Tea Party Challenge #3

Bloomin' Thanks

Happy Tuesday everyone. I hope you are having a great day. Do you still do yard work? Well, our yard is full with huge weeds, DH has been working on that and today I was tired to see them flying that I decided to move them into a big pile. I didn't think I could end feeling so tired. My whole body hurts, especially mu knees. DD brought me a bottle of water and sat down on the stairs when I was taking a break. She always helps me that way, but never pulling weeds or doing the hard work. She says she is a Princess and princesses don't do that :S.

Oh well, today I have time to play Heather Scott's Sketch. Her sketches are so pretty and easy.

My card is very simple, for the image I colored it first, then cut it out and glued it onto my CS. Then added some Waterfall Stickles.

Card Recipe:

Card stock: White (GP), Bashful Blue, Bazzill Blue.

Paper: SU Simply Scrapping "Out & About"

Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful, Sea Life by H&MStamps (sentiment)

Embellishments: Bashful Blue ribbon, Mini rhinestones.

Accessories: Glue, Diamond Glaze, Waterfall Stickles.

I hope you like it.

Thanks!!

Have you visited Cammie's blog and check the great blog candy she is offering??? More the 1,000 dollars in prizes, awesome !!!!, but why? you may ask, well, her grandmother passed away last June from consequences of Alzheimer disease and yesterday in celebration of the World's Alzheimer Day, Cammie is asking to make a card for all the caregivers who take care of the people affected with this disease.
When I read that, I was in tears, my Father-in-law is suffering from this disease, hard to believe 6 years ago when I met him, he was working, driving, being so active, and now he is in a Nursing home, hardly talks, moves or does anything by himself. This disease is really aggressive, and he is going down very fast. Yesterday I called my Mother-in-law and told her that it was the World's Alzheimer Day. I asked her the name o f the Nursing home and it is "Riverside" located in Centralia, WA. (This is a picture of him and DD and DH last Christmas when we visited him)I told her I will make some cards so she could give them to the people are taking care of him, she agreed and was very thankful.
Please, if you know anybody suffering from this disease, send a card to the caregiver, or maybe you don't know anybody, but you know a Nursing home taking care of the people affected , just go there and leave a card for the staff, I bet they will appreciate it very much.

Card Recipe:

Card stock: White (GP)

Paper: American Craft (not sure about it)

Stamps: Sea Life by H&MStamps

Ink: Buckaroo blue.

Embellishments: Offray Satin ribbon (Antique Blue), Mini rhinestone.

I hope you like it.

God bless.

A blinded baby quilt

This afternoon I had some quiet time while my daughter was taking a nap and I made a "Blinded card" first time I do something like this. Verve Forum on SCS (Meet the Verve Divas) has a new challenge: blinded pick 3 papers and make a card with those ones. I always have problems creating a card just looking at my papers, imagine me doing this blinded, LOL.

Anyway, I came up with the idea of a Baby Quilt, so I could arrange the papers giving them a better look.

For my card, I cut each square 1.25", after taping them on my Certainly Celery CS, I started sewing using white thread. For the image, I stamped Some Bunny twice, I cut out the second image and added onto the first one using 3D foam.

After that I chose some mini buttons and added some white thread, glue them with Mini glue dots, some Purple ribbon and VOILA!!! It took me 1 hour to finish my card, but I love it.

I hope you like it too.

Card Recipe:

Card Stock: Barely banana, Certainly Celery.

Paper: Miss Elizabeth, Gold from Costco.

Stamps: Some bunny from Verve Visuals.

Ink: Marigold Morning.

Embellishments: Purple ribbon, Mini buttons assorted colors,

Accessories: Sewing machine, white thread, needle, Mini glue dots, 3D-foam.

Have a great day.

Apples anyone??

Happy Tuesday everyone. I hope you are having a great day. Here in the NW the weather is crazy, as always, hot during the day and cold during the night.
I have a card to show you today, I played the Color Combination Challenge on SCS . Today's colors are: Riding hood red (or real red), Basic gray and Always artichoke.

My card base is 9" x 4.25" folded in half. The red part is 4.25" x 2" and the DP is 4.25" x 1.5".

The images was stamped in white CS. I used my Coluzzle for the circles and I used my scallop scissors for the Always Artichoke CS.

I added 3 gold brads and Red Satin Ribbon.

I colored the images with Watercolor Pencils and Colored Pencils. I think IRL this card looks much better.

Double Challenge: Sketch and Inspiration

Thanks!!

I made this card two days ago, but I didn't have time to post it here. I have been busy lately. Anyway, I tried Heater's Sketch Challenge, I was very happy with my card until I checked her blog again and noticed I twisted it, {frustrated face inserted}

With this card I tried to use the Orange District ribbon, but it looked too thick, so I decided to fake it a little bit ;) I used my Only Orange CS and white ep, my ruler and VOILA!!! I got almost the same effect than the ribbon and it looks perfect.

Card Recipe:

Card stock: Kiwi Kiss, Only Orange, Burgundy, White.

Paper: DP me & my BIG Ideas CC-03

Stamp: Sea Life by H&MStamps.

Ink: Black Stazon, Red (for sponging), White embossing powder
