She Art

Christy Tomlinson is a very talented lady. She has an online workshop called The She Art Workshop that I took when she offered it the first time. It was amazing!!! This is my final project from the class.

It's sure not Christy Tomlinson, but I was so happy with it!

She has another workshop coming up that I would take if I could called "She Had Three Hearts." You should look into it if you're feeling artsy ;)

Thank you so much for stopping by!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Itty Bitty Unity Card

This card is for the All Things Unity Trifecta Challenge!

That challenge is to celebrate Unity's 3rd Birthday!

There are 3 guidelines.

1. Must be 3" square (this is harder than you would think!)

2. Use 3 types of embellies (I used Jenni Bowlin pennant chipboard shapes, a button, and twine)

3. Theme Birthday or Anniversary (of course this is a birthday card )

That's a lot going on for a little bitty card, but I think I pulled it off!

The image is a Unity Itty Bitty stamp too ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great weekend!!!

Grad Card with Original "Stamp"

I needed a card for my friend's husband's graduation. Being an, ahem, adult student myself, I know how challenging it is.

I wanted an owl stamp and I couldn't find one that was what I wanted for this card. So I drew one myself!!! I think he's cute too!!! Now that I look close up I think his eyeball is a little wonky, but he's still so cute! I colored him with Copics.

I got the sketch for this card from Deconstructing Jen's Deconstructed Sketch. It's her first sketch, and I don't know how I even found her, but I'm glad I did :) Go check it out!

Have a great day!

A Couple of Unity Challenge Cards :)

A card for Card Patterns Challenge #114

This one was fun because of the colors I used, but you would not believe the number of different Copic markers I used!!! I so wish I could get a clearer picture. It's so much brighter IRL. I think I need a new camera, or a new camera operator ;) I colored the raindrops and rainbow with Copic Spica pens. So sparkley! The stamps used were from Unity Kits of the Month!

This one is for Unity's KOM Sketch Challenge!

I used the December, 2010 Kit of the Month for the sentiment, and the flower is from the September, 2010 Kit of the Month. I stamped the flower with SU Pacific Point ink on cream tissue and punched them out with a circle punch. The button is from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found. The lace is SU.

Thank you for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Sweet Card for Nana

My grandson (3 years old) helped me pick out papers for this card for his Nana (his paternal grandmother) for Mother's Day! He's so excited about Mother's Day. It's nice that he feels that way now ;)

I used the sketch for Card Patterns Sketch 113. And the October Afternoon paper is perfect for this Unity strawberry stamp from the April, 2010 Kit of the Month.

The strawberry was colored with Copics.

Some buttons from SU finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by :)

have a phenomenal day!!!

Subway Art GR Style

I created this in Storybook, Creative Memories' Digital Scrapbooking program. I live in, and love, the city of Grand Rapids. Here are some of the icons of Grand Rapids subway art style ;) I'm going to have this printed and find a spot for it in our home. If any locals are interested, I may make more copies to sell ;)

Classy and Fabulous Card

It's Sunday evening and I hope you all had a great weekend.

I felt the need to get into my room and create tonight, so here is what i came up with.

I used Unity stamps of course ;) The shoe is from the Melody Ross set, "All Worth it," and the sentiment is from "Undeniably You."

The paper is My Mind's Eye and Pink Paislee.

These gorgeous buttons are from Lost and Found by My Mind's Eye.

The die cut was cut using a Nestability. I left it in the die when I sponged the edges with Old Paper Tim Holtz Distress Ink. I also stamped the shoe with the same ink so it would look like it was in the background. The cream panel was embossed with a Stampin' Up embossing folder. So pretty :) It was also sponged with the Old Paper ink.

The flower was off white, and it was sprayed with Tattered Angels Olive Vine Glimmer Mist.

Thanks for looking in, and I hope you all have a fabu week!
