It's Your Day/City Crafter Challenge

Hello everyone.  I got some much needed time in my craft room today.  Although it took me a good while to put this one together.  I loved the inspiration picture at City Crafter.  Red ,White, Blue and an optional, Rose.  It wouldn't have been so hard but I don't hardly have any red or blue.  So this is what I came up with.

I sure do miss playing along with the girls at City Crafter.  I am glad I got myself together and got it done.

City Crafter Challenge # 7

Hello everyone.  I am here to share with you my last card as DT at  City Crafter.  I used this adorable digi image from Digi Doodle Shop.  I thought this was the sweetest basket of flowers.  I love the different mix of roses, Lilacs, and Pansies.  June chose the challenge this week which is a button and a bow.

I am still practicing with the Copics.

Don't look too close.  Might have got out of the lines.  hehe

I sure will miss working with the girls at City Crafter.  They all have a wonderful style you definately need to check out.

City Crafter Challenge # 6

Hello again!  It is time for another challenge at City Crafter Challenge Blog and the theme is a recipe.  1 ribbon, 2 papers, and 3 flowers.  I made my card using an adorable vintage image from The Vintage Moth.

I made another pin and decided to use a copper toned one.  What do you think?  I think it looks more vintage with that metal tone.  I also used my tea stained twill that I dyed myself.  I just think I am not into trying to dye seam binding.  That is too much of a mess.  I wouldn't be happy if I have dye everywhere.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI/ Kraft
DP: Cosmo Cricket/ Fly a Kite & Thrift Shop
Image: Vintage Moth
Stamp: PTI/ Big and Bold Wishes
Other: Flowers, Pearls, Hand Dyed Seam Binding

City Crafter Challenge Blog week 5

Hello everyone.  I hope you are ready to play along with me in this Paris inspired challenge this week at CCCB.  Kirsty has a wonderful inspirational photo for you to get your creative juices flowing.

I thought that by turning the card horizontally and placing the DP in the same direction , it really brought out the horizon.  What do you think?  I love it.

I found this clip art picture online and thought is was so pretty with the pinks and blues.

Supplies:

Cardstock: PTI/  Vintage Creme

DP: Anna Griffin, K and Co.

Ribbon: Seam Binding and Twill

Flower: Prima

Other: Buttons, Twine, Vintage Clip Art,

Movie Magic Blog Hop / CCCB #4 and A Whole Lot of Pink

Hello everyone.  I have a big post for you tonight.  I have a card I made with Nina's Vintage Backgrounds set.  You can get it at Gina K.  I also used the digi background paper found Here.  The card is to be based off a favorite movie.  Well guess what mine is?  Rewind back to 1986.....Pretty In Pink!  I have loved that movie since it came out.  I have probably watched it 50 times.

Did you happen to notice that I didn't use any ribbon?  I realized that when I finished.  Sometimes a card is just fine without it.  I didn't feel like it was missing anything.  Do you?

I also made this card for CCCB .  This was my week to host and I chose my favorite colors...PINK.  I was so lucky Leslie from  A Creative Mint let us use her wonderful photograph.  Thank you Leslie.  Please stop by City Crater Challenge Blog and play along.  I would love to see many many pink cards.  hehe.

Supplies:
Cardstock: PTI Vintage Cream
DP: Nina Brackett Digi paper/ Argyle
Stamps: Nina Bracket/Gina K/ Vintage Backgrounds
Inks: Martha Stewart/ Pink Geranium, Stem Green & Memento/ Rich Cocoa
Image: Vintage Image
Pearls: Mark Richards

Thanks so much for all your support here on my blog.  I couldn't do it without all my blog friends and all your wonderful comments!
