Card Patterns Challenge

Hello! The Stamping Boutique is sponsoring the challenge over at Card Patterns. Why not stop by and check out the sketch and join in the fun!? There are prizes too so be sure to check out the challenge! My card for the challenge was created using the Audrey with Ladybugs image from The Stamping Boutique. I colored my card digitally in Photshop and the sentiment was computer generated as well. What a cute image this! Well I am off to church right now but should be back later to come visit each of you. Have a great rest of your weekend.

HUGS!

Wishing You a Happy Birthday

Whoooo hooo! It's Friday...can you tell I am a working girl? I am always so excited for the weekends to come...time to play and time to spend with my grandbabies! Today's card features a new image from the Stamping Boutique! It is called Audrey's Wishing Well...is this not the cutest yet? I colored the sky in photoshop using a gradient...the rest of the card was colored with copic markers. And yes, you guessed it...I just had to use my crystal effects! All the flower heads have crystal effects as well as the two butterflies. The clouds were filled in with Tulip Puffy paint and a touch of glitter was added before the paint dried. The sentiment was computer generated. I had a blast working with this image. Remember to stop by the Boutique to check out all the new images and take advantage of the sale! Hugs to all and have a great day today!

All My Love

Good morning! BRRRR it is frigid cold again here in the Valley! Mother Nature is just letting us know that winter is NOT over yet even though most of us are impatiently awaiting spring! Well last night I got a couple of new cards made with some of Tracey's new images at the Stamping Boutique. If you have not been to the Boutique lately, be sure to stop on over to see all the new cute images Tracey has added....they are simply awesome and what's more...she is having a SALE! Yep, 35% off! You can check out the deets here! Today's card is for Stef's Sketch Challenge. Once I printed the image, I colored it with copic markers and added a little bling with a red Sakura glitter pen. And oh my, I bought my first bottle of crystal effects and am really loving it...notice the rose and the bow are accented with it? I know it has been around for a while but it is new to me and I am excited...you will probably see it on a lot of my upcoming projects. I love dimension. Also the image was trimmed out with one of my new MS punches. The senitment was computer generated and cut out using Spellbinders Labels...added some ribbon and voila! I sure hope you stop on over to see what the other DT ladies have created and join in the fun! Remember....there is a prize for one lucky winner! Well hope you all have a great day today and as always I thank you so much for stopping in to see me....it means a lot to me and I treasure all of you and your comments. Hope to see you again soon and I will be by to do some visiting with you a little later on today.

Friends are Flowers

Well I am running a little behind! This card I had created for Stef's sketch challenge at The Stamping Boutique a few weeks ago and didn't get it posted in time...so I am going to show it to you now. This image is Sunflower Girl...it is so cute and fun to create with. I colored the image with my SU markers...not real fond of how they color but I just don't have a huge assortment of copics yet. I added the sentiment around the image. Hope everyone is fine...with all the snow we have gotten in the last few days I know it headed east...so to all my eastern friends I hope you are all doing ok. Wow you really got socked. I will be back tomorrow with a new card for this weeks sketch challenge. ON TIME! LOL...thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love!

HUGS,

Vicki

I Love You

Happy Monday! Hope everyone's weekend was great. I spent the weekend enjoying my kids and grandkids on Friday night...Saturday I finally got to church after missing two weeks because of that cold/flu I had! Sunday was a fab day cause my hubby and I went and spent the day with Stef and her husband! The boys chatted and watched the super bowl and Stef and I shopped and crafted and chatted! We had a blast and time went by so fast. Today it was back to work! But I did have a few cards made up ahead...so here is one of them. The card base on this card was embossed with the Stylized Flowers cuttlebug folder. The heart is an SVG file that I had downloaded and cut on my cricut using the Sure Cuts a Lot software. I stamped the sentiment on the heart with a stamp from the Lil Cupid stamp set from Whimsie Doodles and embossed it with white embossing powder. I had thought this card would make a great Valentine's day card but really it could be used for any occasion. Well it is snowing pretty heavy here tonight and supposed to snow all day tomorrow so we will be covered in a new blanket of white again! Hope you are all doing great...thanks for stopping in today to visit with me. Have a wonderful night and I will see you all a little later.

HUGS!
