365 cards challenges

Happy Saturday.  Hope everyone is warm.  Chilly here, and very high winds.  Last night was snowing and high winds, made for an iteresting drive home. 
I was thrilled to see 365 Cards this week.  A whole week of sketchs.  My fav. Although I only managed to squeeze in to challenges.  I'll save the rest for future reference.  My first is for Day 353- Wednesday Sketch.  This is a new stamp I picked up the other day.  I inked with distress ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then colored with distress inks.  Covered one of the flowers with a mesh and silk flower held on with a brad.  The dots on the paper are dotted with glossy accents to make them stand out.

This card is for Day 352-Tuesday Sketch. 
While I was shopping at the Craft Nook the other day, Lilian pointed out to me Magic Stamp.  Wonderful.  I had to try it when I got home.  So I tried with this stamp.

Here is the magic stamp.  You just heat it with your heat gun, and press your stamp into it. 

Here is the image I came up with. 

Hope everyone has a great weekend. 
DH is planning a night in the hot tub.  Hope I don't turn into an icile on the way to it. 

Happy crafting ;o)

Love Valentines

Happy Monday to everyone.  I'm really trying to stay warm today.  -24 when I got up.  Not much warmer right now.  Hubby turned the stove up in basement last night, but when he turned it back down at bedtime, he turned it off.  A little chilly down there this morning, only 15.  Had to take that new truck up to the bus stop this morning.  I wasn't standing in the cold, when I could be sitting on a heated seat. 

Last night I managed to finish this lovely card for valentines.  It features a lovely flower made from sticky back canvas.  I learned this from Jen McGuire, what a talented lady.(I went back and tried to find the specific post but couldn't. I know she did it for Two Peas and a Bucket)

My card covers four challenges:
Little Red Wagon-#63-Use an envelope
Phindys Place-#38-Valentines
Cute Card Thursday-#147-Monochrome
365 Card-Day 322-Super Sketchy Sunday

Here is the sketch.

Have a great day, and keep warm.

Remembrance Day

I did make it home in time to do a quick post before I'm off to basketball and swimming.  Supper is made and just waiting for the little ones.  I hope everyone has taken just a few moments to reflect today on Remembrance Day.

I discovered last night that I can't craft while that nice new stove is blasting heat on me.  Just way to hot to sit right beside it.  One more reason to push for my new craft area.  Anyway, here is the card I managed to finish. 
The red is embossed with a flower embossing folder.  A piece of gold ribbon tied around, and Deck the Halls stamped along it.  The image is outline gold sticker colored in with watercolor pencils.  My fav to color with.
It fits two challenges:
365 Cards-Day 252-Super Sketchy Sunday
Crafty Card Makers-Spotlight on Dry Embossing

Here is the sketch.

365 Cards

Hello everyone.  I have managed to make two cards though they are the same, but different colors.  These will be for the kids teachers.  I have one more to make for the little guys EA.   Three more days of school.

This card is for 365 Cards-Day 112-Super Sketchy Sunday.

Here is the sketch.

Monday I enjoyed a delicious lunch put on by the teachers, to thank all the parents that help out around the school during the year.  Tuesday was to be Sam's class trip but it was rained out.  Thursday started out rainy but was clear by the time we left for the park. 
This is Sam (in the blue) and her best friend.  The walkway is 15 feet up in the trees.  What an enjoyable afternoon the class had.  They also went on the Big Zip Line the runs over the paddle boat pond. 

Enjoy your weekend. 

Happy Crafting ;o) 

365 Cards

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  We did.  I've been home since Christmas Day, so its been nice.  Sweatshirts and loungie pants is all I've worn.  How relaxing.  I've done a couple of scrapbook pages, a couple cards, and tried to tidy up my area while finding room for all the new stuff.  Hooked up my new laser printer today.  And I've spent the last four days learning how to use my new cell phone.  We had an old one we carried for emergencies.  The kids at work laughed at it, it didn't flip open, it was just one handset,so I would have to lock the keypad so you didn't dial someone when it was in your purse.  Enough about that, on to cards.
I put tegether these little 3-D critters before Christmas, and they were sitting on my work space getting in the way.  I made these cards for 365 Cards-Day 302-Sketchy Sunday. 

Here is the sketch.

365 Cards challenge day 157

This is my take on day 157-Imagine This:Sunflowers. I found this paper last year and just love it. This is the last piece of it that I had, I didn't even have to cut it. I like it when thing work out well.

Have a great day ;)

365 cards challenge day 155

Here is day 155 Super Sketchy Sunday for 365 Cards. As soon as I saw this sketch I thought of a Christmas card. I have no idea why. But here is what I came up with.

This is now Monday evening and the long weekend is finally over. After working all day I'm a bit tired. I at least had yesterday off with the family. I don't know if its been the weather or what, but the cottagers this year have been rather rood. (Well some of the locals too.) Only one more big one to go before the kids are back in school. (My daughter can't wait till school starts again.)

Must go now to get them headed to bed, so I can relax in the quiet.

Have a great evening :)

365 challenge 143 144

Today's cards are for 365 cards challenge 144 You Raise Me Up. To add dimension to my cards I like these 3D images. They are fun to put together. Some added gems are always nice too.

The second one is day 143 Keep it to Yourself : Sympathy. I used the negative image of an outline sticker.

Well the last two days were nice and sunny out. Today I'm back to work and yes it's rainning. Which will make it busy today, because half our population in the summer is cottagers and they can't stay at the cottage when it rains. The thing to do is go grocery shopping. But at least it makes the day go fast.

Chat later :0)

365 challenge day141

This card is for 365 card challenge day 141.

Last night I whipped up 3 versions of this card. Two were sympathy and the third was a get well card that Randy needed for the office.

Have a great day :)

Last night I sat down to make a card for the challenge and ened up making two. I can't believe how fast I can make them now.

The first one is for day 117 one stamp, one sentiment, and the second is day 116 keep it to yourself: wedding card.

Enjoy the day :)
