Good Times


A super digital image from Sassy Studio Design.  I have colored her with copics.  The blue paper had a die cut out of the center, a Spellbinders die.  The Sentiment and the flower are chipboard die cuts from DCWV. The flourishes are pillow stickers from K&Company.  I had printed the image on white card and then I cut it out, not thinking that I would end up putting it back on white card stock.

Having some great weather here for this time of year, certainly makes it easy to get around, hope it continues and we don't get snow anytime soon.

I am entering this card into the http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/prismaandothermediums Twisted Thursday challenge Punches and Dies.

Tea Time


Tea Time is from two very pretty images from Priscilla Styles for the 5th and last CDAC Challenge in this series which ends November 21st.  This is CDACPC23.  I have painted the teapot and cups with Stargazer Pearlescent watercolor in Nova White which appears to be almost silver and quite shiny on the card, but the picture does not capture the shine.  The green & blue are watercolors from Yasutomo.  Both of the Designer  Papers are from K & Company.  The sentiment is also from Priscilla Styles.  The die cut is from Nellie Snellen.  No embellishments because I was happy with it just as it was.  I am entering it into Challenge CDACPC23 - Use this image.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

For the Love of Sewing


Pattie's Creations supplied this digital image for the cdacpc22a challenge.  This part of the progressive challenge is only on for a couple more days, so I am kind of late with my entry.  I colored the image with copics, added a couple of buttons which I colored with copics and some pins to the pincushion which I had in my sewing supplies.  The DP is from My Mind's Eye and the sentiment is from DCWV.  I then added Ranger Distress Ink to the DP and the image using three different shades.  The lace was from my stash.

It's been raining here and the winds are fairly strong, but sounds like we might get much worse in the next couple of days.

Mushrooms from the Forest


What color are mushrooms!  Any pretty color you would like them to be!  This sweet image is from  Digi Stamps for Joy.  I colored the image with copics, and then applied Rangers Glossy Accents all over the image. I mounted it on a die cut from Spellbinders.  Added a strip of DP across the background DP and a ribbon with bow.  I then stuck several pins that I had made into the bow.  This is rather a dark card, but if I have time I will make another in lighter colors.  I am entering this in the CDAC Progressive Challenge 22a and 22b.  And Challenge #53 Digi Stamps for Joy, With a Masculine Twist.

I will have to get moving and get my other cards made, don't know where time goes these days, but the weather has not been too bad lately, not too cold to be out and about.

Music for Teens


I find that making a card for a teenage boy is sometimes quite a chore, but D'Arcy's Diaries has some wonderful images that suit my grandsons to a T.  This image was colored with copics, the DP is from DCWV.  I really like the way the colored circles on the paper sort of framed the image.  The stamp sentiment is from Inkadinkadoo.

Hopefully I will be over this cold soon and will be able to keep up with blogging better than I have over the last few weeks.  My husband is down to one physio session a week from three, so that will free up some time for me.  My curling does start next week, so I will be there Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, did not sign up for competitive curling this year as Norms physio is on the morning they have that.  

Pretty Lady


I just loved this image from Anjies Antics from the moment I saw it.  Don't know if I did it justice, but I do like the haughtiness of her raised chin and her beautiful features.  I colored her with copics, mounted the image on black cs and then used the blue for the actual card.  The Happy Birthday sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp.  

Fill Your Shoes


Wow, didn't realize how far behind I was in posting my cards to my blog.  But here I go again to-day.
This is a wonderful digi from Mo Manning, I do love all her images.  I made this card for one of my friends who is the organizer for a group of 15 - we golf together, and have all kinds of get-togethers for everyones birthday during the year, sometimes we celebrate two or three birthdays at the same time if they are all in the same month!  I did not add anything fancy, just let the image speak for itself.  Colored with copics, sentiment was computer generated and the organdy butterfly from Crafts.

Florida Girl


This is another image from Sassy Studios - isn't she gorgeous?  Such a fun image to work with, colored her with copics and popped her up on a google map of Florida.  What could be easier!  Added Sentiment from computer.
This is for my other friend named Alice and she was thrilled with it as she leaves Ontario every winter and goes south to Florida.

Happy Birthday Alice


Image from Sassy Studios, colored with copics.  Ribbon from Crafts, Flowers on side embossed then colored and pink sequin type flowers added to centers.  Sentiment computer generated.

For Justin


This great for a guy image is from D'Arcy's Diaries.  It is so hard to find guy images, but I shopped at D'Arcy's and got a couple, along with some girls of course.  This card is for my grandson Justin who is just turning 17.  The guy in the card looks like he has a lot on his mind, as Justin has had these last few weeks of his summer vacation.  Justin was drafted to play hockey for the Barrie Colts, an Ontario Hockey League Team.  This will mean that he will have to be billeted with a family in Barrie so that he can play hockey and go to school there to get his grade 12.  This is about 100k from where he lives now.
The image is colored with copics.  DP is from Teresa Collins, the tag from Me & my Big ideas.  The sentiment and the stickers Slammer and On The Ice  are from my stash.  I had fun making this card, hope you enjoy it.
I am entering this card into:  Darcy's Diaries Digi Challenge #11  -   Anything Goes

Summer & The Tops Down


Another wonderful image from Bugaboo, this time a card for my son, who does drive a convertible in the summer months.  I have colored the image with copics, added some black Peel Offs to frame the image.  The DP is from My Minds Eye and the sentiment was created on the computer.  A few jewels to add some bling.

Friends and Wine


These three characters were so much fun to color, the images from Bugaboo are some of my favorites.
In the photo the card looks a little wonky, hope it's just the way I have it on the stand!  I don't think it is quite that crooked.  Colored the images with copics,  adding Glossy Accents to the wine glasses, and the bottles.  The DP is from My Momenta.  The sentiment is from Bugaboo.
My golfing group is having a party tomorrow for one of the group, Ann.  When we go out for dinner, there are usually three or more of the girls that share a liter of wine, and Ann is one of them, so this card seemed to be just right for the occasion.
I won't be at the party, my hubbys last fall left him very unsteady, even with his walker.  He will be going to physio 3 times a week for the next couple of weeks, so I will be home a lot until he improves.  Maybe I will have time to make more cards!

Hot Hot Days of Summer


These wonderful images are from Digi Stamps 4 Joy, by Jen Lee.  This card is for challenge #46, all about the weather where we live!  We have had extremely hot weather for a month or more, with no rain.  The last few days the temperature was more moderate, but to-day was extremely hot again.  We finally got a downpour of rain to-day,  but it is still hot!  The images were colored with copics, the one on the left is Bikini Becky, and the other is Barbecue Barbz; you can buy them both in the Digi Stamps for Joy Store.  The sentiment and the large sun are from my stash.  I colored the sand with copics, and the sky I used a brush and Ranger Distress Ink, tumbled glass.

This is rather last minute as I had company all week and my husband fell again, but this time no broken bones, but I did have to take him to the hospital emerge to be checked out.  Hopefully he will be feeling better in a few days.

TLC Happy Anniversary


This very pretty Happy Anniversary image is from TLC Creations.  I used copics to color the image.  The DP is from Paper Boutique for Scrapbooking.  I stamped small butterflies at the top, the stamp was from Stampin Up.  Added the cover to an off white card.  - A pretty image to color!

Have grandchildren here again this week, so just pop in and out on my computer when I can get a few minutes.  I really do enjoy them, they grow up so fast and then you don't see them as often, but when they stay for a weeks visit you get to know them pretty well.

Alone TIme


This digital image is from Bugaboo!  I made the card for one of my cardplaying girlfriends 75th birthday.  I hosted cards at my house on Thursday, I had made this card on Wednesday.  Anyway, she really loved the card as it reminded her of her grandmother.  When my friend was little her grandmother used to tell her she had dish diahrea, because everytime dishes were being done she had to go to the bathroom.   The image was colored with copics, added some silver pen to the faucet and the silverware and some Glossy Accents to the soap bubbles.  The DP was from My Minds Eye and I added some black Peel Offs around the DP.  The sentiment was also from Bugaboo!

Flowers In Her Hair


This digital image was designed by Jen Lee for Digi Stamps 4 Joy.  Challenge #45 at Digi Stamps 4 Joy is to use Black and white + one other color.  Usually, when making this type of card, I choose red, but just to be different this time - I went for orange!  I think she is so sweet!  Colored her with copics.  Added a Card stock circle of orange, cs scalloped circle which I edged in black, so that it would show up.  Added some black gems from Jolee's.  Used a corner punch on black paper (the punch has no name on it) and then mounted the card behind the corner pieces.

Charlotte Sassy


This very pretty image is from Sassy Studio, it was a free image to celebrate 700 members on Paper Craft Plantet and to start a Progressive relay of four images.  You had to use each image before you got the next one.  My intentions were good but with all my husbands appointments since he returned home, I did not have time to make a card.  So the first chance I got was for my daughter-in- laws birthday.  I colored her with copics, cut out her dress, added silver glitter to a piece of transparency and sealed the glitter between the layers.  The designer paper is from K&Company, the flowers and embellishments from my stash and the sentiment from Peel Offs. (The glare is from the transparency.)

Dog Days of Summer


Isn't this the coolest dog you every did see!  The two winners of the CDAC May Digital Drawing Contest have provided the images for a Members Special Challenge.  This image is from Patties Creations.  I have colored the images with copics, and added Ranger Glossy accents to the glass.
The DP is from My Minds Eye and the Sentiment was computer generated.

Leggie Lilly


This wonderful image which I think would be great for any young teen is from Jen Leeflang for Digi Stamps 4 Joy. Love those huge eyes!  I started out by printing her on pink very fine denim dp which I was going to use to paper piece her shorts and top, then I changed my thinking and colored her with copics on that paper.  I added Foil embossed swirls from Forever in Time to the side and her hair, the ones in the hair didn't photograph as well as the side ones.  Used a white Pergamano pen on her eyes and shoes.  Sentiment from Peel Offs and DP from my stash.  This is an entry for CDAC Challenge for the month of June, it is one of two images for the challenge.

Have not been making cards or posting lately as my husband has returned home, a week ago now, after two and a half months - two weeks in hospital and two months in a nearby retirement home in a Back to Home Program, recovering from a broken hip.  He is doing very well, staying on the main floor, using his walker in the house.  He will have to catch up on all his doctors and dentist and other appointments he missed while away.  We have been to a few of these already.

Sunny Honeycloud Card and Cupcake


This image is from Pollycraft, they are closing up shop June the 8th.  But they do have some wonderful bargains on their images until then.  I stuck with the colors of turquoise and greens.  The image is colored with copics. Isn't she a real sweetheart with her big blue eyes! The designer papers are from Stamping Up, except the ovals which along with the flowers and lace are from my stash.The charm is from Blue Moon Jewellry, it does have a turquoise stone in the centre of the flower.  I guess my lighting was not too good when I took the picture this afternoon.  But I took the card with me to a party at dinner tonight to give it to a friend June whose birthday is to-day, June 1st.  So I could not do a retake on the picture of the card.
I am entering this card into the MMMSC138 Challenge.
Raining very hard tonight, but I didn't get too wet running back and forth from my car. We hadn't had rain for several weeks, so really needed it.

Anniversary Wishes


We are so lucky that there are so many talented artists that give freely of their time to provide us with such wonderful images for the CDAC Progressive Challenge, this being 16, series 3.  This digital image is from McMahon Five Designs and I have colored everything with copics, and then applied Ranger Walnut stain over all.  The butterflies are a stamp from The Stamp Barn.  The sentiment is a stamp from Kolette Hall.

My son Gord and his wife Linda have been married 20 years next week, and I think I will give them this card.  My eldest son Rob and his wife Sharon will also be married 20 years come September, how time does fly.  Both have wonderful families.
