For a Baby Girl!

Paper:  Whisper White, Plum, Graphic 45 Secret Garden
Markers/Ink: Copics, Distress Dusty Concord
Embellishments: Spellbinders, BoBunny Ribbon, Prima Pearls

Lady in the Park

I have another card for the Craft a Scene theme "In the Park".  I actually inked this one at the Savanna retreat a couple of years ago but never colored it.  I think it works ok for the theme as this lovely lady is walking in the park enjoying her surroundings.

I think most of the images are from Beeswax. The sentiment is My Favorite Things.  I am not sure about the trees though.  I colored most everything with PanPastel chalks.  The lady and tree trunks I colored with Copics.

Card Recipe

Images: Beeswas Images, Sentiment is My Favorite Things
Paper: Bazzell Pink and brown, Cryogen White for the scene, Whisper White for the card base
Markers/Ink: Momento Black, PanPastels, Copics
Embellishments: none this time

Time for Christmas Preparations?

I have been working on at least one Christmas card a month until I start to really get into the groove with Christmas cards.  This one uses that cute little "Take a Break Ginger".  She is sleeping in the mixing bowl so it is going to be difficult to make the next batch of cookies!


Card Recipe
Images: Digital Delights, Take a Break Ginger, Christmas Senitment Set
Paper:  Bazzill brown, Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas
Markers/Ink: Copics, Distress Tea Dye
Embellishments: Spellbinders, Wild Orchid corner, Stickles

Sailing the Ocean Blue

I was looking around blogland for something different and found this great "bendi" card on Split Coast Stampers.

I used the Sailor Simon set from Digital Delights and Spellbinders Nautical Frame and Accents set to make my bendi card.  

  • I cut out my base pieces and then covered them with the nautical paper.
  • Next I cut the edges of the two front flaps with the Spellbinders wave edge die.
  • The rest was easy, just coloring and sticking the images them where I wanted them on the card.



 The two front flaps open up to display the inside of the card (this part was difficult to photograph).

Paper: Whisper White, DDDesignes7 French My Sailor Boy paper

Scouts and Camping

Some of my fondest memories as a child was as a Girl Scout and camping with my troupe.  I am actually camping as this card is posted.  We have been having lots of time in the woods and with family this summer.

 I used Scouting Stevie on my card because I need more boy cards.



The Digital Delights Camping background is great to use with any project and this one goes so well with Stevie.



Card Recipe
Paper: Whisper White, Bazzill brown, BoBunny Trail Mix
Markers/Ink: Copics, Opaque White for the clouds
Embellishments: BoBunny Twine, Spellbinders, Eyelet Outlet Stag brad

I Caught One This Big!

Well this summer has been full with lots of work, family and camping. However, I actually had time to do an extra card "just because" with this great fishing set from Digital Delights.


Fishing is something we do mostly when we are camping with the grandkids.  This little fellow reminds me of the eldest one who is 10 this year.

 You can purchase each character individually or as a set from the Digitial Delights store.




Card Recipe
Paper: Very Vanilla, Bazzill green, BoBunny Trail Mix
Markers/Ink: Copics, Adarondack green
Embellishments: BoBunny Twine, Spellbinders, prima pearls, Kraft tag, SU Label punch, Memory Box and Cottage Cutz dies

I will see you all on Sunday with my card for the new Craft a Scene challenge. Have a Great Day!
