Tennis Riley

Another Riley I made for my Maculine/Boyish stash.  This time I used tennis Riley but I don't think this one is available anymore......I have had these a long time!!!!! But other Riley's are available from Riley and Compnay !!  Again, I used Stampin Up double sided patterned paper and the matching cardstock (garden green) and sentiment is computer generated!!

 

 

Hockey Riley

I find that I am always looking for masculine cards in my stash so I pulled out my sport "Riley's" and made up a few.  You can find this stamp at Riley and Company .  The background paper I used is a double sided pattern paper from Stampin UP with its coordinating cardstock (garden green) and the sentiment is computer generated! 

 

 

More "Fred she Said" flowers

I absolutly love these poka dot flowers from Fred She Said.  They are just so happy looking!!!  When I come up with a design, I like to make a few with different colours as you can see below!

 

 

2 Challenges in 1

I was able to put two challenges into one card today!!!! I first came across this cute little FREE image over on Meljen's Designs blog ( http://meljensdesignsdt.blogspot.com/ ) . The challenge was their Thursday challenge "U R Such an ANIMAL". I colored this image a few days ago and never got around to making up the card. Then I looked up th 'Sweet n' Sassy Sketch Challenge' and thought this image would be perfect! The background paper is a digital download that I found on a site called 'Pink Petticoat'.

My son was home from school today, but was well enough to make his own take on this sketch.....I did tie the bow for him, he is only six!!!

Mojo Monday 180

Well, I participated in a Mojo Monday challang today, first one in a long time I'm afraid!

The image I used is from 'Bugaboo stamps'. http://www.bugaboostamps.com/home.html
This is a digital image that I coloured in with copics, used a couple different cuttlebug folders, a daisy punch from Marvy and a Fiskars edge punch.

Girly Birthday cards

This is a pre-made clip art that I downloaded from 'The Clipart Fairy'. All I did with these cards is mount them onto matching cardstock, add some stickles to the bear and the hat ribbon and added extra paper edger lace with white ribbon over top! I just think these are just so cute and I love the mellow colours that were used!

Space cards!!!

Here are a couple of cards that I made using clip art images from http://theclipartfairy.com/ . I love the color combination of these and thought they would be perfect to have in my card stash for my sons friends! The images are from a set called 'Rocket boy set' and I added in the greeting using my own program, added some stickles and ribbon and mounted on certainly celery stampin up cardstock.

I SEA its your Birthday!

This is a card that I made up for my friends sons 5th birthday. I love these cute little ocean images from Whimsie Doodles http://www.whimsiedoodles.com/whats-new.html. I coloured the image with copics and used misc. paper from my scraps drawer. Used a cuttlebug folder for some texture and added some faux stitching around the edge to match with the image.

2 Challenges in 1

I made a card today using Split coast stampers scketch #288 and then used the 'Whimsie Doodles' challenge of using sand, water or a frosty beverage in your project! So this is what I came up with. Having 3 young children, this will definatly get used for one of their friends!!!

The image is from 'Whimsie Doodles', 'Shell a bration' digital set.......all the images are just so darn cute!!!!!

So for the challenge I went with sand and water....I ripped some kraft paper and glued the strips then punched out to look like the shell was in the sand!!

Daughters Birthday Card

This is a card that I made for my daughters birthday last week. Her favorite colour is red and she has long blond hair, that is where I got my colours from for the 'Emma'. This image is a digital download from 'Fred SHe Said' called 'Emma with a sign'. I love that this download comes with a few choices to be in the sign.

I used real red and summer sun cardstock from SU, MS border punch, copics for the colouring, ribbon and some little red pearls.

Teacup Pansies

These are another simple card that I made from a pre-coloured digital download from "Fred, She Said". I need to get some Mother's Day cards to a hospital gift shop and I thought these would work well.

The Set I used for this is called 'Blue Pansies set' and 'Purple Pansies set'. The speckled paper at the bottom of the cards also comes with the download. I cuttlebugged the background paper, used nesties for the focal image and then used my favorite MS border punch and finished them off with some white ribbon.

Gift set

I thought that this set of flower images from 'Fred She Said' would make such a cute little gift set for someone...not sure who will get it yet!

I just made a very simple box with 2 sheets of 8 1/2 x 10 cardstock and scoring it to fit the A2 size card. Added a extra image and some matching ribbon to the front of the box to complete the look.

You are a Blessing

This is a card that I made with another new image from Fred She Said. This one is called 'Emma with a Sign' digi set. It comes with other greeting in the sign, but thought I would try this one for something different to go into my stash. The yellow in the card is not this mustard looking in real life, the camera just couldn't capture the true colour.

This image also comes with three sizes of this cute little flower. I coloured her with my copics and then found misc. paper that matched her dress and shoes.

I used my MS border punch to create a small frill under Emma's dress, using regular computer paper so I could crunch it up and make it softer to work with.

I also used a few of the flowers to decorate the inside of the card.........I love these flowers!!

Multiple Cherry Blossoms

Well I finally got a bunch of cards done. This is a set I made using the 'Smelling the Cherry Blossoms' from Fred She Said. This is a digital download that comes already coloured or just black outline for you to colour. I chose to work with the images that were already coloured in for you.

Say it with Fishies

I made up this cute little birthday card with a download from Fred She Said. This image comes with the 'Emma the Mermaid'. I just used misc. paper from my stash that matched the copics I used to colour. The sentiment was made up on the computer.

FRED SHE SAID CHALLENGE BLOG http://fss-challenge.blogspot.com/

Emma and the Butterfly

This is a birthday card that I have made for my niece who is turning 15 soon. The image is from 'Fred She Said' and coloured with copics. I have used a EK Success border punch, ribbon and 'Dew Drops'. I again wanted some ribbon to match her dress so I coloured some white with the same colour copic as I used on her dress. I used a SU marker to make some faux zig zag stiching up the sides and to make the design around the image and of course added some stickles to the butterfly, her waistband and her shoes. The background paper is from 'Papertrey Ink'.

More Fun with Freds Flowers

Well it has been a long week with myself being sick and two of my kids so you could say not much crafting time or the desire to do any. I did manage to print off a sheet of Freds Flowers and cut them out to make another fairly simple card (as the flowers are already coloured). This one will go into my stash as it could be given to almost anyone!

Three cards & one sketch

This card layout came from "Mojo Monday sketch week72". I really love this layout so I went ahead and made multiple cards using different colour combos. The butterfly is from Verve Stamps and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
