Let's Rock ! ! !

Hi my scrappy friends old and new, if you're new here, welcome aboard and feel free to browse around.  

To start off with, let me say this......  the following is a sketch!!  LOL  You are probably thinking what's with this crazy lady, I know that's a sketch!!

     

Oh, well, as you can see I did not follow the sketch.... ummm....(with a good imagination, yes)  but after I made this card, I said, well, I will post it anyway and then go to the time out corner... : (   I really liked what I did with the image and thought the piano card was just too cute!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.  So here is what my sketch card came out to be.  :)

I used some Hot Pink Glitter paper on top of a solid black card stock and then added the Guitar patterned paper from Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Wonder Years.

Then I punched out the piano keys with a Stampin' Up Punch... Little Window Word Punch.  I cut out the music notes as well as the Hot Pink Star Burst on my Zing Cutter.  I fussy cut the guitar and then coated it with Diamond Glaze to give the guitar base a really classy shine... just hard to photograph.

Then I stamped the sentiment Turn Up the Volume and Rock Star from Stampabilities.

I love the image, Jillian Jammin from Lacy Sunshine.... oh, how I love her digis...  sooooo cute and I colored her with my Copic Markers.  

You have to go look around the Lacy Sunshine Shop..... Whew!! this is a shoppe... and there is a magazine available now too!!   Just go and see for yourself... unbelievable!!!  Downright Awesome!!!

Here is some great news.....  create your card and join our Through the Purple Haze Challenge and you could be the winner of some free digis from Lacy Sunshine.  That is one great prize!!

So get to Scrappin' to make it Happin'  !!

Oh, there is a sketch to follow.... LOL!!

Well, that's it for today,

Until next time

Take Care and God Bless

Va Va Voom

Hi my friends old and new, glad you are stopping by to visit and I do hope you enjoy what you see.

Well, this lady, Ms. Razz Matazz, is sort of sassy, devilish, or maybe planning her next Mardi Gras Costume for my home town, New Orleans, La. USA.  Oh, she would fit right in, too!!  So lets move on....

Here she is, I think she is an awesome digi and she is from Rick St. Dennis and of course she is Miss Razz Matazz.  it took a little time coloring, especially, since I don't do much yellow, not one of my favorite colors, but I think she looks pretty snazzy...  think???   Give some comments on this one to let me know what you think.  Good or Bad, I need them all!!   And you really need to check out this store, unbelievable!!!  A great shopping place....  Whew!! I am going to need to get out of retirement and find a job...  LOL

So starting off with the makings of this card, I colored my image with my Copic Markers.
I used Recollection Paper for my card base.
The patterned paper is from G.C.D. Studios, Designer Paper, Chianti Collection, Patchwork Dots.  Whew!  that's a lot for a name and it's old and out of my stash.  LOL

I then glued some crystal and black stones of different shapes on the image and it really made it POP!!
I used a feathery type cord to frame the picture and that's about it.



So now it's your turn to get your creation entered in the Through the Purple Haze Challenge and maybe you will be the winner of some great digis!!  Woo Hoo.... I love winning free stuff... :-)

My friends, it's time for me to move on.... I have a busy day today getting more cards ready.

So until next time

Take care and God Bless

So now let me tell you about the makings of my card.,

The red and blue cardstock is Recollections.
Then the pattern paper, oh, gosh, it's been around here a while... but it's from The Paper Studio.
I colored my furry friend with my Copics E29, E25 and E35.
I made a tiny double bow and hung a little tag "Licks & Kisses".

Wait!!! there's more... I printed the image twice, colored the first one and then colored only the head of the second and fussy cut it and put it on a wobble... so this little guy even shakes his head!!!!

Smiles for our Sunshine Children

Hello, I hope you're have a great day!  I am feeling awesome because I have two cards to send to the Sunshine Mail Foundation.  It just puts joy in my heart to know these kids get so excited to receive cards and other donations and that it puts a big old smile on their faces.  Now who wouldn't feel good about that?  

So here is what I have made and I hope you enjoy them and perhaps get some inspiration to send some cards too!!

My first card I used some patterned paper from my stash.
I printed my sentiment with a Just Rite stamp and cut it out with a circle punch.
My image, Little Bear Garden Delight, I think is precious, and it is from our generous sponsor Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.
I colored the image with my Copic Markers.
I tied a little red bow and there you go .

 Now lets move on to one more card for our Sunshine Children.

This little cutie is from Stamp Art Design by Kathryne also and her name is Fiona Fairy.
This was also made by using paper from Paper Studio.  
I colored the adorable image with my Copic Markers.
Tied a pretty pink bow and here we have another card to be sent to Sunshine Mail.

I just enjoy creating these for the kids.  Here is where you can get some info and I hope you get some of the awesome enjoyment from helping too!

Well, my friends, thanks for stopping by and if you are here for the first time enjoy your visit, browse around and see what's been going on here.  I've been pretty busy over the past few weeks, so there's lots to see.

So until next time,

Take care and God Bless.

This little guy is standing on his tippy toes sending mail to some lucky persons.  He's just adorable!!!!
I started with the base of my card using Recollections cardstock from my stock.... not going to say stash... stock sounds great!  LOL
I used patterned paper from K& Company, "Sea Glass".
I colored my image with my Copic Markers.
The Postal Items are Rub-ons from October Afternoon, "Boarding Pass".    It has been so very long since I used Rub-ons, but seen them hanging on the rack and said... woooo hoooo, just what I need.
I cut the sentiments from a page from K & Company from same pack as mentioned before and matted them with cardstock from my stock.  ; )

Make a Flower

Hello, glad you came back to visit and hope you enjoy yourself and feel at home.  The card I have for today is a digital card.... no image to color, but a beautiful card when done.  So here we goooo!

I received the digital paper set from our most generous Sponsor, Crafts U Print and truly enjoyed working with it.  I just cut the layers out and popped each one up with foam tape.  I also popped up the Happy Birthday sentiment, but hard to see in the photo. 
I added some pearls along the lacy edges.
I made my flower with some pale pink Gossamer Ribbon that I gathered to make the rose and buds and used a greed Gossamer Ribbon for a few leaves.
(This is the 3rd flower I put on here.... just couldn't get the right feel if you know what I mean.  So I was pleased with the softness of this one and I think it looks pretty.
That's all that needs to be done as the Digital Card is so easy peasy to make. 

Crafts U Print has some very beautiful digital downloads to print for any occasion.   You need to check out their store and see for yourself.... unbelievable!  A one stop shopping store.

After you check out their store, how about making a creation and joining the challenge at 
Through The Purple Haze.  Lots of fun, prizes, and we'd love to have you join us.

Go to our blog and see the awesome creations the DT members have come up with!!

That's all for now..... but will be back real soon.  See Ya!

Until next time

Take care and God Bless
