Be MIne for Mojo Monday Sketch#71



I made this fab card using the MojoMonday Sketch # 71. I just love how it turned out. Mojo Sketches are just so fabulous....

















Here are the complete details for today's card:
Paper is Basic Grey-Bittersweet
I also used some CTMH Vineyard Berry CS 
The stamp is Magnolia-Sitting Tilda. I colored Tilda in with my copics.
The little hearts were made using my cricut, and then I used my glue pen to adhere the "chunky" sparkles I picked up at Michael's the other day. The "Be Mine" stamp is from the CTMH-All My Love set. 
The super wide and totally fabulous ribbon is from a collection of blog candy I won several months ago...not sure of the brand. 
I didn't even use any brads on here today...crazy!
Thanks for looking.

"Laugh"...Basic Grey & Friday Sketcher Challenge





So today I thought I'd try a Basic Grey Challenge. Basic Grey is a scrapbooking paper company. They make beautiful paper. I went to Michael's and used my 40% off coupon to get a stack. I just love it! This stack is called Urban Prairie. 
I am really happy with the way this card turned out-I just love it! I rarely use black...but decided to challenge myself today to try it. I'm not sure why but the picture really doesn't do this card justice....I think I NEED a light box so I can start taking better pics of my cards....

Anyways, here are the details for my card today:
The image is Tilda from Magnolia; and I colored her in with my copic markers. 
I used my nesties to make the ovals, and my sizzix sizzlit to make the flourishes. 
The ribbon sparkles and brads and CTMH. 
The flowers are from my LSS. 
I made the tag with my cricut. 

I used this week's Friday Sketchers #36:
 


I had to kinda tweek it a bit to do the Basic Grey challenge # 19 too. 

Which was a recipe:
2 patterned paper
3 brads
1 button
1 ribbon & bow

Thanks for looking!

Edwin. :O)...-HH Challenge #14



I colored Edwin in while I was at Emily's swim lessons last night.  It made the hour go by so fast. I was able to get a seat right in the front row so I could watch her and color at the same time-it was perfect. 
I colored Edwin in with my copic markers...I just LOVE my copics-they are so easy to use.  
I outlined Edwin with my warm grey copic to make him"pop".  And I also added stickles to Edwin's wings...he's such an angel. :O)

Anyways, here are the details:
Patterned paper is from The Making Memories Stack-Chloe's Closet
I also used CTMH CS-Desert Sand/Bamboo/Indian Corn Blue
The buckle/ribbon/brads are CTMH
The buttons are from my LSS
The Edwin stamp is Magnolia
The sentiment stamp is from a retired CTMH set
I also used my SU! ticket punch to make the tag, and my Martha Stewart border punch

 Thanks for looking. 

Whoops! I almost forgot to tell you that this card is also an entry for the HH Challenge #14..make a "dude card"

I used a bit of stickles on Tilda.

Paper is from my quickly vanishing stash-Chatter Box: Happy Garden. I love this paper and am sad it's almost gone. But no need to shed tears-Molly and I went to the scrap store after lunch-I bought her some new paper...and slipped a new Making Memories stack in the basket for myself.:O)
Stamp is Tilda-Magnolia
Flowers are prima
Brads are from my LSS
I colored in the image with my copics. I also added some stickles to Tilda's wings.
I made the ovals with my nifty nesties.
