ASL Thanks

It's time for Inspiration Week over at the Little Miss Muffet Stamps blog and this week I'm using PDP Ian, one of LMMS's ASL images. Ian is making the sign for 'thanks' and you can find him in the LMMS store HERE.

Don't forget, the Anything Goes challenge is still open so go on over and play along with us, we'd love to see what you create!

Daffodils for Power Poppy

I'm still playing catch up for Power Poppy's Hues to Use and this card was made using the colors from their Jan.1 challenge. 

As soon as I saw the yellow in the colors I instantly thought of the set Daffodils. I colored the larger image in the set and had to add a touch of purple for the hyacinth in the bouquet. The layout is from one I found on pinterest, I believe it came from Operation Write Home when they were active.

Warm My Heart for Sunday Stamps

It's time for a new challenge over at the Sunday Stamps blog and this week we have a color challenge that is perfect for Valentines Day themed cards. It involves a lot of pink, which did stump me, as anyone who has been to blog before knows that I do not like the color pink, at all. LOL 

I sat and looked at these colors for a while, then went and stared at all my stamps for a while, and then went back and stared at the colors again and finally decided to pull out the Sheltering Tree set from SU. I got thinking about my grandparents and the trips they'd take to Washington DC and how they loved seeing the cherry blossoms in bloom. I stamped the leaves in 2 different shades of pink and then did the tree itself in a dark plum color. The swipe across the ground is another shade of pink and I incorporated the gold color by stamping the sentiment with some retired Hello Honey. The paper is from SU's Petal Garden DSP and was a perfect match for this color scheme.

Make sure and head on over to the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then give these colors a try, we'd love to see what you come up with!

Birthday for the Doctor

My oldest son turned 24 at the beginning of January and since he is a HUGE Doctor Who fan I decided to make him a birthday card with that theme. I used a stamp set from Kindred Stamps called Time Traveler to create my card, it features lots of great images one can use for a Doctor Who theme. The card was a big hit with my son!

Just Because for LMMS

It's time for a new challenge over at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and this week I decided to use one of my favorite images, Moose Love. I just love this sweet mama moose and her calf!

I decided to create a "just because" card that can be used to send a note of love for any occasion, not just Valentines Day. My family and I don't celebrate V-Day anyway, we like to show our love for one another every day in little ways.

Normally I color the moose with more of a red tint, as moose fur in real life has a reddish hue to it, but this time I made them a bit darker in order to blend in better with the background paper I used.

Make sure to head on over to the LMMS blog to see what the rest of the DT created and then play along with us! Don't forget, there is also an LMMS FB group where you can share your creations and see what others are creating.

Hi, Friend

I'm still playing catch up with the Power Poppy Hues to Use challenge, and these colors are from Jan.9. I'm also playing along with the Power and Spark Challenge again, which is to use a layout from PageMaps.

I decided to color in these gladiolas from the Dynamic Duos: Glads and Gerberas set. I love gladiolas, I used to grow them when I lived in the Lower 48 but haven't tried growing them here in Alaska. Using the hues I colored the flowers yellow and red, and the purple was brought in with the designer paper.

Blue Santa

I've gotten behind on the Power Poppy Hues to Use challenge and so it's my goal to hurry up and get the ones I missed done before the end of the week. This card is for last weeks Hues to Use, which is a lovely blue palette!

I'm playing along with the Daily Marker 30 Day challenge and my theme this week is winter/cold so I decided to use Power Poppy's Flowering Santa and color him blue. Nothing wrong with a blue Christmas :)

I tried to match my copics to the challenge colors as best as I could, hopefully I came close! My 19 yr old son really liked this card...it's rare to get a reaction from him when it comes to cards so it made me feel good that he liked it so much!

I'm also playing with the Power Poppy Power and Spark Challenge, which is to create a card using a layout from PageMap.
