Today's new challenge cards!!

   I am back with an afternoon update and to share two more cards that I created for two new challenges.  The first was inspired by this week's new challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap Creations, which you can find HERE!   I always like to try and combined challenges when I can, so I decided to use this week's Sketch from the 'The Outlawz' to create a card that would work out for both.

  This is a copy of Sandi's Sketch



My Card
   My image is from Tiddly Inks and this cutie is 'Poppy'.   I chose to use this image, as I thought it would be fun to color and also because Tiddly Inks is also this sponsor this week at GGWSC.     I also want to again say thank you to Kristen at Going Grey with Scrap Creations, for choosing my card from last week's challenge as one of the TOP 3!  Woohoo!   I was so excited and happy to add my the badge to my Award page.    This is the card that won that award and was submitted to last weeks' Sketch Challenge!!


  My next card today was created using some of the new inking techniques we learned at the Jennifer McGuire Workshop this weekend.  I started with this wonderful Poppy Collage Stamp by Memory Box, which you can buy here at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.   I am a big fan of these collage stamps and also own this Butterfly Collage, and this Peony Stamp too!    I also happen to love Memory Box papers and especially love the 6X6 packs that Susana has in the store.

    This card was created for this week's Challenge # 3 - over at the SCACD Friends with Heart Challenge Blogwhich you can find HERE!!   This is a copy of the challenge instructions, from the blog!  It's open to ALL and I hope you'll join in on the fun!!

 For our challenge this week we want to see your A-R-T.....

please note the stamp must physically be in the store, not just the company-thanks!
R= ribbon
T= Two Patterned/Designer papers 



 My Card - Thinking of You!


    My card includes the Peony Collage Stamp from Memory Box, which  I stamped with VersaMark and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder and my new Tim Holtz Heat Tool.   For my two patterned papers, I used up some scraps from my stash and both pieces were from two different Basic Grey packs.    I used a light green shade to create a mat for my image and then used a darker green shade for my side border, which was created with a new EK Success punch.   My Ribbon, Felt Flower and Button are all goodies I am using up from my stash. 
     In addition to this week's challenge at SCACD, this card is also being submitted to these challenges:
      I also have two more cards to share this first card was created for a new challenge over at StampNation.  It was based on an inspiration image and I used the colors and the embossing elements as my inspiration for my card.


    I also had enough of the patterned paper to create a matching envelope liner and this picture shows the card with the matching envelope!   I am submitting this card to the Pink Paper Paradise - Make it Monday Showcase Blog.


  And this is a little note-card I crated with some scraps that were laying around on my desk.  This sweet little tulip digi, has been a freebie at one time over at CDAC and I had hoped to create a card for the challenge, but ran out of time. 



     And that is ALL for today kids....this girl is now wiped out and happy to have the rest of the day to sit back, relax and rest!

A Little About Me

My photo
Northeastern, Massachusetts, United States
Purple is my favorite color and ironically - Purple is the Awareness Ribbon color for Fibromyalgia, a chronic illness I lived with for over 18 years. In, March of 2015, I was diagnosed with Stage IV Lung Cancer which had spread to my brain. I am fighting hard to win this battle and determined to beat it. I have a amazing Oncology Team, along with the LOVE and SUPPORT of all my family and friends! I am a Mom to two grown sons, Alex is now 25 and married to Acacia, my wonderful new "Daughter" and the parents to my precious Grand-Daughter Harper, and Brian amazingly is 30 and now lives in San Diego. My boys are the greatest loves of my life. Hubby, me and our two "Pups", Skye and Zeva, two adorable Chiweenies we rescued in 2012, all live very happily in a tiny coastal town in Massachusetts. We lost our dear "Scoutie", a Purebred Dachshund, in April of 2015. I still miss him and will forever cherish his memory. I am an avid card-maker and totally love every minute I can spend in my craft room. It's become my passion, a wonderful way to relax and is my form or "therapy".
