Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #52!

Good morning everyone!  Happy Monday!  My son and I are about to run out for some last minute groceries and the Honey Baked Ham, so it'll be a quickie!

I am finally posting my challenge for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #52!  Would you believe I got this done last Wednesday and I'm only just posting it?  Bad me!  I love Mercy's sketches and I love these little cuties by CC Designs too!  :O)  I am too happy with the way it turned out! 

I actually made the DP for this one!  How cool!  I usually hate the way it turns out when I do randomly stamped designs, but this one is better!  Maybe because it's snowflakes?  LOL!  Have a great day everyone!

Wintery Fluttering

Good morning, my crafty friends!  Happy Hump Day!  It's time for Flutter By Wednesday over at Danni's Dreams!  This week's challenge is to make a winter themed project and include a butterfly, fairy or angel.  Easy enough! 

I don't think you can get much more wintery than this!  This is the view outside my front door this morning - in 2 directions.  Jake had school today as it wasn't the blizzard everyone else seems to have gotten.  I don't mind the snow as long as I don't have to drive in it.  :O)

I hope you enjoy my project this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Karen, Kimberly, Kris, Kristie, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola, Pam & Stef.

Taylored Color with Owls...

Hello again all!  Tonight I busted out this challenge that I just ran across on Embellish.  It's a color challenge that you have to incorporate owls into.  How fun!  I love the color combo and owls are so cute! 

I used the sketch over at Taylored Expressions.  I added the little ribbon flower to the corner of the brown card stock for a little something extra.  I made that flower in just a few minutes...my first one.  I am going to try something different next time.  :O)

Digital Pencil Too Challenge #6!

Hi all my crafty people!  I actually did the Digital Pencil Too Challenge on the day it was issued!  Isn't that something?  :O)  This stamp is so darling!  I believe this is pretty much what I looked like when I was little...hair, kitty and all!  It reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon where the great big dog is saying something like "I will love him and hug him and squeeze him and rock him...and I will call him George!"  LOL!

Anyway, the challenge for this week is a sketch.  Here it is along with my interpretation. 

RECIPE
Size:  5x5
Image:  Digital Pencil Too
DP:  My Mind's Eye
Card stock:  DCWV, Neenah, stash
Flowers:  Prima
Misc:  Copic markers, MS punch, Scor-pal, Stickles, K&Co Beyond Postmarks (sentiment bubble)

Digital Pencil Too Challenge #5

***This is my 2nd post today.  If you're looking for FBW, please scroll down!***

I'm baaaaaaack!  Here with another challenge.  Digital Pencil Too Challenge #5!  Their theme this week is "All that Glitters" - Just use three (3) different sparkly elements on your card; ie: glitter, gems, sequins, etc.

I used Mo's fabby Snowman image...I just love him.  When DP2 had their first ever blog hop I was totally inspired by Cheryl's card.  More than inspired I guess...I cased it!  You can see the original HERE!  For sparkles I used glitter dp, Spica glitter marker, glitter glass and rhinestones.  :O)

For some reason I CANNOT get the glitter glass to photograph well.  It doesn't sparkle in any of my photos!  I took about 20 pictures and none of them were any good!  Bah!

RECIPE

Size:  5x5

Image:  Digital Pencil Too

DP:  My Mind's Eye

Cardstock:  Bazzill

Other:  Copics, Spica glitter marker in clear, glitter glass by OOAK on e-Bay, pop dots, rhinestones from Michael's, Martha Stewart snowflake punches

More Zindorf-esque Cards...

Hi all!  Sorry I went MIA for a few days.  My computer or internet service isn't liking blogger.  How RUDE!!!  Don't they know I have things to do?  Anyway, I'm back and here to show you some brayered cards I made while over at my friend Peggy's house last week.  I figured I better get them posted since we're having another fun filled day of stamping and coloring (and maybe more brayering!) tomorrow.  ;O)

The next card is an image that we colored together the very first time we got together...in July.  I have just gotten around to making a card out of it.  Slacker, I know!  :O)

OK...be sure to come by tomorrow for a fluttering good time!

DP2 Challenge #4

Just squeakin' in here for the Digital Pencil Too Challenge #4!  I made this over at Peggy's house today...she's so happy to be celebrating!!!  :O)  Be sure to head over Mo's and get some of these cuties for yourself!!!  I did a tri-fold shutter card for the "fancy card fold".  I think this is as fancy as they come.  I love these!

I'll be back tomorrow with some more fun stuff!  :O)

Baby Flutter By

Traditional Thanksgiving

Hi all.  I just wanted to show you the set of Thanksgiving cards I made for my dear friend, Juanita.  She loves the muted colors of fall and a more traditional feel, so this is what I came up with for her.  :O)

Happy Hallow's Eve!

Fluttering By with Zindorf Style!!!

Good morning all you crafty people!  I'm back in action with Flutter By Wednesday #81!  This week is another open week...just use a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.  :O)

I actually used a dragonfly, but it's pretty close to a  butterfly if you ask me!  I made this card using a brayering technique by Michelle Zindorf.  I got to catch up with my gal pal, Peggy yesterday, and she showed me how to do this properly.  If you remember, I tried one of these several months ago and it didn't come out looking anything like this!  I'm tickled as can be with it...what do you guys think???

I hope you enjoy my card this week! Be sure to check out the rest of the design team's creations! Ann, Cassie, Chris, Christine, Danni, Harriet, Heather, Jodi, Kristie, Michelle, Nancy, Nicola, Stef & Taylor.

Flutter By Wednesday #80!

Hello all you happy crafters!  Another Wednesday is upon us and that means another Flutter By Wednesday over at Danni's Dreams!  Woohoo!  All you have to this week is use a butterfly or a fairy on your creation.  I went super simple this week after I found this beautiful paper yesterday at Hobby Lobby.  The sentiment says "THE BEAUTY OF FRIENDSHIP IS NOT THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND, NOR THE KINDLY SMILE...IT'S THE SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION THAT COMES WHEN YOU DISCOVER THAT SOMEONE ELSE BELIEVES IN YOU AND IS WILLING TO TRUST YOU WITH THEIR FRIENDSHIP."  :O)

A Spooky "Twilight" Kind of Love and Monkeying Around!

Happy Monday everyone!  I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning, so I thought I'd pop on and show you a different kind of card for me.  Aisne of Aisne's Creations is a talented artist from South Africa who specializes in 3D graphics.  These are already colored in and ready to use on cards, layouts, etc and can be found at Digiscrap Station.  I saw her Dracula and Noir and thought they would be a perfect replica of Edward and Bella.  :O)  The sentiment says "A SPOOKY KIND OF LOVE"  What say you?

Next up, I have monkeys from Dustin Pike's last release.  I know release day is on Thursday, but I forgot to post them here for you!  Slacker, I know!  ;O)

DP2 Challenge #2!

Happy Friday everyone!  We made it!  Today I have a challenge entry for Mo's Digital Challenge.  Our challenge this week is to use a DPT image, 2 embellies & colors that remind us of fall.  I was all over this challenge!  I love Fall and this little guy looks like he does too!  Whatcha' think???

A Corrosive Flutter By???

Hi again everyone!  Sorry that my Flutter By Wednesday post is up a little late today!  I'm running behind!  This week's challenge is another open week. Just create a card with a butterfly or a fairy on it.  Today I decided to make Tilda a Halloween baby!  Fun, right?  I used the sketch over at The Corrosive Challenge Blog for my inspiration.  :O)  Here's the sketch and my sample.

I also used this for my entry into Allsorts Challenge, another new challenge blog to me!  :O)

Card Patterns Sketch

Hi everyone!  I had a full day of errands and then some getting ready for the Sassy Studio Designs Release Party on Thursday!!!  I wanted to pop on and show you the card I made for Card Patterns this week.  I love this sketch and it worked out well with this image, "Holiday Shopping".  :O)  Here is the sketch and my take on it. 

Here I have used the SSD Pillow Box Template along with the Cocoa image...both of these will be released on Thursday, October 15th!  Doesn't she look so comfy and content sipping her hot cocoa?  I plan to add a Starbuck's gift certificate inside.  :O)

Don't forget that Sassy Studio Designs has Card Scents too!  We have some new scents coming for the holidays...I will keep you updated on those!  What's better than getting a handmade card?  One that smells good enough to eat, of course!  :O)
