A card in honor of yellowrose46

This card celebrates the work of Ina (yellowrose46).  I even put in a yellow rose!  She was our QFTD122, and I missed making a card in her honor while I was having hand surgery.

This is also for the CAS and TLC today.

The images are from Rubbernecker:
480-2010 Fall Sets - Fall Trilogy

I colored the rubber with markers, and added rolled roses with dewdrops and punched aspen leaves.  I hope  you like it.

Owl case of Sophie

This Halloween card is a case of Sophie LaFontaine at SCS.  She was named our Queen for the Day while I was unable to stamp.  I cased an adorable card of an owl in a tree wearing a cowboy hat.
I changed only the sentiment and colors of the owl to make it a card for October 31st. And of course, the hat.

The sentiment is Rubbernecker:475-01 Halloween  Dragon Boy.

It also is for the Inspiration Challenge at SCS today.  Wild Dresses is an Etsy shop selling little girl's dresses.  I chose to be inspired by a dress with an orange owl on the front.

Summer must be over.  #2 son, Paul, is here helping DH close the pool.  Ah well.  Have a great day, and thanks for visiting.

Fern - Just For You

Today I combined 3 challenges, two of which are in celebration of the artistry of Loll Thompson.

I cased her card that had two leaves.  Mine is the same except for using only one, and moving the sentiment.  I rounded the corner, and made it square.

You can see her card in my gallery at SCS, and if you have time, let her know how much beauty she creates!!

CCEE1237 Waterfall or pop-up

Our Hostess, Sabrina Friel, gave us our challenge again, to make a waterfall card or a free-standing pop-up Card.

I hadn't done this in AGES, so of course I made a ton of mistakes, and had to virtually start all over again.  When you glue the squares to the wrong side, they end up upside down......and not a pretty picture!

Below there are pics of what the underlying squares look like.  I used two Rubbernecker sets:

597 - Halloween Cats
473 - Halloween Set







Here are the two other views of the waterfall.  Aren't these cats just the cutest??

If I had been more careful the sentiment would have been straighter, but all I can do is blame the recent surgery I had.........By this time my hand was so sore, I just couldn't do it again!!

I hope you will want to join us this week.  Using old techniques can get the old MOJO sometimes working!!

If you make a card and would like for us to see it, please link your project

HERE.

Sabrina has another fun challenge for us next week.  See you then!

Here's some RED!

Finally, here's some RED!

This is for the sketch challenge at SCS today.
I used Rubbernecker Stamps:

496-08 2010 Wildflowers
600 Phrase Set - Best Wishes

The cardstock is RED, black, and Recollections from Michael's.  I added dimensionals under the flower image after cb'd with the Wonky Rectangle from Spellbinders, and a ribbon. Black ink.

CHF09 - Shaped Card

Our challenge today is to make a shaped card.  I used one of my Nestabilities for the smaller and the larger one, and traced one for the middle and cut it out.

The set is Haute Couture from Cornish Heritage Farms, and the sentiment is a digi from the same place.

Thanks for joining me here again this week, and there'll be another one next Tuesday.

I'm back!!!!!!!! and a Fun Card for DGS!

I had my LAST visit to my surgeon and OT this morning.  I got the okay to do some VERY light stamping.  Hooray!  I can't tell you how much I have missed it!!  My hand is still very sore, hurts to do much, but I am back.

This card is for the CAS colorblocking challenge at SCS.  The image is Rubbernecker:
609-01 2012 Wildflowers - Flower #4.

Very simple stamping on a paintchip, with corner rounder and ribbons.  I added an MFP charm.

Today is also #2 son's birthday.  If you know Paul, wish him a Happy!

.........and here's a fun Twisted Fold card that will be sent off this morning to our grandson Nathan, who is starting his Freshman year at college.

The inside says...." a reminder to do your laundry".  I tucked in a $5.00 bill.  I'm sure his roommates will appreciate his washing his socks!!

The image and words on the front are from Rubbernecker stamps:
82-18 2012 Laundry Days - Washing Machine.  The rest of the sentiment inside was computer generated.

Thanks for looking.

49 years today!

Today Jay and I celebrate our 49th anniversary.  Little did we think when we eloped the night before we went back to college...........that we would get here so soon!!  Happy Anniversary to my best friend and lifetime love!!

CCEE1235 Back To School

When I chose this theme for our challenge, I didn't realize how very little I had on this subject.  In fact, this is the only image I have that works!

The printed paper has little apples all over it,  and the school bus has the single apple.  I tried to tie in the green of the leaves with the ribbon. Ah, well.

Please join us every week on Thursday for a fun challenge.  You can link your card HERE.  Be sure to look at what the team did too!

CHF08 - Circles, Circles, Circles

Our Cornish Heritage Farms challenge this week is to use circles.....and I took our hostess Dianne literally, and added three layered and stamped.  The daisies are #810, and are only inked at the top of the image.  The stem goes farther, and has more leaves attached. The top half of the card is done with my cb and EF.

Please join us and link your card HERE, and we'll see you again in two weeks.

CCEE1234 Paper Piecing

This week I chose the Paper Piecing Technique for our challenge.

I stamped this sweet image, Child with Bouquets (532-09 from Rubbernecker Stamps) on white cardstock, and on the purple plaid, to piece her dress.  I used markers for her hair and flowers, and then punched tiny flowers again in plaid.

I Finished the card with a piece of green cs, ribbon, a flower, and leaves.

Please join us again next week, and be sure to add your card HERE so we can see it too.

CCEE1233 Direct to Rubber

I am your hostess this month, and the theme for today is the direct to rubber technique.  I love to do this.  It ruins my markers, but the results are so pretty.

In case you don't know how to do this, color directly on your stamp with markers, huff, and stamp.  Stencil-type images work really well.  Here I have used Rubberneckers 537-01 Florals 2 - Rose Silhouette.

Please join us and link your card HERE, and come back next week.

CHF07 - Animals

Our hostess today is Barb, who set the theme - Animals.  I couldn't resist using this adorable baby tiger digi, #742E - Tiger Hiding.  I added the sentiment (1401 Cutest Little Baby Face), 'cause I think his face is really cute!

The dp is from Sandy Lion, and the image is colored with markers.  The grass is cut with MS scissors.

Please join us in two weeks for another Cornish Heritage Farms challenge.

CCEE1232 Shaped Card

This month I am the Hostess for the CCEE Challenges - make a Shaped Card.

After using Rubbernecker images with the dog and bone sentiment, I decided to shape my card like a bone............honestly, it's a bone!  Forgive my lack of artistic ability!!

Please join us, and add your card HERE.  See you next week!

out of the cast.......

 Here's how my hand looks out  of the cast........and a close-up if you click on it.  still very swollen, and the exercises are KILLERS!  Below is my new splint, which I can thankfully is removable for showers and the hot tub.  I thought I would be stamping really soon, but I guess not. Boo-Hoo!

I am missing taking part in the daily challenges, but I got far enough ahead in my stamp company obligations that you will see what I scheduled until I am able to start again.  Hope to see you all soon!

Stampin' Sisterhood Challenge # 20

Welcome to another Stampin' Sisterhood Challenge.

This week our inspiration comes from THIS photo of oranges, lemons and limes. I used Rubbernecker images (639-06 2012 Happy Hour Garnish Set), and a sentiment (508 2010 Garden Phrase Set).

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and come back next month for another SS Challenge.

CCEE1231 RED!

I am the CCEE hostess this month, and of course my first challenge is to make a RED card!!

I used a Rubbernecker image, and some fab Jenny Bowlin music paper.  All I did after cb'ing a panel was to add flowers and a brad.

Please join us, adding your card HERE.

See you next week for another challenge!

CHF06 - Black, White, and .....

Michele is our hostess for this week's CHF challenge.  Her theme is Blck, White, and....of course I had to add RED.
