Mojo Monday Sketch meets House Mouse Movie challenge

2009-10-21T13:53:00.000-07:00

Happy Wednesday everyone! First of all my little House Mouse image was part of a blog candy prize and I'm so thrilled that I won it! Stephanne,(Stephanne Blogging? Oh Dear)thanks again for your generousity!

I have to say that my little image reminds me of STUART LITTLE! This little stamp is actually named "Relaxing Bubbles". I stamped him with Versafine black ink, embossed him with clear EP, and layered him on two label shapes from Stampabilities. The blue dot paper is by Chatterbox (dark sandbox flowers), the ivory/blue stripe is by Cross-My-Heart(Rosanne Herskind), and the blue swirl is Making Memories (dark scroll). All the bubbles in the image have been done with Glossy Accents. The 'jelly' water drops are from Cloud 9 Designs, pearls are from Recollections, sentiment is from Hero Arts and the ribbon is a no-name I picked up somewhere in my travels.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

High Hopes Christmas Challenge--no traditional colors

2009-10-19T13:39:00.000-07:00

This was a fun challenge. I stamped the image with a silver ink and embossed her with clear embossing powder. I used Tombow markers to color her. The image is layered on a Spellbinder Nestability shape that has been embossed with a cuttlebug snowflake folder. The striped paper is from DaisyBucket Designs and is called Love You--Love Notes. The solid color is from a paper stack from DCWV-Jewel Colors. I used snowflake brads in silver and blue for embellishment.

Thanks for stopping by--Rosanne

Just Magnolia Bright and Zingy Challenge

2009-10-19T10:32:00.000-07:00

Happy Monday and what a beautiful day we have here! The sun is shining and it's very comfortable outside. Awesome!!
I only have one Tilda stamp at the moment, so you will see her in many challenges for awhile. I stamped her with Versa Mark black ink and embossed her with clear embossing powder. She is sitting on a chair from WOJ, which has been stamped on a striped cardstock is from DCWV Gitter Mat Stack, and the solid colors are from same company and a stack pad called Jewel Colors. The striped paper is from DaisyBucketDesigns, and is called Love You--Love Lines. The flowers are from Prima. I used a spellbinder nestie for the image to be layered on, and I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the bottoms of the cardstock.

It was a fun challenge, and I enjoyed taking part in it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Creative Card Crew--Challenge 33

2009-10-17T19:27:00.000-07:00

I had posted this card on my site, but not for any challenge--now it would fit perfectly in the Creative Card Crew's challenge of children and babies.

I am so excited at how this little card turned out. It's for my great-nephew's 4th birthday. He's not feeling too well at the moment, so I hope this will cheer him up!
I used High Hopes stamps for the images. I love those little cuties!! I put them all on corragated kraft paper, and put those on dark green bazzil paper. It doesn't have a lot on it, but just enough for a little guy to understand. I got the tutorial from google, (Annette Rolls)but the original instructions from there came from a lady named Marie Aviza's site. She called it an Accordian Fold Card.

Thanks for checking in--have a wonderful week!

Bronte and Bella's Challenge(Mo's Challenge Blog)

2009-10-12T14:28:00.000-07:00

I was so excited to be able to take part in this challenge, but I think I'm too late! Oh well, I'm posting it anyway.

I used a wonderful Mo image from "dani and friends". These images are so true to life, it's spooky! I colored the image with tombow markers, and used my spellbinder wizard to do the cutout I layered her on. Then, I traced around the die cut and made a bigger one in purple paper (it tends to look grey!!) I used a cute little striped paper for the background, and had some pretty little pearl flowers to add further embellishments. I used Prima flowers, and that finished off the card. Hopefully, I'll be earlier next time.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

2009-10-12T12:22:00.000-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving all! I am so happy to be able to take part in the Magnolia challenges at last! I just received my order from Simon Says Stamp with my Tilda stamp! I used Tombow markers to color Tilda and went to my scrap box to get the 'cloud' paper and the red strip I used at the bottom of the card. I don't know what companies they are from. I used two different kinds of Prima flowers, and the swing that Tilda is sitting on is a stamp from Whiff of Joy. I used two different ribbons on the side, and those came from Michael's. The sentiment is a sticker from Starform. I embossed the circle with a swiss dot cuttlebug folder. I then distressed it using Ice Blue Colorbox ink.

I am looking forward to future challenges.

Charisma Cards meets Creative Card Crew

2009-10-12T12:06:00.000-07:00

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Seems to be a beautiful fall day out today. My card is celebrating a wedding! I used the recipe from Charisma Cards, 1 ribbon; 3 flowers; 3 papers (I used 4) and 1 charm. My image is a Whiff of Joy stamp, and my papers are from a 6 x 6 stack from Making Memories, appropriately called "Wedding". The bride has been colored with tombow markers, and her bouquet and headpiece are colored, then covered with Flower Soft for added embellishment. The flowers are from Prima, and I actually used a sketch from Friday Sketchers challenge from 2 or 3 weeks ago for my card.

It's been a while since I have posted. I hope I didn't forget anything!

Alison's Baby Card

2009-10-12T11:13:00.000-07:00

This card is for Alison Acton who is expecting her first baby very soon. Her team thought it would be nice to send her as many cards as possible so I wanted to participate in the fun!! I used a stamp from Inkadinkadoo and cut it out with my spellbinder nestability oval shapes. I layer it with kraft corrugated paper, and then another oval in blue striped paper. I used a white ribbon for some embellishment, along with the sticker letters (notice the little teddy bears in the letters?) and little hearts in the corners. I colored the carriage with tombow markers.

Enjoy your new little baby Alison!

Cupcake Challenge /Green/Pink/Brown/Animals and Flowers!

2009-08-01T20:05:00.000-07:00

I had such fun doing this card! I just love this horse stamp from Victoria Case. I stamped it with black Versa Fine ink, and embossed it with clear embossing powder. I colored it with Tombow markers. The paper, which is the color combo of pink, green and brown, is from The Paper Company and is "Flower Argyle". It was made for this challenge! I then used Prima flowers in brown shades, put small pink roses in the centres and used my new EK Success leaf punch to make some more embellishments. The ovals, both plain and scallopped are Spellbinder Nestibilities. I used another punch to make the circle for the sentiment, which is from Hero Arts. I topped it off with a swirly clip from Creative Impressions. Fun, fun, fun!

Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend--Rosanne

Penny Black Recipe Challenge

2009-07-26T16:14:00.000-07:00

I finished this card for the Penny Black Recipe Challenge: 3 ribbons; 2 flowers; and 1 charm. I used matching papers from Darcy's Country Designs, flowers from Prima Flowers, the charm is from Modern Romance, and the ribbons are all from my stash. The adorable image is from Penny Black. I love the toads! The ovals were done with my spellbinder nestabilities.

Expression In Jewels: House Mouse White on White Challenge

House Mouse White on White Challenge

2009-07-25T15:56:00.000-07:00

I made this card for the House Mouse white on white challenge. It was interesting to see how you could make the same color stick out from other elements on the card. I used Bazzill cardstock to start with, and layer it with lighter white cardstock embossed with a cuttlebug folder of swiss dots for the background, and another piece of cardstock done with a textile folder for the image. I was able to use white ribbon for trim, along with white pearls and white lace. A fun challenge!

Penny Black Soft and Sweet/Sketch and Stash Challenge 15

2009-07-24T17:16:00.000-07:00

This little card is for the Penny Black Soft and Sweet challenge and the Sketch and Stash Challenge 15. For the background on the white cardstock, I used some co-ordinating papers from Provo Craft "bitty Scrap Pads", this one being "Just Ducky Baby" by Marie Cole. I made 2 paper flowers to match and I must say they turned out very nicely! The image, a sweet little mouse by Penny Black. I just got it todayas a matter of fact. I was very anxious to try it out!

A fun little challenge, and when you can combine two of them, that's even better!

Die Cut Dreams Challenge Blog

2009-07-23T17:52:00.000-07:00

I made this card for the Die Cut Dreams Challenge--and the theme is Black and White. I'm really getting to love doing these black and white cards! They look so elegant don't they??? Anyway, the card itself is made from a Bazzill cardstock in white. I layered it with a black and white print from GCD Studios. I also used the same print to do an oval in the middle with my Spellbinder Nestabilities. I used some of the scrap to punch out little flowers in both the print and a plain black cardstock. I used a lighter weight white cardstock over the print to make another layer of embossed Swiss Dot (Cuttlebug). I used the plain black to make a smaller oval for the Hero Arts sentiment and to put a small square in the centre of the large oval. To this I added a 3-D image of flowers in a grey/white/silver mix. I thought this would be a lovely sympathy card. A great challenge and I look forward to many more.

Happy crafting--Rosanne

Friday Sketchers Challenge

2009-07-23T15:41:00.000-07:00

I made this card for the Friday Sketchers Challenge. It was a great sketch, not overly complex, which was nice for a change. I used an image from The Greeting Farm, stamped her in black Versa Mark ink, embossed her with clear embossing powder, and colored her with Tombow markers. I used a heavy pink cardstock for the background, and made matching flowers and paired the pink with a busy little pattern to make them pop. I added a sentiment from Hero Arts, and put that on an oval from my Spellbinder Nestibilities. The pink gems I got from the Rubber Room. They are selling these gems in bags for under $1.00, and they are jammed packed. Lots of variety as to size and colors. Oh yes, I finished the card off with 2 Martha Stewart pearls. All in all, a fun little challenge!

Happy Thursday--Rosanne

Stamptacular Sunday Challenge /Build a Card

2009-07-20T18:47:00.000-07:00

This was really an awesome challenge! Wonderful idea to have to find the needed elements, but also a great way to see some new blogs! Great work by the DT--look forward to more, inventive challenges.

I believe I have all the elements--I have blue, oval, matting, stamped image, 2 more colors(pink and brown), ribbon, flowers, charm, sparkle, and a friendship themed sentiment (you're the best!). The blue papers are from Chatterbox Inc., and the ovals were done with a spellbinder nestibility. The stamped image is a Serendipity stamp, the flowers are Prima flowers, the charm is from an unknown source, the sparkle is Stickles, and the sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts. All in all, great fun to do.

Happy Monday everyone--Rosanne

Truly Scrumptious Challenge

2009-07-19T10:46:00.000-07:00

I made this card for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge sketch, and their color scheme of black, white and one other color. I used black cardstock for the card itself, and the outer circle, white cardstock for the inner circle and the strip down the side, and the printed cardstock is Cosett Collection "Floral Garden". The sentiment is Hero Arts. I used two different sized flower punches to make the little black and white flower. The 'other' color is orange, and I used it in the ribbon and the orange flower in the middle is a sticker from Magenta. I also used a black sticker for the stripe down the middle of the white rectangle. A fun challenge!

Happy Crafting--Rosanne

Cupcake Craft Challenge/The Next Level

2009-07-17T18:25:00.000-07:00

This card was made using the black and white color challenge from the Cupcake Craft Challenge and the sketch from The Next Level. The black patterned paper is from Michael's, and it's GCD Cosette Collections, Stars and Swirls. I love the pattern in the paper. I used it as well in the little flowers along with plain white cardstock, the same as the white circle and the sentiment tag. I used little white button brads for the flower centers and I embossed the white circle with a cuttlebug folder "swiss dot". The large tulips are the 3-d image, and they are from a company in the UK, but I don't know the company name. All in all, and awesome challenge!

Charisma Card/Cute Card Thursday Challenges

2009-07-17T12:20:00.000-07:00

This card combines the sketch from Charisma Cardz and the Xmas in July theme of Cute Card Thursday. The adorable image is from High Hopes, the dark green cardstock is Hunter Cordorouy from The Paper Company, and the printed green is Americana Traditional Designs. Unfortunately, I do not know the companies that the reds ,papers are from. I used three snowflake brads, and three small snowflake stickers. The ovals are spellbinder nestabilities, and the sentiments are stickers from the dollar store. It was fun to be able to combine the challenges.

Happy crafting--Rosanne

Triple Challenge//Papertake Weekly/My Time to Craft/Stampavie and More

2009-07-15T09:45:00.000-07:00

This little card is fullfilling three challenges this week. I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly, and the requirements from Stampavie and More (wanted to use colors Red and Blue), and My Time to Craft(A bird in the Hand).

I used a beautiful red flourish background cardstock, but I have no idea who it is made by. The blue snowflake paper is by The Robin's Nest, "Dark water color admiral". The plain blue is a bazzill cardstock. The image is High Hopes Winter Angel. I stamped it with black Versa Mark ink and colored it with Tombow markers. The scalloped shapes were made with Spellbinder nestabilities. A matte finish snowflake finished the card off perfectly. A fun card to do and I enjoyed being able to combine the challenges.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Secret Crafter Saturday Sketch

2009-07-14T17:51:00.000-07:00

I enjoy working with Victoria Case designs. This particular digital image is fun to do. I printed it on watercolor paper so I could use Tombow markers to color it. The paper is Graphic 45, Baby 2 Bride Collection, and I'm not sure what kind of cardstock the green is, but I used a Cuddlebug embossing folder to give it some texture. The pearl embellishments are Martha Stewart.

A fun challenge!

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge

2009-07-14T17:26:00.000-07:00

This little card was fun to make. I used a digital image from Victoria Case called "Toadilly", along with my computer generated sentiment. The matching background paper is from Darcy's Country Folk--very nice to work with! The little frog eyelets are cute, kinda fussy to use, but they are from Eye-Lets Etc. and the ribbon is from Michaels. The image was printed on watercolor paper from an inkjet printer, and I heatset the image. Tombow markers were used to color it in.

I enjoyed the challenge and look forward to doing more!

Peachy Keen Stamp Sketch Challenge

2009-07-12T12:56:00.000-07:00

Here is a card I made for the challange. I used an image from High Hopes "Bediliah Butterfly", pink cardstock, not sure where it's from, blue cardstock "Denim Guest Floral" from Chatterbox Inc., and the sentiment is from Artful Stamper. The blue ribbon is some from previous projects.

The challenge was very enjoyable, and I look forward to being in future challenges!

My Time to Craft--Music to my ears challenge

2009-07-11T15:24:00.000-07:00

The image on this card is 'Horse of Course' from Victoria Case. I love her designs. This particular image can be purchased in either digital or rubber. The background musical paper is from Botanicabella Collection called 'Dragonfly Duet'. Spellbinder nestabilities did the ovals--both plain and scalloped. The brads in the corners are from Queen and Co. 'Make Waves' and a Fiskars Lace punch did the corners.

I enjoyed this challenge and look forward to being in more challenges.

A B C Challenge--V is for Vellum

2009-07-11T15:14:00.000-07:00

This is a card I made for a special birthday. It is on cordorouy hunter green cardstock from The Paper Company. I got the polka-dot vellum from the dollar store. I used stickers from various companies for the embellishment. The 3-D flower I used is from a company in the UK, but I don't know the name. When I purchased these flowers, I got quite a few different ones, and put them together at the same time. Unfortunately, I just put them in a box, and of course, the wrapping has long gone out in the garbage. The ovals have been done with Spellbinders Nestabilities.

I'm very pleased with how this card turned out.

Happy Saturday--Rosanne

Friday Sketchers

2009-07-11T13:53:00.000-07:00

This is the card I made for Friday Sketchers. I used an image from Suzy Toronto. Her images are so much fun to work with. The background paper is from Chatterbox Inc. "Denim Guest Floral", and I used an organza lace and Prima Flowers as embellishments. The brads in the middles of the flowers are from Queen and Co. The image was stamped with Versa Fine black ink, and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored the image with Tombow markers.

The sketch was easy to work with, and I enjoyed this challenge very much!

Papertake Weekly Challenge--My Favorite Things

2009-07-09T16:04:00.000-07:00

I love weddings--who doesn't?? This image from Stampendous, "Fran's Fashions" has got to be one of the most beautiful wedding stamps around. I had always wanted to see what this would be like if it was done in black and white, and this was the perfect time to try it out. Normally, I would have done this on a white background, but thought I'd kick it up a notch by stamping it on black. I used a white versa mark stamp pad, and used detail white embossing powder. To make the tuxedo stand out a bit more, I used an Ink Essentials pen to color in the shirt of the tux. To pick up the buttons and the pearls on the wedding gown, I used stickles. When the light hits it right, it looks like real crystals on the gown! The patterned paper is from Magenta, "Bold design and Butterflies". An EK Success edger punch finished the edges of both the card and the patterned paper. The burgandy flowers I had in my craft treasures from years gone by!! I hate to throw anything out cause you never know when you'll need it--perfect instance with the flowers!! The little corner stickers are from an unknown source. When I bought them, they had no package with them. I purchased all of my supplies for this project at The Rubber Room. All in all, I'm so pleased with how this card turned out!

Hope you are enjoying a few of your 'favorite things'...

Penny Black Saturday Color Challenge

2009-07-07T17:48:00.000-07:00

This week's challenge was red, white and blue. I made this simple little card using a Penny Black sticker on white cardstock background. I used two flowers from Marianne's with blue brads in the centres. I used a blue/white stripe on plain red background. It seems to me that I used a sketch from another challenge, but can't think of it at the moment...such is life!!

Happy Tuesday--Rosanne

Splendid Stamping/Greeting Farm Sketch Challenge

2009-07-07T17:34:00.000-07:00

I loved doing this challenge! I loved the bright colors that are from Darcy's collection. The image is from The Greeting Farm, sweet little girls they are! I had the gems in my craft room, but they weren't in a package, so I don't know who to credit for them. The sentiment is mine. I got the breast cancer brads from Stamp Art, and the rest of the supplies came from the Rubber Room in London.

A wonderful challenge!

Cute Card Thursday--A stitch in time

2009-07-07T16:50:00.000-07:00

I thought a gatefold card here would be perfect. I used matching papers from Darcy's, I stamped the image with a stamp from Inkadinkadoo, rested it on some spellbinder nestability ovals, and used some gems I had hanging around. The sentiment I got off a sheet of stickers from the dollar store. I used a marker to put on the faux stitch lines.

My neice will enjoy getting this card!

Bue and Green should never be seen!

I made this card for the Friday Daring Cardmakers color challenge--blue and green should never be seen!
This little card was so much fun to make! I started with a digital image from Cute Daisy Mae Designs. I used a Fiskar template to do the 'buggie' background, and a frog punch to add the little extras. I can't remember the name of the blue/green paper I used as the background, but it was perfect for this project. The sentiment is a Hero Arts stamp.

A very enjoyable challenge!

Penny Black Sketch Challenge

This was a fun challenge! I love the stamp, but then, who wouldn't! I used Draci's co-ordinating papers for the design elements, Marianne's paper flowers to embellish, and found a lovely little dragonfly brad to add to the mix. The sentiment stamp is from Hero Arts. The pearl is from MS.

I look forward to the next challenge!

Victoria Case Color Challenge

I had fun doing this challenge. I was glad to find a use for the corragated kraft paper that frames the image. I've had it forever! I used a cuttlebug folder to give the black a little pizzaz, as well as the red oval. Spellbinder nestabilities made quick work of ovals. I had only enough ribbon for the small bows, and managed to find one small red brad for the sentiment. The image is colored with Tombow markers, and the card is completed with black heart stickers.

Thanks for a chance to play--I really enjoyed it!

Tuesday Fred-she-said Challenge

2009-06-22T16:40:00.000-07:00

Here is my card. The challenge here was to use blue, brown and bling, along with a digital image. I used a digi stamp, Willy the Worm, from Victoria Case Designs. I used brown cardstock for the card itself, along with using the same brown to back the nestability cutout for the image. I used Fiskar scissors to trim the brown oval. I used blue/brown stripes and polka dotted paper from Darcie's Country Folk. The flowers are from Marianne's Designs, and the irridescent stickers trimming the front of the card are from Starform. All in all I enjoyed the challenge, although it is a late entry.

Here is another submission for the Wedding Challenge for the Pink Elephant Challenge. The 'bling' is genuine Swarovski crystals, with sterling silver accents. This set would make any woman feel like a princess, whether it be her wedding day or prom night.

Pink Elephant Challenge

2009-06-17T14:19:00.000-07:00

Hereis my card. I used an Artful Stamper stamp for the front of the card, and Stampendous for the sentiment. I'm sorry I don't know the maker of the different papers I used, but I truly enjoyed making this card. I used a dove punch for the little silver doves, and a fiskars punch for the corners. The flowers were some that I had left over from when I used to make wedding photo albums. Weddings in general are so exciting!!
