colourQ #76

Happy Tuesday and welcome back for another colourQ challenge!
Since St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner, here’s a great combo of green (and a little yellow and brown) to help you celebrate!
For my card, I used a cute digi from Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps:

The paper I used is from Jillibean Soup, and the gingham is a scrap of paper from my stash. I created the sentiment in Microsoft Publisher on my computer, and colored the sentiment and digi with Copics.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope spring is on its way where you are…it’s been raining like crazy here for so long…some sunny springtime weather sure would be nice!

Enjoy your week and don’t forget to get your fantastic creation linked up at the colourQ blog!

EDIT: Sorry this post wasn’t up earlier today…seems that Blogger & I are having some issues with posts not publishing at the scheduled time.
Happy Saturday and welcome back for another Unscripted Sketches challenge! Today is my monthly stamping group, so I’m excited about getting out and getting creative with my girlfriends…always so much fun!

In other Unscripted news, we’ll be celebrating our 100th sketch and 2-year blogiversary in a few weeks! I hope you’ll join us! As part of the celebration, we’ll be offering a prize from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps! Don’t miss the fun!

On to this week’s sketch! I rotated it for my card and put my sentiment where the two smaller rectangles are on the sketch.

Here’s my card, which features “Dancin’ Mae” from Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps!
I typed the sentiment on my computer and printed it out. The papers I used are from Memory Box and Crate Paper. The main image and the sentiment were colored with Copics. I created a rhinestone and ribbon border to separate the two parts of the design.
Thanks for stopping by to look at my card!  Don’t forget to visit the rest of the Unscripted Sketches Design Team: Alanna, Angy, Arielle, Becky, CherylAnn, Debbie, Gardenia, Jenny, Linda, Sarah Kaye and Stephanie!

Unscripted Sketches #96

Happy Saturday! Welcome back for another Unscripted Sketches challenge!

Before I get to this week’s sketch, I want to let you know that in a few weeks (on April 2), we’re celebrating our 2-year Blogiversary and our 100th sketch! I hope you’ll play along with us for some fun and fantastic prizes!

Every Saturday morning we post a sketch for the week. Flip the sketch, rotate it…create a card, a scrapbook page, or anything your imagination comes up with! There’s no right or wrong way, as long as you’re using the Unscripted Sketch as the inspiration and basis of your creation!
This week’s sketch was a challenge for me! I changed up a few elements on the sketch — I moved the stripe behind the main image and put the accent on the left side to balance the design.
So here’s sketch #96:
And here’s my card, featuring The Greeting Farm’s “Cafe Ian” and papers from My Mind’s Eye:

I colored the image with my Copics to match the paper, and added a button cluster as the accent in the lower left corner.
Thanks for stopping by to look at my card! I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with this week’s sketch!

Some Odd Girl Digi Stamps – Handmade Elements Challenge!

3 Comments

The latest challenge over at Some Odd Girl Digital Stamps is to create a handmade element for your entry, so I made cute sunflowers to go along with the digi I chose for my card!

The digi is “Sunflowers” from Some Odd Girl (of course!). I typed and printed the sentiment and colored the digi with Copics. I covered brads with fabric and used them as the center for the flowers, which I made from punched shapes. The papers are from Basic Grey and My Mind’s Eye.
Thanks for stopping by to look at my card!

Another great sketch this week over at Card Positioning Systems (CPS)…this week’s sponsor is Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps!

Here’s my card! I thought the sketch was perfect for this Hero Arts stamp set…my husband picked it out when he came with me on my last paper shopping trip! I’m so grateful that I have a husband who supports my hobby/obsession!

The images are colored with Copics. I accented the sentiment with a glitter gel pen and Glossy Accents. The border punch is from Martha Stewart Crafts and the paper is from Dream Street Papers.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s March already! I was really hoping we’d have nicer weather by now, but it doesn’t seem like it will be for quite a while here…the forecast is calling for more snow. I can’t wait for spring to get here!

For this week’s colourQ challenge, we’ve got a great set of colors for you!

Here’s my take, featuring a cute squirrel stamp from The Greeting Farm and some papers from My Mind’s Eye:

The sentiment is from SRM Stickers, and I colored the squirrels with Copics.

Happy Saturday and welcome back for another Unscripted Sketch!

I hope the weather’s been nice where you are…it’s snowed a lot here over the past few days. Whichever groundhog predicted spring was on the way needs to be fired! It certainly hasn’t been the case here in Washington…LOL!

Anyway, here’s the Unscripted Sketch for this week:

And here’s my card!

The images of the balloon and clouds were digitally drawn by me…I’ve been working on creating images for stamps that I want to use but don’t have yet! Once I get the hang of the whole e-tail thing, I’d like to offer my digis for sale! (I colored the balloon with Copics and added Stickles to the heart.)
The sentiment on the card is from Lawn Fawn Stamps, and the paper is from My Mind’s Eye.
