Jitterbuggin Challenge Sketch 9


Well I think I covered everything on the list in the challenge. I used K & Company paper (Pastels).  The sentiment was cut with DonJuan Cartridge.  And I used the buttons for the center of the flowers!!!  Used the swiss dot cuddlebug folder for the embossing under the bow (this came from a stash I have had for years).I think the little pearls give this a delicate touch don't you????  This really turned out nice I think and I can use this for just about any occasion too.

Bitten by the Bug2 Storybook owl challange

This is the first time I have entered anything for Bitten By the Bug!!  The ladies there are so talented and so inspiring.  The little owls on the storybook cartridge are so cute dont you think.  I really enjoyed looking thru my stash of supplies to make this card.  I think this could be used for valentines day or just to say I love you to that someone special!!!

Missing you

Here is the card I did for Jitterbuggin Sketch 8  By the Sea.  I used Debbie Mumm travel pack paper for the background.  My cuts were from Life A Beach cartridge cut at 31/2 except for the starfish cut at 2 inches.  I used some hemp and sentiment stamps from Stampendous(Happy Messages).  I did use red and yellow but the red looks like a deep orange in this picture.  This was a fun sketch to follow.  Did get the inspiration also from the Papercraft Inspirations July 2010 issue.  Those cards were done with polymer clay embellishments.  I pop dotted the lifesaver for dimension.  I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did making it!!!

There Playing Your Song

I have not been making to many cards lately and have gone and bought cards due to time restraint's lately.  I wanted to try a card for my nephew who turned 14 this year!!!  Oh this is so out of my element!!!  I have made pretty and cute but not masculine and hip (LOL)!!!  Well here it is hope he likes it!!!

I decided to do the first challenge at Um Buggin CC&S!  I used the number 3 mushroom from paisley cartridgeat 31/2 inches. The sentiment is a scrappy cat clear stamp set that i stamped and embossed!!!  My paper is from K& Company.  Used my Martha Stewart Doily border bunch, some ribbon and some bling and a little prima flower.  Hope I managed to fall in line with all that she wanted!!! I am looking forward to future challenges that Lillie puts out there!!  She is such an inspiration!!!!
