A bit "off"

That was the challenge for the Flourishes challenge for World Card Making Day. They provided the sketch and the focal point is "off", not straight and neat like I usually do.

For this card, I decided to go the Halloween route. I found Witchybella in my image stash while I was looking for something else. The fun paper is Basic Grey Eerie collection, love it!!

So pleased with how this turned out, it was definitely the quickest card of the day! And with that, I am off to bed...hope to get another few cards made in between laundry, grocery shopping, window shopping (for windows lol) and some painting. Oh and cleaning up today's card making mess!

Thanks for visiting!!

Girls just want to have fun!!

Another challenge completed, woohoo!!!

This card is for WCMD09C - Stamping Bella's Girls Just Want to Have Fun challenge. Show what you and your girlfriends do to have fun and if you could, include some 80's flair.

I believe the image is called Shopabellas - I could be wrong though since its an image I got from my good friend, Terry, quite some time ago. It was perfect for this challenge since my girlfriends and I love to shop! They love shopping for clothes and I love to shop for scrap supplies and books! The paper is Basic Grey Urban Prairie collection and of course I had to add another flower and brad LOL!

Here are the copics I used:
And the sketch:
I'm off to relax for a bit and then hope to get at least one more challenge completed before bed. I'm having a ball making cards today!

Another Challenge Done!!

I am having such a great time participating in the Splitcoast challenges! You can find the master list HERE!

WMCD09D was a triple challenge, use the sketch provided which you can see HERE, make it a thank you card and include the color brown. I thought this challenge would be easy...again ha, ha on me!! Do you think I could find a thank you stamp in this mess?? I did find my Thanks cuttlebug folder still new in its package so I used that instead of a stamp, if nothing else I could have cut something with my cricut.

This is Daisybella by Stamping Bella. She was in my image box just begging to be used LOL! The paper is Basic Grey Mellow collection. And one by one I'm using up my flowers and brads - at this rate, I'll have to make a gazillion cards to get rid of them all! I used copics YR16, Y35,E27, YG17,Ro1 and B14 to color the bella in.

Here's hoping I have one or two more challenges in me!

Happy World Card Making Day!!

It's World Card Making Day!!

It never fails and I'm usually busy when this day rolls around...but this year I made sure I'd have some time to play! Splitcoast has a bunch of different companies hosting challenges throughout today, so far I've only gotten one card done but have plans for at least 2 more! It's hard trying to create when everything is in boxes!

The first challenge of the day was from Unity Stamps, use a quote as a focal point on your card. I thought it would be sooo easy! Ha!! I couldn't find any quote stamps and since my printer is still at my mom's, well I just had to keep digging until I found a stamp to use.

Here is WMCD09A!

The quote is from Unity (you don't have to use Unity stamps to enter, but it was the first one I found!) and the paper is from an Autumn Leaves stack called Pretty Poppies. To jazz it up a bit, I inked the edges of the outside in black and the quote in SU Old Olive. I used copics R89, YR68 and YG25 to color the quote in. Topped it off with a prima flower and brad and voila, a card! I think it took me longer to find all the supplies than it did to put it together.

For the layout, I used ESS52.

Back later with more creations!!
