Colour Q and Mercy

This is my entry for Colour Q 45 and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch 86.

I kept making mistakes when I would stick something down I'd realized I had missed a layer. Then I had originally put the little girl down on a plain backgraound and it looked way too blah...so I had to pry her back off the page. Ugh!

LOL...all in all I like how this came out...though the photo doesn't do her any justice. I need a new camera or maybe I just need to learn how to use the one I've got. :)

Mojo Happy Halloween

Here is my card for this weeks Mojo Monday 151.

I have had this stamp set for YEARS!!! I love it! It was actually on the very first order I have ever made with SU! and it's one of my favorite sets.

The colors were obvious...doesn't everyone make their halloween cards in these colors? LOL

Hope you like it...TFL!

K.I.S.S. Masculine

Here is my entry for PPA54:

It is supposed to be simple and well, I think this is simple. I was going to put some punched out gears and some twine, I resisted the urge to dress it up...I didn't even punch out the sentiment! This card took no longer than 5 minutes to make...all in all, pretty simple.

Too bad...so sad

Did you ever wake up in the morning with an idea and you just couldn't wait to make it into a card?! But then when you do, it wasn't what you thought it would be? Well, today is one of those days for me...{sad face}


So, here's my story...it's a long one so brace yourself! Anyway, you know that place between awake and dreaming...when you still remember your dreams? This morning I was there and I pictured a card using Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #85 and using a technique and stamp set we used at convention with the same color scheme. In my head this card was SO pretty and I actually fully awoke hoping that the Color Throwdown #104 was going to be the colors I was thinking about using. But, what are the odds of that...right?

Well, I went to the CTD blog and, OMG!!! there they were!!!! The EXACT colors I had dreamed about!!! Fate, right?! So, I spent time with the boys all morning...finally got the little one down for a nap and the big one was upstairs playing with his pal, Uncle Stuart. What a perfect time to go downstairs and make my masterpiece.

As fate would have it I'd create something that is not at all how I pictured it and though I am very sad at how this card turned out I am posting it anyway. I can't explain what happened, but I blew it and am now too sad to stamp. But, the story was fun to share anyway.

Thank you SO much for visiting my blog today and reading my winded story. Have a great evening everyone!

Mission 4 Macie

About a month ago, while doing my daily blog hop, I hopped on over to Snappy Stampin' w/Arielle and saw this card and LOVED it! I had never done a digi stamp card, but knew that this little image would be my first!

This Sugar Stick Mission 4 Macie digi is for such a great cause. I just hope I did her justice. You'll be seeing her again here, I'm sure.

I figured since my main image wasn't SU! I could throw a few other things non-SU! in there too. I got the colors from this weeks Colour Q Challenge 44 and the sketch is Sweet Sunday Sketch 75 from back in June.

Welcome Baby

This is my entry for Curtain Call Color Challenge {Act 41}. This challenge just screamed baby boy to me...seeing as how I only have boys, I seem to get that a lot.

Let's see...this is the first time I ever used my Choo Choo stamp set and the Lattice embossing folder. I think it turned out ok...a little bit crooked, but I'll fix that...lol!

Always Elegant

Two posts in two days?!!! Here is my Clean and Simple 101.

It's not exactly "clean and simple" but it has the same layout. LOL

I'm so digging this new Elegant Lines embossing folder. It is SO beautiful and, well, elegant.

I tried applying rhinestones, but stickles worked best. For some reason I'm having a hard time editting my photos...they not looka so nice (in the best Italian accent I can do).

Hope you like it!
