SOS #192 Counting On You

Looking for my Clear it Out post scroll down or click HERE
Sorry for the late posts this morning the time change takes me a long time to get used to, I’m so tired at night I’m in bed early and I seem to manage to sleep in at least an hour extra in the morning  which works out to 9 hours. This morning I woke up and realized I went to bed before I did my blog posts, so I’m blaming the time change.  So on with the challenge at Shopping Our Stash!!!. Counting on You, we would like to see numbers on your project. Here is mine……

All cardstock and number paper (leftover from an ATC swap) were in my scrap file box, the flower was sitting on my table with the flower eyelet already on it, a left over thought for another challenge.  The Happy Birthday was bought at a yard sale before I even knew what paper crafting was.

I even have numbers on the inside of the card.

The sketch I used is from the Crooked Stamper CSSC #2

I would like to enter this in the Crooked Stamper CSSC sketch #2  I flipped the sketch too.

This is a fabulous sketch, no matter which way you flip it.

Thanks for looking today and have a fabulously crafty week.

Colour Challenge~~Orange at Clear it Out Tuesday!!

For me an Orange challenge is really a challenge but as a crafter we have to be diverse and do what is necessary.  The sponsor is Meljen’s Designs and they are giving 4 images for the challenge.   Head over to Clear it Out Tuesday and see the rules and get inspiration from the rest of the Design Team. Here is what I came up with for the Orange challenge and the Stash item is Orange things.

 

I chose this super cute Sunflower buggies image from Meljen’s Designs, of course had to do it in the traditional colour of sunflowers and the orange on the other flowers. My stash is the rhinestones and all the cardstock was in my scraps file folder. ( I use a hanging file folder box and have the colours separated into the hanging folders)

Since the image was larger than my largest rectangle die I fussy cut the bee out.

Some of my cards I like to keep without a sentiment especially if they can be used for a get well card as well as a birthday.and this one fits either perfect.
Thanks for stopping by today and hope you will find time to join us in the Colour challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday.

Challenge #106 at the Cheerful Stamp Pad Continues…..

In the Kitchen challenge  is entering the second week at The Cheerful Stamp Pad, If you haven’t joined us yet we would love to see your project having to do with In the Kitchen. Stitchy Bear digis is the sponsor for the challenge. For this week  I picked a little chef and stove, when I first saw it I thought Master Chef Junior as we just finished watching it a couple of weeks ago, boy those 8 to 13 year olds are sure awesome and here is what I did for the challenge.

I made a square card, I was very excited to find my square plain nesties while working on organizing my craft room so I had to use them. The patterned paper is from that 12 X 12  kitchen paper pad and decided to forgo the pink and blue and pick up the green and yellow that is in the paper.

Here is a better look at the patterned paper as I will probably find a suitable sentiment to print from the free verse site I have found.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful week, find some time to join in the fun challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

SoSS challenge # 29 L is for Leprechaun

Or make a St. Patrick Day’s card!!! The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers would like you to join them in the “wearing of the green” with or without snark it’s up to you. Some of the sisters went with snark but you will have to check them out for yourself just like I’m going to do. Mine has no snark it just all cuteness.

I only have two St. Patrick’s Day stamps and this is one of them, Fluffles from Stampendous and my sketch is from the Crooked Stamper sketch #2.

Close up of the image and sentiment.

My craft room is beginning to shape up now with the help of my daughter and her friend, it is a new section of the cleaning business and Imy craft room was the “lab rat” or “guinea pig”. My square nestablities finally surfaced, I have looked and looked for them but have no idea where they were found but I’m excited about it. I am sure they have been hiding for three years. My smaller dies are now in a drawer in my cart and they way they changed the room around works fab. Still lots of work ahead for me. 
I would like to put this card in:

Thanks for stopping by today and I would love to see your St. Patrick’s Day projects on the  SoSS challenge blog.

Challenge #191 at SOS is Not so Heavy Metal

Looking for my Clear it Out Post scroll down or click HERE.
Shopping Our Stash challenge 191 is Not so Heavy Metal and we want you to use your oldest metal embellishments on your project. I have no idea how old my clips and brads are but I would venture a guess at least 5 years old for the clips and longer for the brads and they match. Here is what I came up with…..

The stamp I used is from House Mouse Designs

Lots of stash used on this card, the paper is over 5 years old and the lace I have no idea when I bought it but think it was a yard sale find. I have no idea what to call this fold but I used the clips to attach the two sides of the card together. Here is a closer look at the metal stash.

Now on to the rest of the card and the measurements are under tutorials.

The inside of the card.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges:
House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #189 Spring is in the Air or optional Anything Goes.
Gruffies and Guests Anything Goes with the option of  Love is all Around.
Thanks for visiting today and dig out your oldest metal and join in the fun at Shopping Our Stash.

It’s Tuesday~~~Time for a NEW Challenge at CIO

Clear it Out Tuesday has a new challenge….your favourite challenge too, it’s Anything Goes and the Stash item is Anything Goes. The sponsor is a new one, Dr. Digi. Head over there and check out their really cute and funny stamps. I chose a Christmas image called Naughty or Nice, so have a look…….

Since the image was fairly large I kept the card simple, the image was coloured with copics and sn markers, but with labels 8 and layered on decorative labels 8 then added the mini ho ho ho for finish the front.

Close up of the image.

The finished inside of the card, another card for my Christmas stash.

The Cheerful Stamp Pad is “In The Kitchen”

Challenge #106 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is In the Kitchen, we want to see some cooking going on. The sponsor for the challenge is Stitchy Bear Outlet, they have been very good to us on the design team so head over there and check out what they have to offer.  I chose a cute little waitress serving a banana split…..yummy.

The dies I used were Nellie Snellen scalloped oval and Spellbinders plain oval. The patterned paper is from a 12 X 12 Pad of Kitchen papers I bought when I was doing recipe swaps.

Close up of the cute girl and the banana split.

This is the off cut from the oval on the front, I got lazy and didn’t search for a stamp to use on the inside. My craft room is being de-cluttered and organized and I haven’t had time to get the stamps in their proper places yet. So far it’s looking good and the girls that are doing the organizing found my square nestie that I haven’t seen in a couple of years. (that’s bad) It was suggested I stop buying brads lol.
Thanks for visiting today and go find your “kitchen” stuff and join in the fun at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.
