Sassy Cheryl-Challenge #96

Hello Friends-
One of my goals for this New Year, is to get ahead! LOL!!! My goal is to make cards ahead of time, that can be ready when the occasion arrises. So, what a perfect way to start that with a challenge at Sassy Cheryls!
Sassy Cheryl's Design Team member Ann, is challenging us to use an image that represents a "New Beginning." I decided that this image "1st Day of School," is perfect, as this year I will have two of my grandkids starting Kindergarten. So, now I am half way ready (way ahead of schedule-Yahoo for me!)

Recipe:

Paper: My Minds Eye-"Lime Twist, and Stella Rose", Bazzill and Papertrey Ink Cardstock

Misc.-Copic Markers, Rayon Ribbon, button and twine

Have a great day-

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #47: 2011 A la Carte (Card #3)

Hello Friends-

Papertrey Ink is hosting their "Make It Monday" challenge. This weeks (and the first of the New Year), is to use any technique shown in last years videos technique challenges. What a great way to start off the year-this was quite fun, and I wanted to do soooo many of the techniques (as I am still off work until Monday-back to school)-but time is catching up with me and I must tend to those chores of lesson plans and getting ready to return to work!

So here is my last take on this challenge-

This card is based on Erin Lincoln's technique "Sentiments." The challenge is to use the same or coordinating sentiment from many different PTI stamp sets. I love this challenge. It is sooo much fun to see how you can combine sets together to make one card.

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #47: 2011 A la Carte (Card #2)

Hello Again Friends-

As mentioned previously, Papertrey Ink is hosting there "Make It Monday" challenge. This is the first of the new year! The take on this challenge is to use any technique video presented last year-lots of choices and great designs to choose from (*I am entering 3 cards)!

Here is my second of the three cards-

This card is based on Jennifer Ellefson's technique-"Coloring on colored cardstock." This was quite interesting to do. I used my copic markers and I have never colored on colored paper before. How the colors change on colored paper and especially after they dry. This was a fun challenge!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #47: 2011 A la Carte (Card #1)

Hello Friends-

Papertreys Make it Monday challenge this week is to use any of last years technique video challenges and to use that idea as a springboard for creating your card. What a fabulous idea and soooo many to choose from. You can enter more than once, so here goes....

My first card is based on Nicole Heady's "Stamp a Background" technique. The top portion of my card is stamped and the bottom portion is paper. I love how the two coordinate. Take a peek at all the other talented ladies entries at:

Sassy Cheryl Challenge #95-Snowman with a Die-Cut

Hello Friends-
It hasn't been lookin too much like winter or the holidays here in the most Northern part of California! So, to help it along, I thought I would enter Sassy Cheryl's challenge-"Snowmen!"

I picked "Cappuccino Snowman," which worked out perfectly, as I wanted to make a special friend a gift card holder that I could put her Starbucks card in!

The challenge is to use a snowman image (Sassy Cheryl Digi-preferred), and a die-cut!

So, here is my take on the challenge, and a special treat for my dear friend-"Misty." Happy New Years!

Recipe:

Copic Markers, Papertrey Ink paper-"Rustic Snowflakes" and "Ocean Tides" cardstock, Glitter, Dew Drops, Rayon Ribbon, Spellbinders Labels 11 Grand Nestabilities

The finished card measures: 5x7 (You can't really see the glitter too well in the photo, but I sprinkled glitter under the snowman's feet and on the snowflake inside the card!

Head on over to Cheryl's blog and take a peek at what the other talented gals have come up with!
