Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge 161

It has been months since I have had a chance to actually have time to make a card for a challenge. I love challenges but between school, my business and lots of travel I just haven't been able to play. But tonight I had a little time, so decided to make a card using the mojo monday sketch challenge 161 and supplies from an online swap that sends me supplies to design a card every month. This is different than I typically would do, but I like it.

SSS #60 & June Challenge

It has been awhile since I posted something on my blog. I had the supplies for my online challenge club and I needed to make a card for my SS. Plus I really liked this week's sketch on The Sweet Stop, so I used that sketch.

Water bottle cover with Frenzified Digi image

This weekend I am doing a demo for my local stamp club and they wanted to know about digi images, so what better way than to use my DD's digi images from Frenzified. So I needed a project, so I decided on this water bottle cover, thought it would make a nice summer gift.

Monthly swap kit using Sketch Girl sketch #19, Thank You card for "T" for ABC challenge

Each month I receive an envelope full of fun goodies to make a card and once a year I get to send out my goodies. They tend to pile up in my "to do" drawer, so tonight I dug one out and decided to use the Sketch Girl sketch for this week. Also, for the ABC challenge "T" is for Thank You challenge.

Mother's Day card & gift using Cute Card Sketch #109, 3-D item for A Spoonful Sugar challenge, ABAC for Digital Tuesday #56, Papertake Challenge

My MIL is 88 years old and thinking of something she might enjoy for Mother's Day is tough. But she loves movies and has no dietary restrictions, so I decided to make her a movie basket. When I went to Blockbusters to buy movies they had these Coke carrier type things available. One side has a place for two beverages or a beverage and some candy or popcorn. The other side is for three or four movies. I had bought this digital image about a month back and used it for an easel card and now I got to use it again. It is fun to color and fits perfect with the movie theme. I was looking for a sketch and liked the one shown on Cute Card Thursday, so used it for the card. Also,item is for A Spoonful of Sugar challenge for the week. And Digital Tuesday's challenge is Anything But a Card, so here is my popcorn container. This is the first time I have tried altering a popcorn container, so this is also for the Papertake Weekly Challenge - Do Something Different.

I made this card for the Digital Tuesday Challenge #55 - April Showers. I used a digital image and digital sentiment. Think she turned out cute.

It's Ladybug time in Michigan

Card for Karens Doodle Challenge #5

Made this card for Karens Doodle Challenge #5 - "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" I used one of my oldest embossing folders on this card (had to dust off the big shot, haven't used it in awhile!), something new - a new image I just bought from Karens Doodle, something borrowed is the easel card design (am loving that fold!) and something blue - well there is a lot of blue on this card!

Here's my party girl!!

Some of you have been asking me to post some of the items I sew for the 18 inch dolls that are out there (American Girl dolls, etc). So I just got a new doll from AG and she is the doll of the year and her name is Lani. I had to dress her up for spring - so here she is so pretty in pink!

O.K., I have been crafting and not posting anything, so time to show off some items I did for our state's "Mingle". Enjoy!

Terra Cotta Baskets

I am in a swap on SCS for Easter Baskets. I was having difficulty coming up with a paper basket, so I decided to do some terra cotta clay baskets. I "impressed" one of the $ stamps that you can get at JoAnn's and Mikes. I glazed the inside of the baskets and added a little ribbon. I enjoyed painting the little flowers on them. A little twist on rubber stamping.

Asian Card swap

I am hosting an Asian swap over on The Stamp Shack and this is my card for the swap in two different colors.
