Monday, Monday

Well I got some time to play this afternoon. This is a busy week around here as we started Bible School today. We had to get up early and then when I stopped to get some chai tea at WaWa, the machine was broken. This card is to commemorate the tea I never got this morning. It is the sketch from MFTSC39.

This card is for BSC37. I used the new Soccermomabella from Stamping Bella.

Below is one of Stamping Bella's new stamps called Rose Bouquet. I made it using the the sketch from TECC24.

The next one is made with the Circus Tent from Stamping Bella. The inside of the card says "Sometimes life is a circus." I made this with a sketch (SC184) from SCS.

The last one is Car Riley from Hanna Stamps. It is made with the sketch from Mojo46. I used the colors from the CC174. The colors are Buttercup, Chocolate, and Taffy.

Hopefully I will get some time in tomorrow to try another sketch I came across on Papertake Weekly from last week. Plus the new color challenge on SCS will be posted in the morning. Tomorrow I will plan on making my own tea before I leave!

Got a little playtime tonight...

I got a chance to play with my stamps tonight after the boys went to bed. The card is for MFTSC38. I used the Take a Break stamp from My Favorite Things. It is accented with beads and colored with Copics and Pearlescent Watercolors.

This card is done with Bookworm Hanna. I did it with the sketch from TECC23.

Below is Booboobella. I got this image in an exchange and decided to use imaged I had never used before to do the next two cards. This is done with the sketch from BSC36 on Splitcoast.

The last card is done with Billboardabella, another image I have never used before. This uses the sketch from Mojo45 and the colors from BCC35.

Hopefully I will get some time to play again tomorrow night.

Ismaki 25

This card is for my friend, Sandy, whose birthday is on June 30th. I used the sketch from Ismaki 25. The DP is Basic Grey. The stamp is Curly Surpriseabella from Stamping Bella. The inside of the card says, "but growing up is optional."

BCC34/TECC21

This card was done with a sketch from Taylored Expression and uses the color challenge from the Stamping Bella forum on SCS. The stamp is Belinda Bumberboots from Stamping Bella. The colors for the challenge were sunflower, topiary, and goldrush. All of the paper and embellishments are CTMH.

Katharina YAOB/Sugar Nellie/Papertake Challenge

I was reading the Sugar Nellie blog today and they posted a challenge in coordination with Katharina's YAOB Sunday Challenge. The challenge was to make a card using both a Sugar Nellie stamp and one of Katharina's sketches. Here is my card using Sitting Nellie from Sugar Nellie. The DP is Boom-Di-A-Da from CTMH. This is the first time I inked up this stamp. She is just so adorable though I am sure it will not be the last. You can check out all of the other cards on Katharina's blog at: www.katharina1704.blogspot.com. This is also the Papertake Weekly Challenge sketch so I guess it is a 2 for 1.

Monday Challenge Cards

This card is for the Mojo 43 challenge on Poetic Artistry. I used Rainy Day Maggie from Sugar Nellies. The DP is Basic Grey.

This card is for Bella Sketch Challenge 34. I used the Daisy VW stamp from Stamping Bella. I stamped the background with my new Spot On Backgrounds from CTMH.

The last one is from MFT36. The stamp is Chamomile from My Favorite Things. I used some old K & Company paper that I have had forever. The flowers and flower pot are colored with Pearlescent watercolors to give them some shine.

Hanna PJ Party Challenges

Hanna Stamps had their big release party on Splitcoast last Friday night. Kristi released 20 new Riley stamps. At the party they posted five challenges, each with a different theme. The first one was to make a card using the colors of your bedroom. I used Bookworm Hanna for the card. The colors of my bedroom are blue, green, chocolate, and tan.

The second challenge was to use stars. I used both the Campfire Riley and Tent Riley to create a camping scene and then accented it with star brads and star eyelets.

The third challenge was a "fuzzy" challenge. Something on your card had to be fuzzy. Since I do not have any Fun Flock, I stamped Riley onto a piece of faux suede and paper pieced him to the card. The suede is actually might lighter in person although on the scan it looks very dark.

Challenge four was to "get punchy." You had to use at least two different punches on your card. I used my giga circle punch and my two oval punches. The stamp is Coffee Riley.

The fifth and final challenge was an inspiration challenge. There were pictures of three pair of pajamas posted and you had to pick one and design a card around it. I picked the pair of pajamas that was turquoise and green floral. The stamp I used was Cafe Hanna. I used three kinds of ribbon as an accent and then hung a charm from the ribbons.

Thanks for checking out my weekend of fun. Later.
