Go Wild

So.. Saturday, May 22 I posted a sentimental card

on my blog for my daughter Alec who will turn 13

this Sunday. The BAD part of being ahead with

birthday cards is you run the risk of having to make TWO!

Alec and I were at Hobby Lobby and she found this paper

that she just HAS to have and begs me to make a 

card for her out of this fuzzy, zebra, wild paper.

Here is the card closed...

Here is the card open...

 The fuzzy wild paper is from Paper Studio

Punches: Stampin' Up Scallop & Dot edge punch

#13  Thickers fabric pack (Distressed with Eggplant Ink)

Tim Holtz mini background stamp

I used zebra ribbon to secure the gift card

I love tri-shutter cards as they have

a perfect place for a gift card.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Ready ~ Set ~ Craft!

Anya Ink Challenge - 3 flowers/2 buttons/1 bow

School is just around the corner and

every year, on the first day of school,

I tuck a card into both Alec and

Sky's backpacks.

My youngest, Skylar, is going into 4th grade

and she just watched Alice In Wonderland, again.

So... I decided to make a 'homework' sheet

for Alice and dated 8.24.10.

Close up of Alice

All colouring was done with

Copic Markers

Close up of the homework

I used a Tim Holtz' Embossing Folder and

distressed it with Brocade Blue Stampin' Up Ink

There is a little note tucked under the homework

for Skylar... wishing her the best year ever :)

The paper is all scraps from various stores

Alice is stamped on 90# watercolor paper

The middle flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts

the other two are Prima flowers.

The buttons are from Stampin' Up.

Thanks for stopping by - check out Anya Ink

The DT has some gorgeous inspiration!

Ever just sit and color?

I think putting marker tip to paper

is soooo relaxing!

So, tonight, I played with one of my

new stamp sets

"Greeting Card Kids"

from Stampin' Up.

All I can say is - I didn't even get to the

card making part :)

Here are the stamps in B&W

There are four stamps in this set.

I am not a demonstrator for Stampin' Up

(I do have tons of their stamps)

But this is the first set I have used my

Copics on and like the way they turned out.

Thanks for stopping by!

Anya Ink Challenge B&W and one color

So I am super behind in getting this card done

and rushed it a bit...

I know WHY they call it a CHALLENGE ...

Black and White and One Color - Oy Vey!

I tried my hand at charcoal pencils and think maybe

I'll stick with Copics (Which means I need more)

Picture quality is NOT the best

I NEED A NEW CAMERA!

Anyway... here is my take

Black White and Pink

Just Love This Digi!

The paper is scrap from something

The ribbon is from Stampin' Up

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts
