Technostamper monday sketch :)

Each Monday Mary Jo over at Technostamper releases a fun sketch and I just recently started playing along - i LOVE it!! so here is this week's sketch:



And here's my version:



it is not very fancy but i just LOVE Purely Pomegranate paper and adore this designer print from Stampin Up. The stamps is the last from my cracked glass spree i went on - if some is good, more is better!

All of the series 11 i had found sold out in 24 hours SO i am hoping to land some more but it is VERY iffy!! i LOVE all of your comments so far and wish i could respond to them all but i would surely be on here for far too long and might end up divorced HA HA!!

well i have lots of fun ideas but unfortunately i am off to do housework and taxes - oh glory days......

Ahhh more cards for ya'll....

This first card was done for the sketch challenge last week on SCS. Again using the alcohol inks on tin foil and then embossing with the cuttlebug. Then Fluffles and the cracked glass technique.



The next three are variations of the same basic card. I used some of the Series 9 and 10 studio g stamps *waving hi to Kim over on the CK message board for the series 9!* and each one has a big Prima on it. The stamps are colored using Gamsol and prisma pencils. All papers are Stampin Up

Mmmmm....crawfish!

In case you've never had the pleasure of attending a crawfish boil here's what it looks like :)

I have a few Easter cards to post today. Not much time to "talk" as the 17 year old woke up the baby so i said he has to watch her while i finish this....may not last very long!






The first two use the emboss resist technique with Ranger's bridal embossing tinsel, perfect pearls spray mist made from perfect pearls powder and stamps from CTMH. The third one is just a Fluffles stamp colored using the Gamsol technique and then the cracked glass technique and SU papers - LOVE SU papers incase i haven't mentioned it before!

Try to be back with a few more to post tomorrow or Wednesday. I am also working on changes to my website - i hope everyone likes it!!

whew! on a roll...sketches

SO...i have NEVER used sketches before - even when i tried i never stuck to them. but i am suddenly really enjoying them. i got inspired to start trying them from Amy Sheffer's blog - she does them alot and i wanted to get more involved on SCS SO here ya go.



This first one is for the Ways to use it Challenge WT155 - i had to use something that had to do with music. I had read this challenge a few days ago and blew it off but as I was working on this card this morning it suddenly came to me that I had this CTMH paper with musical notes on it that would match my cracked glass image perfectly.

the next few are for the sketch challenge this week SC166.



Two are cracked glass and one is embossed.






I have just begun an SCS gallery but I need to be much better about keeping track of the names of the stamps i use and colors and such so my details are better :P

all of these will be going to my mom who has requested some everyday cards she can use for thank yous or just to say hello type cards. hope she likes them!!
