Space

Today the challenge on SCS was themed SPACE.  Here's what I added to the gallery:

I love these little aliens from Stampendous, and the sentiment from Putting on the Ritz.  The entire saying is - "There's nothing in the Universe that says I have to make sense."  Don't you think this is fun???  I think the gems and googlie eyes make this a hoot!!  Thanks for looking!

CCEE1746 Birthday

Happy Birthday to our hostess Joanne.  Today we make feminine birthday cards with flowers for her!

Happy, Happy Birthday, dear friend.

Please join us in making birthday cards for this special lady!!  Post your card HERE.

Tuesday and Wednesday

Today I'm sharing two cards, one for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Below is the Z Fold card for the Color challenge (RED, blue, green).

For the sketch today, here is my Christmas Santa, going over the world.

Thanks for looking!!  Have a great day!!

CCEE1745 Guys

Joanne says:

"I'm not sure about the rest of you, but I never seem to have enough masculine birthday cards.  This week is for the guys......make a masculine card of any type.....does not have to be a birthday card."

This is indeed a birthday card for our grandson Nate. He is about to turn 23.  He loves music, and plays guitar.  I think he'll like this.

Please feel free to join us, linking your card to our blog HERE.

Sketch Challenge

Today is my favorite challenge day.  A sketch is provided.  I flipped the sketch to accommodate the eyes on the cats.

Inside it says, "The years have been kind to you.  It was the weekends that did the damage!"

Color Challenge

Today the colors for the challenge at splitcoaststampers were

Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, and Crushed Curry (Orange, RED, yellow).

Of course, neutrals are always okay.  I thought this was a good card for someone who loves music.

Thanks for looking!

Saturday Inspiration

Today our website is called Frontgate.  I chose this to inspire my card:

I had seen a funny card on Pinterest, and it popped into my head just as soon as I saw the pearl necklace. 

And here's mine, cased from Pinterest....

I hope you think it's funny too!

Thanksgiving Side-step card

Now that our grandsons are older (the youngest is 16!), I have to make more masculine cards.  Here are two I made to go out shortly.

Casing Favorites (CCEE Below)

Today's challenge at SCS is to CASE (copy and save everything) a card put into our favorites.  Here is the card I kept by Roberta (stampin'nana):

Here's what I did with her card to make it mine:

Tthanks for looking!

CCEE1744 Thanksgiving or Thanks

Our hostess for the month of November is Joanne.  Here is her first challenge:

she says, "I'm going to keep it simple.  The holidays are coming, and times will be busy.  This will be a month of celebrations.  This week I would like you to make a Thanksgiving card OR a card of thanks."

This card will go to my DD, who loves to get fun cards.  I think this will make her laugh!!

Please join us, linking your card HERE.

Mmmmmm.....spaghetti!

The SCS challenge today is the sketch:

And here's my card:

Nothing like a chuckle in the morning!  Thanks for looking.

Colors and the Tickle

The Color Challenge today at SCS is to use Honey, Turquoise, Pear, and Rose, and for dessert, water color.  Here it is:

This card will go to my Aunt next month for her birthday.  She still wears hats!

The Tickle today is to be inspired by apples.........I think this covers it!

This will be sent with some goodies to another Teapotter when I get a message as to whom it goes.

Monday Two-fer

My card for today covers both challenges at SCS.  The Clean and Simple is to make a decorated Christmas Tree.  The Technique Lovers Challenge is to Splash Watercolor.  Here's the result:

The pineapple top is the "tree", decorated with Christmas lights, and the bg is the new technique.  This card will go to our granddaughter Sam(antha), who has a real THING for pineapples.

A CASE for Sunday

Every Sunday there is a Featured Stamper.  We are to find one of her cards or projects, and to use it to inspire our own.  Here is CraftyJennie's (Jennie Maier) card I found:

I liked the layout and colors.  Those I kept, but changed the rest, here:

Thanks to Jennie, and to you for looking.  See you tomorrow!

Tough Day? and Cutie Pie

Our inspiration site today at SCS is called Jellycat, a place filled with cute toys for little ones.  My card is based on a cuddly (if you can believe it!) sloth.  You can see it HERE.

Inside it says,
"Tough day?  Try being one of the Seven Deadly Sins!"


This will go to my son the English Teacher to perk him up on a tough day!

I liked the site so much I did another card:

This one will go to DGD Sam.......inside it will say,

"You're one in a Chameleon!".

Fussy Cutting

I have loved cutting things out of paper ever since I was given scissors!  I used to love the Betsy McCall paper dolls that came in my mother's magazine, and the Katy Keene's in comic books.  When I saw that the challenge on SCS today was to "fussy cut", I was in my glory.

I had saved a page of 3 D decoupage from the net, and today was the day to cut the five layers of this little image and use it on a Fall card.  I thought the little fairy was darling!!

Thanks for looking, and have a terrific day!

CCEE1743 Cats

Frances tell us:

Apparently tomorrow (27th) is Black Cat Day and Sunday (29th) Cat Day.  So for our challenge this week include a cat on your creations.......black or not.

I couldn't resist this fun black cat...of course this is for Halloween!!

Please join us, linking your card to our BLOG.

A Fun Sketch!

Wednesday is my favorite day on SCS.  The Sketch Challenge is always fun, and usually quite a challenge as well.  Here's the one for today:

                                     

I changed the basic shape from a square to an A2 sized card.

This chicken that looks like she's panicking is from Eat Cake Graphics.  I love this image and saying, and use it for lots of occasions.  Inside it says'

"Oops.  My Mistake.  Happy Fall!"

Thanks for looking.

Halloween

The past few days, Halloween has been the theme at SCS.  Here's what I've made:

Sunday's Featured Stamper

Today the Featured Stamper is Jeanette Cloyd (Forest Ranger).  Here is her card I cased:

I was inspired by the layout.  I changed the theme and stamps, and added a ribbon in place of the brad.  I also omitted the brads (DH said to leave it alone.).  Here's mine:

Thanks for looking, and congratulations to Jeanette!
