Freshly Made Sketches #669 and NBUS #70

I was trying to figure out what to do for Freshly Made Sketches when I spied a card I made earlier for one of my family valentines.  As I looked at it, I could see the sketch.  I hope the gals at FMS do too.

This is a new stamp from Penny Black called Stole my Heart. It's stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs.  The sentiment is from SSS.  Since this is the first outing, I'm also sending my card to NBUS #70.

Thanks for dropping by.

ETA:  At Loll's suggestion, and because I was originally going to post this there, I'm sending my card to Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Merry Christmas to All!

I have a number of cards I made that never got posted so I thought I'd put some of them here today to wish you all a Merry Christmas. 

I made several using Penny Black's Immense Joy and other PB images. 

I like the JOY so much I got NOEL too.

If you need the particulars of any image or design feature, just let me know. 

Have a wonderful holiday!

Double D - Christmas Animals

I have a number of Penny Black Christmas animal stamps so I pulled one out for the challenge at Double D.

It gave me a chance to do some alcohol marker coloring and heaven knows I need practice.  I cut the kitty with a circle from MFT and then cut a larger circle in red to frame it out..  The sentiment is from the same set. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope you take time to stop the busyness and enjoy the season.

52 Christmas Card Throwdown 22-32

I got some stamps from a friend and decided to use one for the challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  They want CAS one layer cards.  I love CAS.  One layer not so much but it was easy with this stamp from Penny Black. 

I colored this gift toting cat with PolyChromos pencils and added a sentiment from Newton's Nook. 

Thanks for dropping by.  How is your Christmas cardmaking going?

Time Out #126

It's time to start making valentines and Time Out has given us a push in that direction with their "Loving' challenge.

The sentiment and image courtesy of Penny Black.  I used my PolyChromos to color the little cat who is so happy to receive her valentine.

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

Addicted to CAS #134

It's time for a new challenge at Addicted to CAS and our host Anja has chosen as her code word:

I had to go searching for a stamp that I could use for this challenge and I found one in a set by PB.

I colored it with Zigs and popped it up on fun foam over a panel embossed with a bubble folder.  I also added some Pico Embellisher to the bubbles.  It's difficult to tell in the photo which also washed out that little mouse who is really gray.

How does the word "bubbles" inspire you?  We hope you'll make a card after you check out the Design Team cards.  You may be the winner of a $20 gift voucher from Happy Little Stampers.

Little Red Wagon #419

Little Red Wagon has a harvest theme this week and although I have all my Thanksgiving cards done I had to enter since my card was featured in last week's challenge.

The PB image was colored with Inktense pencils and mounted on some paper to match the ribbon.

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

Just Us Girls #300

As you can see from the title of my post, Just Us Girls is celebrating a milestone - 300 challenges. Appropriately enough, the Word Week cue is "Congratulations".  What do you do when you want to congratulate someone?  I think sending flowers might be in order.

Since I've been gone, I only looked at the challenge a short time ago and there was a little over an hour left before the linky closed.  Fortunately I had colored this Penny Black stamp while playing with my Ziggies (Zig Clear Brush Pens as dubbed by Laura Bassen).  I cut it with a SSS stitched square and mounted it with fun foam after stamping the PTI sentiment in HA Silver. Congratulations, Just Us Girls!  May you have many more challenges for us to have fun with.

Thanks for stopping by.
