Valentine Cookies For You

The color challenge this week at 7 Kids College Fund is Red, Pink, and White. With Valentine's Day right around the corner I decided to pull out these papers from Stampin Up that I had purchased last year and were sitting in my stash. I thought they would be perfect for a more softer card. I used this adorable Magnolia called Gingerbread Tilda from the Christmas collection that you can find HERE. After all the cookes are heart shape so it works.

So here is my Take on this weeks card over at the 7 Kids College Fund:

Here Comes Summer - Part 2 of the GD call at Mo's

As the days get warmer, and we approach the long hot days of summer. I love to watch my community come alive. As some of you know, I live in a beach communtiy and have a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean. At this time of year, we always say Rockaway comes alive as people come out of hiding and walk along the boardwalk, play ball, read a good book, or just take a leisurely walk in the sand as the waves come crashing in. I love the beach at this time of year, it is so peaceful, no crowds it's like you have the whole beach to yourself and I immedatley thought of this adorable image from Maurice Manning. I often see little boys and there dogs play along the shore not only looking for shells but for anything else that the surf has washed up. Something I did when my boys were young, Oh how I miss those days.

This card was done for round 2 of the guest designer call over at Mo's Digital Pencil. Last week I did a monochromatic card, and this week the theme is Here Comes Summer. Nothing says summer like a day at the beach. So here is my take on the challenge.




This fits the following challenge(s)

Teacup Fairy for Babies 1st Valentine

My principal asked me to make a card for her grandsons first Valentine. As soon as I saw this adorable fairy from Mo's Digital Pencil I knew it was perfect for her. She collects tea pots and tea cups. Let me tell you I have always admired digi's but I never had the correct paper to print, the paper would always jam in the printer and what a pain that was... but now that I have the right stuff, watch out guys, cause the skies the limit...lol

Tilda-Unwrapped

This card took me all day, Guess because I tried combining more than 2 challenges into one card. I have a hard time with 2 so what possessed me to try to combine 4 is a mystery to me..I had to step away from it several times moving this moving that and I'm still not happy with the final result. So, I don't think I'll do that again. But I did get 3 out of the 4 on the card...It's was the lace that stumped me for the Simon Says challenge..So after all that is said and done, here is my take on the challenges

This fits the following challenges:
7 Kids College Fund: image from their store, 2 DP's 3 flowers, Sparkle (on leaves and present)
Copic Creations: Folds or Pleats

Looking for Sea Glass

As some of you know, I live on the beach. My oldest son and I used to takes walks on the beach and look for sea glass. This image always reminded me of us looking for sea glass. If some of you don't know what sea glass is, it is glass from bottles that has been worn away by the sand and tides and is quite beautiful. We always hoped we would find blue or green because it was like treasure when we found it. This was done for the Everybody Art Challenge. This weeks theme is Sea/Beach. Of course, this was right up my alley especially since I've been playing with the Seaside Sketches for the past few days. So I inked this image up and decided to play along.



Here is a picture of some of the sea glass that we have found over the years. Believe it or not, it's not like finding shells, finding this type of glass is quite rare. As you can see the edges are not sharp nor is the glass crystal clear like it would normally be. I am sure it takes years to achieve this beautiful affect. Do you think that maybe on his next day off, I can talk him into taking a walk on the beach with Mom again to see what treasures we can find.



As always, thanks for looking..

Everybody Art Challenge #100 Thoughts Of You

I am entering this in theEverybody Art Challenge which will be my first entry. When I saw that this weeks challenge was to use Blue which is my favorite color, I knew this was right up my alley. I decided to take out an older set from Stampin Up and make this card for my sister just to let her know I am thinking of her. This is one set that I will never part with. I usually drag out my brayer whenever I reach for this set, but decided to try making clouds using a scallop. I've seen this technique quite often but finally was inspired when I saw Jeanettes beautiful card and tutorial which can be found by following
this link

So thanks for the inspiration Jeanette.. and Sis this one's for you.
