My card for the Lili of the Valley Challenge # 58 is an explosion of PINK! I had a great time making this card. I managed to include tons of embellishments that actually look good all together. I am so envious of those who can create cards that have so many details and they dont look like a mish mash of supplies. I added buttons for the Crazy for Challenges # 46.
I have been trying to explore other card making challenges out there on the Internet. One of my fellow collegues Jackie on Critter Sketch Challenge Design Team, is also the Sweet Sketch Wednesday design team. I thought I would try their latest Sketch Challenge. I must have ESP because I just read that Stampavie's Challenge #27 is to use DOTS! The paper I used is from the new Basic Grey Oliver line. It's great for boy/guy/man cards!
Hello everyone!
It's time for a really fun sketch on the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog. SoftPencil is the sponsor for June for the Critter Sketch Challenge Blog. This weeks challenge is a Sketch challenge. Kelly Haberstroh, http://therubberprincess.blogspot.com/, is providing us with this fabulous sketch challenge. Thannks Kelly!
There are two groups in the Critter Sketch Challenge Design Team. The two groups alternate project making duties. It's an off week for me, but it didnt stop me from making something. I am having so much fun with the images of our sponsor, Softpencil Digital Stamps. This week's challenge is a sketch challenge, and to use ribbon. I chose to use one of the Mandala images. I was so focused on the Mandalas, that I forgot to use ribbon.
Happy week before Memorial Day Weekend. To me this means the start of summer. HA, I am still waiting for Spring to show up. That doesn't stop me from making spring time cards. Here is my card for this weeks Critter Sketch Challenge #15. It's a Sketch Challenge.

Over on the cute card Thursday blog this week they want to see our creations that feature an element that we have made ourselves. It can be backing papers, flowers, fimo embellishment. I didnt do anything extraordinary, I made some tissue paper flowers. I cut the tissue paper using a stampin up flower sizzlet. I layered the different sizes and put them all together with a clear rhinestone brad. I spritzed them with Tuscan Sun shimmer mist. I sponged the edged with SU's So Saffron ink. I still need more practise making these flowers.

This little cutey is for the Get Sketchy challenge #35. I used my Cricut machine and Sure Cuts A Lot software to cut the 1/2 oval shape and the scalloped tangerine tango base. I then stamped Ruffles and his little bandaged paw using Memento Tuxedo Black. I coloured him using my copics and airbrushed the background. The picture makes it look really splotchy but it looks better in real life.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Helz Cuppleditch Ruffles Get Well Soon, Sentiment Masculine Motifs
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Taken with Teal, Tangerine Tango
Paper: Basic Grey Max and Whiskers

This week's Friday Sketchers Challenge is being sponsored by Simon Say Stamp. The sketch Host Carole provided a cute sketch. I decided to make a card for my cousin who is expecting her first baby. I used paper from Basic Grey's new Capella line. I punched two edges with a Stampin up edge punch andthen sponged all of the edges with Stampin Up Soft Suede. The base is Soft Suede and Blush Blossom. Stampin' Up's Blush Blossom will be retiring this year, along with several other colours. The image is from Papertrey Ink Enjoy the Ride set. It is a cute versitile set that has a companion die. The flowers were created using papertrey ink's Blossom dies and white tissue paper. I used Blush Blossom reinker and watered it down and misted it onto the flowers. I then sponged some of the reinker onto the edges to givve them more dimension. The center of the flowers are American Craft Pearl brads. The sentiment from Papertry Ink Delightful Dahlia is stamped in Soft Suede on Blush Blossom. I punched it out with the curvy label punch from Stampin Up.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink; Enjoy the Ride, Delightful Dahlia
Ink: Soft Suede, Blush Blossom
Cardstock: Soft Suede, Blush Blossom
Paper: Basic Grey Capella
Accessories: Stampin Up Organza and Satin Ribbon, American Crafts Pearl Brads,White Tissue Paper, Stampin Up Edge Punch, Stampin Up Curvy Label punch

This is Jar Jar Binks, aka Jars, Binks, Bonk, one of the four felines that run the house I call home. Jar Jar and his brother, Qui Gon Gin aka Quiggles, Quiggs, pest, hefalump came to us around the time Star Wars The Phantom Menace came out. We are fans of the Star Wars movies and are on the "we like Jar Jar" side of the argument. I got one of the new Stampavie stamps, Coco the cat by Helz Cuppelditch because he reminds me of a tabby cat. Jar Jar and Quiggles are tabbies; Jar Jar is light orange and Quiggs is tortise shell. The inspiration for this card is Jar Jar. Except in real life, he would be sitting on top of the flowers instead of next to them! The sketch comes from the current Friday Sketchers challenge.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Stampavie Coco Cat Flowers
Cardstock: Stampin Up Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Gina K Pure Luxury
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers, Bashful blue
Paper: Basic Grey Green at Heart
Accessories: Basic Grey Buttons, SU Ribbon Rich Razzleberry, Nestabilities

The first challenge for April over on the Crazy for challenges blog is to use kraft cardstock. This is why I love doing challenges, it makes me use supplies that I neglect. I paired the kraft cardstock with some bravo burgandy (both from stampin up) added the sketch from the Sketch Saturday Challenge #97 and viola! The sponsor for C4C31 is The Greeting Farm, so I thought it appropriate to use one of the image from the Miss Anya Collection
