Cinemas Saturday Challenge #33-Ever After and Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge

I did this card for 2 challenges. Of course I love to do cards for the Cinema Saturday Challenge and this week was the movie Ever After. I wanted to do a card with soft colors. I loved Drew Barrymore in the beautiful butterfly dress and she had to have imagination to get the Prince! I stamped and distressed everything in Sahara Sand. I colored everything with chalks. The girl and saying are Invoke Arts. The butterflies are fontwerks and the flourish is Queen Kat Designs and the papers are Creative Memories. I added a clear butterfly from Heidi Swapp and ribbon from my stash.You were supposed to include a flourish so I put one in the bottom right corner. I had fun making this card!

Sue McMahon told me that she is a design team member for Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge and invited me to try one of their sketches. This is MMSC2. There is a link to their site on my blog. Check it out, there are a lot of talented people there. Thanks for stopping by!

Stamp Something-Sketch Something

The challenge this week at the Stamp Something Blog was a sketch which I love to do! I decided to make a black and white card with a little silver ribbon and bling! I also ran the white panel through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. The stamps are from Hero Arts. I added Dazzling Diamonds but it is hard to see from the scan. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

The stamps are StampinUp. Thanks for stopping by!

Cinema Saturday #32Twilight

The movie for this week at Cinema Saturday Challenge was Twilight. I just finished the book on Sunday and I watched the movie before that. I am a romantic so of course I loved this movie! I wanted to keep this card simple. This is to Edward from Bella when she was seperated from him! Twilight is their favorite time of day but this is more like midnight! For my sparkle I used Enchanted Gold embossing powder. The stamps are StampinUp. I clear embossed the moon and the Missing You is a rub on by Memory Makers and I added a heart bling. Thanks for stopping by!

House Mouse Challenge #37-Moving

I made this card for the latest House Mouse Challenge. You were supposed to make a card pertaining to Moving. This stamp is Bunny Hop. I just love the little bunnies hopping on the bed! I colored them with Copic Markers. I Cuttlebugged the black cardstock. The saying is computer generated and I added the circle clips. Thanks for stopping by!

Cinema Saturday #31-Steel Magnolias

The movie for this week is Steel Magnolias and you were supposed to use some pink on your card. This movie is a tear jerker! I picked this stamp to use because it reminds me of a Mama Tree taking card of her baby tree or you could look at it as God looking after us. I like it in the movie when the Daryl Hanna character starts praying all the time! This card could be comforting to Shelby's friends and family. The tree stamp is Stampendous and the saying is StampinUp. The butterflies are Heidi Swapp and I added bling. Thanks for stopping by!

I used the great sketch from Mojo Monday. Thanks for stopping by!
