Enjoy Your Day!

 

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Tonight, I'd like to share with you a Birthday card I made using one of Krista Smith's adorable Saturated Canary digital images. A bit ago, I won a challenge and my prize was 2 of Krista's images; this was one of them. It was so hard to pick just 2 'cuz I love all of Krista's images! I coloured her with Copic markers. For this card I used a corner punch, a circle punch, several Spellbinder Dies, a Tim Holtz's Die, ink distressing, gingham ribbon, pearls and a rubber sentiment stamp.

Looking forward to a great week. Hope you enjoy your's as well.

hugs,

Nancy

If you guessed that this is my card for the new challenge over at Meljen's Designs http://meljensdesigns.com/ then you guessed right! This week we would like to see Tags or a Tag on your project (which is what I did!).

I used Melissa's sweet image Spring Bunny Trinkets http://meljensdesigns.com/ . I coloured her with my Copic Makers, hand cut her out in a tag shape and doubled matted her. I cut a scalloped circle with a Spellbinder die, folded it in half and added it to the top of the tag. I punched a hole in the top and added a few strands of Baker's Twine. The card base features 3 different DP's, with lots of faux stitching. I added a layered flower with a button center and a simple stamped sentiment by Stampin'Up. I attached the tag to the card front with foam squares.

Well, that's it for me. I do hope you'll join us this week at Meljen's.

hugs,

Nancy

Trust In The Lord

Good morning. Hope you are looking forward to a wonderful weekend. Today I have an easel card that I made up with an image by A Day For Daisies. Isn't is adorable and guess what; it was a freebie! What a blessing that such talented artist's share their amazing gift with us crafters. Thanks to all of them.

I coloured this image with Copic Markers and then co-ordinated it with some leftover papers. [I've been sorting thru my scrap paper so I that I realise what I actually already have rather than buying more. I used a lot of dies on this card. I love dies and folder embossers...it's amazing what they can do to a plain old piece of paper! I distressed all the edges with ink. Added a few pearls, a pretty lacy bow, a sweet brad and a Stampin' Up sentiment.

 

Here is a close up of the card front.

 

 

Until next time.

This was a fun layout to do. The sketch is from Turtle Soup. The papers are Bazzill cardstock and Memory Keepers DP. I also used Spellbinder dies, Tim Holtz's distress ink, buttons, pearls, brads, twine and Kreaxions punch #914. The photo is of my granddaughter, Alanna. She can get really crazy sometimes and this day was no exception. She was pretending to be a Mad Scientist! How fun!

Thanks for coming by.

My Favourite Colours

Today's card features 2 of my favourite colours: blue & brown. And one of my favourite artists Krista, from Saturated Canary. This card came together fairly quickly. Love when that happens! After colouring the image with my Copics, I decided to use both side of this DP by Pebbles Inc. I folder embossed the cardstock and distressed all the edges. I used a Spellbinder die to cut out the leaves. The flower, button, ribbon and brads I've had what seems like forever! I finished this card off by "faux stitching" around all the edges.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments and for stopping by.

hugs,

Nancy

My DT Day over at Meljen's Designs

Good morning! Today is my day to share a project with you over at Meljen's Designs. Since it will soon be Independence Day for my US neighbours I thought I'd share with you a card I made [back when I was MD"s Guest Designer], to celebrate their holiday.

 Hope you will take a minute or two and check out the Meljen's  Design blog; maybe you will even enter our weekly challenge.

hugs,

Nancy

Happy Canada Day!

Thought I'd wish you a "HAPPY CANADA DAY" with a little red and white card.

 

 

I know that these aren't maple leaves, but I just had to use this free digital image because I simply fell in love with it. Aren't these poppies just beautiful. I loved colouring them up with my Copics. I used only white cardstock, with lots of folder embossing, a scalloped border punch, a Memory Box die. 2 different Spellbinder dies, a Whimsy Stamp die and lots of Tim Holtz distress ink to dress it up. A scripture verse sentiment, a bit of Swiss Dot ribbon and a simple heart charm to finish it up.

Looking forward to a busy day visiting the festivities down at the park, hopefully catching the parade, maybe a little BBQ and then  watch the fireworks! Hope you get to get out and have a great day too!

Maybe stop by tomorrow to see my July Meljen's Designs' DT project.

hugs,

Nancy
