COZY

This is the card I made for the inspiration post this week at Scribbles Designs.  This image is called Cozy.  It has already been sent, and received by our Granddaughter-in-law.  She has a beloved dog named Gracie - do you see her name?  She loved the card, and told us that Gracie's favorite spot is on the back of the sofa!  Check out the lovely inspiration photo for the weekly challenge here.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is a freebie available at the Scribbles Store.
I used papers from a DCWV Stack called Teens, and a snippet of ribbon from my stash.  I added a few bones - I have a tiny punch from the $ bin at Michaels!

QKR Stampede #269, ATG-option, Touch of Gold

This is my Design Team card for the weekly Anything Goes challenge at QKR Stampede - with the option of a touch of gold.  You have until 3 pm Thursday, Nov. 16, and you may enter up to 3 times.  There is a separate category for anyone who uses a QKR Stampede or Eureka image.  I will add an anniversary or wedding sentiment later.  You may see a few embossed hearts across the top of the black layer.  I used metallic gold cs for the Majestic Elements (Spellbinders) circle, and a bit of the leftover "negative" of the circle for the strip dividing the cream and black bg layers.  A few half pearls complete the elegant motif.

Herbie Husker for MMTPT

This week the Teapot Tuesday challenge at SplitCoastStampers is to make (and send, if desired) a card for a 10 year old boy whose fight with cancer is not going well. I am running a week behind, but I could not resist making a card befitting his position as a Nebraska Cornhusker fan, even though he lives in TX.  Bensarmom at SCS reminded me that clip art is an available option.  So I found Harry Husker and the Go Big Red slogan on line.  Easy for me, as I am also a great Husker fan!
Recipe:  clip art, washi tape, You embossing folder, red and white cs.

Thanks, Evelyn

This is for a friend who did a favor for me - I left the inside blank so she can in turn give it to someone. The materials, including the image, came from my stash.  I have a folder full of images - some colored, others ready to color.  I selected papers and Prisma colors for the YNS color challenge - blues and greens.  The heart is a Basic Grey chipboard die cut.

Operation Quiet comfort

This is a card I made to add to a group I am sending to Operation Quiet Comfort.  They are requesting patriotic type blank thank you cards (with no glitter).  It is a great cause and I would encourage you to check it out and participate.
This is also my Design Team card for this week's challenge at QKR Stampede.  The theme is Thanksgiving /Thank you.  You may enter up to 3 times by 6pm EST Nov. 24.  Prizes are digi stamps from their shop.
The image and sentiment are both QKR stampede.  The brads and papers are all from my stash.  I used the gold foil seal from a can of International Coffee to back the images.

DT card for Eureka Stamps challenge #196 - "wings"

I really like this penguin trying to stay cool.  When I chose the image, I certainly did not realize that the outside temperature here in Arizona would be a record breaking 115 - the earliest date recorded for that high a temperature!
Before submitting this card to a couple of challenges, I felt I had to verify some facts.  To find out if penguins have feathers and if they qualify as winged creatures, check out this website:  Penguin.net.nz/faq/ .  Among other things you will learn is that penguins do in fact have knees, feathers and wings!
Challenge #196 at Eureka Stamps is "things with wings".  You have until 3pm EDT Sunday to enter as many as 3 times.  You may win some of the Eureka images.
Recipe:  Image, Penguin on Ice; sentiment - Cool birthday - Eureka;  stickles (on the ice); shimmery silver cs by Recollections;  Cuttlebug embossing folder - Diamonds; shiny black gems;  misc DP and dark grey cs;   inspiration - "March of the Penguins"

Quilt for Cherylquilts, MMTPT397

Each week the TeaPot party gang at SplitcoastStampers selects a recipient for cards.  This week our cards will go to Cheryl, aka cherylQuilts at SCS.  She is experiencing some health issues, and we want to send some cheer.  What better than this House Mouse quilting image!  These adorable mice are working on a labor of love  (At least, on paper, the are adorable....)  I have had the image in my WishRAK stash for a very long time - saving a few for special situations. I colored with chalk pencils, and backed with some DP that has also been in my stash for a very long time.  A bit of Washi tape and some cord (ironically, a cast off from our church quilting group!) complete the card.

Eureka Tic-Tac-Toe

This week the challenge at Eureka Stamps is Tic Tac Toe.  I selected the middle row - using twine, embossing, and Washi Tape.  I used the Happy Birthday embossing folder by Embossalicious.  I chose this birthday sentiment, Most Special Day, by Eureka - what a nice birthday sentiment.  The designer paper featuring some tiny hearts is from a pad by Beau Papier.  I selected twine and Washi tape to match the hearts. Hint - I cut tiny notches on the edges of the bg mat to anchor the twine so it will stay in place. The shimmery dark burgundy mat cs is from Clear Bags.  I hope you will check out this challenge at  Eureka - you have until Sunday afternoon to enter.

TeaPot Tuesday #395

I got a large pack of items from Kanban not long ago - lots of great black, cream and gold.  I have had little chance to use them, but decided the look would work with this rooster (Stampin' Up Provencal) - a suggested theme for our TeaPot Tuesday challenge at SplitcoastStampers (Splitcoaststampers - Teapot-Tuesdays-mmtpt395.  The card will go as an RAK to someone who suddenly developed some mysterious, serious health issues.  I doodled some faux stitches on the circle, and added a gold strip and gold ribbon.  The DP is lightly embossed, and I also embossed the black mat layer.

Hearts for LaVerne

This is for encouragement of my friend.  I used a fairly new Unity stamp, and my newest papers - DP by Lily of the Valley, and red cs from a packet of reds I recently purchased.  The border is from a Spellbinder Banner set that is new to me.  I added twine, and colored with chalk pencils and shiny metallic for the flowers.  I embossed the edge of the red mat (Labels).

Christmas 2015 #36 - starry

What an adventure ach time I enter two photos here.  I cannot seem to figure out how to do the layout.  Oh, well - variety adds interest, right?
Stamp by Stampabilities; sentiment by Stampourri; dies - Nestabilities.  The blue cs and shiny star cs are new and all the rest (ribbon star, dp) have been around quite a while. (I hope you can see the stars on the larger bg paper.)

Stencil and pen

The challenge at Paper Pretties is to try a new technique.  I have procrastinated, trying to think of something.  I decided to try a stencil - since I keep forgetting to look for embossing paste, I had hoped I could improvise.  My first couple of tries were not a success!  (I tried Versamark and chalk.)  So I resorted to a pen - still not satisfied, but it will have to do for now.  (How is this new?  These stencils  have been sitting in my drawer for years...I used them a couple of times - embossing with a tool.  I also previously tried using them on the Cuttlebug but I need more work on that as well!0
I also tried dry embossing two layers - the pale teal and the DP - a technique I have used a time or two in the past.
Can you tell I am not really pleased with the result - any suggestions would be appreciated!

Final Love Fest 2014

This card completes an entry for the last of the Love Fest challenges at SplitCoastStampers - though I have some catching up to do on additional entries for a few of the categories.
Supplies:  Costco double sided cs; unnamed stamp; Charm ("faith" by Pizzazz Aplenty; pale green ribbon, half pearls.
Technique:  I used scoring for the horizontal elements at the bottom of the panels - it does not show too well here, however.  I also scored the corners of the sentiment layer.
