It's A Beautiful Life! {Doodle Pantry New Release}

Happy Tuesday All..Today we have a brand new challenge starting over at Doodle Pantry.  Which means new releases too!!  First let's talk about the challenge..It's a sketch this time.  You may use any digital iamge you'd like and follow this sketch..Notice there's a simple and fancy version.

The image I chose to use for the new release is called Morning Glory and is one of 4 new sets that are now available.  I used the simple sketch but turned it sideways.  The design paper I used is from DCWV.

Be sure to check out all the DT's inspirational samples.  The links are in my sidebar.  Thank you and have a great Tuesday!!

D2D's Fallin' In Love

Good afternoon! I'm here to show you a card that I made last night. My sister Kris and I made up a challenge that we use this image 'Falling In Love' from D2D in less than an hour. This one took me about 45 minutes.

I followed the sketch that my niece Carly created. She has several on her new blog Sketches by Carly. Here is the one I used...


I also made the snow that this cute little Polar bear is sitting on. I took 2 styrofoam balls and rubbed them together and Viola!! The dp is from DCWV. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Be sure to hop on over to Kris' blog to see what she came up with. Also you might wanna take a peek at Carly's sketch blog and look there too. Thank you *Ü*

Swinging La La!

Happy Thursday everyone!! I'm glad you stopped by today. I made this card with my new La La stamps. I just love these, they are so cute. Besides purple, pink and green are one of my favorite color combos, so I used it for La La. If you haven't been by La La Land Crafts shop lately, you should really go take a peak. Irina has her own line of stamps that she drew herself. All the Marci's and Luka she hand drew. There are a couple of those stamps available in digi form right now in the store. Sweet Dreams Marci as well as Pirate Luka (going away very soon). So hurry on over and get yours. The whole line will be released on September 15 in rubber form.

For this card, I used the dp from Cosmo Cricket 'DeLovely'. I added a touch of flourish from a sizzix die I have and then added 2 pearls and some ribbon.

Bubbletime Sophia - It's Your Day! Spoil Yourself Silly

Good Morning!! Doesn't a nice warm bath sound good about now? It would sure warm me up from the cold, cold weather! Sophia is enjoying her bath along with her rubber ducky. This is the new SOTM from Paper Pretties. Isn't she cute? I used the sketch from the weekly challenge from Paper Pretties. Instead of an oval, I used a square-ish shape. So sorry about the picture being off. I'm getting used to Paint.net again.

My sister, Kris, and I often have sister challenges. So when we got this new stamp, we decided to put it to the test and see what we come up with. You can see hers on her blog here, as well as the Paper Pretties gallery. She has her own tutorial on the reverse tent topper card. Be sure to check it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by! God Bless:)

SSCC #18 - Sketch

Happy Sunday!! Can you believe Christmas is almost here:) It's going to be a busy week for a lot of people! I know it will for me. Last minute shopping and baking. Welcome to another challenge week at Stampin' Sisters In Christ.

Thanks to all of you who participate in our challenges. I am honored to be the hostess for this week. So as I was thinking about the challenge, it dawned on me how busy our lives are going to be this week. So here it is...

The Challenge: is to make a card using this sketch below. That's it, simple and easy huh??

Verse: The verse I chose is from Luke 1:26-32. Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was.
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
"And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. "He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

I know it's long but I wanted to pick a verse that depicted the birth of Jesus. One that goes with the upcoming Holiday.

Sponsor: Our sponsor this week is the wonderful Anne House. She is offering a 3 month subscription to AFP/SNR magazine. That's great, Thanks Anne.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a safe Holiday.

Merry Christmas!!

The Sweet Stop Challenge!

Hi All!! I feel like I'm on a roll with all these cards I'm making:) It's nice to be in my craft room and just create. I'm so glad I had the day off today to do that. I made this card for the Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge. Following a sketch is my favorite thing to do when it comes to making a card. Of course I do like to follow a recipe, and other challenges, but the sketch ones are for me!!

I made this one using the SSS32 Sketch. I used SU c.s. and some dp I had around. The image is from SNSS digi that was a free one not too long ago. I love this one, he's so cute. Thanks Korin for making him available. So that about wraps it up for me today.

Have a super week! Thanks for stopping by:)

SSCC #12 - John 15:13

Good Morning All!! Happy Sunday to you. Today starts another challenge week over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ. I hope you all get a chance to come take a look at the wonderful samples made by the DT.
Here is my creation...

I used a digi (flying high Ridley)that I got from Digital Delights and colord him in using SU markers. I'm still new to watercoloring and such it took a couple tries. The sketch I used is from this weeks Mojo Monday challenge.

The sponsor for this week is none other than Paper Pretties. Christie is donating a wonderful stamp set "Made with Love", go check out all the neat stuff over there.

Our hostess for this week is the wonderful and talented Candace. The scripture she chose for us this week is from John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

The challenge is to make a card/project for our 'Heroes'. For more info click here.
Also, please visit the SSCC blog for more info as well.

It's amazing what our men and women in the military do for our country. They truly are 'Heroes' in my book. So it's wonderful that we can take a moment and reflect on what they do for us so that we can keep living in a Free country and worshiping our wonderful God.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day!
