It's Challenge Time!

Hi Crafter's!

Well talk about getting it all wrong!  When browsing through interesting blogs, I'll add them to my favorites link in Chrome.  So... This card was supposed to be for a few Challenges.  One of them for challenge 36 over at Incy Wincy Designs... Well... When I visited their site this morning I never bothered to check if I'm on the current challenge and dit challenge 36, stiching... They are currently on challenge 52.  AND I wanted to enter this in Fab 'n' Funky Challenge, Reuse or Recycle, only to see now that it was last weeks challenge, which I also didn't look at properly this morning.  I think I got up too early today.

Oh Well.  Then I am entering Stamp TV's Color Challenge (http://stamptv.ning.com/forum/topics/monday-color-challenge-72610-1) which is Black, Ivory and one accent color of which I chose Blue/Green.

Entering in The Shabby Tea Room's Challenge (http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/) - One, Two and Three Challenge.  One Ribbon, Two Buttons, and Three Punches or Dies.  Used one ribbon, Two buttons of which I clipped the hole-a-ma-thingy off at the bottom to stick it, and the Punches/Dies are, 1 corner round punch, die 1 peeking through at bottom of image and ribbon, and die 3 next to image!

And Lastly, Card Sketch over at Card Patterns (http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/2010/07/sketch-74.html).

Loved doing this card.  I have never made a card for more than 2 challenges at a time.  This was suppose to be for 5 challenges,  but seeing as I can clearly not read, it will only be entered into 3!!

Sorry for the bad photo!  It's getting dark here and I just couldn't wait till tomorrow to post this!!

Thank You for taking the time to look!

Happy Crafting,

The Pink Elephant's Brown Challenge!

Hi Crafter's!

For the last two days I have been busy creating a baby girl chipboard album.  It's really kept me busy.  When it's done, I'll post the pics!  Being the mom of 2 boys, I rarely get a chance to do girly girly scrapbooks.  So I am thoroughly enjoying this!  

The Pink Elephants Monday challenge this week is : Brown.  To check out the challenge go to: http://thepinkelephantchallenge.blogspot.com/.  The image I used is a coloring page.... Again!  Isn't it so cute though!  I colored the image with my Copics and the sentiment on the card means Congratulations.

Please leave me a comment.  I have started to comment on my own stuff just to see if the comment's section worked properly!!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Crafting,

Coloring Page Images!

Hi Crafters!

I use a lot of coloring page images for my cards.  As I said in my first post, living in SA, getting nice images to color for cards etc is difficult, seeing as I live in a really small town and have to order all my goodies over the internet.  SA is a bit behind in the online purchase department!  I suppose we'll get there someday!  Here is two cards using coloring pages:

This is a Bratz happy birthday card.  This was the second image I colored with my new Copics.  Only have them for 2 weeks now, and I love Copics!  They are simply the best!!

This a a Lovie Dovie card.  The image is a free Manga coloring Page.  I love Manga images.  They are so fun to color.  This image was colored using Copics: E00, E21, E29, C1, C7, W1, W7, B39, B93, B24,
BG96, G99, YR00, YR23, RV29, R46 and 0.  Hmmm,  going to do another one right now!!

Thanks for looking!!

Manly Cowboy Card

Hello Crafters!

Is it just me, or is making manly cards more difficult.  With Feminine and children's cards you can do so much.  Add butterfly's and flowers and bling and tons of ribbon, but with man cards!  Gosh,  If only they were into butterfly's and stuff!!

Products used for this card:  Bazzil Cardstock.  DP I bought way back when, no name do not know who it's from..., Copics,  Distress tool, very thick MANLY twine.  The image is a free coloring page for kids I got from www.mescrayons.com.


And here's the card!

That's it for now.  Will be posting my Tiddly Inks challenge shortly!


Happy Crafting!

Card Patterns Sketch 72 Challenge

Hi Crafters!

I couldn't resist entering Card Patterns Sketch Challenge hosted by LeAnne Pugliese.  Here's the sketch:

And here is my card.  I had great fun making this.  It was perfect timing, a few days before the challenge I had a thought to make a quilt looking type of card, so the idea was festering in my mind.... and then the challenge!  Great fun!  I hope you like my card!

And the inside of the card:

Thank You for looking!!
