emoticon that she wanted me to use. The red glitter circles are stickers. And that is it! I had a lot of fun making this unique card! I hope I can have some custom orders again :)

Chinese New Year Child's Card

Good morning everyone! It is Sunday... I can't believe how quickly the weekend goes by! It is here and then it is gone! And tomorrow it is back to work already. I don't even feel like I got a break! Tonight, Bailey comes home from camp and I'm pretty sure Michael works this afternoon, but I'm not sure what time. I received my first request on Etsy for a Valentine's card this morning. So, today I will be working hard to get that finished. I'll make that one and ship it out with the other one she bought. So excited! All the work I'm putting into Etsy is definitely paying off :)  Yay!

Here is my 2nd custom ordered Chinese New Year Card. This one is for the baby daughter :)








I used all scrap paper. I cut the black wth the Silhouette Cameo. I added some twine and some dew drops. The little monkey was a free coloring image found online that I printed and colored with Copic Markers. I did pop his little head up and put it on a wobble. I thought... what is better for a small child than a wobble! :D  I stamped the Happy New Year and attached it with a black brad. And that is it! I was able to use all scraps for both of the cards for her which is a real bonus! I love being able to use my scraps up and I'm trying really hard to do that!

Copic Markers Used:
  • Cheeks: R20, R22
  • Vines: YG11, YG13, YG17

Fantastic Friday!!!.

Yes!! Finally Friday! It has been a LONG week LOL  A LONG couple of weeks and I'm glad its coming to an end! Time to enjoy a nice weekend ... although they really go by quickly don't they!!  So, on to our challenge today.. Today is Challenge #93 at Delicious Doodles and our theme this week is Make A Scene (use a scenery image). Trying to work on Christmas cards again, I came up with this:






For this one I used A Robin's Christmas which you can find in the Delicious Doodles Store. I colored the image with Copic Markers. I printed them out in the different sizes and then layered them on top of each other. The papers are all scraps from making cards last year. I added the ribbon and the two snowflake stickers. The "Peace On Earth" is a Paper Smooches stamp. The label it is stamped on is cut with a Spellbinders die. I dry embossed the white background with my snowflake folder. And I added the clearish white almost icy looking Robin's Nest Dew Drops. On the inside I layered the paper and cut the bottom edge with one of my punches. I used the same embossing folder for the inside white paper on the back.

Copic:
  • Sky: BG90, BG93, BG96, BG99
  • Snow: B0000, B000, B00
  • Trees: G20, G24, G29

  • Black: C1, C3, C5, C7
  • Bird: E97, E08, E09, N1, N3, N5, N7, N9

Whiff of Joy in June!!.

Good morning everyone!!  Today I'm throwing up my first post of the month for Whiff of Joy. :) It's been an interesting week at work... the week from some where!!  My boss got laid off, my computer hasn't worked since last Thursday, I'm so behind because of that! I'm hoping that next week will be a little better!!

Here is my card:







This cutie is Thinking of You Maya!!  You can find her at the Whiff of Joy blog. I colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and a bit of Gamsol. I stamped the "Thinking of You" with white ink. I added the pearls, the ric rac and the buttons and twine. All of the papers were scraps. I'm trying to get back in that mode of Use Your Scraps WOMAN! LOL  I added a bit of stitching and that's it! :)
