Have you gotten your image from Hambo for this weeks challenge? Did you play last week? If not you can buy this weeks image from the Hambo store and play to get your free image next week. This week it is a cute basket just plum full of hearts. A nice sentiment is included with the image. The requirements...use both image and sentiment, add some lace and flowers. Here is my card; For the lace I used a paper doily that I distressed with Tim Holtz tea dye distress ink. I also used this on all the dp and card stock papers used. My flower is one from my stash I bought at Hobby Lobby. Oops, can you see the drip on the top heart. I forgot I had added more glossy accent. Oh well, it'll look great after it dries. Some hearts have the glossy accent, some stickles. Happy Crafting, Shirley G

Happy Monday Challenge has a new challenge-Fellowship. The challenge is to make a card for an elderly person you know. They, like us all, need to have people checking in on them. So my card is a HI card, using a Deedee image. The sentiment I made from Microsoft Word. I colored the flowers with Copics and the buterfly with Sharpies and Bic markers. Stop your elderly neighbor and just say HI! Happy Crafting, Shirley G

It was a good card day yesterday. Here is a group picture, then I'll break it down per challenge. First I forgot to include a pinwheel card I made...:( It is pretty to! The bottom two and the pink/black one on the right are not for challenges. Well, the brown one could be OWH mid week monochromatic challenges as well as the Sunday's sketch challenge. OK two of them aren't challenge related. I CASEd Dixie on the upper right one. First challenge...KING Hambo ! I didn't have a cuttlebug embossing folder I wanted to use, so I scored the yellow paper on my Martha Stewart scor board in a diamond design. The purple heart button is a glitter button that I sealed with Glossy Accents. Got that tip from Yolanda's blog. Thanks Yolanda!! The next challenge is for D2D - Bullfrogs and Butterflies. When I first saw this, I thought blue and yellow for the flowers. Why? I don't know, it kinda looks "Dutch" to me, now that it's done. But I like it.  I added the ...

Good Monday Morning to all my peeps! I know, if you work outside of the home, what's good about a Monday  morning?  :-)  I have an appointment with a temp service this morning to finish my paperwork and interview with them. SO I'm hoping by next week I will be a "complainer" of Monday mornings! Say a prayer for me that they find me a job ASAP! I NEED one like yesterday. Okay enough about me...here are my two cards for today; Hambo has an adorable Ogre for their challenge this week. We were to distress the paper. I really didn't use any paper per say on my card. But I distressed the edges of the card and the sentiment. I think I should have used paper.... The flower stamps were from a package I won...I'm sorry I forgot from whom I won them! He's colored with Bic markers. And the sentiment came with the Ogre. My next challenge with with D2D for this weeks progressive challenge. Faith included a white png image that you can layer over digital pa...

I do...well I remember falling on my behind more than I made it around the rink! Ahh the good times. IASC has two new images out today and I have made some cards playing with those awesome images...here they are. She is colored with bic markers for the most part. I used a star vellum paper over a very light yellow to bring out the stars on the image. I'm not thrilled with the way I did these stars, though. I need to learn the motto-less is more! The second image is just a fun to play with. I love how this card turned out. I copied the sketch from another blogger named Jan . I love her cards. You will too if you check out her blog. I had to research how skates were/are colored...hmm I just aged myself, didn't I? LOL  Anyway I love tan and turquoise together. I hope you enjoy it also. IASC blog is here  and to get these awesome images they are here in the store. There is a sale on some of the discontinued images for a short time. Go check it out! Happy Crafti...

I have three challenges for you today, all so different and all so much fun to do. Lets start with MelJen ...the challenge #54 is to use 3 colors (check), 2 different dp (check) and a ribbon (check). I just love this little image. I sparkled him up a bit with some stickles and glossy accent on his heart. The next challenge is for Scrap-Creations:Going Grey . They have a sketch to follow. Pretty neat sketch, I'm sure I will be using it a lot. And lastly Dude Time Doodles has another freebie (Jethro Jug) and challenge. What a hoot is this image. If you haven't grabbed it yet, ya better before it's gone. I did a google search for "hillbilly" sayings. Fun! hmm I might be a hillbilly! :) In case you don't speak "hillbilly" ... "yont-tu= You want to "shindig"= party "spell"= for awhile Oh my...yep I'm a hillbilly! Hope you enjoy all the cards. Go check out the challenges while they are still going. Happy Crafti...

There's a new challenge at Dude Times ...for a few more hours. It's their April sketch challenge. I choose Rough Night Rodney for my image, also a BDD image. For their challenges you can use any image you want as long as it's for the Dude in your life or another dude...my card will go to OWH. But really we all can relate to this one in one way or another! I know I can...coffee first then conversation. Here's the sketch they had to use; Happy Crafting, Shirley G
