MISTER "OLD FART"

Happy Sunday everyone... I made this card for a few challenges

over at Splitcoast Stampers.

Featured Stamper #FS217 and sketch challenge #SC326. Plus the challenge over at Bugaboo's "Catch the Bug Challenge Blog" - anything goes.

The challenge over at TOTALLY STAMPALICIOUS blog

this week is to make a birthday card.

Irene (aka DandI93) is this weeks featured stamper. I love Irene's gallery - she is so very creative and talented. I cased this fun birthday card "WT298 - Senior Discount.

This image is a Bugaboo digi image - turned into rubber by Totally Stampalicious. The fun sentiment and image are from the "Birthday Gus" set. The image above is the inside of my card. I am trying very hard to finish the inside so they are ready when I need them. The balloon image is from "All night media". I coloured the Birthday Gus image with Stampin Up and Tombow Markers.

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

Happy 60th Birthday Ritchie - Live to Ride

Here is a fun birthday card I made for a friend who is turning 60 this week. My dear husband and I mountain bike with Ritchie... We have gone on several road trips to Utah and Nevada to ride. Ritchie is one of the fastest and in shape riders in our group - no one would believe that he is going to be 60 years old. I just had to make a funny card for him - I made it as though he is riding his "Tricycle" in the forest --- I hope he will get a laugh from this card... :)

Connie Jones (aka stamp300) over at Splitcoast Stampers was crowned Queen for the Day
last Friday... I cased this "Live to Ride" card of Connies.

The image I used is from Bugaboo Stamps - Gus Birthday and I coloured it using Tombow Markers.

Stampalicious challenge - Clean and Simple

Happy Monday everyone - it's time for another Totally Stampalicous challenge. We know that most of you are very busy at this time of year, so we are keeping it simple this week. We want to see your CLEAN AND SIMPLE cards. Which means to keep your layers and embellishments down to a minimum ( I find this very hard to do), often leaving lots of "White" space.

For the card above I used "Christmas JJ". I love this cute stamp set - it comes with two image an sentiments.

For the card below I used "New Truck Gus". I love the set as well - it comes with four humours sentiments and the one image - it is very easy to colour, and makes for some very fun masculine cards.

I stamped both of the images with Versafine Onyx black ink and clear embossed. Water coloured images. With the New Truck Gus card, I masked the image and then sponged in the sky and ground.

I hope you will come and join us over at Totally Stampalicious - check out what the other DT members have come up with to inspire you. If you join us - make sure to upload your card to Mr. Linky to your blog or gallery.

Also - Totally Stampalicious is on the lookout for Guest Designers and they'll be making their selection from all the people that play in the challenges.

Happy Stampalicious Monday everyone.... Hope you all had a great Halloween, my DH and I were lucky to have three our of four of our sweet Grand daughters stop by and show us their adorable costumes :)

Today's Totally Stampalicious challenge is to use a red bow somewhere on your card or project. As you can see - I only have a teeny tiny red bow ... but I DO have a red bow :)

I used the new "Pimp my Ride Stella" and sentiment from the Totally Stampalicious Bugaboo line. Stella was stamped on water colour paper and coloured with Tombow markers. I cut out the image and placed it over the oval (snowflake embossed) panel. I added Stampendous Crystal Snow to the ground and under the sentiment. I added Crystal effects to Stella's glasses. The DP is from My Mind's Eye. I punched out three Real REd 1/2" circles and put clear acrylic circles over top.

I used the sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges.

Here is the card of Laurie's that I cased called "Tote-ally Tess". I changed the image and placement of the sentiment, the colours, added sewing and several embellishments to my card.

Totally Stampalicious challenge --- SNOWFLAKES

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY....


It's time for another TOTALLY STAMPALICOUS challenge.... To use at least THREE snow flakes on your card or project.

They have listed the winners from the BLOG HOP so make sure to go over to the TS BLOG to see if you are a winner.

Here is my take on the challenge... I used "Let it Snow - Stella".. I love Stella and all her humorous sentiments.


As you can see I have hundreds of snowflakes on my card... The snowflake dp is from "Me and My Big Ideas" - Noel Pack. The red dp is from "My Minds eye". I used a small snowflake punch and punched out the snowflakes from the snowy dp... I watercoloured Stella using Tombow markers and an aquapainter. Used nestabilities t cut out all the ovals. All edges were sponged with Stampin Up "Riding Hood Red".

I hope you will play along with us.... Make sure to add you card to Mr. Linky at the Totally Stampalicious Blog...

Seeing Spots

Hello everyone... I have just returned from a three day motorcycle trip - My husband and I, plus two of our friends covered approximately 900 kilometers - and saw some amazing scenery and drove on some of the best rated roads for motorcycle trips in British Columbia.

I made this card for this weeks Totally Stampalicious challenge - anything FOOD related- as long as it has anything to do with food - image, sentiment or both. I used the image and one of the sentiments from the 'JJ Cook" stamp set. I love this image and the fun sentiments.

This also qualifies for two challenges on the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.. I used sketch #C4C43 and this weeks challenges was to use two or more ribbons on your card/project. I have the pretty little pink ribbon and the faux pleated, bubble wrap stamped ribbon across the center of my card.

Plus this is for this weeks Splitcoast Stampers Teapot Tuesday challenge MMTPT101 - issued by Cindy "Mothermark" - to bring lots of spots.... 42,000 of them.

I stamped JJ Cook and the sentiment with Stampin Up classic black on water colour paper and clear embossed. I water coloured the image with Stampin Up reinkers and Tombow Markers. Clear embossed her glasses and the wine glass. I inked up some bubblewrap with Stampin Up regal rose and stamped it onto the white base card and stamped a few extra pieces of white paper to use at a later time. I also bubblewrap stamped some of the blue card stock, which I used for the one panel and photo corners. I made the faux pleated ribbon using a strip of the stamped regal rose paper. I applied liquid pearls to the K&C dp and to the scalloped border. Assembled card, attached the pink ribbon and Stampin Up Filigree brad.

Totally Stampalicious - Movie Theme

Happy Monday everyone... it is time for another Totally Stampalicous challenge. This week we are to be inspired by a Movie or TV show - Title, theme etc., Thanks Stacy (aka Twinshappy) for the challenge.

My card was inspired by the movie "Wild Hogs". A group of middle aged men who have decided to rev up their routine suburan lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Below is the patch used in the movie.

I used the TS "Road Hawg" stamp to make my card. Image was coloured with prismacolour pencil crayons and gamsol. I painted the panel behind the image with Acrylic paints - I tryed to make it look like the Designer Paper. Image was cut out and popped up.

Hay! How are you?

It's time for another Totally Stampalicious challenge - to make a masculine card or project. I have used this fun "Farmer Hawg" image on my card. I coloured the image with Prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol. I had the sheep dp in my stash that I thought would be perfect on my card, plus the green textured gingham dp. I cut four squares and placed them over the black card stock, next I wrapped string around the middle of the card and stitched edges. I cut out the image and popped it up over the small square panel. Aren't those silver chickens the perfect embellishment for this card!!!
