Everything But The Kitchen Sink Challenge # 28- Textures

Good morning! It's time for another EBTKS challenge! I had a really fun time with this project! Ann used this picture of this fuzzy blanket and pillow as her inspiration. So we were to make a card with textures. My first thought was a fuzzy baby blanket. So I figured since the blanket and pillow were blue, I went with a boy theme. Here is my baby boy card. I used left-overs from Chace's blanket I made him last year. It's SO soft! I want to make one for a baby girl now! :)Our sponsor this time is LimeLight papercrafts! And here is the package up for grabs to the winner.So stop by the EBTKS blog for all the details and check out all the other DT's cards.

Have a Blessed day!

EBTKS #24 Around the House Challenge

Good morning! Well today we have a new EBTKS challenge. Our regular Around the House Challenge will be a little different. We will still choose something from around the house, but it can be anything and we can use it as inspiration. So this time Lynnette is our host and she chose this bag. I love all the wild patterns and colors and when I saw it, I knew the perfect stamp for it.Our sponsor this week is...
The winner will get to choose 5 items from their store! And they have some Beautiful stuff there! :)

So here is my card. I have never used this stamp and I have had it for years. I never had the markers I needed to color the images, but now that I do...it was perfect. I tried to use the colors I found in the bag. And I think the colors work so well together.I used my new Guiding Light Sentiments stamps from Wplus9 Designs. They are Beautiful stamps! I think I might send this card to my Mee Mee. I really do miss her more and more every day!Here are the colors I used. I love these markers! :)Don't forget to stop by the EBTKS blog for all the details and take a look at all the other Designers projects.

EBTKS #23 Sketch Challenge

Good morning! It's time for another EBTKS sketch challenge! This week Ann is our host and she found inspiration from her husbands gaming system. Seriously, you can find inspiration anywhere! :) Her is the sketch. And here is my card.
As I was blog hopping, I found that a Blogger was talking about Copic Ciaos. I had never heard or seen them before. So I spoke with her about them and she said that she was wanting to sell some of hers, because she had gotten new ones from work. So I decided to buy 72 markers from her and I have been coloring like CRAZY! I think I like using these better than the original Copics and they are cheaper! :)

Supplies: Cardstock- (Aqua Mist & white) PTI, Stamps- (Ever After) Wplus9 Design Studio, Ink- (Tuxedo Black) Memento, Other- (R85, G21, R59, G99, 0) Copic Ciaos

EBTKS Challenge #22- Around the House

Good morning! It time for our "Around the House Challenge" from EBTKS blog. And I am the host this month. And my item to use from around the house is Hair Accessories! It can be rubber bands, bobby pins, clips, etc... Just about everybody has some kind of hair accessory if they have hair or a daughter! I was at my sisters house a couple of weekends ago and we were looking through her daughters hair accessories. And I found the cutest butterfly that was made out of small rubber bands. So that got me thinking about cards and how than can be used on a card and be taken off to use as a gift too! :) And our sponsor is...Some Odd Girl! They are giving away 3 digital stamps of your choice to the winner! And they have some Cute digi stamps! So stop by their blog and check them out! :)

So here is what I came up with. Isn't that a cute rainbow?! It's the "Rainbow" from the Some Odd Girl Store. I printed out the rainbow and cut the rays and clouds apart and wrapped around different color rubber bands on the rays. And then adhered it with glue dots. It really reminds me of Rainbow Brite! Hence the sentiment! (but I think it was spelled Rainbow Brite.) :) Here is another card I made using hair accessories. That butterfly is similar to the one I saw at my sisters. And I used colored bobby pins for the flower stems too. Supplies: {Have a Rainbow Bright day! card} Cardstock: (Harvest Gold & white) PTI; Stamps: (Harold's ABC's) Lawn Fawn ; Digi stamps: (Rainbow) Some Odd Girl ; Ink: (Tuxedo Black) Memento; BG02 Copic marker ; Other: Rubber bands, glue dots, foam adhesive

{Happy Birthday Friend card} Cardstock: (White) PTI ; Stamps: sentiment (You're Dandy) Practicing Creativity, butterfly dashes (How Delightful) Lawn Fawn ; Ink: (Green) Hampton Art ; Other: Rubber bands, bobby pins, glue dots, floss

I had so much fun creating these cards! I hope you will join us over at the EBTKS challenge.
And stop by there for all the details.

Have a Blessed day!

EBTKS #20- Around the House Challenge

Good morning! It's time for an Around the House Challenge over at EBTKS blog! This week Courtney is our host and she chose Buttons! I really love old buttons and unique buttons! So I knew just what button I wanted to use on a project! :) We have a great sponsor this week....Simon Says Stamp! Woo Hoo! So go by and check out their store! :)

My MIL bought me a jacket from a garage sale last year and it was brand new and still had the tags on it. And along with the tag was the extra button! You can see the jacket here. I have known that I wanted to use that button on something, so this challenge was it!

Here is my card. And you can take it off and use it as a hair piece.
You can use it in your hair or clip it on a shirt or necklace.
I also made the headband. I used some trim that I found a JoAnn's and just hot glued it on. And I left one little spot open and didn't glue it, so I could clip on the flower.
Here is the back of the flower, showing it clipped on instead of glued on.
{Supplies: Cardstock- (PTI) vintage cream, (Paper reflections) brown ; Stamps- (PTI) (leaves) Turning a new leaf & (sentiment) Damask Designs ; Ink- (VersaMark) watermark, (Tsukineko- Memento) Rich cocoa ; Other- corner rounder, hole punch, trim, fabric, & clip (JoAnn's), headband (WalMart), button from stash}

You could make this whole set as a gift, but I think I am going to be stingy and keep it myself! :) I will make another one to give away!

I hope ya'll liked my project and go by the EBTKS blog and check out the other designers cards too. And you can get all the details on the challenge too!

We will be going to my Mee Mee's today to stay with her a couple of days. She is very lonely since my Paw Paw passed away. If you will Please keep her in your prayers. Thank You!

Have a Blessed day and weekend! :)
