Make Something Monday # 12

Good Morning !! I sure hope you had a wonderful weekend and are ready to face the work week. We had an awesome fly-in for my husbands remote control airplanes. We had great weather and turnout. Last week at Where Life Meets Art we asked you to Use a Mask or Stencil and we had seven (7) beautiful entries. We want to thank everyone and feature this card from   Piali Baswas  

 

Great use of a mask. Your color combo really pops on this card.

Thank you for sharing your card with us.

 

Now for this week we want you to....

Use a Doily !!

 

You can use a doily that you bought, cut from a machine or just stamped.

We just want to see one on your project.

 

For my project I used a store bought doily on my layout.

This wasn't what I was going to share this week, but sometimes

project just do not deserve to be featured and if you

saw the card I made last night you would understand.

So, I had this layout in an album I am working on and I decided to share it instead.

 

This doily has been in my stash for awhile and it brought the layout

together really well. With the pop of white your eyes are carried

around the page.

Makes Something Monday #

Well, we had 7 great entries into our Green and Gold challenge last week. Thanks to everyone that joined us last week everyone of them was beautiful.   My favorite entry was from Linda  

This is the cutiest image Linda Great job on coloring and thanks for sharing.   Make sure you stop by and visit her blog and show her some love.  

 

This week we want you to use a Stencil or Mask.

 

For my project I made a scrapbook page with Mr Huey's mask.

This is one of my favorite mask I have and I really use it a lot.

 

 

I laid my stencil down and used my dapper to paint on my page.

Then I added some silver glitter before it dried.

 

Then I used my black pen to draw some doodle lines

 

I only used a small portion of my stencil but it has a lot of possibilities.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to hop on over and link your project

Make it Monday # 10

Monday again !! I sure hope everyone had a great weekend. We didn't have any entries into our sketch challenge last week but we are not giving up yet. This week we want you to create something with these two colors

Green and Gold

    So, for my project I had to whip together a quick card. I have worked all weekend so this one is going to be simple.     The Gold, star embossed paper is from The Paper Studio. I picked this pack of paper up at Hobby Lobby and when I got it home I really liked the diffent kinds of embossed paper.   I added the ribbon and took green string and tied it in the middle and placed a button. The swirls were cut with a Sizzix die on my Big Shot. Stamped my sentiment with black ink. Not anything big this week but hey, I lost a hour of sleep with the time change and boy do I miss it !! LOL   Thanks for stopping by and please go over to Where life meets Art and join the challenge I'm sure Susan has something to share today too.    

Make Something Monday # 9

Good Morning !! Last week we were so excited to have 11 entries.  They were all so awesome but we could only pick one to win.   That winner is Marilyn  

    You did an awesome job !! Your coloring on the little mice are just too cute !! Make sure you stop by and claim your prize with Susan over at Where Life Meets Art.   Now for this week we want you to use a sketch. This sketch came from Shawn over at Nuts About Sketches Make sure you stop by her blog and check out all her sketches.  

    My layout with this sketch started with a picture of me and my daughter Lauren. We were kidding around, as usual, at the restaurant and someone snapped our picture.   The background paper was distressed and mounted on white card stock. Crate Paper is one of my favorite paper line so all the paper is from that line.   The burlap and ribbon was perfect for this layout. Oh, and I actually got my sewing machine our and stitched a few things down. Every time I get it out I love the results don't know why I don't get it our more.

The purple is just acrylic paint that I dipped my paintbrush in. Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop over at Susan's blog to join in the fun challenge.       

Make Something Monday !!!

So, It is Monday again and the weekend has gone by way too fast again. My daughter Lauren has been spending the weekend with us which means she is sleeping in my craft room. So, today I am going to share a card I had in my stash. I love it when she comes cause we don't get to see her enough since she lives in Mississippi. That isn't that far way but she works a lot too.   With that said this card works great for our challenge this week over at Where Life Meets Art This week we want you to stamp something. Stamping can be ink or digital and this card has a digital stamp I colored with my Copic markers.  

  Then I cut it out with my Big Shot scalloped circles dies. Thanks for stopping by and if I get back in my room tonight I will whip up another new project to share with you Wednesday. Don't forget to find a little time to be creative this week.   Stop by and see what Susan has to share.      

Make Something Monday # 6

  Well, it's Monday and that means we have decided on another challenge over at Where Life Meets Art and we sure hope you will join in the fun.   This week we want you to use hearts. Since Friday is Valentines Day it should be an easy challenge.   For my entry I needed to make a Wedding card again so this was perfect. To stick with the challenge I used heart brads to anchor my vellum onto my card.

  I used gold embossing power for my sentiment and I found this gold paper in my scrap paper. Sure to wish I knew where I got it cause I love it.   Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to stop by Susan's blog to see what she has to share and to join our challenge.
