Thanks for stopping by!

Tim Holtz September Tag!!

Well, I am still have to catch up and complete April-August's tags, but I was inspired early this morning to complete Tim's September tag.  Using his new stencils, which are very cool, I made this tag!  Love the layering and the embossing paste!!

A Tim Holtz Tag to share!

I love making Tim Holtz's monthly tags. 

However, like all my scrapbooking this summer - I am slowly creeping along with projects! 

This is the tag for March!!  I still have a long way to go but I love how this one turned out.

 

Summer Online Card Class - at the end of the summer!

Well, I wasn't able to participate in the class as we were on holidays.  I did some of the cards - here is what I accomplished!!

Summer Card Camp! Week 1 Day 1

I pretty much copied the first card we made in class. I enjoy having the supplies and creating my own.  I changed up the circle that the bee is on and I coloured it differently.  It was fun to pull out the vellum and emboss it.  Love the result, often forget.. The stamps and die cut are all from Simon Says Stamp.  The embossing folder is one of Tim Holtz.

Kraftin Kimmie Challenge

This week's challenge at Kraftin Kimmie is "Guns and Roses" - metal and roses.  Here is a wedding card I created.  The image is from Kraftin Kimmie and coloured with copics. I also used a bit of liquid pearls. The metal is from Tim Holtz.  The flowers are prima and the pp is from Magnolia Stamps.  Thanks for looking!!

Another Pre-Challenge for Online Card Class

I made this card using 4/5 of the colours given to us for the challenge.  I used Simon Says Stamps' mini envelope die and stamp set for the images and sentiment.  Thanks for stopping by!

Pre-class challenge for the Online Card Class

Here's another card based on a sketch in the pre-class Online Card Class that starts on Monday.  Love this stamp set, Stinkin' Cute', from Simon Says Stamp.  The die cuts are from Simon Says Stamp, too.  I used shaded lilac distress ink and after midnight dylusions ink spray. I coloured the images with copics and spica markers.

Mojo Monday Sketch (July 1st)

Here is my Mojo Monday sketch from July 1st.  It is based on a sketch and I used a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, coloured with copics and a little Ranger Rock Candy.  Thanks for stopping by!

Retirement card for a colleague!

I made this card based on a card done in the online card class in the spring.  

I used watercolour paper and copics with a water brush to blend the colours.  

The stamps are from Hero Arts.

A second card for Kraftin' Kimmie's guest design team place!

Here, I decided to use some grunge and layer a tag and card with Tim Holtz's ink.  From there, I distressed the edges and made 2 of his rosettes with glossy accents on the centres.  The sentiment is stamped on one of his glass tiles in navy staz-on ink.  Using Tim's pp, I die cut his weathered clock and added it behind the tag. I coloured the Kraftin Kimmie image with copics and added some rhinestones on her cap.

Kraftin' Kimmie card

I finally posted!
This card was coloured with copics, 2 Kraftin' Kimmie stamps, Tim Holtz die for the grass, Kelly Purkey stamps for the sentiment and sun.  Glossy accents and Kaisercraft rhinestones.
Thanks for looking!

Kraftin' Kimmie Tic Tac Toe Challenge

 

I created this card by airbrushing with copics over a stencil, where I outlined and coloured in some of the areas with a black liner and spica pens.  I coloured Marilyn with copics and the flowers are prima.

The challenge was to use three things on the tic tac toe card - I used blue, gems and flowers.

 

It was uploaded to SplitCoastStampers and I was picked to be one of the fav's for the week!!

How cool! My first card posted at SCS!!
