Best Fishes for a Happy Birthday

Used Hambo Hoedown's challenge 124 sketch to create this punny birthday card!  Best Fishes for a very happy birthday!!

  

Used one of the birds from Hambo's Fish Birds digital stamp.  Colored with my Prismacolor pencils.  My washi tape supply is very small, so I used strips of paper to imitate washi tape.  Also entering this in Craft Your Passion Challenge 172 - Happy Birthday.  Found this challenge blog through Birdie Brown.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of blog land!  Blessings for a great week!

Happy Thoughts

Check out this super cute image I won from Sassy Cheryl's Stamps!  I think this little boy is adorable!  Thanks to Sassy Cheryl's for the wonderful prize! Thanks Cards in Envy for selecting my card as an "in the mailbox" card!

I used this week's sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  This week TMS also includes a twist, which is use an animal.  I hope the little duck counts!  Colored my image with Prismacolor pencils.  Added a little Glossy Accents to the water ripples.  The cattail embellishments are from the digital image.  I just made them bigger and cut them out.  That is the best thing about digital, you can adjust the size!  This week I also came across the Cards in Envy challenge blog.  They challenge you to make 4A cards that will fit in an envelope that can be mailed without extra postage.  The total thickness is limited to 1/4 inch or less.   Love this idea since 90% of my cards get mailed.
Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog!  God bless!!

Mini cards

Created a set of three mini cards for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge - Make it Mini!  It was fun to work on something small!  Made three little 3X3 CAS cards.

Using colors from this weeks Color Throwdown and some Sentiment from Unity's Dutch Mustard Soup set, to create these little cuties! The tree is from Hero Arts, I believe the name is Spring Tree. Used the smallest MFT banner die for the banners.  Simple little cards!

Thanks for taking time to stop and see what I've been up to! God bless!!

What's Up?

Thanks Sassy Cheryl's for the prize!

One last card for this weekend.  Posting my last take on the Tuesday Morning Sketches Birthday Challenge.
Also participating in Sweet and Sassy's July Release Challenge #1, Use the sun; and Sassy Cheryl's Hats On challenge.

Used a digi from Sassy Cheryl's called Max is Flying High.  Love this image because my DH has an ultalight aircraft he built and flies, so I love anything with planes.  It also reminds me of when my kids were small and boxes would keep them busy for hours on end! I had to flip the sketch upside down to make this card.  Since I do not have a sun die, I improvised and used one of my Spellbinders Sprightly Sprocket dies.  The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils.
Thanks for looking! Have a blessed week!

Fin-tastic Day!

Lovein' these cute dolphins from Birdie Brown! They're the July freebie, so you better go get 'em while you can!  One more card using the Tuesday Morning Sketches birthday celebration sketches.

Flipped the sketch for this card.  My sentiment is in the wrong spot than the sketch shows, so I hope that's ok.  I need to learn to double check the sketch and not try to go by memory!!  The "waves" are a Sizzix die cut from some blue vellum I found in my stash.  Splattered some blue ink on the image panel for a splashed effect.  I didn't have any yellow twine, so I made some with some natural twine and a yellow Tombow maker.  Added a few crystals for sparkle.  I think it turned out cute!

Thanks for taking the time to check out my work.  God bless!

Used this weeks Hambo Hoedown image, "Bad Connection" and one of the sketches from Tuesday Morning Sketches 4 year Celebration to create this card.  The colors came from this weeks color challenge over at Color Throwdown.  TMS and CT are both celebrating this week so check them out, TONS of prizes!

   

This weeks challenge at Hambo required you to use office supplies, so I used paper clips and a rubber band.  Colored the image with Prismacolor pencils.  Tried to keep my colors as close to the SU colors in the Throwdown challenge.  Used MFT dies to cut the banners.
Thanks for taking time to stop by! God bless!!

Love this Itty Bitty stamp set by Unity, makes me smile!

Playing along with Tuesday Morning Sketches.  They are having a birthday celebration this week with LOTS of prizes! Go check it out! Here are the sketches you can use.

Played with some new Cat Eye inks to create the background.  It's hard to make out, but I tried the masking tape technique also.  Used a little Dylusion spray ink.  The images are colored with prismacolor pencils with a little Tombow marker thrown in.  Some twine and gems and it's done! Quick and easy!
Thanks for stopping by! Blessings for a great weekend!
