Once again I am honored to be a GDT for the Twisted Thursday challenge for the Outlawz!  We are being sponsored by My Besties and they are just the cutest images ever. The twist for this challenge is to add a sentiment.  I have used image 867 not sure of her name or if she is a retired image as I could not find her at Sherri's store.  I just love her little punk style hair. 

Thanks for stopping hope to see you join in the challenge.

Challenges:
Scrapbook Stamp Society - #64 anything goes


Hugs,

A little Birdie told me....

Happy Sunday to you thanks for stopping by!  It is time for a new challenge at CMC challenges and this time it is all about birthdays.

The lucky winner of this challenge will receive a $15.00 gift certificate to spend anyway they want!  We are celebrating birthdays because it was a very special young lady's 18th birthday on Friday the 25th.  Happy Birthday Alexa!

 

I have used this cute little Saturated Canary image called "Canary Love" I just love her little ragamuffin style!

 



My image is colored with copics, the focal image is on cryogen white and the DP's are from my stash!  This card is done completely from things I had on hand, I am really trying to be good and use lots of the things I have.  The sentiment is from LOTV.

I dabbed the markers on the shoes to give the effect of suede.  I thought the distressed edges just was the perfect little touch for this card.

Are you looking for that perfect Christmas gift to you from with lots of love....hey I know I always get myself one well come on over to the CMC classroom and sign up for class 5 it is jam packed with lots of fun techniques

just look at the rusty old truck how cool is that and you can learn to color like that !

I had so much fun making this card for my DIL to give my son for his birthday it is so him LOL !   These cute little images are from Mo's Digital Pencil...I made this an easel card one of my favorite types of card.....this is one of the few cards for a man I have done that I think it turned out pretty good !

 My image is printed on Cryogen white and colored with copics.  I computer generated the sentiments.  DP's are just stuff I had laying around and then I use the MS border and corner punch to accent it.

So there you have and I have to tell you my good friend Sharon is always such an inspiration to me and I just love her to pieces...Hugs to ya my friend !

We have another fun challenge up for you at CMC Challenge this time we want to see you color some funky hair...using multi colors. You may use any image you like of course but NO BRUNETTES, BLONDES or BLACK Haircolors!!   I bet right about now everyone is ready for a break from Christmas cards !  
Our sponsor for this challenge is Simply Betty Stamps the winner will receive some stamps from them and a pack of cryogen white paper.

For my card I used the image called "Jude Pumpkins"  I thought he would fit very well with some funky hair.  I used Kraft cards stock as my base and just ran it through the cuddle bug for some dimension add a strip of perfect paper for birthday.....guy cards are just a challenge for me a few brads some distress ink and there we have it.  The sentiment inside says "You will always be my favorite pumpkin" Happy Birthday !  My oldest grand-daughter wanted this for her dads birthday !

Hi there what a beautiful day it is here is AZ. it was actually a little cool here this morning.  I am so loving the change in the weather as I am over the heat of summer !
I have a couple of days off work so I am enjoying them in my craft room...I need to get started on some Christmas cards and get ahead on some DT projects so that is my goal.
You still have a couple more days to enter the challenge at the CMC Challenge group we want to see some fall colors and then be on the lookout for the next challenge....you won't want to miss that one lots of fun and will stretch your copic skills !
This is a birthday card I made for my dear friend Gail....and I did not post it cause I wanted her to see it first and then forgot all about it till she posted the adorable card she made for me on her blog ! Gail makes the cutest cards and has a heart of gold...

My image is colored with copics...I am sorry but I lost the list I am pretty sure they are the BG's and YR's and E00, E000 and R20 for her skin.  I have added stickles to her wings and glossy accents to the bubbles for accent.  The sentiment stamp is on from the dollar bin at Michael's.  I have no clue what the papers are as I made this from a card kit I rec'd from a great group of gals on SCS..if you have never played along there you should give it a try...great ladies and lots of fun.

I used an MS border punch for the inside with a sentiment stamp that was a gift .... thanks Nora !

Have you heard the News ????

Hi there and happy Tuesday to you all. I hope you are having an enjoyable day, I had a very relaxing and enjoyable day. It is very hot and muggy here in AZ very unusual for us...I think this has been the most humid summer I have experienced in my 14 years here, so I did what I needed to do early and spent the day in the nice cool house putting this little card together. I just love this little Tilda, this is my first time using this stamp which my dear friend Gail shared with me :) I believe she is called "Love News Tilda" and I don't see her but I am sure you can contact Diana and she can help you out. I have followed the sketch at Midnight Madness MMSC67 My image is colored with copics. The DP is basic gray "Porcelain" collection. I really enjoyed making this little gal ! I will be entering her into a few other little challenges.
Magnolia-licious where they want birthday in honor of Diana's birthday month.
Totally Tilda where they want stitching.
Challenge up your life they want celebrate.
All that Scraps anything Magnolia
That is it for me today !
Hugs,

It's your Birthday!

Happy Friday to you all hope you had a great week. Are ya doing anything special this weekend...we are having my DGS 12th birthday party tomorrow not sure how many little guys will be attending but I am sure all his buddies will be ready to go. Then it is church on Sun and more crafting for me !!!! Ok I know what you are thinking she is not going to give this card to her DGS LOL !! No I am not DGS is getting a store bought card this year ! This card is actually for no special reason, I just got my new "wrapped presents #404" stamp from Diana @ Magnolia-licious and I wanted to use them. They are in stock now if you want to grab them. They are in the So Snowy, So Jolly collection. Tilda is Dinner Tilda and I don't see her there right now but I am sure if you contact Diana she can get her for you.

My images are colored with copics and I have to say I did try a new technique with the skin and hair. I used Sharon's tutorials over at Gramma's House of Cards be sure a drop by and just see all the talent she has. I added some little rhinestones for Tilda's jewelry bling. The presents have some stickles on them and I used my new Baby's Breath Shimmerz on the Happy Birthday scallop. I have to tell ya that I am not liking that pink ribbon on there at all but I got a new ATG tape gun and once it is on it stays LOL ! The DP is Imaginisce and just basic purple cardstock. Well that is it for me today. Thanks for coming by.
Hugs,
