Masked - Happy Birthday

I just love how this card turned out. I made the black and white background paper. Cut a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch square of white paper. Scored lines every 3/4" on the diagonal. Cut out 3/8" strips of black card stock. On the left lower side I place the black strips just underneath the score lines. Cut off the excess black parts. Matted with 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 black card stock. Sewed edges. For the butterfly - I found the image from the Internet - googled "butterfly" colouring book pages and found one I liked. Printed it out, cut out the butterfly - from the inside of image - to keep the outside section as my mask. Placed the mask over a piece of white card stock. Sponged pretty in pink and riding hood red ink onto butterfly. I used my cloud template to get the scalloped edges on the butterfly to make it more interesting. Stamped on the Artful Asian (Stampin Up) leaves and the butterflies from the Water Colour Mini's (Stampin Up) set. Stamped on the birthday sentiment from Stampin Up's "Well Scripted" set.. Matted with black and stitched edges with the wandering stitch. Used my white gel pen on the leaves and mini butterflies. Pierced holes for the big butterflies flight path. Popped up the image, added the Martha Stewart pearls and Stickles

MMTPT146, Thinking of You

I created this beach scene for the Teapot Tuesday challenge #MMTPT146. I can't get this twang! The music's way to slow. I like what you sang. Let the beach steal the Show.

The lighthouse image is from Stampin Up's - Coast to Coast set and the cowboy him is from Sutter Enterprises - singing cowboy.

Punchart Easter Bunny cards

HAPPY EASTER... I hope you are all enjoying your day with family and friends.
Here are a few cards my Grand daughters and I made for Easter. Here is where I got the idea for the Punch Art Easter Bunnies. I thought it would be fun to make these with the grand daughters.
Our destination this week for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT142 is to Winnipeg, Canada. I will be sending my card off to Kay, who is the Grand mother of a fellow Splitcoast Stamper. Kay turns 91 on June 5th (my birthday too) - Kay fell and broke her elbow in February and is still in the hospital. We are sending our cards to her to help cheer her up.


Below is my grand daughters, Nico and Kayla. With a little help from me - the girls and I made these cards for their Mommy and Daddy for Easter.

My other grand daughter Kylana came over later in the day, so of course we had to make an Easter card for her parents and little sister, Kaylee.

The challenge over at Crazy 4 Challenges is to make an Easter card this weeks. Challenge C4C82.

Thanks for stopping by,

You Totally ROCK

Happy Tuesday everyone :) Here is my card for today's Teapot challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers - MMTPT141 - and this weeks challenge over at Totally Stampalicious - Anything goes. I used this cute image from Totally Stampalicious - Rockin' Frawg. I coloured the image with Stampin Up and Tombow markers. Used four different designer papers and applied silver stickles around the edge and on the guitar. Thanks for stopping in, Hugs..Pat

Women are like RIBBON

My card for today's Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT139 - Oh my gosha, Sasha! A proposal from McTibbons is contingent upon RIBBONS. Our card destination this week is to Ashley - who lost most of her scrap-booking and stamping supplies to a flood - the water completely flooded her basement right up to the roof. I stamped this funny Art Impressions image at my dear friend - Pat Smethers while visiting her in California last month. I stamped the sentiment there as well - it originally said "Women are like buttons, they hold things together" - I replaced the word "buttons" with ribbon to go with the teapot party theme. Image was coloured with Tombow markers. Designer papers from Recollections and American Crafts. Thanks for stopping by, Hugs. Pat

Vintage Truck on Route 66

Happy Sunday every... Here is a card I made earlier in the week for Mothermarks Teapot Tuesday challenge - "Are you outta your gourd - I ordered a Ford".

Our destination for our cards this week is Brampton, Ontario - to "Kim" - he is the cousin of fellow Splitcoast Stamper - teapotter "Laurie" (Virigo05) - he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer which has spread to his bones and he is only 41 years old. We are hoping our cards will bring a little joy to him. He loves Fords, hockey, football, steaks etc.

As I work at a Ford dealership (Steve Marshall Ford) and Kim is the chairman of Local 584 at the Ford Company I just had to bring Kim a vintage Ford truck. While driving along Route 66 my DH and I stopped at Hackberry General Store and saw this vintage truck parked in front of an old garage. I tried to recreate this scene but omitted all the signs from the garage so that the old truck would stand out. I hand drew the garage and I quite pleased with how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by,

Happy Stamping and Creating,

Owl be Thinking of You

Happy Tuesday everyone.... I'm a little late uploading my card today - I was babysitting my twin grand babies for about 5 hours. My sister, Valerie-Raye, and I brought the twins back to my house so that their Mommy could catch up on some much deserved sleep.

Flying by to say "Hello"

Happy Tuesday everyone... I made this card for the Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT132 - over at Splitcoast Stampers and it also worked for this weeks colour challenge as well.

This week our card destination is to Kearney, Nebraska - to Sean, a young man battling testicular cancer. We were asked to bring, planes, balloons, kites etc.. anything that flys.

I had this wonderful airplane sticker in my stash and it worked perfectly for today's challenge and it's colours are close enough to this weeks colour challenge, night of navy, Cajun craze, daffodil delight. I just purchased the designer paper a couple of days ago - it came in a discounted paper pack from Michael's. The sentiment is from Stampin Up's Hedgehog Happiness set.

Teapot Tuesday Baby Shower

Happy Tuesday everyone.... Well it's time for another fun Splitcoast Stampers Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT130. Cindy (aka Mothermark) is throwing a baby shower for my twin grandbabies who were born January 6th.

It's Pink and it's Blue!

It's all about Two!

Throw a monkey in there two!

Oh my goodnes, who knew!

One sweet little girl (Sydney) and one handsome little man (Austin). The picture at the very top is of their big sister, Kayla, holding her adorable little sister and brother. Isn't she just the proudest big sister you ever saw.

Below are the Easel card cards I made for the Grandbabies. It took me soooo long to make these. I was busy designing when I should have been sleeping, trying to figure out how to make the lamp shade, and then putting it all together was fun too. Plus it took a while to get a fairly decent picture. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

The Sock Monkey images are from Bugaboo Stamps. The one above is called "Sock Monkey Girl Sitting" and the one below is called "My little Sock Monkey car"

Thanks for popping in,
