Sketch Challenge

I made this card for Marie's Card Sketch Challenge . I had fun making this card although I always seem to be on the late side.

This card also doubles as one of the RAKs to be sent out (this one is for my mother).

The inside says " I could walk forever in my garden".

Stamp - Penny Black.

Paper - K&Company. SU whisper white. SU cardstock.

Ink - SU creamy caramel, close to cocoa and classic black.

Colored with Prismacolor pencils and oderless mineral spirits.

Accessories - may arts ribbon, stickles, stitching and computer for sentiments.

Thanks Marie for a Great Sketch!

I hope everyone is having a Great Day! Thanks for looking!!

Tagged!! Bumper Card (RAK)

I have recently been tagged by Domenica and Charlene in a 'pay it forward' type of tag. I need to send out an RAK (Random Act of Kindness) to a friend, family or fellow blogger and then tag 5 others to do the same. I will send mine out in the next few days.

I am tagging...

I Thee Wed

Oh my Gosh!! It is hot..hot..hot here! We have a wedding to go to tomorrow and it is fore casted to be even hotter!!! I understand that the hall it is in has air conditioning..that will certainly be a help...although with over 300+ quests...I'm not so sure it will manage to keep everyone comfortable. Oh well...I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding anyway.

This is my first wedding card. It is for my husbands young cousin...Lol..all his cousins are young...cause hubby is the oldest son of the oldest son that got married very young.....Wow..what a mouthful...anyone get that?

Anyway this card has NO stamping on it!! ....but hey..it does have ink....

The image is a copy write free image from flikr. I printed it out, adding the sentiment, onto semi gloss photo paper. I also printed out the, "i thee wed" sentiment onto Costco paper.

Paper - Costco celebrations, DCWV textured card stock, metallic paper and semi gloss photo paper.

Ink - SU olive green and close to cocoa.

Accessories - Maya arts ribbon, SU silver cord, bling, cuttlebug photo corners and stitching.

Thanks for looking......and I hope everyone has a Lovely weekend!!

Happy 50th Birthday

I have a card today that I made for my girlfriend. We have been best buds since childhood. She was the youngest of our little group......and we use to tease her a little about her age. As we all got older she then got to gloat over the fact that she was younger...lol.

For a gift I had a little fun giving her some age related items. I make and label my own home made soap...so.. I gave her three bars of soap replacing the original labels to say; "Achy Pain Soap"..."Over the Hill Soap" and "Anti Wrinkle Dimple Soap". They all state in brackets under each name (for 50 and over)...Of course I also included a few nice little gifts...(a couple of hanging ornies for her deck). I'm not all mean...lol....all in fun. She has a great sense of humor and is an Awesome person and friend.....

Here is the card I made for her. I hope she likes it:

Stamps - Penny Black, Hampton Art, SU amazing to zany, Inkadinkado.

Paper - SU whisper white, always artichoke. K&C Mckenna, Basic Grey Phoebe.

Image is water colored with H20's.

Ink - SU close to cocoa, creamy caramel, basic black, Versafine black.

Accessories - Stitching, flowers, brad, Maya arts ribbon, stardust black pen, glitter, scribbles, coluzzle, oval scallop punch.

Have a wonderful day every one!.....and....
