Pink sleeping bear and charm.

So another week which means another challenge at http://sketchyfriday.blogspot.com/. This challenge was really fun and as soon as I looked at it I knew what I wanted to make. Seems like lots of my friends are having little babies. I have 3 friends who just had a little one.

This one I really love the cute bear and the moon. It is just so sweet. I actually did a "different" thing vs just coloring the image. I actually paper pierced the bear/moon. I used some yellow paper, pink, brown. Then I also used white card stock. I cut the pieces added to the white card stock.

The green paper base is SEI , the rest of the paper is from doodlebug. I figured since it was a little girl for this card - then it would be perfect. It is 6x6 card. I love the stripped bubble gum pink paper and the pretty little paper on the back.

I used my Martha Stewart punches to make a cute little border on a stripe of paper. I then glued the paper pieced moon/bear down onto the white, and used my new spellbinder dies to cut a cute little label. I adhered that to the bigger square paper - which is 4x4 popped it up to give it some dimension.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time --- All star baby. For this card -I wanted to use the "Congrats on your little miracle because this friend really has had a hard time getting pregnant and little Mariah is truly a miracle.

 

I couldn't stop with just the card so I also made a cute little charm for her charm bracelet. My friend totally loves charms. I figured since this was an "easier" cut image I would print them on the Shrinky Dink paper and color it.  I imported the digi to 3" and then it shrinks to this size here. I then sealed it with Ultra Thick Embossing enamel.

Hope you enjoy and don't forgot to join http://sketchyfriday.blogspot.com/ for some fun.

Have a great day and

Happy Scrappin'

OK I must admit I'm addicted to 2 things. The first being my Spectrum Noir markers, and the second the new Challenge at http://sketchyfriday.blogspot.com/2013/01/SFC2.html. This sketch was so fun and lots of ways to make this one work. I actually made 2 cards, but since 1 is for a surprise I won't publish it yet.

I bought this cute little digi from http://www.shopskdigis.com/. I love that cute little Caterpillar w/ the heart. What a doll.

I used my Spectrum Noir markers which also happen to be running a new challenge - LOVE. Well I think this little love bug will find his way to that site soon too. You can enter by going here: http://www.spectrumnoir.com/challenge/


I"ll also enter this at http://www.pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/01/pile-it-on-3-have-heart.html
I made an A2 card -
The paper is from American Crafts With love collection, so is the sentiment - it's part of the roller stamp. Which I'm starting to really love.
The stripe paper is also from AC -

I used the PL 1, PL2, BT 3, BT 1 and the DR 3, DR 5 to color the cutie.

Hope you enjoy and
Happy Scrappin'

Sketchy Friday Challenge #1

So a couple of weeks ago I discovered a fun little Challenge website. I was looking for digi images and came across this great website it is http://skdigis.blogspot.com/. I then started looking around her blog and found this: http://sketchyfriday.blogspot.com/. Score. I love the digi stamps and love a great little sketch challenge. Here is the photo of the sketch challenge:

The rules were pretty simple - just create a project following the sketch.

 

So I bought this cut cupcake for a very very special person. My Husband's Grandma - She will be turning 100 on Saturday. I'm so excited. I love Grandma just like she was my own. My daughter loves her GREAT GRANDMA too and is super excited about her party on Saturday. I went to the store just to buy a quick card and I'll tell you nothing jumped out at me. So then I figured I'd go ahead and play along with the great little challenge.

 

The card is actually an easel card - measure 6x6. I wanted to make it larger for Grandma - as her eye site is a little weak.

I printed the birthday cake onto white smooth card stock made for coloring w/ alochol inks. I used my Spectrum Noir markers. 

I sized the image for printing to be about 3" and used a circle scallop from Arts Philosophy cartridge sized at 3 3/4" - can I say I also figured out how to use the CENTER point button on my expression? Well I did figure it out pretty quickly and looks pretty good to me on the image.

 

I then used some Echo Park paper I had - I love the green and the pink. The ribbon is from American Craft. The buttons were from my stash. I added a few Rhinestones, and some stickles.

 

I think this turned out really pretty - and really hope she loves it.

 

Have a great day and
