Fight Like A Girl

It's October and that's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Here's my card to mark the occassion:

I used Pink Ribbon L'il Lolita available here at Tickled Pink. Pop over there and check out their digi stamp for this month. They're on at a great price and proceeds go to Pink Ribbon Day at the end of October. 

I used Authentique paper and colored with a variety of pink copic markers. I also added some bling with pink pearls.  You can't see it so well in the picture, but the grey cardstock is embossed with the paisley cuttlebug folder.

Thanks for visiting.  Janet

A Deconstructed Sketch

I've been following Jen's blog for a while now, but haven't yet tried a sketch. Well, this weekend allowed me to try it out twice.  I really like this sketch:

I'm sure that I will use this sketch quite a bit.  Here's my first sample, using this sketch:

I used a Hanglar Stanglar image for this card. Their theme this week is Just Me.  I chose the image because I like to have time to celebrate and I love fizzy drinks--can you see the sparkle in the drink? I've made it an Italian Soda, since I've been making lots of these lately.   I've added some different textures--some dry embossing with my cuttlebug, some big beautiful ribbon roses, and some corner pieces.

Here's my second card:

I used jillibean papers for this sketch, along with some cardstock.  I added some bling to the cake as well.  I'm in love with this color combination. Once I matched these papers, I went to town, as you can see by both these cards.

Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab

This is the first time I've ever a card over at Moxie Fab--it's the Tuesday Trigger. I've added alot of metal here--brads in the corner and a metal flourish behind the bow.  I also used a copper metal sheet and embossed with the swirls folder through my cuttlebug.  The image is colored with copics.

Hope you like it!  Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating!

ABAC at Paperworks Co

I really loving this snowman.  Aren’t they adorable?!!!  They are called Flaky Friends.  I’ve used my copics again. (That’s definitely a theme with me. I think I need to challenge myself to use another medium.  lol)  I used some leftover Christmas paper I had in my stash from last year to make the star stand out. The star is a paper mache star that I bought at my local crafting store.  I painted it with acrylic paints and then added the paper and glittered up snowflake.  Lastly I popped the image on to it.
It’s a great tree decoration and quick to whip up for a gift as well.  It’s quite inexpensive to make, so it would be great to have a few around the house for surprise guests.
I hope that you will try an ABAC project along with us.  Please link us up to your post, so that we can check out your creations!
Happy Sunday!  Janet

Pepe le Pew

Pepe le Pew is really my favorite cartoon character.  I watched alot of cartoons as a child....all on a black and white tv with no cable (lol!)  and he was my favorite.

He's the inspiration for this card:

Spotlighting an Inchie

I've never made an inchie card before, so today is a first.  It's also one of the few Christmas cards I've gotten around to making this year.....I'd better get started on that.  LOL

I used the wreath set from Flourishes, which I can't find on their website.  I stamped it in Momento ink twice.  I cut out an inchie from the second image and colored it up. In hindsight, I should have colored it first, then cut it out. I popped it up on the image.
