Stampin Diva's Challenge # 5

It is time again for the Stampin Diva's Challenge. Lynda (my MIL) decided to do a sketch challenge. The sketch came from the Joy of Cardmaking. In addition to the sketch we also had to use a bird image. Perfect for me! I love the Bird Notes set from Crafty Secrets. I colored the bird in with my Prismas and Gamsol.I added textured "snow" to parts of the bird and under his feet. While the texture paste was wet I sprinkled glitter. Off the top of my head, I can't remember who the paper is by.....sorry! My mind is so full of stuff right now!

Tonight my hubby and I are going on a date! We are going to an outdoor music festival. It is like having a huge picnic with lots of people. But more romantic! (If that's possible with a lot of people!) Just imagine a sea of blankets, candlelight, wine, snacks, and great music playing in the background. We are going to listen to Los Lobos. (I hope I spelled that right!)

Stampin' Diva's Challenge # 4!

Joanne from, My Adventures in Cardmaking, decided this month's challenge. She wanted us to use a SU! set, and 3 embellishments. One of those had to be ribbon. (No biggie for me.....I LOVE ribbon!) I blew the dust off this old set, the very first SU! set I ever bought. I colored it in with my Copics. (Yes, Joanne, my Copics! : ) I used my other favorite tool, my Nestibilities to cut the circles. The DP is by KI Memories. Remember these alphabet beads? How big they were many a year ago in scrapbooking? Yep, pulled those babies out too! (This card would be perfect for Scrap Your Crap! I'll have to talk to Simone and Greta about this.....)

Check out the other girls' cards too!

Card Diva's Challenge #3!

As many of you know I get together with a stamping group once a month. We pick and image and use it as our "challenge" for the month. In honor of Simone loving animals that do human like things, I picked this little guy! What better than a monkey in an inner tube? Can you imagine the business the zoos would get with this guy there? But I digress......anyway, I decided to make a round gatefold card like Debbie Olson showed on her blog a couple of weeks ago. SHE made it look easy! After about 50 pieces of cardstock I finally got the dimensions right! The image was colored in with my Copics. (Sorry JoAnne!) And I found this ancient tie dyed paper from eons ago to match!
And of course no card would be complete without some kind of embellishment!

Check out the other divas to see what they came up with! (If they haven't posted yet, try back again later!)
