Sketch For You To Try by Jen del Muro is always exciting and

the entries are all so wonderful.

Thanks for coming by!

Supplies include DCWV Animal Cracker paper stack, Soft Suede ink and paper, with just a touch of kraft in the sentiment circle. the owl stamp and punch from SU and a bit of green and white polka dot ribbon. The border punch from MS, and of course, those cute giggly googlie eyes

Mandelas are here again

Daisy Doodles newest challenge is now open.

It's called New Moon and it's anything goes.

Get your card/project done and make sure it has a digi image and get it posted on the challenge blog.

I just printed three of the mandelas, one larger than the other two.

Sprayed them with some mist..obviously, one green and the other purple.
Used the two small ones to make a rosette

Had to get the Kraft Journal in on this challenge, it wasn't hard since kraft paper is just one of

my favorites.

Added some purple glitter glue to the flowers along the edge, alternating total coverage with just a minimal amount.
The cotton crochet I found at a Hospice thrift store in Mount Dora.

Thanks for coming by!

Every Flower

Delightful Inspiration inspired me this week to do some resisting.

A 'sorta' emboss resist.

I used Crystal effects on the flowers and leaves, let it dry, and then 

brayered some rubber bands over the colored 'embossed' image

using some glitter mist and angel mist.

I only own two bottles and used them both!!

Thank you, Faith, for a great image to play with and use some fabulous techniques.

I got to use my brand new Tim Holtz die for the folded flowers.
Delightful Inspiration also has a Saturday challenge and this week is anything goes
so will submit this one to that challenge.

Thanks for coming by!

P.S. Made this card this morning before an appointment that I had at 1PM.

Gave it to Annie ( the appt person) for her to give to someone else.

she was flabbergasted and said that she had someone very important to send it to.

Can't go into the details, but she was very moved and it was more than a coincidence

that we had an appt today.

Free Week at Daisy Doodles

Tableau Tuesday is up right now at Daisy Doodles.

Our September Designer of the month is Stephanie from Crafty Teacher.

You can see her card and Sammibug's over at the challenge blog.

My mojo  has left the building or maybe it's just some procrastination on my part.

 Getting the blogs posted and the card made was not on my 

list of things that needed top priority last week or this past weekend...sooooo

I had to think of something quick and easy.

I have several images in my folder so I flipped through it and found the 

daisy, ribbon, butterfly and printed dp from Daisy doodles collections.

The pre-colored images are from some card kits that you can find in Daisy's store.

Just look under categories near the bottom on the left and you will see

Card Kits. the bg paper is from card kit 3 and the images are from Card Kit 0ne.

The Kraft Journal's challenge this week is "Movies, Songs, or Books".

I added a three layer kraft paper die with 'Hugs' on it.

The song by Elton John, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" has butterflies in the lyrics.

Better get crackin...time's a passin' and the deadline is approaching quickly.

Thanks for coming by!
