Crazy 4 Challenges- Valentine

Happy Saturday everyone!! Today we start a new month at Crazy 4 Challenges, and our new challenge hostess is Angela Wood.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner Angela has challenged us all to create a Valentine's Day card.

If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword C4C73. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see it too.

For my card, I used the super cute Our Craft Lounge set, Pat the Dog. I decided to play along in their color challenge, as well as this past Sunday's Sweet Sunday Sketch. I stamped my image on an MFT Perfect Panel, and then colored it with my Copics. I then layered it with Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Hot Fudge. My DP is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet pack. The ribbons I used are from SU, and my brads are from Michael's. SU punches were used to make my sentiment panel.
Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! Be sure to check out the other crazies to see what they have been up to.

Forgotten Stamp Friday-Week 4

ETA: I decided to start using the Mr. Linky widget, so if you decide to play, go ahead and add it to the list!!

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog!! It is time for my Forgotten Stamp Friday challenge!! As some of you might have seen, I started a little "personal" challenge called- Forgotten Stamp Friday!! Basically, I am challenging myself, and YOU, to use some of those poor, dusty, neglected, forgotten stamps from your collection!! I have created my own "keyword", this week's is FSF04. Last week, I had TWO people play along!! Thanks Dawn and Misty!! The only rule is to use a stamp set that hasn't been used in at least 6 months.

For my card today, I used one of the first Our Craft Lounge sets I ever got!! I just LOVE Pea-nut...he's so cute!! He was stamped on am MFT perfect panel, and then colored with my Copics. I then layered him with Regal Rose, Rose Red, and Hot Fudge card stock. I followed Mercy's LAST sketch....so sad, and cut out my circle panel with the MFT Decorative Doily Die-namic. My DP is from the Basic Grey Bittersweet pack. The gingham ribbon I used is from SU.

Well, that is it for me for now!! I can't wait to see if you play along!! Be sure to use the keyword FSF04, or come back here and leave me a link in the comments!! There is no time limit, just be sure to use the right keyword, and have FUN!! Have a great day!!

Crazy 4 Challenges Week 3

Hey everyone!! As you are reading this I am having the BEST time in Georgia with my stamping friends, Jessica Diedrich, Mercy Kerin and Pam Varnell!! It is so awesome to put faces and personalities with names...and they are all three even more awesome in person than I would have ever hoped for!! The drive was long, but it was SO worth it!!

It is time for another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge, and it is another FABULOUS sketch by Cindy Haffner!! After seeing all the AWESOME sets released from Our Craft Lounge I HAD to pick some of them up!! The first one that I HAD to get was Ghostly Greetings. I stamped the Ghost twice on an MFT Perfect Panel and cut one out and popped it up. I did add a little bit of a shadow with my BG10 Copic. I layered it with Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black and did some piercing. The sentiment was stamped directly on the main panel. My Dp is from Bo Bunny, and so are the buttons. The Gina K. White panel was run through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. All the ribbons are from SU, and my Spiral Clip is from Joann's.
That's it for me now!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

FS102 Stamp_Momma

Today's Featured Stamper was none other than Lori Craig, Stamp_momma. Lori is part of the SCS team, and although I don't know her personally, she is SO sweet and helpful and encouraging...not to mention a ROCKIN stamper!! I had a hard time picking one card to CASE, so I decided to do two in one. The one I REALLY wanted to do was a past sketch challenge, so I decided to use the image from it, and combine it with this card. I have had this stamp set, from Our Craft Lounge, since they opened and have JUST NOW got around to using it(we won't talk about the four other sets I have that I haven't inked...shakes head). It is from the set Dr. Peanut and let me tell you, it is SO CUTE!! I stamped the main image, hearts, grass, flower and sentiment on Gina K. 120lb white with Memento Black ink. I used my Copics and a couple of SU markers to create my scene. My sky is kinda wacky, but I like it, makes it look more real(work with me here people). I stamped the Be Mine heart separately and popped it up. After coloring all of it, I added some Crystal Effects to the hearts and the flower. I followed the layout on this card, and really tried not to change to much. Basically, I changed the image, colors( Rose Red and Regal Rose paired with Basic Grey Bittersweet), and didn't do the stitching...pretty good for me huh!!!

Well, that is it for me for now, thanks for looking and have a great day!!
