A Mother's Work

I have had a very busy weekend with Logan's birthday party and family here. It was wonderful! We had such a great day yesterday. We ended up having the party in my back yard. It was kind of windy and cold even though there was no rain...which we were very happy about. My son and daughter-in-law got a blow out house that the kids played in the whole time.....jumping to their heart content. We had hotdogs and hamburgers. Anyway, it turned out to be a very nice day.
I colored up this image from Sarah Kay a few days ago and decided to make a card. No challenges, just for fun. I have just really enjoyed these sweet images and can't leave them alone. I used paper from Stampin Up and DVWV. Stampin Up pastels and I used my Copics: Y08, YG11, E93, E33, E00, E02, RV42 ans E31. I hope you enjoy my little creation.

Tuesday Morning Sketch #43

I know, I know.....I just can't stop coloring these sweet images of Sarah Kay. You can find them over at freekidscoloringandcrafts.com. I colored up this one for the challenge over at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I used my Copic markers which this time I didn't write down the colors I used. Sorry. I made the little flowers and used designer paper from DCWV. I hope you will stop on over and join in the fun. Melissa would love to have you stop by.

SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY 47 AND BUSY BEAUTIES BOUTIQUE

Here we go.......Sweet Sketch Wednesday time!!! Busy Beauties Boutique is our sponsor this week and is offering (Three) free images to the winner of our challenge. I hope you will stop on by their online store and check out their images. I decided to make two cards this week. I love this little fairy. Her name is: "Spring Blossom Beauties". I used my Copic Markers: E02, YG11, E33, Y08, Y00, YG11, YG03, YG95, YG67, 393, RV42 and RV13. The paper is from Stampin Up and paper from my stash. I used stickles and glitter glue. The Ribbon is from Michaels. The scallop shapes were cut by my Cricut machine. I am going to have to start using it more. I am amazed at the shapes I have in some of the cartridges. The sentiment is digital.

For my second card I used the image: "Chillin Randy".

This sweet little guy reminds me of my little grandson. He turns 3 years old today! Happy Birthday Logan! We are going to celebrate on Saturday with a party at the park. We are hoping for good weather but the odds are not in our favor. We have another storm front coming in.
I used green because that is his favorite color. If he had had his way, I would have had a big number 6 on the front of this little guys shirt. That is his very favorite number!
Once again, I used paper from Stampin Up and DCWV. I used ribbon from Michaels. The Copic markers are: B32, R27, E02, E33, E00 and YG03.

The Town Scrapper- Blog Hop-Girlie Challenge (Second Week)

This is a card I made for the second half of The Town Scrapper Blog Hop. It is 10:30 PM and I have been working all night trying to get my work done for my real job...It has been a long night. I wanted to get this posted before I went to bed. I am not as happy with this card as I would like to be. The picture I took doesn't do it justice. I used my sizzix dotted embossing folder. This is a folder I got at the Scrapbooking Expo in Salt Lake City a few weeks ago. The image is another Sarah Kay image from the freekidscoloringandcrafts.com . I used Copic markers and the paper is from DCWV. I popped the image and made the little flower.

Partner In Crime-Anything Goes

This is the second card I have made tonight. I just wanted to relax from a long week at work and so I am card making. One of the gals that is on our design team over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday has started up a challenge blog called: "My Partner in Crime". This is their first challenge. I hope you will stop on over and join Jenny and her friend Robin. Their challenge is called: Anything Goes.

For my card I have used Stampin Up and DCWV paper. Copic markers: BG10, BG72, Y08, E31, E49, RV13, E04 and RV14. I did some stitching around the edge of the card. I wanted to keep this card simple because I wanted to show off the flowered background. For the final touch, I added three bows. Opps, I need to add that you can find this sweet image over at freekidscoloringandcrafts.com.
