Let's Talk!

Good morning everyone! I do hope you all survived your Monday. Mine was like a rollercoaster, lol. Well, it is groundhogs day today ... cloudy and rainy. No shadow for our 'hog' to see ... hmmm.. what does that mean :)??? Ugh! Tommy has to have the mole cut off of his back today ((a mole.. on groundhogs day...)) and I have to talk Hannah to dance, so he will be braving that alone. I cant stand to be cut on in any way... so please say a prayer for him. Also pray that the results come back saying it was nothing.

DON'T FORGET!!! I have a sketch challenge going on. IF you participate, you automatically get a FREE FBD BUG IMAGE of your choice. All the rules and details are HERE. More bugs for you to see are HERE. Hope to see you play along :o)

ICS, TGF and FBD

Good Morning everyone. This post is going to be super short and sweet ... straight to the deets!!! I was up all night with a sick little boy .. fever, puking and all that lovely stuff. Sounds like we are headed to the Dr. soon. It looks like it may be strep :(.


These cards are both created using this weeks ICS sketch. ICS is also having a DT CALL so be sure to stop in for all the details on that!!! The first card follows the sketch more directly. I used the Greeting Farm image for the second day of the CHA Challenge. I have enjoyed using these cuties!!! The BG paper is by American Craft, the sent was printed with word and all the other goodies are RAKed or scraps. This card also meets the rules for the Pink Elephant Challenge: bow, pink, and dots.


Fresh Brewed Designs is the sponsor again this week at Inspirational Card Sketches. I decided to use my to be released in February, Hannah Belle Fishing. I promised you that it would be an image that told you something about my little Hannah. She is such an animal lover and hates all things hunting, fishing and all that. She is a 'part time' vegetarian ... :o) . When she was younger and went fishing with my Granny ~ she went to the bucket and threw them all back. Just like me when I was little. I even felt sorry for the poor worms .... see how I drew them happily draped on the hooks ... not stabbed;). lol This card is also going to be entered into the Stamp Something Friday Challenge: Giggle or funny



Both cards are colored with prismacolor markers, copics, and bic markers. The Hannah card was all decked out with shimmer. Her suit has stickles on it and the water was painted with a mix of pearl ex powder and Plaid Gems paint on glitter.

I hope you have a wonderful day. Be sure to stop by tomorrow for the Tellen's Place Blog Hop!!

Follow Your Dreams

That is exactly what I was doing when I started creating these digis. I was following a dream. I have wanted to create stamps for the longest time. I LOVE cardmaking and stamps .. but something was missing, that need to create what was in my head :) lol. So, I am glad that I can start with my digis and hopefully be able to take it a step further some day.

This card is for this weeks DARLING sketch at ICS this week. I have to tell you I LOVE each and every one of Dawn's sketches, don't you? I have no idea how she creates so many fun and wonderful ones. And guess how our sponsor this week is? ME!!! My shop, Fresh Brewed Designs, will be awarding a lucky winner $10 to spend at my shop:). I hope many of you get to play along:). I used one of my to be released tomorrow Hannah Belle images, Hannah Belle Bedtime. She will be available at my shop, Fresh Brewed Designs, tomorrow. She is colored using copic skin tones ( I ran out of my skin white :( boo hoo! ) my sweet sister bought me this one on a whim while she was out of town (they do not sell them near me) So this Hannah is a little darker than my usual style, but I still think she is darling. I love the color and think it will blend well with a lighter skin tone as well ... just gotta get one :). I used Colorbok double sided paper to create the rest of the card and her dress, the base cardstock is by Bazzil.

Be sure to stop by TOMORROW starting around 8 AM. I am having a blog hop full of fun. There will be a winner at each hop stop, a 2nd runner up and a grand prize winner. I am also having a sketch challenge, another way to win an image ... with a little twist that I am not sharing with you right now, you will have to come back tomorrow to see how you are GUARANTEED to WIN an image :).

Challenges: Stamp, Scrap and Doodle: Girly

Too Sweet Tuesday

It's time again for one of Dawn's gorgeous ICSketches!!! I loved creating with this one. I have been having computer issues:( and have not had my printer hooked up to print anything. ANYTHING!!! So, what do you do when you can't print? You stamp!!!! I was actually excited to get out my ink again and stamp this darling Spunkette (that can be found/purchased at Susanna's Custom Art and Card Design) I got from my generous and loving friend Jenn. I LOVE this little girl and had SO much fun creating with her. I used DCWV glitter stack along with scraps for this card. She is colored with prismacolor markers, copics, and decorated with stickles. Her skirt is stickled and sprinkled with Martha Stewart Crystal Fine Glitter.

I hope you get the chance to visit us and play along over at ICS this week.

Have a blessed day.

Challenges: The Pink Elephant: Birthday
Crazy 4 Challenges: Birthday

ICS, TPE, and BBB

WOW!!! I could not think of a title, so I abbreviated everything this post holds :). lol!

Welcome back to ICS. It was nice to have a little break. I spent a lot of time with the kids and did not make very many cards the past two weeks, so I guess now i am making up for lost time!!! I admit when Tuesday rolled around this past week I did sort of a panic thinking I had forgotten :/. Whew, was I ever relieved when I checked the DT blog out! Anyway, Dawn has started the New Year off with another amazing sketch. This one is so fun!!! I really enjoyed working with it and I know you will too. I {stamped} for this one ((don't fall out, I know I have been using tons of digis lately)). It was fun getting out my stamp pad, even for just a sentiment or 5? lol! (you will see as you go through the post where the 5 comes in).

I chose to use a Stampabilities stamp for this card. I know this past year how much God has been there for me and my family. I am not much of a 'New Year's' resolution committer. I feel that a new year is just that, a new year and nothing but a date change. It does not magically change the past or take away the other year. Every year near the end almost everyone is ready for it to be gone and to start new. I feel that this 'year' instead of waiting for the new, I will do all I can to praise God and love him and thank him every day, no matter what is going on, no matter what year it is. He deserves it all. I am inscribed on the palm of his hand. He died for me. I am so unworthy, but he loves me so much. I can not wait until the day when I can look upon his face and just hug him. I know right now I probably would not make him proud, I have a lot to change and lots of room to grow. So, no resolutions for me, just a stronger commitment to God and to love him wholeheartedly.

This card was supposed to be also for The Pink Elephant Recipe challenge ... but I FORGOT THE SNOWFLAKES!!! doh!!! Well, back to the drawing board :)

This card is for The Pink Elephant: 3 buttons, 2 DP and SNOWFLAKES!!!

Have a wonderful week everyone!!! I hope you get the chance to stop back in for the BUSY BEAUTIES BLOG HOP on the 7th of January. You will not be disappointed!!! Wait until you see the cuties she has in store :)!! EeEEEeeeeEEEee! so fun!!!

Sisters

Good Morning! Are you ready for another Inspirational Card Sketch? This one is one you will not want to miss. Not only is the sketch absolutely gorgeous, we have a very generous prize sponsored by The Stamping Botique. Hop on over to ICS for all the details.

I was given the chance to choose one of their darling images to work with this week. You all knew that when given the option, I would choose a coffee themed one, right? :) This darling Jennifer Latte jumped out at me and just asked to be used for my card this week. I LOVE her. She reminds me of my stick skinny sister who is beautiful and loves coffee almost as much as I do. :) The paper was RAKed to me and I am not sure who makes it . I think it may be DCWV, but am not 100% sure. I colored her with my prismacolor markers, bic markers and copics. Funny I used so many different ones on an image that took little coloring :). The stickles added the extra pretty sparkle making this sassy girl stand out even more. She really makes me smile. I will be giving this to my sister with her Christmas gift this year. (OK, Becky, I KNOW we are strictly sticking to the name drawing this year ... but what I have for you does not count, so don't freak :) OK :) It is little...)

I am off to get the kids on to another subject. Be sure to to stop by ICS for full details on the sketch and prize.

Tomorrow I am having another Fresh Brewed Designs image release Blog Hop. This one is my biggest yet but still not too big that it will be overwhelming to complete. :) These ladies are just the sweetest and you are sure to be inspired by their talent. On top of that there are many prizes to be won. Be sure to mark your calendar and come back tomorrow!!!

ICS and News

Good Morning. Can you believe it is December already? WOW!!! First I want to share the name of the winner of the free image i offered during my Snow Buddy release this weekend. the winner is Jenn from http://customcreationsbyjenn.blogspot.com/, Congratulations!!! Email me and I will send you your image of choice right away!

I am so happy I had time to get in my ICS card this week ... almost on time. Things have not been so normal around here. Some of you know our dog of 12 years is sick. We can not find what is causing her problem. Her abdomen continues to fill with fluid, lots of it, and we have had to have her drained once, and will have to do the same thing today. They said if it happens again they said that the prognosis could not be good and we would have to make some major decisions. Some I am not ready to make at all. I will not get into this any more, just had to share a little so you would know why I have not been on as much the past week or so. **edited** Daisy is home, but they think she is having fluid from either right sided heart failure or has a tumor that is leaking fluid. We have to take her back Friday unless something happens between now and then. I just can't think about what to do if they can't do anything to help her. It breaks my heart to look at her**



Dawn really created another amazing sketch. This one is so fun!!! i loved the scallop and the circles. They just SCREAMED snowman to me! I guess I am on a kick though :). This sweet snowman is a wonderfully fun, jolly, warm and sweet kind of fellow. I love him!!! My beautiful and talented friend Carolyn created this little guy and will be releasing him on Dec 3 to her Busy Beauties shop ... AND we are having a hop that day, so be sure to come back to see all the yummy images she and Thomas have created for our pleasure. You really do not want to miss these. They are absolutely darling and will be the PERFECT addition to your holiday images but are so versatile they can be used for any occasion. Just wait, you'll see! :)

I colored this little guy with prismacolor markers, sparkled him with stickles, layered him over RAKed paper from my beautiful friend Carol and used a fiscars punch for the side scallop.

I am off for some coffee and to take a break (giving away the fact that I am typing this and setting it up to post in the morning) Thanks for taking the time to stop by. Have a blessed day! And don't forget about the hop!!!!!

I am entering this card to the Spoon Full of Sugar: non traditionally Christmas colors, the Digital Tuesday: Christmas Sparkle challenge, Creative Card Crew: Christmas

ICS 44

So sorry I am late again this week. What is up with me? I have been battling a sick dog for the past week. We have taken her to a few vets and called a few more, but they can not seem to pinpoint the problem. :(. So I just wait. Thank you to Stacy and Callie and some other wonderful friends who have offered help and advice. I have been trying all of it!

On to my card. I made this card using Dawn's very fun and cute sketch #44. I love it!!! I really do plan to use this one again this week for another card I hope to have time to make.

Do you love this image as much as I do?? I think it is the CUTEST reindeer ever!!! i smiled from ear to ear when I first saw him. Want to know where I got him ... I will tell you!!! :D However, you will have to wait for him. He is a new Busy Beauties Boutique image, created by my very talented friend Mrs. Carolyn bounds, that will be available soon. We are having a hop, fun, and lots of cards to share with you that day!

I colored him with my prismacolor markers, stickles and added rhinestones. The colors I chose were red, brown and kraft for the challenge at The Little Paper Shop.

Hope you all are having a great week and have a blessed Thanksgiving.

Let's Talk Turkey

Good Morning! Are you ready for another one of Dawn's amazingly gorgeous sketches? I had a lot of fun with this one. Her layouts are always so fun and inspiring to create with. I chose to use Tom Turkey for this card. I plan to send this one to my Granny. I remember all of the wonderful thanksgivings we all had together, all the laughs and fun. She is also a coffee addict, so I know she will laugh and appreciate this card.

When I look at Tom I think many things. His eyes all bugged out because he has drank way too much coffee, he is terrified to sleep, becuase he knows that as soon as he did, Farmer Sam (or Carolyn;) would have his head. Literally. OK, I will hush before I make myself sick and am unable to eat turkey on Thanksgiving day myself *grin*.

I used all RAKed paper, old buttons, CB tile and Houndstooth folders, Martha Stewart leaf punch and prismacolor markers for this card.

I am submitting this card to the Stamptacular Sunday challenge #33: Turkey Time

SO LATE!!!!!

I am going to keep this short and sweet .. mainly because it is late and I have a lot to do and Hannah wants to play on my computer since Tommy Ray is playing on the other computer. Did that sentence even make sense? I am so behind on posting my ICS card it is not even funny! Forgive me ICS gals! I had computer issues on Monday night on into Tuesday. Today I have been busy and just have not had time. My pastor went into the hospital late last night and is still being kept for observation and testing. Please remember him in your prayers. Thank you. He and his family mean so much to me. He has prayed and been there for me and so many others countless times and now he really needs our prayers.

This challenge is being sponsored by the Greeting Farm. I got to choose a digi for this card and MAN WAS THAT HARD!!! They are all just so cute! I went with one I thought Hannah would like as well and chose Ivy Christmas Tree. Isn't she sweet?!?! I colored her with my prismacolor markers and added patches of stickles on the snow. The paper is by? I have so much scrap I really never know what I am using (therefore I usually do not have a list for you :( sorry!!) I was able to snag this fun Martha Stewart punch set at AC Moore for 40% off this weekend. I love it!!! So fun!

Well, that is about all I have for you today. Be sure to pop back in Friday for my Image Release Party!!! There will be lots of fun and inspirational cards and a fun challenge or two to keep you busy. Did I forget to mention PRIZES!?!?! Mark your calendar and plan to spend part of your day with me and my girls :). AND Saturday I am participating in the Operation Write home Blog Hop where i will be offering a prize from my shop AND a prize from Busy Beauties so mark your calendar for that as well!!!

Can't wait to see you then! :)

I {heart} digis!!!

This week I was able to work with 2 adorable digital images from 2 wonderful companies. The sponsor for ICS this week is DigiStamp Botique. CUTE!!!!!!! Let me tell you! I fell in love. It was so hard to choose which I wanted to showcase on my ICS card this week. This one reminded me of the love and happiness of Christmas. Isn't it just darling. It is called Alex and Felicity Xmas Kiss. I really fell in love with Dawn's sketch this week and had the most fun creating this card. I used a glue pen and drew around edges, the decorative border and the frame of the image then added sparkly glitter. the papers are all RAKed to my by my friend Carol. I colored these sweeties with my primacolor markers and my skin copics. The snowflake embellishment was cut from my cricut: accent essentials.

This second card is for Papertake weekly. This is my last card for them as a guest designer. I feel so blessed to have been able to create for them and be a part of their wonderful challenge blog. I met some beautiful new friends along the way too :). Thank you, Dawny, for giving me this opportunity. This weeks challenge is a sketch. I loved the layout and really wanted to stick with a simple card this week. The sponsor is another wonderful company, Lily Boo's Botique. I had a mix up and thought it was, DigiSparkle and I apologize. I know the design team created some darling cards with her images. I have used them in the past and really love her style. Her girls are beautiful and the image the DT used for their cards is just so sweet! Speaking about digis in general, I find them so versatile and so fun! Forgive me for the mix up and be sure to hop over to Papertake Weekly and see all of the darling creations the ladies have made over there:).

I do hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. Mine had been unusually good :). Mondays do not tend to be that way around here... ever.

Please do not forget to mark your calendars for my blog hop and image release this Friday for Fresh Brewed Designs. I can't wait!!! :) It will be a fun and simple hop so be sure to try to be a part of that with us. I think you will enjoy it.

S.S.S.

What does S.S.S. stand for you might ask? They all have to do with the cards I am sharing with you today. The Sketch (for Inspirational Card Sketches), Spots and Stripes (for Papertake Weekly).
I will share with you my Sketch first. Dawn has yet again knocked my socks off with this gorgeous sketch! I LOVED working with it. I chose to use my newly released snow buddy image called Kiss ME!!! for this card. I think they are just too sweet. His cheeks are chalked with a bright pink, but the light outside washed it out and you can no longer see him blushing :(. Oh well, at least you can imagine it, right? I ran my burgundy paper through my cuddle bug using the swiss dots folder. My image is colored with prismacolor markers, a blue copic and glossy accents on the boots. I used a Martha Stewart leaf punch to create the wreath.

My second card is for Papertake Weekly. I am so honored to be a guest designer there and to have met some wonderful new friends! Thank you for having me Dawny. It has been wonderful!!! The challenge this week is to use stripes and spots. I have been wanting to play with my Corny Family image again so this challenge was perfect! I used my prismacolor markers to color them. I cut the sweet little ghost out and popped him with a foam dot. I also covered him in ice stickles to really make him shine. The Moms hair screamed to be covered in fun flock. It looks much better in person. The little spiders were cut using my cricut. I thought it would be fun to give them all mismatched (or mickmacked as my kids say) eyeballs. The sent is from a set by Martha Stewart.

I am also submitting this candy corn to the Cute Card Thursday : which is Candy Corn Challenge (or a sweet treat :) )

I really enjoyed making these cards this week. I hope they make you smile. Be sure to check out both challenges and all of the AMAZING design team creations.

It's a Beautiful day of Sketches

I have 2 cards to share with you again this week. My ICS card and my guest Designer PapertakeWeekly card. I chose to use 2 of my beautiful friend Carolyn's images from Busy Beauties. I LOVE them!!!: ) These girls are just toooo cute and are so fun to color. I loved watching them take their personalities and come to life.

First is my ICS card. Dawn's sketch is just wonderful. It just screamed Strawberry Lolita:)!!! i had to tweak it a little bit to fit my image. I used paper from paperazzi as well as a cardboard sticker embellie. I colored her with my prismacolor markers and skin copics. (I went to see the BEAUTIFUL cards our DT made at ICS and just realized that I forgot to use my Doodle Palace image. We have a WONDERFUL sponsor this week so be sure to participate for your chance to win and also check out their shop. They have some TOOO CUTE images that you need to add to your collection. :) I will do my best to create another card this week and add it to Mr. Linky with one of their wonderful images this week.

My second card is another beautiful sketch by Dawny P. I love this one too! I chose to use Back to School Teen Beauty for this card. I think she is just darling!!! I wanted to make her skirt navy blue and then was stumped on what shirt color I wanted. I chose yellow to add a pop of color ... then I realized these were also my old High School colors! lol!!! Go Chiefs! lol!!! I REALLY did not do that intentionally. I really do not have man fond memories of HS. :) but I still love her and am happy with the colors. I think they look pretty on her. :) Also, be sure to check the DT cards out :) Sharon used EEeek! my Candy Corn bat from Fresh Brewed! I am on cloud 9 I tell ya! That was so cool to see. Surreal .. or something. Thanks Sharon :)!!!

ICS Challenge

I am SOOO late posting for this weeks ICS challenge. Not only that, but I was late with commenting last week. I did catch up and comment on every last card. Sorry ladies, I will do my best to never do that again!!! I have no idea where last week even went. I need to get my schedule straight with school church. karate, ballet, cooking and so on .. because so far I am doing a horrible job keeping up with it all! :) Ugh!

This week is the week our new DT joined us. They created some of the most beautiful cards so be sure to hop over and leave them some love. Dawns sketch is so lovely. This woman has talent I tell ya! I love her sketches like no other. I kept my card simple this week ~ no colored image (WOW! I know!!). I used a Martha Stweart paper coaster flower as the main focus of the card. (I got a pack of 10? at Big Lots for a buck!). The paper is by MME Asparagus Stack, American Craft colored cardstock and a stampabilities sentiment stamp.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are all having a wonderful and blessed week so far.

Don't forget Doodle Street has a new challenge up tomorrow along with our blog hop winners, last weeks challenge winner and our new image releases to Doodle Street and Fresh Brewed Designs. I know many of you have seen some of Cassandra's sneaks ... you will be delighted to see what she has in store for you tomorrow!! :) Lots of Goodies :)

ICS and my returning sweet tooth

I have made a lot of SWEET cards this week, last week and the week before. I am sure you are getting used to it and this will come as no surprise ;)! This weeks ICsketch by Dawn is just beautiful!!! I really stepped out and did not stick to the sketch to a T (exactly anyway). I chose to only use the center of the sketch. I used one of our sponsors lovely digital images, popped a strawberry and part of the jar lid / cloth. It was a very fun card to make and I am so glad we were able to play along with these darling images. Thanks so much for sharing them with us!!! So, you curious about the sponsor? We have a returning sponsor this week, Lindsay from Lindsay's stamp stuff!!! She has offered up a very generous prize: 10 digi images of the winners choice. I hope you all have time to participate this week, you would not want to miss snagging up these little cuties!!! And be sure to hop over to the ICS blog to see the other gorgeous creations by our DT.

I chose to use one of my yet to be released Fresh Brewed Designs images. I hope they are not getting old yet. i just have so many ideas and I want to use them! :)

The inside simply says {Your friendship is the perfect measure of strength and comfort}

I used a lot of RAKed paper for this card. The measuring tape is hand drawn on cardstock, I curled it and messed with it and distressed it to give it a more real look. the image is colored with m prismacolor markers and paper pieced.

I hope you all get to play along with us this week. I can not wait to see what you create!!!

ICS and The Cutting Cafe

This weeks sketch is so much fun to work with! I loved the shapes and the design Dawn created. I will admit, with all going on in my life this week being at the dr and having out of nowhere pain, I got a little lost and had to ask my DT for advice and help. I found so many helpful, encouraging, and loving comments / emails from my DT members. Even some that made me smile / laugh at a much needed time. Thanks ladies. It really meant so much!!!

This sketch is being sponsored by the Cutting Cafe. We were given these GREAT printables to work with. I had a lot of fun cutting and putting my cards together. It was almost therapeutic sitting there in my room alone trimming and cutting and gluing them all together. It tried my patience a few times :) but I really did enjoy it.

I made 2 cards again this week. For the first I used the circle thank you and sent by cutting cafe.

For the second card I used the rectangle shape and 'for being so sweet' sent from the Cutting Cafe. The Candy Corn Tower image is my very own digi!!! I opened my shop yesterday. YAY!!! I am so excited!!! You can find all about it on the post HERE.

ICS

These cards were both created using this weeks ICS sketch. Dawn never fails to give the most adorable, versatile and fun sketches!!! The sponsor this week is Lindsey's stamp stuff. Her digi images are just too sweet and she has such a wonderful variety to choose from. Be sure to check her shop out as well.

My cupcake card was also created for the 2RedBananas Banana Split Sunday challenge which is to use stripes and dots on your card.

Hope you all get the chance to join in on the fun this week. I can not wait to see what you create with the sketch. Be sure to check out all the amazing creations the DT have made and leave them some love! :o)

**Don't forget** ICS is having a DT call!!! Go read more about it here. You only have a little bit of time left to join in and become a part of this fabulous team!!!

ICS32 and a DT call!!!!

Good morning! I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I will not get into much today ~ kindof busy and just not chatty yet (lucky for you :) lol) AND something is going on with my font? Oh well. This card was made with Dawn's wonderful sketch she provided us with this week. I just know you are all going to love it! Very sweet and easy to follow.

I was able to hit the farmers market a few weeks ago and purchase my very first Anyas!!! YAY! This card was the first one I made with the set. I used KC and CO paper, copics, prismacolor markers and bics to color (even though there was not much coloring in this project :). ) Her dress, muffs, boots are all paper pieced. I really had a lot of fun making this card. Be sure to check out all the other DT gals wonderful and inspirational creations. Very beautiful projects over there you would not want to miss!!!

ICS 31 ~ Adore

Have any of you heard The Revelation Song by Philips Craig and Dean? I Love that song!!! My sisaroo sings it beautifully too I might add! My most favorite rendition of it, though, comes from my beautiful Hannah. All that being said, the entire time I made this card, that song played through my head. "With all creation I sing, praise to the king of kings, you are my everything and I will adore you!" I KNOW this card does not look very 'Christian' themed, lol .. more 'rocker' to the untrained eye, but this is entirely made with the love I have in my heart for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is my everything and I can not think of anyone that deserves to be adored more than he does.

OK, on to my card. So I used my new stamps I bought weeks ago at Hobby Lobby called flights of fancy by hot off the press. I stamped the wings and heart onto hot pink paper by American Crafts (tropicals), embossed them with Ranger black and then cut them out. I stamped the bottom of the card with a heart from the set on Brilliance Graphite Black. I highlighted areas of hte card with a white gelly roll pen, crumpled the black card stock and ran over the bumps with my white colorbox chalk ink pad. The adore snag em stamp sentiment as well as the black and white paper are RAKs I received a long time ago. Our very own Karen is sponsoring the prize this week so pop on over to ICS and see what you can win! Can't wait to see the wonderful things you all create!
I am also submitting my card to the Caardvarks Challenge which is to use black, white and hot pink.
