Hello...

Yep, a second post for today. (Just wanted to make sure I got this card in on time). The sweet image on this card is by Melissa over at Meljen's Designs. I had coloured it up sometime ago. (When ever I think I'm going to have idle time somewhere, ie. waiting for someone at an app't., babysitting the grandkids, I take along some colouring to do. I'm pretty sure it was during one of these time that this little guy was coloured). The DP is by MME. I used a folder embosser to give the cross piece a bit of interest.

Thanks for your sweet comments.

blessings to you,

Nancy

Love It

My card for today features one of Mo Mannings sweet baby images. I believe this one is called "Love It". I coloured it with my Copic Marekers. The Dps are all from my scrapbox. Folder embossed the background & added a few buttons.

Thanks for stopping by & hope you enjoy your afternoon.

with love on Mother's Day

Well, it's Monday morning & that means it's time for another Kaboodle Doodles' challenge, http://kaboodledoodles.blogspot.ca/ . This week we would like your projects to "Honour Mom". Our sponsor is the Stamping Boutique & they are generously giving" 3" of their fanastic digital images to one lucky winner. Remember if you enter that could be you!

For my Kaboodle Doodles DT project I choose to make a card. I used Stamping Boutique's cute image, "Audrey with a Heart". As usual I coloured it up wit Copics. I added some gold using a paint pen. DP's are by MME. I also used a Martha Stewart punch to create the lacey edge along the bottom. The sentiment is a digital freebie. I added a bit of twine, layered flower & a brad to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to your submissions.

hugs,

Nancy

Mixed Media Class

Hope you are all enjoying your evening. Just thought I'd pop in & let you see what I was up to yesterday. My youngest daughter & I attend a "Mixed Media" class at our local scrapbooking shop, "The Paper Pickle". It was our way of celebrating National Scrapbooking Day. Above is the project we completed. It was a real fun, interesting & informatative afternoon. We were taught how to use a variety of inks, gesso, molding compound & stencils to create projects. Definitely will be trying this again & using it on scrapbook pages & cards. I think I'm going to frame this one (since it was my first attempt) & use it as a wall hanging. 

Hope you had some papercrafting time this weekend.

hugs,

Nancy

Mother's Day Card

So glad you decided to stop by for a visit. Hope you're doing well. Today's card is the first of the two cards I'll be making for Mother's Day. This card actually came together very easily & by mistake! The DP already had the doily stamped onto it & while I was trying to distress the edges of the paper I hit the doily & noticed that whatever it was stamped with resisted the ink. So I simply ran my blending tool over the entire thing and voila! I love how it turned out. The vintage digital image was easy to colour up with my Copics because it already had a lot of the shading inked in. The Scripture sentiment was another digital freebie. (Love those so much!). The flowers are Primas. Ribbon for my stash.

Here are a couple of close ups:

Enjoy your day,

Laugh

Sorry for the fuzzy scan on this card photo, I think the buttons were a little too thick for the scanner to work properly. The image is "JoJo" by the wonderfully talented Mo Manning. I can't tell you how many times I've used this little cutie, I just love him. I coloured him with Copics. The Dp is again from the Dollar Store. I tend to browse down the craft aisle whenever I go to the Dollar Store because you never know what little treasures you might find there. I used embossing folders on the triangle & circle. Ribbon, sentiment & buttons are from my stash. 

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to stop by & take a peek.

Blessings,

Nancy

SMILE

Hope there are lots & lots of people & things in your day that are making you smile. For this card I used mostly dies & punches, no colouring, which is unusual for me. The papers are all from my stash. Flowers are Primas. My sweet daughter bought a package of these cute canvas tags & was so kind to share with me, thank you Jasmine. Sentiment is a rubber stamp from the Dollar Store. Added some bling with glitter glue on the swirls & gems on the butterflies.

Blessings,

Nancy
