Teacher Blast Valentine

Todays ways to use it challenge was staples. When I first started stamping I used staples all the time! I havent used them in so long it took me longer to find the staples than it did to make the card! I think staples fit better on fun kids cards. I got some goodies in this week so I inked up the rocket from Pun fun. Brayden is the main reason I got this set. He loves that rocket! I made this

card for his teacher for Valentines Day.

I didnt get a chance to do yesterdays sketch challenge (sc161) so I decided to do a combo challenge card today. I kept my card simple since its been a few days since Ive stamped. I used my seeing stars jumbo wheel on the summer sun and brilliant blue layer. Looking at the card after it was loaded I think next time I will use the wheel in black on blue for a more vibrant background. I went over some of the dots in the wheel background with my white gel pen. The rocket was stamped twice. Once on wc paper and once on ww cs. I colored the rocket on wc paper w/my wc crayons and cut it out and popped it up on the ww layer. I stamped the sentiment in brilliant blue and punched it out with my ww punch. I added blue gingham ribbon and staples to the end of the ww punch. I added yellow staples in the right side corners. Have a great day!

I Scream

I started this card today for the SC but my image was too big but I decided to finish the card. My mojo just hasnt been here the past couple of days.

My stampin time got cut short when I got a call from the school to pick Madison up b/c she wasnt feeling well. I think she's fine she got sick last night I think something she ate didnt sit right on her tummy. She didnt run any fever and only got sick that once but she thought she wouldnt have to go to school today and was very upset this morning when I woke her up for school. "But Im sick I have to stay home with you" she says!

Alana was sick Sunday. That was the insane day! She was fine all morning and we went to go meet Mom for lunch and stampin time and while we were in the restaraunt Alana got sick EVERYWHERE and I will leave it at that!LOL! YUCK!

It Sunday so you know what that means. Featured Stamper day. Todays featured stamper is KathyC. I've never seen her gallery until tonight and I loved the layout of her card that I cased-surprise, surprise huh!??!

I've been wanting to stamp this phone image from Gina K text message set for awhile now and it fit perfect for the image for tonights card. I made this card for Madison for Valentines Day. She loves the phone!LOL! She has a play cell phone she carries with her everywhere! I stamped the on the spot background in teal on cool carribean cs. The 2 flower images are also from the set I stamped them in regal rose and cool carribean and added some black dots. The flower centers also have diamond stickles added to them. The phone image is colored with prismacolor pencils (another surprise I know!LOL!) and blended with gamsol. The face plate area is covered with crystal effects. I layered the phone image on regal rose then teal. I added the teal ribbon and black brads for my embellishments and adhered it to a black card base.

So if any of you pay attention to the time under the post you will notice its about 2 am where I am. Why you say?!! Well Alana stayed with her Nana Joy last night and Madison and Brayden are my nite owl/late sleepers so we didnt get up until almost 10 this am and now I cant sleep!LOL! Hope you have a wonderful day. I forsee a nap in mine!LOL!

Head over heels

Happy Friday! I have a friend who asked me to make a valentine card for her to give to her hubby. She didnt want anything mushy she's like me she likes cute and funny! When I saw todays challenge I thought it would be a good time to make her card and this is what I came up with. She didnt want traditional colors or traditional images like hearts, etc. So I went through my images and found this little duck from High hopes. Isnt he adorable!?!? I printed the sentiment out on my computer since I couldnt find what I was looking for in my sentiments....reason to go shopping!LOL!

I started with a 31/4" x 12" apricot card base folded in half and used the ddsketch for this month. For todays challenge you could use 2 colors and a neutral so for my card I chose barely banana, apricot appeal and black for my neutral. Ive been on a black kick this week..dont know what thats about! You couldnt use any dp or cuttlbug only background stamps. I chose crosshatch and stamped it in black on banana and layered with black. The duck was colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol. The circles are fiskars circle cutter. The sentiment is punched with SU circle punches. It was so hard not to use my scallop punch or add some ribbon to this card! I added 3 black brads instead to finish off the card. I think I need to go make a girly card now!LOL!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Tink Pickin Posies

Sorry no post yesterday. Just a busy day! We went to the Dr. for my sisters ultrasound. Everything looks good and they reduced her risk of the baby having downs to 1 in 375. The only way to know for sure is an amnio but she didnt want to take the risk that are involved. It was so neat though to see the baby you could actually see his face! Isnt it amazing how far medical technology has come!

Okay on to the card. I like to have images already on hand that are colored for last minute cards. You never know when you're going to need them! I colored this tink image about a month ago. I only had like 20 minutes to make a card, post it etc. yesterday before we had to leave so I went digging through my colored images and pulled this tink image out. I still had my rose red dp sitting out so it took me 5 minutes to throw this card together. The image is so big that I didnt have alot of room for embellishments so I decided to just pierce the corners of the main image and it gave it just the right touch! Can you believe I created a card with no ribbon! That has never happened before!LOL!
