CPS Sketch: Sweet Bunny

Happy Thursday everyone, I hope you are having a great day. My day started early this morning, a cup of coffee, not work-out, feeling blue and sick, yikes!! So far I am surviving my day, DD made me a sandwich for lunch: Turkey and Peperoni, her favorite, not mive, but I was glad she made it for me.

Anyway, I decided to create even though I knew my Mojo was some where but here. I checked Card Positioning Systems Blog and decided I should play the sketch.
I used products from Mothers & Daughters Creations Store. I started my card with Kraft CS as my card base. I stitched together a piece of Pink Pirouette CS and a piece of SEI Lovebirds DP.Then I added Pink Passion CS underneath. The cute bunny is Sleeping Bunny - Serendipity. I colored the image with Watercolor Pencils and Markers, then I added some Stickles and Clear Crystals from Zva. The yummy riboon is Grosgrain Pink/Fucsia/Blue by May Arts. I added some green buttons from my stash.

Anyway, today I played SCS Sketch Challenge. I had some material from my previous post and I decided to continue my work with the same stamp and papers, I hope you don't get bored :)

Peace and Love to you

Hi everyone, here I am still feeling sick, headaches, tiredness and not too much appetite, well maybe this is the only way to lose weight, LOL.
Anyway, this morning I played Sketch Challenge on SCS. I love my card, but my picture is not the best, I will try to take another one later.
The image and sentiment are from Cozy Winter Set by Serendipity. The Designed Paper is from Best Creations: Frosty Christmas .
The pretty ribbon is from Martha Stewart Collection, this ribbon is so soft and delicate I love it!! I colored the image with watercolor pencils and then embossed the roofs with white emboosing powder. I sponged the images with Chocolate chip Craft ink. I added a bit of Liquid Applique on the snow spots and also used my sewing machine around every image and the main panel.

Heart speak

Happy Wednesday everyone. Today I have a lot of yard work to do, I started last night and I am feeling a little bit tired already, but DH and I are cleaning the biggest part of our property that has lots of weeds, I hate weeds. We are dreaming one day we will have the most beautiful yard and why not a perfect garden too!!!!

Anyway, today on SCS is Sketch Challenge Day . I would say I tried the sketch with a completely different set and colors, but at the end I didn't like the results, so I tried again and I love this card. I hope you too.

I received this pretty image from the WR group , this is from SU Heartspeak set. I colored the basket using Sargent Art Colored Pencils, I used Tan, Orange and Brown. the flowers are colors with Red Orange, Red, Rose,Peach, Yellow and Pink, after that I over colored them with SU markers. The leaves are colored with Yellow Green.

I sponged the middle are and the diamond white CS with Orange pigment ink.

I added a couple of Bella Baubles in the right bottom corner.

The orange ribbon is from Walmart.

I hope you like it.

Have a blessed day.

Hello everyone. I hope you are having a great day, better than me.

I woke up at 2 am with a terrible headache, palpitations, I tried to go back to sleep, but my headache was getting worse, finally I got up, took an aspirin and I decided to watch TV. DH woke up at 5:30 and I heard he was looking for me, he went to the living room and asked me if I was OK, I said I feel better now, he wanted to stay home today, I told him I will call you if I need you, right now I am feeling super tired, I really want to go back to sleep, but I don't have anybody to watch Rebecca, so I suppose I will sleep when she takes her nap.

Thanks a lot all of you who sent me e-mails, I appreciate your words and prayers.
