Summer is here

I had only a few things planned for today - do some laundry, pack a trip, and pick up hubby at the airport.  Laundry was a breeze since it's only been me around the house the last week.  Packing got done.  And hubby's  flight has been delayed (possibly until tomorrow!) so I had some time to kill and what better way to do it than, play along again with Markerpop's Biweekly Challenge!

Since it's summer, I thought I'd do something along those lines.  I was looking through my stamps and found this great mermaid from Sweet November stamps and thought she was perfect.  So I inked her up and got to coloring.

Once she was colored and fussy cut, I found some papers, grabbed some distress inks and assembled my card.

Quite summery, don't you think??  And I couldn't let the inside go to waste.  I juster some of the strips I had cut off to make the front and added them to the inside.

Great way to kill some time!  Now what to do ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

A Greeting Farm Christmas

I've been super busy the last couple of weeks preparing to sell some things at a local craft fair.  I think I finally have it all ready so I decided to create something for a couple of challenges.  Here's my card:

I used the sketch from the Greeting Farm's Double Take Tuesdays and I colored on something other than white for MarkerPop's tenth challenge.  It was definitely a challenge coloring on the kraft cardstock!

Thanks for stopping by!

Another SOG Christmas

I'm still on a Christmas card kick :) I normally don't get started this early, but I just can't seem to stop.  So here's my latest:

I colored Kaylee's hair, skin, and stockings then I paper pieced the rest.  I added a little glossy accents to the ornament. I popped her up on some foam adhesive before adding her to the card front.

I heat embossed some ribbon with the sentiment and added that at the bottom of the panel.  Then I popped the whole panel onto the final red card base.

And I did the inside to match (just minus the foam adhesive):

Pretty! Sparkly!  And playing along with two challenges this week:

SOG October Sketch Challenge              and MarkerPop #9 - Paper Piecing















Have a great day!

Merry Christmas Pixie

Happy Saturday!!  I've been on a Christmas card kick lately - guess I'm just trying to get lots of cards ready so I can settle on our official cards for the season.  Today, I came up with this fairly simple one -

And I mimicked the front layout on the inside -

Some Odd Christmas

I'm playing along with this month's Some Odd Girl Sketch Challenge.  Here's the sketch:

I decided to rotate it 90 degrees and came up with this Christmas Card:

Looks like the glossy accents wasn't quite dry enough yet!

I decorated the inside using the same papers and the same sketch (there's a few less strips of scallops because I didn't want the inside to be too bulky):

Have a great week!
