Paperworks Co Wednesday Super Sketch #85

I've got a card for you today for the Paperworks Co Wednesday Super Sketch #85. Yah, I know it's a couple of days late, but for some reason my scheduled post didn't work and with the hectic last two days I didn't check until this morning. Opps.  Sorry about that.   I've got a few minutes before I'm off to Calgary, so here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

I haven't made any birthday cards in ages so this was the perfect time to add one to my stash.  I used a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp available here. It's called A Surprise Cheer and I love that cute litte mouse.  I colored it up with my copics and added some sparkly stickles to the icing. I also used the same orange copic marker on the chipboard letters and then added some glossy accents on top to make them pop--although that doesn't show so well in the picture.   The stars cuttlebug folder was used for the background and voila!  A birthday card is born!

Why don't you join us and play along in this sketch challenge? Up for grabs are your choice of two PWCO stamps or this month's PWCO card kit for the winner!  How awesome is that?!  Remember, though, that you have to play along with a minimum of two PWCO sketch challenges to be entered into the draw. 

You’ve got until midnight on June 30 to link up your creations – have fun!!   Head over here to link up your creation.

It's Magnificent Card Kit Monday

It's a Paperworks Co Magnificent Card Kit Monday!  Here's my card for today:

I received my card kit from Peggy on Friday and quickly whipped up my first DT card. Wow! What a great kit! The papers are bright and summery and I love the patterned papers! Such a great set of designs for the heat of summer.

I used Ice Cream Bear from the Cutie Patootie collection…..I just love his tuft of hair. The quality of Paperworks Co stamps are great. They stamp up so clean and crisp. It makes them a pleasure to color. All papers used in my card are included in the kit, along with the brads.
If you haven’t tried a card kit yet from Paperworks Co, pop on over to the store and get yourself one. This is a terrific pack this month.
Supplies used:
Paperworks Co card kit for June, momento ink, adhesive
Copics: CO, Y19, B04, V17, R29, YG03, G14, RV34 Bear–E31,E33 Cone–E59 Tree–E37, E39

Have a wonderful monday everyone!

It's a Bear today.

I saw these gorgeous bear stamps on a blog the other day and just couldn't resist buying a few for myself.  I really love these bears. They remind me so much of the teddy I had as a young girl. (I still have it actually.)

Here he is:

This digital stamp is called "For You" and you can find it here.  I decided also to join the challenge at Teddy Bo, which is shaped cards, and I made a flower. I used my spellbinders to create all the parts of the flower. The petals were run through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots folder for more texture and then I glued it all together.  Totally homemade--no templates involved.  I colored the image with my copics and added a flower mask and button in the bottom corner.   I also added some pink perfect pearls around the inside of the flower for some embellishment.

It's summertime at Creative Cowgirls!

It's sunday so that means another challenge over at the Creative Cowgirls Challenge Blog.   Be sure to stop by and see all the DT creations---there's some great eye candy there this morning.

This week we are being sponsored by the super cute CHI CHI MEMORIES, and after receiving our images to work with the challenge couldn't be anything other than

SUMMERTIME FUN.

The winner will get to choose 3 beautiful images from Chi Chi Memories, and there will be 1 image for each of the TOP3

Here's my card:

I got to play with that fun image--isn't it cute?  I could sure use it for a ton of celebrations.  I colored it up with copics and added some bling to it using my glossy accents on the buttons on the bottom corner. I also used my star spellbinders to add a bit of a change.  I also used a gate fold card this time, to change things up.

Please join us over at Creative Cowgirls and create something fun and summery.

On another note, if you are attending the Copic Intermediate Certificiation in Calgary and are looking to meet up, I'd love to meet you. I'll be there early on friday, to shop and check out a scrapbook store.  Pop me an email and maybe we can get together.

Lastly, I'm applying to be a GDT over at Fab 'N' Funky. Cross your fingers for me!  If you're interested, pop over and have a look.
