A Card for Rose

The movie for inspiration at the Cinema Saturday Challenge #64 is Titanic. The inspiration for my card is the encouragement that Jack gave to Rose at the very end of the movie. He told her not to give up, that she was going to live a long life, and she did! Rose rode horses on the beach, married, had children and grandchildren...Rose reminds me of my Grandma. My Grandma lived to the ripe old age of 96. She farmed with my Grandpa, raised 2 girls through the Great Depression, lost a child (my Mom), had many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, she outlived my Grandpa by 20 years and she was feisty to the end, just like Rose!

The stamps that I used for this card is Hot Off the Press. I silver embossed the swirls. The saying is printed off my computer. The paper is Making Memories. I cut the circle and the rectangle with the Spellbinders. I added ribbon and a snowflake. The pink acrylic heart represents Jack. I used the sketch at Mojo Monday #123. Thanks for stopping by!

Spring is Here! (at least on my card!)

I am ready for Spring and The Play Date Cafe #14 gave me the perfect opportunity to make a colorful spring card! The colors to use are green, white, orange purple and dusty pink. I used the card sketch at Midnight Madness #38. Since I used 8 butterflies, I am entering in the Flutterby Wednesday #94 Challenge and the Quixotic Challenge #11-Flutter By. The stamps that I used are StampinUp. I ran the green panel through the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I punched daisies, butterflies and leaves and added gems. Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Friend

I created this card using the Inspirational Card Sketches #51 and the Colour Create Card Challenge #31-soft pink, soft blue, white and silver. I embossed this image(Crafty Individuals) with silver and colored it with Copic markers. The saying is Inkadinkado that I embossed with silver also. The blue paper is Deja Views and the pink paper is Basic Grey. I added the pink swirl bling. Thanks for stopping by!

a simple, sweet birthday card

I created this card for the Penny Black Challenge #85-Something Sweet and the Get Sketchy Challenge #22. My friend Sue sent me this cute image that I colored with Copic markers and added Dazzling Diamonds to the candles. The papers are Memory Makers and the saying is a rubon by Sandylion. Thanks for stopping by!

Love Remains the Same

I created this card for 4 challenges.

Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #63-Australia
Our Creative Corner-Sketch Challenge
Saturday Spotlight with Hidden Potential #15-Let the Sunshine In
Allsorts Challenge week #36-hearts and flowers

The movie at the Cinema Saturday Challenge Blog is Australia. This is such a beautiful, romantic, moving epic. Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman are just so great together in this movie. I cried when he thought that she was killed in the army hospital and when he saved the orphans on the island and finally found her at the end of the movie. Sorry for the spoiler! I was going to try to NOT do a romantic card but I just couldn't! I am just too much of a romantic!

To make this card I rubbed red, orange and yellow ink on a glossy panel. I traced the image of the man and woman that I got from the internet. I filled it in with an embossing pen and embossed it with black. I stamped the birds (Verve) with Versamark and embossed them with black. The paper is SEI. The border punch is Martha Stewart and I added the heart bling. The requirement for the challenge is to use Kraft paper on your card so I printed the song lyrics on it.. The lyrics are from Love Remains the Same. It isn't from the movie but I really think that the words really fit this movie. Thanks for stopping by!

How Corny!

That is the name of this cute House Mouse stamp that I got myself for Christmas! These challenges gave me the opportunity to ink it up.
