Here's the second set of Christmas cards I made over the weekend. I still have another set for tomorrow's post. I'm just trying to catch up and have to take advantage while the Christmas mojo is around.
Lots of layering.... and Martha Stewart punches. The sketch is by Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.

Pollycraft Challenge

Here's my take on Christmas with NO green or red. It's odd to see Christmas card without the usual green or red, but I kind a like this purple number. I still need to keep up with my Christmas stash, but this one is not simple enough to mass produce.

You're in my prayer

Our good friend's Mom passed away last Sunday the 5th of September. She will be missed.... specially when we do our quarterly card making here at my house.
I used Monday Mojo sketch and Flourishes challenge "Rustic Beauty" for this card. I did a lot of distressing and I also used my favourite technique, Distress ink with Alcohol Blending Solution. I stamped the image three times and then layered the flowers to give it some 3d. I also heat embossed the flowers so I can shape them for easy layering.

Happy Friday


What a week!!! Thank God it's Friday and it's also a long weekend for us. My last card to share with you.... I have been busy with back to school and friends staying at our place, that I haven't craft since Tuesday.
I just love this digi image from Di's Digi Downloads. I also used my favorite paper by Daisy Bucket and Martha Stewart's corner and border punch. The sketch is by A Spoon full of Sugar

Nature

Pollycraft's challenge is to add anything nature and I combined it with Sketch and Stash Challenge sketch.



I didn't do much layering except for the flower and butterfly.
I'm scheduling this post for tomorrow and tonight is the last day of freedom. The girls will have to get up early for school.... now that school is back, they will probably want to sleep in. My BIG girl is in grade 1!! I can't believe it... She's not looking forward to going back to school because she doesn't know who her teacher is, where her classroom is and who's in her class. We don't understand why the school have it set like that... poor kids are having anxiety attack for not knowing what's out there and what to expect. I hope it's not gonna be that crazy at the school....lol! who am I kidding?

PBSC and SSSC

Summer Luvin' is the challenge for PBS and I used SSC sketch with it. I had to cut the image out because I got ink all over the bottom part and it all happened just right after I finished colouring. Gota love that eh?
Close up picture of the flowers. I used my favourite paper "Daisy Bucket" and layered with PTI paper.

WOYWW! My craft room is a mess from last night's crafting. I did total of 3 cards though...

Mojolicous

It's so good to be home and be back in my craft room. Was able to do my Mojo sketch, but must say.... with such great difficulty. I wanted to do the circle sketch, but the circle nestie was not big enough for me to design it and kind a cheated a bit. I guess I could of used my Cricut like how I planed it to be....
I had to design the inside as well do make it more sturdy. I usually don't, but I kind like it and might start doing it. We went to a wedding last weekend and made a wedding card, but somehow I can't find the picture. I really like how it turned out, but I guess I'm not gonna be able to show you. Oh well... hope I find it somewhere and not accidentally deleted from the camera.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Finally!!! I'm able to join the PBS challenge. I thought I have lots of PB stamps... I guess I'm wrong because I was not able to participate with "Feeling Fruity" and "On the Beach" challenge.



At least this time is a sketch challenge and it's a lot easier to follow.

High Hopes challenge 85

Water is the challenge for this week and I started this one on Tuesday, but just managed to complete the card last night while I was doing the "CALGALS" all by my self!! It was cancelled Friday morning and was very disappointed because we haven't seen each other for 3 months.
Don't know if you can see it... I used glossy accents on the bubbles.

Mojomadness #152

I did my Mojo sketch challenge yesterday, but didn't get a chance to upload last night. This digi image is from Pollycraft and it's the sweetest thing! I enjoyed colouring her and this time I didn't have problem printing...didn't even have to heat set!! I used Neenah paper, which is easier to colour than PTI (not as thick and you don't use that much ink)
And of course I have to enter this card to Pollyworld of craft challenge (Pollycraft #57)

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 81

Monday Morning to you all!! We were gone camping over the weekend and last night while doing laundry I was able to do SSSC. We had fun camping, but the weather was not that great! It was very SUNNY when we were packing though...

I always check Allison's blog for sketch challenge. I luv it cause it's all there with her "inlinkz" and it's easy to choose instead of checking each blog. Thanks, Allison!

Christmas Cards

The sketch lay out is from A spoonful of sugar challenge 116. I was gonna do TCC, but the challenge for the month of August is Purple. I just did four cards with that colour and thought it would be nice to use something else.
I was gonna enter it for ABC Christmas challenge, but it's a tad late. I don't know what I was thinking when I made these.... wonder how much it would cost to mail each one. I might save them to be hand delivered instead.

High Hope Challenge 84 and LPSC 80

My last purple and green combo!! I've coloured this little guy long time ago and thought I'd do the high hope challenge by using the LP skectch challenge.

Mojo 151

What's with the colour Purple?? I know you're probably getting sick of my colour combo, but it's the only way for me to cut down my scrap file. I always try to make 4 cards and this is my third one, so if you don't like purple.... I'm afraid there's one more post coming your way.
I used Penny Black's Flower Gallery with the sentiment from Verve's Because of you.

FTL 102

When I saw Clean and Simple sketch challenge, I knew I just had to use my "4 up bears" by Stamp it
Here's my take on FTL 102. I really luv how it turned out and thinking of doing the same layout for my TCC Christmas cards (the one that I have fallen off the wagon since Tracy decided to pass it on to someone else) I believe I have 4 months of challenge to catch up with.

I stamped the image 6 times and coloured with copic markers. Cut three bears including the frame or box and then cut the remaining 3 bears and flowers which I heat embossed to give it a shine and glued them on top with dimensionals.

TD03

Flower power!! I luv this digi image by Tiffany
I didn't have any problem colouring with my copics this time, but printing using PTI was not fun at all. My PTI paper kept jamming the printer due to the thickness. I was only able to print one sheet and gave up after wasting 3 sheets of PTI. Maybe I need new printer??
Thanks for bloggin' by and hope you're enjoying summer!

Dark Chocolate Bear

I was going for a very dark coco bear, but instead... you can't even see the face of the bear. I'm playing around with water color using distress inks. If I was using my copics, I could of made it lighter. I tried lifting off some of the paint with just a wet brush, but the color turned grayish. Oh well... what can ya do.



Catching up with challenges and this one is for PBSC and The Pixie Cottage.

Child Labor?

She's only 5, but it wouldn't hurt to start them early right?
She was all excited because big sis did dishes this afternoon.

We don't know how long the excitement will last before it's replaced with tears and whining.
Tomorrow I'll show them how to vacuum... LOL! I better slow down or I'll have nothing to do around the house.
Ta daaaa!!

Mojolicious 150

I am back with a card!! We have been camping and crafting was not in my vocabulary at all. I have been in my craft room, but nothing was coming to me.

I really love how Julee did hers and I just focused on her card and Voila!! I came up with this one. It was really hard trying to find my mojo.


Still happy that I was able to create though...

Did yah miss me?

Koocanusa!! That's where we were for two weeks.
We wake up every morning to this view (it's actually more mid of the day) It was GREAT!! Going to bed late and waking up late.
Weather was great, a little thunder storm one day, then sunshine again.

My girls didn't wanted to come home... They enjoyed the 2 weeks of camping.
It was fun roughin' it, but I'm also glad to be back home.
