Sassy Cheryl Challenge and a fun card!

Good Afternoon!! I think it's been MONTHS since I played along with the Sassy girls! But TODAY that ends!!!!!!Ssassy Cheryl's is one of my FAVORITE challenges, because the challenges are fun, easy, and the images are adorable!!!!!  I made a card for the Sassy Cheryl's challenge "Favorite color combo"!

Doing sassy little dance!

Deciding WHICH of my fav color combos to do, however,,,,,,,wasn't so easy LOL. I have so many favs!!!!!! But since summer is coming, I decided my favorite THIS week was some summery colors!

My color combo,,,,,,,,peach, pink, orange and just a touch of green,,,,,,,

and so here's my color combo card using Sassy Cheryl's darling image (that just CALLED to me "buy me buy me buy me" when I went to her site!) Sam and Avery at Odds.

Please pardon the lousy cropping LOL,,,,,my battery was dying and I took the picture QUICKLY, not leaving enough background room for good quality cropping (darnitall),,,,,,,,but I want to get this in today, because I have a busy weekend!

Here's a close up of this darling image!

I love love LOVE this image!!!!!! so cute!!!!! I computer printed the sentiment (All differences aside...I love you.) and layered the image over scraps of my favorite papers,,,,,,,,some K and company sparkly rose paper, some DCWV striped paper,,,,,,,and Webster's peach and white polka dots. A pink ruffled trim on the bottom,,,,,,,and a bright orange ribbon, and she's done!

Make sure you run over to Sassy Cheryl's shop, get yourself an image, and then run over to the Sassy Cheryl's challenge blog  and upload your card!!!! You get two entries to the prize if you use a Sassy Cheryl's image!



My next card (YES! ANOTHER!) I made for a dear friend who is laid up sick right now,,,,,

I used this gorgeous image from Sugar Nellie's line of "Simply Adorables" digi stamps,,,,,you can get them here! How darling is this?????????

I tried something a bit different here,,,,,,,I colored the image with copics and then layed some Webster's velum paper OVER the image,,,,,,

you can see a better close up here,,,,,, I'm not sure if I like it or not LOL,,,,,,,oh well, it's different!

some green velvet ribbon trim, a brown bow and some white lace a long the bottom, and she's finished. Easy peasy! This image is just GORGEOUS, and so easy to color!!!!! So much fun!

Thank you for looking, and I hope you enjoyed the cards!

I have more Sassy Cheryl's cards for graduations I am working on,,,,,,,,and a couple more Sugar Nellie cards as well! I hope to have those up later in the week.

I hope you all have a lovely safe holiday!

Well, Hello There,,,,,,

I'm Holly,,,,,,,it's nice to meet your aquaintance LOL. I have been SO BUSY the past several weeks, camping, planning camping, getting ready for my mom to come, going to Disney World and working on DT work, I have hardly had  A MINUTE to make a card to post here that ISN'T a DT card!

Well, today is the day! LOL. Actually, I have started SEVERAL cards that I intend to finish by tomorrow,,,,,,,some new Sugar Nellie stamps that are Oooooo la la,,,,,

and some FANTASTIC Sassy Cheryl's digi stamps,,,,,,,,I may actually DO the Sassy Cheryl's challenge this week! Yep, FAINT!

But today, I have a shabby chic card that has been in my head for WEEKS,,,,,,,but it's my new Prima Meadow Lark paper that actually got it ONTO a card base :)

so without further ado,,,,,,,,,,,,Here's my card!

I just LOVE this image,,,,,,,,,,I think I got it at Free Vintage Digi Stamps, button on my side bar. I cut it out with squares large and layered it over the Meadow lark paper and a paper doily,,,,,,,I created a banner out of coordinating paper and strung it on a length of string pearls,,,,some pearls, a length of striped ribbon, a sheer bow and a handmade flower (poinsettia die) and she's done!

Here's a close up of the flower,,,,,,,,,,,this flower was super easy,,,,,,,several layers of poinsettias some inking of the edges, and a bit of shaping, and it's finished,,,,,,,

And a final close up of the easy peasy banner I created,,,,,,,,,,,

So easy, yet so fresh and pretty! My mother-in-law should love it!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you enjoyed the card! Your comments mean the world to me!

Tomorrow is my Sugar Creek Hollow post, and I also hope to have some more cards up using some new digi stamps from Sugar Nellie and Sassy Cheryl!

Have a fantastic holiday weekend,,,,,,,,,,,I wish you good weather and better times with friends and family!

I was given this DARLING image by the Paper Shelter to work with,,,,,,he reminded me so much of a vintage farmer, that I had to dig through my vintage farm images to see what I had!

And here's my card!

Isn't he the cutest???? I colored hm in copics using blues and grays to imitate denim, cut him out with spellbinders Long Rectangles and layered him over vintage freebies found on the web. A bright red bow to pull out the reds on the images, a vintage ticket, and he's done! Easy as pie, and such a cute card! I used Graphic 45 papers to make this simple, yet darling card!

Welcome to Amelia Breytenbach! Amelia, it's so nice to have you with us this week!



And here's my card!

I am absolutely IN LOVE with this paper! It's Prima Meadow Lark,,,,,,,,and when I first got it, I was a bit disappointed,,,,,,,,but once I started layering with this gorgeous vintage rose image,,,,,,,OH MY, the paper jumps right off the card! So pretty!

I got this lovely image at a new (for me) vintage freebies site,,,,,,,,,,and I think I spent 4 hours yesterday going through every page she had to find some incredibly gorgeous images! So make sure you stop by and see what she has! The blog is called Bumble Button!

Here's the image, close up,,,,,,,

This is a relatively simple card, because I really wanted this gorgeous image and the paper to shine,,,,

I cut the image out with Spellbinders Ovals Large, inked the edges and centered it over layered Meadow Lark paper,,,,,,it's really too stunning. some ruffled ribbon, yellow sheer ribbon, Prima "Say it in pearls and crystals"  flourish and some extra pearls, and she's finished!

So easy, yet SO elegant!

I hope you loved the card, and thanks so much for looking! Your comments mean the world to me!

I hope you enjoy this week's amazing challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow, and we look forward to seeing your entry!

PARTY TIME TUESDAY!!!!!

Good Morning,,,,,,,it's Tuesday and time for another fabulous PTT  challenge this week!!!!!!

PURPLES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our fabulous sponsors this week are Kenny K, DTs ARts, and Crafty Ribbon!!!!!

Thanks to our wonderful sponsors for their generosity!!!! I was given this DTs ARts image to use,,,,,,,I thought the fairy was so sweet, that I had to make a card for a special little girl who loves fairies and birds!

so here's my card!

And to finish it off, here's the inside! I created the little rhyme myself, and printed it out on the computer, special for the recipient!

I colored the image with copics in various shades of purple, added a bow and some twine, and some foliage from Spellbinders Foliage dies,,,,,,,all from various purple shades of K and Co paper scraps.





I hope you liked the card, thanks for looking, and we hope you come join us at PTT this week for our color challenge!!!!!!!

Sugar Creek Hollow!!!!

Good Morning! It's Saturday and over at Sugar Creek Hollow, we have a fun fun FUN challenge for you this week!

We want to see your TAGS!  They should be vintage, shabby chic, or Primative in style,,,,,,and they can be a tag alone,,,or a tag on a card, whichever is your preference!

A Day for Daisies is our Fab sponsor this week!!!!

They were so generous to allow each of us to pick an image,,,,,,,,and when I saw this image, I fell in love and knew IMMEDIATELY what I would do!

I wanted the vintage story book look for my card,,,,,,,,so I colored the image in copics, cut it out, and then distressed and inked the edges.  I then embossed with clear ink and clear embossing powder three times, and then folded and cracked the embossing powder.

Here's a close up of that!

I cut my card base from Grand Labels 23, and covered it with DCWV Once Upon a Time paper. I used spellbinders nested crowns, nested hearts, and Banner Basics 1 for the banner at the top. I edged the card base and the image with gold embossing powder. It ABSOLUTELY SPARKLES.

For my little tag, I computer printed a sentiment (not mine, I don't know who thought it up, but I've seen it before), inked it and distressed it, and then rolled the top and bottom to imitate a royal scroll, and then hung it by a gold cord on a gold metal button.

Here's a close up of my tag.

I added a key cut from spellbinders Heritage dies, a few gems, some prima flowers and she's finished!

I hope you enjoyed the card, and thanks for looking! Run right over to Sugar Creek Hollow and upload your card or tag!!!!
