Tea Party Challenge #17: Yellow

Hello my friends!! I hope you are having a great day, it is smARTworks Tea Party Time, this time Peggy challenged us to use "Yellow" in our projects. So you are going to have a lot of fun checking the DT creations.
For my card I used Frames Set. The frame was heat embossed in Gold embossing powder and cut it out, then I sponges the borders with Canary Pigment. The birds were stamped on a piece of barely Banana CS using White embossing powder and also cut them out. For the background I used the Cuttlebug and Textile Folder, then I attached some yummy ribbon and a couple of Pearls at the bottom.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: White, Barely Banana.
Stamps: Frames.
Ink: Clear Ink Pad, Canary Pigment (Color Box), Stazon Black.
Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon ( Michaels), Pearls (Kaiser)
Accessories: Embossing gun, White embossing powder, Gold Embossing powder, Cuttlebug, Textile folder, SU Dimensionals, Corner Punch, Mini glue dots.

Now head over to Susan (for Peggy and Sarah too), Dina, Trish, Donna and Donelda and enjoy their bright and sunny yellow creations.

Canadian Geese trying to find a place to make a nest. This couple was a lot of fun.

Mamma Bird: That's how we call her. This is the 3rd Spring in a row she is back to make her nest here. The only complain: She is TOO LOUD!!! She starts chirping around 4:00 am and never stops. Her babies thought are always cute, LOL. You can't see it but her eyes are Real RED!!

And last, this critter (as I call them) here you can see only one, but it was a whole family of 8!! This is a Sage Rat Baby, they look cute, but they destroy your yard, well, I can't say I have a nice yard, but we don't want them either.

Oh well, I didn't have a card to show today, so I thought I would share this with you. I took all these pictures with my new camera and I used 20X zoom.

Come back tomorrow and enjoy our First Mothers & Daughters Creations Blog Roll!!! Prizes and challenges everyday.

I've been feeling a little sad lately, my cousin is sick, but she has a good spirit and even though she knows her health right now is not the best, she knows she can conquer one more time another difficult situation. I just need something to make me feel better. I've been playing more than usual with DD, she loves to play Wii Play ( Find the Miis), over and over, sometimes I have to say, no more. She also loves to do Wii Fit, she is so funny and whatever her scores is, she gets so excited, LOL.
Anyway, I made a card for Cafe Mojo, this is a blog with fun challenges, and this time Mothers & Daughters Creations is sponsoring the challenge and giving away $15.00 prize in MDC products.

smARTworks Tea Party : Shaped cards!!

Hello my friends, it is time for another smARTworks Tea Party, today I am hosting the Party and I had challenged you to create "Shape cards". Believe it or not I had a lot of ideas for this challenge, and I tried them all, sometimes not good results, but I kept the ones I like the most and I have 3 cards to show you !!!

Celebrate the moment: For this card I used the small stamp from Frames set and with the help of my stamp-a-ma-jig I started stamping using More Mustard Ink. The frame was stamped in Orange Cs using White Craft ink and heat embossed in White ep. I used Scallop scissors for the border of my card. I added little drops of Liquid Pearls and I attached some yummy ribbon.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Orange, More Mustard, White.
Stamps: Frames
Ink: More Mustard, White Craft.
Embellishments: Bobbin Ribbon, Liquid Pearls.
Accessories: Stamp-a-ma-jig, Mini glue dots, SU Dimensionals, White embossing powder, Embossing gun, Provo Craft Scallop scissors.

Welcome Little One: This card is very simple, I created a template on Windows Power Point and then traced it onto my CS. I stamped the sentiment from Combo Sentiment Set in Whisper White CS using Real Red Ink. The BG paper is perfect for this card, it has little glitter stars!! I added a little bow on top.


Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Tangerine Tango, Whisper White.
Paper: Just Dreamy by My Mind's Eye.
Stamps: Combo Sentiments.
Ink: Real Red.
Embellishments: Offray White ribbon.
Accessories: Mini glue dots, SU Dimensionals.

Be Joyful: This card is really pretty. It took a while to make it, but at the end I was very happy with the results. For this card I used 2 smARTworks sets: Cookie Plate #1 and Buttoned Up. I stamped the leaves on Whisper White CS using Certainly Celery Ink, then using the same image I used Real Red and Orange Ink just to stamp the flower area, after that they were cut out, I also stamped the single flower from Buttoned Up set in Pretty in Pink Ink and cut them out. The sentiment was stamp in Read Red.

Card Recipe:
Card Stock: Whisper White, Red.
Paper: Just Dreamy by my Mind's Eye.
Stamps: Cookie Plate and Buttoned-Up.
Ink: Real Red, Certainly Celery, Orange, Pretty in Pink.
Embellishments: Organdy Red Ribbon.
Accessories: SU Dimensionals, stamp-a-ma-jig, Coluzzle, pointy scissors.

I hope you like my creations and also you have some time to play along too. Remember, you don't need to use smARTworks stamps.
Now, head over to Susan (for Peggy and Sarah's too), Dina, Trish, Donelda and Donna and enjoy their creations too.

Have a great day!!
God bless
