Pink Relax

Hallo,
Last card from this set for this week I promise but I couldn't resist making a Girly card with the 'Man's View' set - after all we deserve some lounging time in the recliner too!!!!
Check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com
I used the sketch from challenge A again too.
Added pink papers, ribbon, and pink flowers for the 'Pink' challenge.
Well gotta keep it short - house needs cleaning fast so I can get back to finishing the last 3 challenges!!!!
Take Care

Manly relax


Hallo,

On to my second challenge of the week from Flourishes - this one is the sketch challenge. You can check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com
I really like this recliner from the Man's View set!!! I colored it with copics.
I also used a couple Technique Junkie techniques on this card too - a tiny bit of 'out-of-the-box' or in this case out of the circle - and second the squares on behind the main image are a walnut ink resist technique.
This would make a great guy card for Birthday or Father's Day.
All for today - got several cards done today for the challenges this week but not too much else so I guess that means I have to clean house tomorrow before finishing my last 2 challenges.

Hope to see you tomorrow.
Take Care

Framed relax

Hallo,

Finally got some crafting time - yipphheee.

This week is full of challenges from the folks at Flourishes as it is the one year anniversary of their Timeless Tuesday challenges. You can check out all the challenges and what everyone has done with them here - www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com


This card was done for challenge FTTC52E to Frame it up. It uses a stamp set from Flourishes that I just got this week :) called Man's View.
I also tried making a clear card which I haven't done before.






The frame is a spellbinders with brown paper and I rubbed it with gold mettalic.
The main image is colored with copics and colored pencils, edged with gold mettalic pen.
Well all for today - headed out to take DD to get her Learners permit - aaakkkk. And then to DS's swim meet.

Mo's purple gamer

Hallo,
Well I have finally entered the world of Digital Stamps. A friend of mine told me about Mo's Digital pencil....well lets just say I went, I shopped, and shopped, and shopped.....
Go see what I mean - http://www.digitalpenciltoo.com/
This digital of the girl playing a video game soooo reminds me of DD and friends....
I used this last weeks challenge from Flourishes to use the letter P - which of course for me usually means PURPLE. You can check out what everyone else did here - http://www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/ Better late than never I guess.

I also used a sketch from CPS and believe it or not its this weeks sketch as in it was posted today - glory is short lived though as this is a BD card for my Niece who's Birthday is today which means the card is going to be LATE.....
Check out the CPS sketch here - http://www.cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com/

The main image waas colored with copics - and a smidge of white gel pen and cut with nesties.
All for today - another Mo for you tomorrow.

Hallo

Hallo everyone,
Hopefully I am back to former organization levels or better(and if you believe that...). It took me longer to catch up after being out of town for 2 weeks than I expected.
I have been doing some yard work - preparing for the flowers I ordered.
This weekend I got the patio cleaned and my potting bench cleaned out.
The back yard still needs some weeds pulled and stuff but should get to that later this week.
This photo shows a corner of my patio that I arranged as my sittin' spot. It gets the most sun in the afternoon in spring which is perfect and then come summer the fake trees will help shade. The 2 orchids and the cactus are real. I lost all 8 of my orchids to the cold snap we had a few weeks ago. Lucky for me these 2 were on sale on Base so I grabbed them (I even remembered to bring them in last night as its going to get too cool for them again the next couple days).
All for today - I did get a couple cards done to show you the next couple days (I work the next 2 days).
Take Care
Tera

Home Sweet Granny

Hallo,
Just a fun little card I did yesterday to send to my Mom. Mom is doing very well after her knee replacement but I couldn't resist making her this card. Mom is still using a walker and the white hose Granny is wearing are the compression stockings they have to wear for a few weeks after surgery.
My Mom looks much younger than this Granny does by the way!!! And yes I colored her slipper pink to match Mom's favorite slipper from a couple posts ago (although Grannys look in alot better shape than Mom's :).

Granny, the walker and the Home Sweet Home picture are all from Hanna stamps and the rest of the stamps are from Papertrey Ink.
Granny, the walker and the pictures are all colored with copics. The wood floor I drew in and colored with prismacolor pencils.
The couches are paper pieced, and the pictures on the wall and Granny are all stamped on white paper and layered on top - Granny with foam tape to pop her up a bit.
Last but not least I went with a challenge from Flourishes this week to create a scene. See what everyone else has done here - http://www.flourishesnewsletter.blogspot.com/




All for tonight - Have a great weekend!!!!
