OLW #81

This week's challenge is from Jennifer at http://stylesink.ca/2012/02/29/olw81-cream-black-and-bling/ It is to make a one layer card using cream, black and bling. As Jennifer said 'easy peasy' Right !  The card was easy to make but taking the picture is the hard part.  The card stock is vanilla from Stampin'Up. Trust me it is vanilla...it just doesn't look like it. The image is also Stampin'UP and the sentiment  and bling are from my collection. Thanks for looking.

OLW- 78 Circles Everywhere

Another great challenge from Susan at http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/. I don't know how she thinks up these ideas to make me dig into my stamp collection and find stamps I have forgotten about. Thank you. This weeks challenge was to make a one layered card using at least 5 circles. So here is my card. All stamps are by Stampin' Up. I used a Big and Juicy ink pad. I was susrprised with how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

OLW #75 Male Card.

Since I missed my other challenge (see below) here goes again.  This week's One-Layer Wednesday challenge is by http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/.  It is to make a birthday card for a guy. I chose a stamps by Stampin'up  and the words by Amuse ( I think) I used copics to color the car and a multi colored pad for the tree. I also masked the car.  Hope you like it. Don't have anyone to send it to yet but I am sure I will have soon.

Winter in July -OLW-62

This week's One-Layer Wednesday Challenge http://simplicitybylateblossom/  is to Make It Personal. In other words, make a card for a particular person that is custom designed for him or her.
So here is my card. My husband and 2 sons are awesome skiers. So this card will be for one of them. Living in Colorado we can still see snow on the mountains even although the temperature has been in the high 90s.here at the house.

I tried to mask the skier but it wasn't as easy as I thought. I did it several times and this is the best effort. It was hard to mask the ski poles. Anyway I thought it turned out quite nicely. The skier is by Stamp Your Art, Trees are Hero Arts and the sentiment is Printworks. I also chalked the sky. I am still working on the photography aspect. I will get there some day hopefully.
Thanks for taking a peek. Your comments are welcomed.

Birthday wishes

These cards were made for my grandchildren who are growing quickly. I thought they turned out quite nicely. One for a boy and one for a girls. ( in different families of course). The stampset is one from Archivers. I think it is made especially for Archivers but I don't know who by. It has a very big Happy Birthday stamp which attracted me to the set. I used that on the inside. The paper is Stampin'Up. Embossed dots are a Quikcuts embossing folder, Ribbon from my stash. Colored with copics and Stampin'UP markers.
Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

Our oldest son helps us with our computer all the time even although he lives in another state and is busy with his own family. I wanted to make him a special thank you card. I hope he likes it.
I used a House Mouse stamp. Paper is Marina Mist. Very Vanilla and Soft Suede, all from Stampin'Up. I popped up the mice and used Copics to give a little color.
