My World Card Making Day Projects

I promised to share with you the projects that I made during yesterday's celebration for World Card Making Day! I had so much fun! There were challenges released every hour on the hour at Splitcoaststampers. I was behind by the second hour! LOL!! I always take more than an hour to make a card unless it is clean and simple! So I got a total of seven challenges done and meant to get the rest of them done today, but that just didn't happen!

I am going to show you the pictures of the projects that I created and give you a link to where you can read more about them in My Gallery at SCS. Any questions you have about the challenges or the supplies used will be revealed there!

Thanks so much for taking a look!

The first challenge WCMD09A was from Unity and was to use a quote on our card!

Moments to Remember

This challenge card also was entered into Unity's UBBRO3 contest, and follows the WSC100

The next challenge card I made was for Stamping Bellas Challenge WCMD09C to make a 1980's themed card!

Celebrate Good Times

This card also was entered into this weeks Way to Use it Challenge WT238.

The third challenge WCMD09D was given by the SCS girls, Jenn, Beate and Lori. They challenged us to use the color of chocolate, make a thank you card and use the WSC100.

Thank You for Being My Friend

The stamps are from Unity!

The next challenge I participated in was from Verve Stamps WCMD09E which was to choose a countries flag and then use the colors on it for your card.

And the final project I was able to complete was the Flourishes challenge WCMD09H which was a sketch challenge.

The challenges closed at Midnight on Sunday night. Prizes will be announced on Monday. Wish me luck!! There are a lot of great prizes up for grabs!!

Sketchfest Card- Clean and Simple Style!

Another day, another sketch over at the Sketchfest at Caardvarks! I love these sketches! So far they have all been designed by Heidi Van Laar and she is really rocking it with these!!

Here is today's sketch...

And here is my Clean and Simple version of a Christmas card using today's sketch. I oriented the card landscape instead of portrait but otherwise followed the sketch as is...

The paper is a new mini deck I bought just today at my LSS. It is by Cosmo Cricket and it is called "Jolly by Golly." It is so cute and fresh like all the Cosmo stuff is! The stamp is called "A Scarf for Three" that is designed by Stephanie Fizer and sold at MFT. (See, I don't only use Unity stamps! LOL!) I colored the image with my Copics but then paper pieced the scarf. The snowflake is from Nestabilities Create a Flake 1 that I embellished with some rhinestones after die cutting it out with some glitter paper from DCWV!

Using my Scor-Pal I embossed a frame around the pieces to give them a frame!

Thanks for taking a peek!! Scroll down to see today's earlier Sweet Sketch Wednesday post!Until tomorrow may your bucket overflow with many warm wishes!!

SheetLoad Sneak Peek! And Final showing of May's Sketch

Wow! The month of May sure has slipped by rather quickly!! I can't believe that it is June 1st already tomorrow! We are already in "summer mode" in my household. Both of my kids exempted their final exams, so their last day of school was on Friday! Tiffany will walk with her class on Wednesday for her Graduation!

With the new month before us, it means it is time for a sneak peek at my submission for SheetLoad's new eZine being released tomorrow. I am not one of the featured designers for this month's release, but I am playing along with the other DT members.

Here is a snippet of the card I created using June's sketch! Be sure to visit tomorrow and I will show you the whole thing!!

Be sure and visit SheetLoad of Cards tomorrow for the release of the June eZine issue. And today you can visit there and see some more sneak peeks!! Click HERE to get some more previews of what's to come on June 1st!

I have one more order of business for SheetLoad. I am afraid that I won't be able to share with you the complete set of cards (nine 4.25 x 4.25 square cards and nine scraplings) that I made using May's SheetLoad sketch because two of my green Copic markers ran out of ink right in the middle of coloring my images. But I did get the second sample done. I made three of each of these too.

So here is sample two of my take on May's SheetLoad sketch with the scrapling! The DP is from Junkitz; the flower stamps (in two sizes) are from Unity's August KOM; and the sentiment is from the Essential Sayings set from MFT (which happens to be on sale right now!)

I have to order some Copic refills today!! Do you know how often you need YG03 and YG11 when coloring your stamped images? I have been paralyzed for a little while now!!

And finally, I have one other thing to share with you today...

We have exciting news in our Family!!

My baby sister is getting married {again!} This is a picture of my sister Michelle (I named my daughter after her) and her fiancee Claude! They have been dating for over a year now and are the sweetest most "in-love" couple I have ever seen!

Claude popped the question last week and they are planning a wedding in January!!

Aren't they a cute couple??








So of course big sis had to make a congratulatory card for the happy couple!



Here is the Clean and Simple card I made for them....

I barely stamped on it! I just used the sentiment stamp from SU's A Little Birdie Told Me set. I let the DP from PaperTrey Ink and the embellishments steal the show on this one! I used my Martha Stewart border punch to make the black lacy edging.

I couldn't be happier for them... Claude and his two daughter's are going to be a wonderful addition to our family!!

That's all for now! Have a great Sunday and be sure to visit tomorrow when I will have my June SheetLoad sketch to show you!

May your bucket always overflow with good news in your family too!
