I received the pink felt panels in my Queen Kat Design Card Kit. I colored her with Copic markers. I added ribbon and light pink pearls from Kaiser Scrapbook. I added Dazzling Diamonds on her wings but it is hard to tell from the scan. Thanks for stopping by!

Ready, Set-STAMP- Challenge 1

There is a new challenge blog. It is called Ready, Set, STAMP! They give you ingredients for your project. This week is to use a cat or dog, 3 kinds of brads, black and gold, the batik technique and a book page. You are also forbidden to do anything cute! I really needed this because my cards have become very cute and it doesn't hurt to do a variety! This is a layout of our cat. I used black chipboard letters on gold paper. The patterned paper is Lil Davis. I computer generated the journaling. I used 2 different paw stamps. The big ones using the batik method is Stamp Craft and the small gold embossed paw prints around the journaling is Hero Arts. I used 3 small heart brads in the corner, one decorative brad under the title and 3 gold brads on the picture. Hope I got everything! This was a fun challenge! Thanks for stopping by!

Cinema Saturday Challenge#40-National Treasure

The movie this week for the Cinema Saturday Challenge is National Treasure 1 or 2. I chose National Treasure 1 because in it they refer to the Freemasons. This really interested me because my Dad was a Mason. The movie tells the history of the Masons which I didn't know a whole lot about until I watched the movie. You were also supposed to showcase something that you treasure and I treasure all of the happy memories of my Dad! I tried to keep this layout pretty simple. The paper is Heidi Swapp. I printed the Freemason symbol from the internet and cut it out. Thanks for stopping by!

I put Dazzling Diamonds on the flapper's dress. The polka dot paper is a folder that I had so I cut a panel out of that. I added the big gems and ribbon. I am going to try to make some more this weekend since my husband has to work and won't be home to make me work on the kitchen! Thanks for stopping by!

Mojo Monday #93 and House Mouse Challenge #44-paper tole

I tried a technique that was new for me, paper tole. The House Mouse Challenge was to use this on your card. You can go the site to see how to do it, it is a lot of fun! I went for something simple for my first try. The bunny stands out but is hard to scan, looks better in real life! The stamp is Air Head. The paper is K&Co and Sandylion. The button is Fun Felts and the pearls are from Kaiser Scrapbook. I sponged around the images. I used the great sketch from Mojo Monday this week. Thanks for stopping by!
